We call this column “Main Street.” Maybe some people are ready to say, “You should call it Marietta street.” ® © .¢ Anyway, we continue to have people stop us and say that they agree with our stand about which side of the street should be “no parking”. ® Oo o Those people who use Mar- ket, Poplar or Pinkerton Rd. to get out on Marietta are more likely to say a big “thank you” for bringing up the problem. ®e © o Borough Councilmen dis- cussed the matter at their Oc- tober meeting but took no ac- tion. ® ° ® At least one councilman who does not live in that area took the trouble to drive through the situation and to notice how difficult it is. He characterized the problem by saying, “Its tough.” 9 ® ® One resident admitted that he has a standing order at his house that no one is to use these corners, even if they must follow another route be- tween home and town. ®e eo e@ Over the weeks, George McGovern has swept the field clean. People who have indi- cated that they are not inter- ested in him as their choice for the presidency have been characterized by the candidate as “nutty”, “mentally ill”, “lousy”, mixed up” — to use just a few quotes, ®e © @o Just for the record, we have any number of Democra- tic dfriends—some of whom, we suppose, probably will not vote for McGovern. ‘But, they aren’t automatically ‘lousy’, “nutty”, “mixed up” or men- tally ill.” ®e © » The truth of the matter is, most Democrats around these days would rather hear about something else—anything else than the 1972 political cam- paign. This time of the year _ this year Halloween is a more acceptable topic of conversa- tion. ® © © Last week we mentioned that a Stager coverlet, made in Mount Joy many years ago was to go up for sale at pub- lic auction at McAlisterville. ® ® ® The coverlet did sell and it almost came back to Mt. Joy. e © & But, the local bidder drop- ped out near the end and the final price was $220. ee © o The Stager and Son shop was located off Main street back of the former Krall Meat Market.

Indians Slay Bears At halftime, with the score 7 to 6, it might have looked as if Elizabethtown had a chance. But, in the fourth quarter Donegal’s host football Indians exploded three touchdowns and went to a big 28 to 6 vic- tory over the Bears. It was a b’g, ego-polishing victory, despite the fact Eliza- bethtown has won only two games thus far this season. — — co Zerpheys to Mark Anniversary Mr. and Mrs. Elmer L.

The Indians romped to 254 yards of gain by rushing and just short of 100 via the aerial route. Neither team could generate much steam in the first period but both finally pushed across TD’s in the second. Late in the second, Eliza- bethtown intercepted a pass at about the 35 and scored, but missed the placement try for extra point. The Bears’ lead was the spark the Indians needed. They took the kickoff and moved straight and steadily to the Bears’ 30. There Buzz Yohe lofted a pass to Randy Richards in the end zone. Dick Ryder kicked for the added point to end the first half—Donegal 7, E-town 6. The third period again, was a scoreless quarter for both teams.
