We have been asked, and
we wonder if others also
have not had the same ques-
tion, “How much money does
a mill tax rate raise?”

In the borough of Mt. Joy,
one mill produces $5,000. In
Donegal School District, one
mill raises $11.000 and $12,
000.

Another question the pub-
lic has asked recently—‘ How
much do borough councilmen
make?” Mount Joy pays $15

‘Of This and That’
If you keep an open mind,
you never know what you
may learn, or the interesting
experiences you may have!
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! The

Miss McCulloch was a for-

included various
sizes of ‘recorders, ‘“‘wrumm-
horns,” ‘kortholts,” a “‘rausch-
pfeife,” ‘“cornettos”, a ‘shawn’
woodwinds
a “BAROQUE OBE” and a
“sackbut’,
The stringed instruments
used were a beautiful lute, a
small guitar, a psaltery and
a “viola de gamba’. 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.

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!

prizes will be given to the
four best, for originality and
cleverness. 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

Nov. 11 occasion, comes on
Octobar 235.
Those observing the new
Veterans Day, will include

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.

etery.

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.
Before the quarter turn
around, a pair of expensive
Elizabethtown penalties help-

The Mount Joy Leisure

Mr. and Mrs. Park Eberly

After the meeting a social
hour was held and refresh-

next meeting the men will
serve a luncheon to the la-
dies.
S bears
ed set up a 44-yard drive for
Donegal. Mark Gainer went
in from the 10 and Rider
kicked.
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 purchase has been

However, moving of the

will not be completed until

Presently, only the lower

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
