MOUNT JOY'S ONLY NEWSPAPER
By R.A. R.
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

‘Ob This aud That’
by the editor's wife
The Christmas season
lasted longer than usual for
us this year!
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!
The recent glaze of ice on
tcp of the snow made it
perfect for ‘‘saucer’” sled-
ding, and fantastic speeds
were reported! We also
- heard of a young couple who
sledded down the big hill

Mount Joy Young Women Make Places
For Themselves On The Big Scenes
Two Mount Joy young women have
made a place for themselves on the
national and international scene!
Mrs. Abram (Betty) Groff has
established the Groff Farm Restaurant,
known all over this country, has also
written a cook book to be published in
early March or April, and will be traveling
extensively during the next six months to
promote it.
To be called, “Good Earth & Country
Cooking’, the book is a guide to the basics
of Lancaster County Cooking and is a
celebration of wholesome, natural food
prepared with the culinary skills and arts -
learned the old-fashioned way, in the
family kitchen. It discusses the traditions
found in Lancaster County cooking, the
people who settled here, and tells about
her family and the restaurant.
The six chapters are titled, “I Cook
Because I Like People,” ‘For Every Food
There is a Season,” “Food Makes
Friends,” ‘Memory Foods,” ‘‘Keeping
Foods” and “Wine Makes the Heart
Merry.”
The Groff Farm Restaurant, located on
Pinkerton Road, is well known to lovers of
fine food all over the country.

Three Indian Basketballers
Rheams Fire Co.
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

MOUNT JOY NAME ACROSS THE LAND
Gas Engine Hobbyist Magazine Tells
Of Local Summer Threshing ‘Happening’
Mount Joy - again - has
been mentioned coast-to-
coast!
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.
