Joy Rotary club as its 10th presi- dent, in 1935-36, and contin- ued to serve the organization, later as president of the Lan- caster Rotary club and as dis- trict governor, in 1967-68.

Pequea Valley, with strong second and third periods, did the pushing and won, 44 - 41. Now, instead of Donegal, Lampeter-Strasburg and Man- heim Central leading the L-L loop, it’s Lampeter-Strasburg and Manheim, both with 3 wins against no losses. The tribe stands 2 - 1.

In the JV game, scored a 41 - 35 win.

On Tues- day, Jan. 2, it’s back to the loop competition at Cocalico. Donegal FLEXIBILITY Any person who endeavors periodically to take an honest lock at himself, finds it bene- ficial, but often painful. “Who am I? What do I others? What are my real val- ues?’ These are difficult questions to answer, but try- ing to answer them keeps the mind flexible, Increased abili- ty for living the full life is al- ways at hand when we are willing to change our mind, eradicate obsolete attitudes, and rid ourself of anything that hampers the growing pro- cess. When we practice being flexible, we grow! windows are sizeable red vel- vet shadow boxes, each one depicting a Christmas scene, Hanging above are little swings, suspended from the ceilng by gold cords or chains. On each sits a soft cuddly stuffed animal-—such friends of the children as Win- nie the Pooh, Snoopy and sev- eral others, “You should see the child- ren’s eyes when they spy all their friends swinging up there!” one of the tellers told us. What he didn't say was that a lot of us grownups are pret- ty wide-eyed, too. It is all very colorful, Christmas-y, and interesting! ¥ * * Another very touching — and somewhat nostalgic — Christmas display is in the windows and the big front door at the Henry G. Carpen- ter home, 5 Delta street. Each little scene is in a beautiful white shadow box complete with “snow”, frosted “trees”, and twinkling minia- ture lights, One window shows the wise men following the star, the next one, the manger scene with the shep- herds standing by. Behind the glass panes of the big Main Street front door stands a tall Christmas tree, decorated with objects of a bygone day — old-fashioned tinsel, little metallic horns, pictures and canes. Beneath it are beautiful old dolls with china heads, a farm scene, and other toys of long ago. It has a charm and enchantment all its own. Along the Delta street side, one window depicts an ice skating party, with dozens of little figures only an inch tall, carved of wood, and very col- orful. (A mirror is the frozen “lake”.) Another window of similar little figures shows Santa Claus, Mrs. Claus and the elves at the North Pole getting ready for Christmas Eve. The final window is an- other manger scene, larger and more elaborate, with a rough stable sheltering Mary, Joseph and the baby Jesus, with the shepherds and wise men paying homage. The fig- ures are all beautifully done, and the tone is reverent. In addition to the little win- ¢ dow scenes, a Christmas tree with miniature twinkling lights stands on the porch, and behind it, the lighted conserv- atory with its many luxuriant plants forms a beautiful back- ground.
