With a completely open mind, we attended a musical program last Thursday night at Elizabethtown College, presented by the Waverly Consort. Our reward was a delightful and refreshing in- terlude of some of the most interesting and unusual mus- ic we have ever heard. It was made by a group of six very talented profession- al musicians, including a sparkling soprano, a vivaci- ous tenor, and four instru- mentalists. All that sounds very. “un- ual”’—but it wasn’t! Because the music was “of the Tudor Courts, from Henry VIII to Queen Elizabeth,” and it was written in the 16th century! And the instruments’ They were beautiful, and fascinat- ing, and very strange!

In sever- al numbers, one of the music- ians played a little chamber organ, with two ranks of metal flue pipes and a com- pass of three and a half oc- taves. There was a variety of percussion instruments small drums, tambourines, finger cymbals, triangles and hand bells. Each musician could play several instru- ments. The final group of selections was a medley of tunes men- tioned in Shakespeare’s plays. The music was unfamiliar, but thoroughly enjoyable. tion small’ ,*RJ2 The “Consort” (concert) was given in the small Rider recital hall before a capacity audience of very warm and responsive people, For inti- macy and personal warmth, it might have been a recital in the drawing room of a big, private home. The performers were so close to the audi- ence that it was possible to see each facial expression, each motion of a hand, an arm or a foot. It was charming!

The prizes will be free tickets to the Homecom- ing game on Saturday, plus money for a hot dog and a drink at the game. Saturday morning there will be Alumni hockey and Soccer games, both beginning at 10 o'clock. The soccer game will be at the Beahm field and the hockey match at Donegal. Top billing for Homecom- ing, of course, will be the football game Saturday, be- ginning at 1:30 p.m. between the Indians and the visiting Garden Spot Spartans. And, the crowning of the Homecoming Queen will be a highlight. At halftime, the Donegal high school band will present a special performance, ex- pected to be a “noisy” affair and including the appear- ance of the Alumni band. Di- rector Glenn Leib said this week that additional musi- cians for that group still can bz used, even at the last min- ute. The band’s show will have a Civil War theme and it is expected that there will be representatives of the Lancas- ter Fensables taking part. Saturday night the Donegal Student Council will sponsor its Homecoming Dance from 7:30 until 10:30 p.m. New Date for Veterans Day Next Monday, Oct. 25, will be Veterans Day, the second October ‘‘Monday holiday” changing traditional observ- ances of long standing. Columbus Day, until 1971 . on October 12, was observed on Monday, Oct. 11. Veterans Day, until now a Nov. 11 occasion, comes on Octobar 235. Those observing the new Veterans Day, will include the Post Office. At the schools, there is a certain option, though the state requires some notice of the accasion. The October or November day may possibly be used. At Donegal high school, an assembly will be held Mon- day and will be in. charge of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, of which Martin Brown is commander. The program is set for 10:45 a.m. The veterans also will dec- orate graves—the V.F.W, at Eberle cemetery and the Legion at the Mount Joy cem- etery. KINSEYS BUY PAPER BOX CO.

Smashing their traditional rivals, the Bears, Donegal posted victory number one INDIANS OF WEEK For the .first time this season, there was a tie in the voting by coaches of Donegal’s football team for the “most valuable player of this week.” Against Elizabethtown last week, Mark Gainer, senior tailback, and Steve Tuckpr. junior halfback, were voted most valuable on offense. Defensively, the most valuable was Jerry Hess, junior line backer. ; for the season, to combine with an early season tie to bounce off the bottom into ninth place in the Lancaster loop. The shadow of victory ap- peared quickly. The game was only minutes old when Steve Tucker grabbed an El- izabethtown pass at midfield and raced 50 yards to the goal. A kick conversion at- tempt was not good.

Although the Bears count-_ ed and Donegal counted a field goal in the second and the Tribe put the dicing on the cake in the fourth with 4 minutes left, the first period was the win/loss story. In the final, a 54-yd. punch sent the Green to the three, There, on fourth down, Gain- er again carried and banged into the end zone. Donegal’s field goal came in the second period when Ryder kicked from the 11. This week the Indians play on Saturday afternoon for a Homecoming crowd, meeting Garden Spot. The Spartans last week fell victim to the high-flying Conestoga Valley Buckskins, 37-6. It was No. 5 for both teams—CV in wins and G.S. in losses.

The property has been owned by Mrs. Mary Byrnes of Lancaster. The purchase has been completed and the building already is being put to use as storage. However, moving of the manufacturing operations will not be completed until in the spring. Kinsey said this week that the firm which he and his son, James oper- ate, is in need of additional room into which to expand. Presently, only the lower floor of the old box factory building will be used by the Kinseys. The archery equipment firm began on Chocolate avenue, moved a few years ago to the present location at 411 West Main and now has expanded into the nearby property ac- ross the street, Hears About Retirement Dr. Raymond R. Peters, who is conducting a series of meetings at Florin Church of the Brethren, was the speak- er Tuesday noon at the week- ly luncheon meeting of the Mount Joy Rotary club, heid at Hostetters. Retired and now living in Florida, Dr, Peters talped on “Life Style of Meaningful Re- tirement.” Basing some of his remarks on his observations since hjs retirement, he said that men- tal attitudes of people who have left regular employ- ment probably will remain much as it was. A negative thinker will remain a nega- tive thinker. In that respect, there is not a great change, he said. But, many of the ego needs of younger people are quite reversed, he observed. For in- stance, the ‘work hard’ drive is very much changed. The “ratrace’’ is eliminated. He pointed to expanded opportunities to be creative and to be helpful as an open end path in retirement. The speaker was introduc- ed by the Rev. Jacob Rep- logle, pastor of the Florin Church of the Brethren IN HOSPITAL Wilbur A.
