IN By R.A.R. A couple of interesting fig- ures popped up again at Don- egal School Board meeting last week. Fo Oo The monthly report of en- rollment indicated that be- tween Dec, 1, 1971 and Jan. 1, 197, the distict’s total en- ollment dropped 21 boys and girls. ® © ¢o The Jan, 1 figure of 2,933 is 44 below the Jan. 1, 1971, school enrollment. e © o ' But, of more significance is the enrollment drop from September of 1969 to January 1, 1972. ® oO o As school opened in the fall of 69, there were 3,022 boys and girls. At the first of this year there were 2.933. Thus, the school population in Don- egal district has dropped 88 boys and girls during the past 28 months. ® © eo A few words about Mount Joy's new borough truck— ® © o Supervisor Cletus Kaylor said Monday, after much crit- ical examination of the new vehicle, “It’s the best truck we've ever had.” ee © o And, that’s important. In the past, the borough trucks, for one reason or another, have not been exactly what is needed to do the total job. ® © o For instance — the new truck is a bit shorter than others. That makes it easier and more possible to get into and around corners of alleys throughout the borough. ®e © eo Another “for instance” — The snow plow controls are hydraulic rather than electri- cally controlled. Kaylor feels that this is much better. ® o eo One more example — The new “cinder” spreader (which actually spreads stone and salt) is controlled by the man operating the truck. The hopper is fed by a screw con- veyor, operated hydraulical- ly. It is not necessary for a man to ride the back of the truck, exposing himself to a very real hazard.

Lack of time and lack of space have made it impossible for this column to appear the last few weeks. There were Bulletin readers kind and gracious enough to say that they missed it. Please accept our apologies and be assured we will try to present.it more regularly! 7 dow It is hard to realize that February is here already. There has been so little snow! But - one cannot dispute the calendar, and it says Wednes- day was Groundhog Day! So, even if Mr. Woodchuck saw his shadow, there can, accor- ding to the legend, be only six more weeks of winter. And if he didn't — spring could come “busting” out all over” just any day now! We heard, all through the month of January, about for- sythia being in bloom, crocus- es popping through the soil only to be frozen by the sudden blast of winter about two weeks ago) and, wild ducks confusedly visiting the small lakes and ponds in our area because they thought winter was about over! But then came a few inch- es of snow, out came the by the editor's wife snow shovels, snow plows, skis, snowmobiles and other related items—and we realiz- ed that spring was really not just around the corner at all! * won Most of us have enjoyed the snowless winter. But there are quite a few hardy souls who have found it most disappointing! They are the skiing enthusiasts, the owners of new snowmobiles, and those to whom a nice, big snow is an exciting adventure. Maybe the next six weeks will give them their ‘inning.’ * * * Not long ago we had a de- lightiul surprise. A gracious lady walked into the Bulletin, set a package in the counter, and began to unwrap it. The contents turned out to be a beautiful little crystal wine glass, which she said she would like for us to have. She had noticed our small collection of wineglasses in a wall case at the Bulletin, and knew we would enjoy and appreciate it, not for any utilitarian purpose, but be- cause it was small, and dain- ty. and decorative. The gracious lady was Mrs. (Turn to page 16) Pinewood Winners Steven Marshall, member of Cub Pack 263, Mount Joy, has won the grand champion- ship of the Pinewood Derby, held recently.
