“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

of conjecture. 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.

WASHINGTON REPORT
Congressman Edwin D. 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.”

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.
In our view, if a girl can

quest for U. S. Office of Edu- .
cation programs was $3.97
billion in rounded figures.
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
