By R.A.R. A question we've had ask- ed a couple of times recent- ly deserves an answer. And, possibly there are others who are interested. ®e oo o Last ‘summer the Donegal school district received an unexpected $30,000 windfall. ® © ¢o This is how it happened. ® © than 20 years ago the late Clarence Schock formed the non-profit Joy company to develop what can roughly be identified as the Park Avenue area. e © o Over the years the devel- opment grew into a substan- tial venture and there were profits. More ® © 2 Now with no more land to sell, the. company is being dissolved and the profits turn- _ed over to Donegal school, according to terms of the or- iginal agreement. ® 6 oo The $30,000 already has been distributed and there are indications that there will be additional money when the financial settlement of the company is finally completed. ® © ® In the beginning, the profit from the Joy company was to have gone to the Mount Joy schools, However, when the school merger was completed the beneficiary of the com- pany became Donegal Dis trict. ® © ® Reminder — If your auto- mobile bears a No. 2 wind- shield sticker, you have only until the end of this month to have a new inspection made, 2% THE ES Eo MOUNT : 39 JOY : + v2 el Mount Joy's ONLY Newspaper — Devoted to the Best Interest and Welfare of Mount Joy - 5 VOL. 70.

That is the heart and meat of a long evening of explan- ation given Wednesday night, Jan. 20, as the recently com- pleted “Donegal Area Com- prehensive Plan” was given first public airing. A voluminous study which was done in depth and with infinite patience over a peri- od of two years, "the plan” actually is a 147-page publi- cation. Done under the sponsor- ship of the Mount Joy and ‘Of This and That’ Many interesting things come in the mail to The Bul- letin. Routinely we get news releases about local college students and young men in the services. Regularly we re- ceive brochures of activities at Longwood Gardens, at the various colleges in this area, and at such distance points as Atlantic City or the Poconos. We seemto be on the mail- ing list for every kind of pub- lication put out by industries in Lancaster County and else- where, (Most of them are works of art, with gorgeous photography and interesting stories.) It goes without saying that we cannot print in The Bul- letin all the material we re- ceive, although we do make it a point to use everything that concerns local people. A few weeks ago we were sent an advance copy of a Pennsylvania Dutch Cook- book. It was compiled by Gerald S. Lestz, editor of the Baer’s Agricultural Almanac, and printed .by Grosset and Dunlap in New York City. The book includes an infor- mal history of the Pennsyl- vania Dutch, a section on “The Amish Today,” and a large section of mouth-water- ing recipes. It is interesting that one of the recipes, for potato salad dressing, was contributed for the book by Mrs. Joan Way of 248 Marietta Ave., Mt. Joy. Just for the record, here it is, and it sounds delicious: ® * * 2 eggs 1 tablespoon mustard 1 cup sugar 15 cup vinegar 15 cup water . by the editor's wife Flour Beat eggs and mustard to- gether. Add sugar, vinegar and water. Stir to mix. Bring to a boil. Let boil about eight minutes. Thicken with a little flour and water as you would for gravy. Remove this dress- ing from fire and add it to cooked, diced potatoes mixed with celery, onions and hard- cooked eggs. Add salt and pepper for taste. * LJ @* Among the many other recipes are roast pig's stom- ach, mincemeat, schnitz un knepp, raw potato cakes, riv- els, fried pumpkin, cup cus- tard, cracker pudding, hard ginger cookies, fasnachts and many other delicacies. We have put the book on our kitchen shelf with Betty Crocker, the Boston Cooking School eookbook, the Spice Islands cook book, Gourmet Foods, the Blender Way to Better Cooking, etc. It is our intention to try some of the recipes soon. That would be an excellent antidote for those “mid-win- ter doldrums,” which are due to appear just any -day now! al *® * An always-welcome visitor to The Bulletin office is Miss Mary Sentz, Donegal Springs road, who comes in occasion- ally to chat awhile. In a con- versation not long ago, she told us of a niece who with her family is serving as a missionary in India. * » uw When the niece went back to India from the United States last February, after a furlough in this country, she ordered a new refrigerator to be sent to their home in Ind- (Turn to page 4) been at the Donegal Township and by the Lanc. Co. Planning Commis- sion, the study delves into every facet of community life, telling how things are now, how they can be expect- ed to become and making specific suggestions as to how to guide and control growth for best possible success. About 115 people attended the meeting, held in the Don- egal high school. Nearly half were attached to the project in one way or another as members of planning organi- zations, zoning bodies, etc. Using visual aids to explain “the Plan,” a chapter by chapter presentation of the study was given, followed by a summation by Robert S. Yates, of the Lancaster Coun- ty Planning commission, and a question and answer period. Yates pointed out that Zoning is the key to controll- ing growth and expansion and becomes the tool for fashioning the best possible community. One of the most easily un- derstood sections of the entire study report was in the area of transportation. To facilitate traffic flow in an improved pattern in the future, three new roadways are recommended for the fu- ture: 1—a Mount Joy bypass, beginning on Road 141 just south of Donegal high school and swinging east and north to finally connect with Le- fever road. The roadway THE BULLETIN'S Cheer Club Listed below is the name of a shut-in, an elderly person, or some other member of our community to whom a card or a message of any kind would mean much.

The plan also would con- nect east School Lane with S. Barbara street. Various general and speci- fic recommendations were made in the areas of land use, community facilities, utilities (water and sewers), health, public safety, water availability, solid waste col- lection and disposal, educa- tion and recreation, Scouts Reorganize In observance of National Boy Scout Week, Feb. 7 - 13, and the 61st Anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America, Irvin Smith, Troop Commit- tee chairman, announces the reorganization of Mount Joy's Troop 39. Parents of all Scouts and prospective Scouts are invit- ed and urged to attend a re- organizational meeting at the Boy Scout House, located at the rear of 17 Poplar Street, Mount Joy, on Wednesday, Feb. 10, at 7:30 p.m. At this meeting, the troop will reorganize under new and enthusiastic leadership with leaders trained in Scout- ing. The new leaders are: Har- old L. Milligan, Scoutmaster, 445 Donegal Springs Rd., Mt. Joy; Ronald N. Stauffer, Asst. Scoutmaster, 703 Square St., Mount Joy; and Donald L. Givler, Asst.

School Beard Hears Routine Reports Only In a brief, 50-minute meet- ing Thursday evening, Jan, 21, Donegal School Board hired two interim teachers and heard routine reports. Miss Kathleen L. Wiler of Lawrence Park, Erie, was named to teach home _econ- omics for the balance of this school year. A recent gradu- ate of Penn State, she has been doing student teaching in the Donegal district. Robert C. Miller Jr. wiil teach fifth grade for the re- mainder of this school year at Grandview, replacing Mrs. Barbara Pierce. He will be graduated from Elizabeth- town college this week and he too has been doing stu- dent teaching in the district. Concern about school funds was expressed as the Com- monwealth heads into a fin- ancial trauma. On Dec. 17, Donegal dis- trict received a quarteriy subsidy check amounting to $256,097. Board members were told that the next two checks an- ticipated from the state are uncertain as to when they will be issued. Presently, the state tax funding picture is unclear.
