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,

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.
Donegal grabbed a first and
second and an honorable mention
