Mrs. George Albert and son Scott, spent four exciting days during Easter vacation touring London and surroun- ding areas. They were part of a Millersville Alumni tour, which included 252 tourists, They left Philadelphia Wed- nezday evening. March 29th and arrived in England Thurs- day morning. They toured parts of Lon- don and particularly enjoyed the Chelsea area, A special treat was getting to see the famous Crown Jewels of Eng- land, located in the Tower of London. They were present for the Changing of Guards at Buckingham Palace. On Easter morning they attended the 10 o'clock service at St. Paul’s Cathedral, which fea- tured a special “Easter Gard- en” with three crosses and numerous daffodils and prim- roses planted in a large area in the Cathedral. These flow- ers are the unofficial flower of England and were blooming in abundance everywhere. It was a welcome preview of Spring, for England is six weeks ahead of us weather- wise. They rented a car and drove outside of London to Strat forn-on-Avon and visited William Shakespeare's birth- place, Anne Hathaway's cot- tage, which is a world fam- ous farm house, and Shakes- peare’s mother’s home in the country which dates back to the 1300’s. Mrs. Albert espec- ially enjoyed exotic herb gar- dens at Oxford University, Shakespeare's birthplace and Ann Hathaway’s cottage. The highlight of the trip for Scott, was a drive to see the Rollright Rocks, the re- mains of an ancient worship center dating back to 2500 B. C. On the flight home they were fortunate enough to re- fuel in Iceland and deplaned for 45 minutes. They browsed through a fascinating gift shop where the unusual articles were made exclusively by the Icelandic people. A look at the glaciers of Greenland sparkling in the sunshine was a breathtaking conclusion to an unforgettable few days half way around the world. * * * A surprise baby shower was held for Mrs. Joseph Her- shey on Wednesday evening, April 5, in the home of Mrs. Pat Moran.

There is a fine borough building, and a borough man- ager. Two “blue chip” industries, National-Standard and Nation- al Cash Register have impres- sive factories at the eastern edge of town. Two new elementary schools have been built, Seiler and Grandview, and the old Mt. Joy high school has been re- modeled into a well-equipped junior high. In addition, a huge Lancaster county vo-tech cchool rises just north of town, A broad, new by-pass has relieved the truck traffic on Main street. While all this growth and progress were taking place, a few landmarks have pgssed into oblivion. Several Main Street businesses have ‘gone with the wind’ — Eshleman Bros. clothing store, Isaac Morris’ Mt. Joy Dept. Store, Acme, A&P and Hess grocery stores, John ' Booth’s - store, Keener’s Furniture, the Joy Theatre, and most recently, Newcomer's Hardware. But in their places are many new businesses serving the needs of local people. The Union National Bank made a sizeable addition to its facilities, and the old First National has merged until it is now part of National Cen- tral. Both have built new, up- to-date drive in windows. The two fire companies have kept updating their cquipment through the 16 years. Many, many lovely new homes have been built, and recently multiple-home dwell- ings have begun to dot the NEW BOOKS AT MOUNT JOY LIBRARY Woman with a gun Three minutes to midnight The occult explosion William’s Mary Seventeen of Leyden The boys of summer The case of the midwife toad The way we were Six came flying Squaw Point George Coxe Mildred Davis Nat Freeland Elizabeth Hamilton John James Roger Kahn Arthur Koestler Arthur Laurents Marquis MacSwiney R.

