It’s hard to find anyone who firmly believes that the ‘“new’’ Time” is anything. truly saving Actually, it is an an- noyance, a problem for many people and probably a very definite safety hazard to youngsters who must go to school before daylight. It’s a simple fast that you cannot stretch the daylight when there is just so much of itavailable. And - during this portion of the year there just is not enough to go around. Someone expressed the fact by saying that “you cannot make a blanket longer by cutting off the top and sewing it onto the bot- tom.” During the “long” daylight days of the year, there possibly will be some kind of advantage. But it will be March 24 until the sun rises — before 7 a.m. The days, this week, are only 10 hours and a few minutes - 1 to 10 - and is not sufficient to give elbow room for man-made ex- perimentation with the time (Continued on Page 8) Daylight Saving - — JAY KOPP Jay Kopp is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Roy G.

It began on the first day of December, with a festive party at Historic Strasburg. It continued with Christmas, programs at The Cloisters and Landis Valley, and in- cluded many happy family gatherings, impressive church services, dozens of crackling fires in the fireplace, lots of fruit cake and cookies, carols and candlelight. The season was climaxed on Jan. 12 with the marriage of our youngest daughter. This, too, was a joyous and fitting occasion, uniting as it did two young people who have pledged their lives to the service of the One whose Birthday we had so recently celebrated. So, Christmas, 1973, has passed into history. But the joys and the fine new son-in- law which it brought us will be cherished for many years to come. Snowmobilers have been having a ‘field day’’! Last winter snowmobilers and sled enthusiasts found the dedrth of snow quite discouraging. But this winter is a different story! Many fields are criss- crossed ‘with patterns of snowmobile tracks, and every little hill has its sled path and the imprint of hundreds of boots going back up the hill!

Elects Officers Break 100 Points Thus Far Three Donegal Indians, as of the first of this week, had broken 100 points during the present basketball cam- paign, which is now just past the half-way mark. The trio, in fact, has been responsible for counting nearly 48 percent of the 700 points which the club has been able to amass in the 12 games played prior to Tuesday night. But, during that time, not one single game was a team victory. The three leading point getters include Jack Det- tinger, a 5-9 junior (116); Dave Schlosser (112) and Nat Bridgette (106). ~ Next best for the season is Kevin Miller, who has counted 98. The four men have scored nearly 62 per- cent of the Donegal total, thus far. Last week the Indians dropped a pair of road games - at Manheim Central, 75-68, and at Annville- Cleona, 70-64. Central jumped to a 22-16 lead in the first quarter and was never headed. In the final frame the Barons walloped the nets for 20 points while Donegal managed only eight. Dave Schlosser’s 13 on six fielders and a free toss was best for the Indians. Central's J.V.’s took the (Continued on Page 8) For Year 1974 Robert B.

In the January-February issue of “The Gas Engine Magazine’’, published for national circulation to _ hobbyists, a Mount Joy ‘happening’ of July 14, 1973, was described. Complete with pictures which appeared originally in The Bulletin, the two-page spread told of a threshing- day experience at the Jay Stauffer farm, just west of Becker’s gas station. The day of old-time threshing featured an aging John Deere tractor driving an even older wheat separator. And, it is the gasoline tractor, which caught the fancy of the magazine editor. All types of gasoline fueled engines, from small one- ° horse jobs to huge outfits | designed from very heavy work are part of the hobby. Strange and different uses of gasoline motors fascinate the hobby buffs, whose in- terest, judging from hints - taken from the magazine stretch from New Hamp- shire across practically every state in the_ Union, right on to Texas and up to Washington and Oregon.
