TEN CENTS Donegal Boys & Girls Win 40% Of All Honors Given At County Science Fair As is usually the case, each year, Donegal boys and girls again walked away from the annual Lancaster County Science Fair with more than their share of the honors! There were 79 recongitions made last week at the Country Day School, where the Fair was held, and Donegal claimed 32 of them — or 40 percent. Top winner for Donegal district was Lynn Weaver, a senior, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Weaver, 277 W. Walnut street, Marietta. She proved, scientifically, what the bums who sleep on park benches have suspected for a Well Drilling Rig Moved To New Site A well drilling rig which has been located along Union School road and which has caused a storm of mixed reactions is gone! The outfit, owned by a Harrisburg company, has been moved to a spot west of town and erected again on land owned by Abner Wolgemuth in his Oak Lane development. Drilling attempts are being made by the Mount Joy Borough Authority, which is seeking a new source of water for the local municipal system. Although both locations — Union School road and the Wolgemuth development — are in East Donegal township, the first spot ran into ‘neighbor’ trouble and drilling operations were stopped just short of putting a drill bit into the ground. At the new site, in an open field selected by a geologist who believes that it is well situated to bring in a high-production well, there have been no objections and all parties concerned have given permission to drill. Permission to drill, however, (Continued on Page 9) long long time — that newspapers are cheap (and good) insulators. But, it was Lynn — not the bums — who won a third place in the big 1973 competition! She layered newspapers and aluminum foil in five laminations and showed that some of the commercial insulations come off rather poorly by comparison in price and effectiveness. She called her project, “A New Insulator: Economically and Ecologically Effective.” The project also won Lynn a second place from the Penn- sylvania Society of Professional Engineers; a first U.S. Navy Award and an award from the Society of American Value Engineers. In the chemistry division of the Fair, Donegal swept the field, taking first, second, and third and two honorable mention placements. Sharon Steckbeck took first with a study into the precipitation of certain chemicals from other chemicals. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H.L. Steckbeck, 204 N. Barbara street. Second place went to Elaine Pennell, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Pennell, 247 Marietta street; third to Nancy Jo Greenawalt, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Warren H. Greenawalt, and honorable mentions to Sylvia Howry and Sharon Zimmerman. Sharon Steckbeck’s win also gave her a U.S. Army Award in chemistry and a first place Chemical Soceity Award. Elaine’s second gave her, ad- ditionally, a third Civil Defense Award and a chemistry honor from the Air Force.
