It is believed that it will take © 80 hours of continuous read- ing. Donegal School Board is getting a little stern about the failure of the builder of Riverview’s school to com- plete satisfactorily some pha- ses of the job. For instance— a drainage problem at the northwest corner of the buil- ding. ® oe © If it is important to have more water, then it is impor- tant to save the water that we have! ® ® © This week the Lancaster County Planning Commission listed 29 highway projects (in the order of their approv- ed importance) which need attention in this area. ® oo o One improvement which deserves high priority which is NOT on the list is a big overhead sign. above the ap- proach to the intersection of Road 30 & 283 (near K Mart). ® ®e © Literally dozens of travel- ers moving west fail to make this turn up the ramp and onto route 30. Instead, they continue on westward on Rt. 283, breezing along on the ex- pressway until about the time they reach our area. Then, beginning to realize their mistake and get panicky, they turn into Mt. Joy to ask directions. ® ® © This is not a once-in-a- while incident.

MOUNT JOY, PENNA., WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 25, 1971 Devoted to the Best Interest and Welfare of Mount Joy TEN CENTS Donegal District Sees Deficit Financing For Most Of Coming School Year REIMBURSEMENT FUNDS TIED UP BY STATE A school year of deficit fi- nancing appears a certainty, the Donegal ° District School Board was told Thursday night, August 19, as it held its August meeting at River- view school, Superintendent R. F. Hall- gren, looking to the fiscal situation said that with cur- rent state budget problems as they are “we seem to have a dismal future on subsidy payments, “If the governor's 2.5 per- cent income tax had passed, we would have received only 60 per cent of our November 1971 subsidy payment and 50 per cent of our February ’72 payment with the balance to be received, hopefully in Ap- ril of 1972. Now, since the 2.3 percent income tax is be- ing considered, matters could be more delayed. An increase in school appropriations seem imminent, but the effects on districts such as ours could be minimal. It seems assured that we will operate through much of 1971-72 on borrow- ed funds.” The matter of disciplined administration in both high school and junior high school appeared on the scene as the board named Hubert Peters,, Beahm Junior high math tea- cher, as assistant to Junior High School Principal Sam- uel Harnish. Additional com- pensation was set at $400 for thé ’71-°72 school year, A second assistant to Prin- cipal Donald Drenner at high school was nominated—at a suggested compensation of $250—Dbut the matter was ta- ken under consideration for committee study and action. The proposed job would sup- plement the duties of Roy Ar- mold. The board was told by its architectural firm, Buchart Associates, that it is estimat- ed that it would require $100,000 to $125,000 to make proposed changes in athletic fields and to build a running track. The archietet also said that proposed new front doors on the building will cost $5,000 to $8,500. The music department was authorized to check into the possibility of includin a string instrumental program in the schools this fall. Auth- orization was given for the program if the student fees will pay the costs and make it self supporting. A firm of Gooding, Simp- son & Mackes of Ephrata was given a contract at $15,033 for replacing the floor at the Maytown elementary school. - The contractor moved equip- Bible Reading Marathon The Christ's Crusaders youth group of the Mt.

RR A ER A ERR S— Future Uses Of Gov. Dick Study Possible How best to use Governor Dick was the object of an “on-the-spot” inspection Mon- day, Aug. 23, by a bevy of schoolmen, including repre- sentatives of four colleges. Led by Superintendent R. F. Hallgren of the Donegal School District, the party visited the site of the old ra- dar installation, of the Schock summer home and of the con- crete silo lookout. The men were seeking to dredge up ideas of how best to rut the property, which is owned by Donegal schools, to best use—particularly for educational purposes. While there were no speci- fic ideas, one thought which may be followed up is to make an “inventory” of what the 1,000-acre (approxi- mately) site has to offer for present-day uses. Ecology was mentioned. Besides representatives of the Donegal district, there were representatives of F&M college, Millersville State col- lege, Elizabethtown college and of Lebanon Valley col lege. . The radar site, many months ago was virtually totally des- troyed by vandals and the (Turn to page 16) Merchants Hold Sales A concerted effort by Mount Joy merchants is being made this week to give area shoppers an opportunity to take advantage of End-of-Summer and Back-to-School sales.
