Shopping Daze Wry BOTVIIsm CHomps BREAK FAST FO SLieHTLY UNDER EDITORIALS --- “A tangible memorial” to the mem- ory of the late Clarence Schock should be provided in this community. That is the opinion of the president of the Donegal School Board presi- dent. And, with that we could not agree more completely. There are comparatively few men who have done more than a little for Mount Joy. Many have done some things, many more have done a lot of things. But, the number of people who have done a great deal for the commu- nity is very small. The late Clarence Schock truly has been a benefactor of Mount Joy and the school district. And, the product of his beneficence continues to serve across a wide area. Schock’s dedication to education is manifested in many ways. For in- stance, he created the SICO park in Mount Joy, which actually is a school park, given to the community. Not only was it given to the community, but funds and arrangements made to pro- vide for the upkeep. He also gave to the school a huge mountain tract of land, generally identified as “Governor Dick”. What real function it has served, is a matter for speculation. How it will be used in the future is a matter If You Would Write - - Would you like to write to your state or federal representatives in Har- risburg or Waghington?

But, few thinking peo- ple are willing to say quickly that the gift does not have some kind of tre- mendous possibility in the future. Schock also set up the SICO Foun- dation, which each year helps to make college educations possible for a num- ber of young men and women who have an interest in public school teaching. Truly, the Donegal School Board, which has inherited the benefits from Mount Joy schools would be wise to remember Schock now that there is an opportunity to use a portion of a $30,000 plus windfall gift — which Schock himself provided by his inclus- ion of the schools in his establishment of the Joy Development company. The opinion expressed by School Board President J. Edw. Charles was a personal view, but it is shared by many and deserves the support of the community when a proper memorial project is select- Hw ed. It’s all well and good to condemn phosphates. Phosphates contribute directly to water pollution and to destruction of the ecological processes. But, elimination of phosphates in washing powders alone will not solve the pollution problem. What will go a long long way to- ward a solution is the building of sew- age disposal plants which will elimin- ate phosphates from the effluant dis- charged into the streams. Human wastes are rich—very rich —in phosphates and those too must be handled in the sewage systems before pollution of water is brought under control. Change Fire Code Friendship Fire company will use the old system of blowing its fire code. At the company’s Febru- ary meeting, held Thursday, Feb. 4, it was voted to revert to a system in use several years ago. In the future, the code to indicate in what area a fire has been reported will be as follows: West of the post office — two blows. East of the post office — three blows. Outside the borough — four blows. Emergency— 1 long and 1 short.

Eshleman 16th District—Pennsylvania A number of well-informed people have been raising the question: “Why has President Nixon cut education funds?” Evidently there is a rather widespread impression that our schools have not been getting as much money recently from the Federal Government as they have received in the past. No doubt, this thinking stems from the two President- ial vetoes of education appro- priations bills, But, it is a mistaken impression, and one which needs clarification. Without reference to the controversial vetoes of educa- tion funds (there are many good arguments on both sides of that issue), the fact is that the President has not cut, but has substantially increas- ed, funds for education and related programs. The 1972 budget requests call for even more educational spending, and indicate that the Federal commitment to quality schools is as strong as ever. To document the evidence regarding educational expen- ditures, the fiscal 1971 Budget must be used as a base. It was the first complete Nixon Administration budget. Also, it was the defense of -that budget which caused the President to veto an educa- tion appropriations bill which exceeded his original request by $400 million. The President's 1971 re- final appropriation for fiscal 1970. In other words, it is neither fair nor accurate to portray President Nixon as “cutting education funds.” (Turn to page 3) \ — % Others are Saying GIRLS AND SPORTS Girls scored another tally recently in their efforts to compete with boys in school sports. The chancellor of New York’s school system recom- mended girls be allowed to compete with boys on school teams in noncontact sports like golf and swimming. He did so after a statewide ex- periment at 100 high schools worked out well — and un- der pressure of a lawsuit filed for a 16-year-old tennis-play- ing girl whose school had on- ly a boy’s tennis team.

This amount was $375 mil- lion more than President Johnson's request of the year before. It was $300 million more than was appropriated by Congress in either fiscal 1968 or 1969. And, it was $150 million more than the January 28, 1864, the Mt.
