THE MOUNT JOY — Ire— VOL. 70. NO. 26. Christmas Lites On Main Street Being Installed With Thanksgiving here, can Christmas be far away? A. certain proof that one does follow immediately on the heels of the other is evi- denced with the appearance on Mount Joy’s Main street of the community’s decora- tive Christmas lights. Arthur Sprecher, chairman of the lighting program, said this week that he hopes to have all lights in place and illuminated by Friday night, Nov. 27. Many of the fixtures along the length of the Main street already have been erected on utility poles. Others will go up this week as workmen have an opportunity to get at the job. The 1970 display, financed as usual, by contributions by individuals, businesses, indus- try and organizations, will include the “GREETINGS” signs — one at each end of Main street—and nearly sixty lighted wreaths. Sprecher, who has headed the lighting program for years, said that the fixtures will be spaced along the dis- tance of Main street between the two ‘‘greeting”’ banners. One banner is at Main and Park avenue. The other is at Gehman’s on West Main. The number of colorful de- vices is the same .as a year ago. Electricity for the various lights is furnished by resi- dents and businesses located along Main street. Service- men. drop cords into homes along Main street. Service- men drop cords into homes & stores, where timers are set to keep the lights burning from immediately after Jan- uray 1. COMMUNITY THANKSGIVING ‘SERVICE Thanksgiving services for the entire community will be held on Wednesday evening, Nov. 25, at the Trinity Luth- eran church. Scheduled for 7:30 o'clock, the service will be sponsored by the Mount Joy Ministeri- um with the Rev. Woodrow Kern, pastor of the Chiques United Methodist church as the speaker. Interchurch Unit Being Formed A new body was born at Chiques United Methodist Church on Sunday afternoon, Nov. 22. Representatives from the various churches in the Mount Joy area constituted themselves into the Mt. Joy Interchurch Council. Cooperative Christian work in Mount Joy has long been planned and promoted by the Mount Joy Ministerium. Upon the initiation of the Ministerium, this work will now be developed by the new Interchurch Council. Each church of the Mount Joy area is invited to be represented on the Interchurch Council by four persons: one lay man, one lay woman, one youth and its pastor. Officers of the Interchurch Council for 1971 will be the Rev. Clair L. Wagner, Jr. Glossbrenner United Metho- dist Church, chairman; Char- les Hershey, Church of God, vice chairman; Mrs. Cather- (Turn to page 8) D.H.S. Ends Grid Session After trailing, 14-12, at the end of the third period, Man- heim Central’s Barons put to- gether two touchdowns in the final period Saturday night, Nov. 21, to stop the Donegal Indians, 24 - 14. The game brought down the curtain on the 1970 grid- iron season for both teams, spotting the Indians at 4-6 for the season and establishing three W. - L. strings—three losses, four wins and three losses.

Walter, mayor of Mount Joy for several years. She has been confined to her home for the past several months. Friday night, the game last weekend was played under the Manheim lights. A down- pour of rain Friday just after dusk washed out hopes of playing any kind of decent game. Manheim scored in the first period, pushing the opening kickoff to the seven and then across the goal. The running try for extra points failed. Again, in the second period the Barons recovered a fum- ble deep in their own terri- tory and almost immediately broke the ball carrier loose for 95 yards to a touchdown. Again the extra point try failed. The Indians picked up scor- ing speed and before the half ended, knitted together aerial and ground bursts to move 68 yards and their first TD of the game. A two-point conversion by a running play set the score at 12-8 for the intermission. A fumbled punt by the Barons in the third set the stage for the Tribe's go-ahead counter. Recovery on the 24 yard line of Manheim gave Donegal its opportunity in nine plays to go over from the two wih quarterback Es- tock carrying. The try for conversion by running was not good. The score then stood 14-12 for the Indians. However, after the sides changed ends of the field, the Barons dug in with a wicked- ness that scored two TD's. Quickly in the fourth, Man- heim marched 63 yards to (Turn To page 3) As we observe Thanksgiving Day — a legacy from the Pilgrim forefathers — we can indeed be thankful for our proud heritage, for our way of life, for freedom and its blessings.

People were scurrying here and there, up and down Main Street and in the resi- dential areas; cars were ev- erywhere! But it wasn’t children with their ponderous bags of treats; it was grownups, dres- sed in their best, hurrying hither and yon to visit the seven homes and two church- es on the Business and Pro- fessional Women’s first can- dielight Tour of Homes! A gala time it was, too! The heavy rain of Friday night had ceased; the air was by the editor's wife brisk and clear. The homes and churches on the tour were looking their prettiest, and the visitors all seemed to be enjoying themselves immensey. There were old homes, a brand new home, and others “in between”. Both St. Luke's Episcopal and Trinity church- es were proudly holding open house in new buildings — St. Luke’s in a parish house and Trinity in a sanctuary. It was like “old home week” in a way, for everywhere you went, you met friends or neighbors or relatives. There were oh’s and ah’s (Turn to page 4) UN Yd - JTEeH ¢ Rofl qu o - zepRus WH “Bd
