The Commonwealth holds a tight leash on when traffic may be interrupted for par- ades. But, Police Chief J. Bruce Kline immediately took steps to obtain another permit for Saturday night, Nov. 5.

Playing a postponement from Saturday afternoon, the Tribe was edged, 7-6, by the defense minded Elso Rainers, who appear to be on their way to a high spot in the grid gtandings of the first year of the Lancaster-Lebanon league. Elco scored in the second period and converted with a placement to give the hosts a 7-0 lead at halftime. In the third, Donegal push- ed all the way from the Raid- ers’ 31, climaxed by a 12-yard pass from Buzz Yohe to Steve hopes of going ahead by one point. A pass was attempted by Yohe to Tucker again, but it failed. That was the ball game. The Raiders were tough on the defense, holding Donegal to only 96. yards on the ground. Saturday afternoon of this week, on the home field, the Indians will tackle Annville- Cleona, the second game of the season against a Leban- on county member of the Lan- caster - Lebanon League.

In the first place, the first dining room described in the book is the Central House, on north Market street; in the second place, the book is edit- ed by Rollin C. Steinmetz, of Mount Joy R2; and in the third place, the attractive co- ver is made from a lovely painting by his wife, Mrs. Gladys Steinmetz! Written in an interesting manner, the book describes 32 delightful places to eat, each with its own special charm. Eleven of them are in Lancaster County, with the other 21 located in Chester, York, Dauphin, Berks, Mont- gomery, bucks, Northampton and Monroe Counties. Places to visit include spots of inter- est in some of the same coun- ties.