PAGE 16 WEDNESDAY, APRIL 12, 1972 Donegal Track Season Opens Although the team took a 96-54 defeat from Ephrata on Wednesday afternoon of last week, the Donegal high school track and field squad launch- ed its 1972 season on a prom- ising note. What the team may lack in necessary depth to win meets, it may possibly make up in outstanding individual per- formances in some half doz- en or more events. Three Indians accounted for eight first places against Eph- rata and a half dozen more chimed in with as many sec- ond and third places. One of the spots which ap- pears to be vulnerable for the Indians is in the relay ev- ents, which when not man- Emergency Medical Calls SUNDAY : AND SATURDAY AFTERNOON Dr. David Schlosser ned with considerable speed in at least one or two can hurt team scoring. Loss of all three relays—half mile, mile and two mile—can stack up points heavily against low man in a dual meet. Wednesday's big winners were Cliff Betty, Martin Heis- ey, and Larry Priester. T he first two claimed three blues each and the latter, two. Betty, pretty much as ex- pected, stepped the dashes in good early-season style, tak- ing the 100 in 10.3; the 220 in 23 flat and the quarter mile in 53.3. All were considered catisfactory for the first meet of the season. However, he had better times last year in later-season competition. Heisey, who made a big big showing a year ago, doing well in tournament competi- tion in the high jump, went well Wednesday, taking the high event at 60; the long jump at 20-21% and the triple at 39-3Y. The six foot winning leap last week is viewed only as a “starter” for 1972 for the lanky senior. Priester, a hurdle artist, stepped the lows in 16.3 and Indians Ope In a free - swinging game which saw 19 hits and 22 runs, Donegal’s baseball In- dians Tuesday afternoon, Ap- ril 11, won game number three of the new season, out- lasting Hempfield, 12 to 10.

Thursday was Sargen’s first start of the new year. But, he had lost nothing since the 71 season closed nearly a year ago. He went the full seven-in- ning route, allowing four hits. He walked only one and fan- ned seven. Although two of the hits he allowed went for doubles, he amply wiped them out as he tripled home the Indians’ final run. Donegal clipped two Comet hurlers for six blows, Scott Zeller claimed two — one a double. . the highs in 21.3 for a pair of satisfactory wins and good promise for coming weeks, Hoover claimed a second in the discus; Byle a third in the javelin; Tillman a second in the pole vault; Spangler a second in the high hurdles; Henry a third in the half mile and Collier a second in the grueling two-mile run. Wednesday afternoon the Indians were to have gone to Warwick and next Monday they will move to Garden Spot. All Donegal meets are stag- ed on the opposition’s home field. The Indians have no track facilities of their own. Norman Heisey, Cliff Betty and Larry Priester each won two events Monday as Done- gal participated in its second track and field meet of the season. But the Indians went down as a team, 113 to 37, to Cone- stoga Valley. Heisey went 6 ft. 3's inch- es in his specialty — high jump and 20 ft. 12 in, the long jump. In the triple jump — not his favorite — he claimed only a third place behind two C.V. thinlies. The winner went 40-814. Betty, husky dashman, low- ered his quarter-mile time to 51.7 for a first place but went 10.7 in the 100 —which still was good for a blue. Priester broke the tapes in his two. events, claiming the high hurdle honors at 16.6 and the lows at 22.4 both slightly off his time last week against Ephrata. Helmsteadter was good for a third in the shot and Till- man took second in the pole vault. Wednesday afternoon the Indians were slated to go to Warwick. Next Monday the schedule calls for a meet at Garden Spot and Wednesday a trip to Columbia.

Mobile Museum At Centerville The Pennsylvania Mobile Museum will visit the Center- ville campus of the Hempfield seventh and eighth graders of School District, Thursday and Friday, April 13-1, where the Centervilie Junior high school Also, the fourth grades of all the school district's six elementary facilities will visit the 19-ton exhibit unit. The tractor-trailer museum, housing displays currently based upon the theme, “The Skills of Man,” uses a 44-foot trailer as the exhibit area. Dioramas have been design- ed to trace the development of human skills from those of the Archaic Indian with his chipped stone tools, through husband and two husky, act- ive boys. In truth, it has been-a busy, eventful 16 years. With so much water having ‘passed under the bridge,” how is it that we don’t feel a bit older? Just wiser, perhaps. Albert and Schlosser, defeated N. Beck and Hess, 6-4, 6-4, JOINT BOARD MEETING On Monday evening, April 10, a joint board meeting of the Mount Joy Joycee-ettes was held at the home of past president, Gail Hawthorne.
