By R.A.R. Last week, Donegal School district announced that it will give an Educational Quality Assessment question- aire to pupils in the fifth and eleventh grades. ® ®e © object is to take a look at how the school is meeting its Ten - Goals of Quality Education, & ® Rd What those goals are makes an interesting picture as set forth by the district. They are: Quality education 1. Should help every child acquire the greatest possible understanding of himself and an appreciation of his worth- iness as a member of society. The 2. Should help every child 3 acquire understanding and appreciation of persons be- longing to social, cultural and ethic groups different from his own. 3. Should help every child acquire to the fullest extent possible for him mastery of the basic skills in the use of words and numbers. 4. Should help every child acquire a positive attitude to- ward school and toward the learning process. 5. Should help every child acquire the habits and atti- tudes associated with respon- sible citizenship. 6.

Those good old days! ® ® ® Just off the top of your head—how many years do you think it has been since the big fall event was closed and discontinued? » ® ® Now, think about it a min- ute before you read on. What “is your guess? Ten years - eight years - 12 years - more than that? ® ® © To satisfy what seemed to be some kind of a friendly, apparently, argument at a lo- cal plant last Friday after- noon, we thumbed back thru the old copies of The Bulletin to discover that the last year Mount Joy had its show, was in 1958. It was the 37th an- nual event. ® ® © But, like a lot of other sim ilar shows throughout the area, the ‘event was discon- tinued and now it a subject for nostalgic contemplation. “What good times we used to have” about sums it up for a lot of people in this commu- nity. ®e © o Those people in the com- munity who are interested in land prices—and there are a (Turn to page 1€} MOUNT Mount Joy's ONLY Newspaper VOL. 71 NO. 19. : MOUNT JOY, PENNA., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1971 Firemento House Pumper Saturday, Oct. 9, Friendship Fire Co., No, 1, Mount Joy, officially will house its 1971 Hahn Fire Engine, placed in service this past summer, The company will hold an open house all day from 10:30 a.m, to community welcome 5 p.m, with everyone in the to attend, There will be free gifts for the children, as well as important infor- mation for the adults, Highlight of th e planned activities will take place at 2 p.m. when the new truck housing cere- mony will begin, There will be a speaker.

There were about 30 of them, he said. A few days later we, too, saw a flock noisily honking its way over Mount Joy. If the ducks fly south, can Winter be far behind? And yet—our same infor- mant told us that he has a few azaleas in bloom, and a few sprigs of forsythia! That is certainly a contradiction of the ducks’ message! Which shall we believe? * * % A lot of pleasure in life comes vicariously.

We didn’t actually carry the heavy packs—or experi- ence the exhilaration of rea- ching the top after a rugged three-day climb—but we did hear about it in sufficient de- tail ALMOST to feel we were there! And it was quite an adven- ture. Four young college men set out on foot from the base of the mouhtain with a small bottled gas stove, two small tents, sleeping bags, canteens, and dehydrated and canned foods. They climbed over rugged from someone terrain, through a deep rav- ine, up to the timberline. The last night, above the timberline, they had to sleep in rough lean-to huts, be- cause sleening in tents on the bare hillside would have been too dangerous. The view from the top? It was obscured by clouds when our friends got there. The weather was bleak, windy and cold. They didn’t tarry long. The trip down the mountain was made via the cog railway. There were many hikers on the trail, one of the young men told us. There were col- lege people, older people, a few children. A sense of ‘camaraderie’ existed among them all. The common bond was the thrill of climbing a (Turn to page 16) Special Jaycee Meet The Mount Joy Jaycees will hold a special meeting next Tuesday, Oct 12, at the Jaycee home on Main street All members are encour- aged to bring guests In addition to having a guest speaker, Dick Harcle- rode, the Columbia Jaycees will visit and roll the barrel. Regional vice-president Ken Myer will present a plaque to Mount Joy for attendance at a county meeting. Braves Downed In Three Games The Donegal Braves Midget Teams will have to get in some extra blocking practice this week if they are to make a good showing against their traditional local rivals Sun: day. True, they lost to a stal wart team, St. Joe of Lancas- ter, but in recent years the Braves have been able to hold their own against them. Sunday, Oct. 2, the Braves lost by the score of 26-0 to the “A” team, 20 to 0 in the “B” game and 21-0 in the ‘C’ tilt. Sunday, Oct. 10 at Done- gal high school field, Eliza- bethtown will be out to show their strength after last year's losses to the Braves. For those that don’t remember the scores were Donegal 14-0 in the ‘A’ game, Donegal 16- 6 in the ‘B’, and the ‘C’ score was Donegal 6-0. But the Braves were scoring last year This ‘year only the ‘B" team has shown winning form. The game at St. Joe's was played under bright sunshine with near 90 degree tempera- tures. This should be a per- fect fall weekend by right of law of averages. If it is and the seats are full, this Sun- day’s games should prove to be filled with exciting foot- ball. Perhaps the roar of the home crowd may give the lo- cal boys the boost they need to get on the score board more often. Cemetery Assn.

Begin Five-Week Drive Lancaster countians are co- operating to accomplish a "71 United Campaign in the five- week period which closes on Oct. 29. Paul A. Mueller, Jr, general chairman, said the goal is $1,690,409. Five thousand volunteers are involved in this year’s drive to secure pledges of “life-blood’”” support for 37 service agencies. Mueller ur- ged that all county famili- lies consider their oppor- tunity to give through their wage earn- ™ «<3 ers. All in- al dustries and organizations have been urged to set up payroll deduction plans to ac- commodate employees. he said. “Remember. that United Campaign agencies offer ser- vices to everyone in the County,” he pointed out. “not only those who suffer financ- ial problems. When tragedy or crippling illness strikes, anyone could need help.” he said. The ‘“‘united” drive makes possible operational expenses for the many services, but of- ficials of the Campaign care- fully explain that no agency is completely underwritten by funds from the drive. Sev- eral charge membership and service fees in order to de- fray costs, although persons unable to pay are always pro- vided the care and help their situation requires.
