ANGELA VISITS MOUNT JOY, SEES AMERICA
Blonde, blue-eyed and very pretty, Angela has come to
spend six weeks in Mount Joy!
As an “ambassador” of friendship and culture, sponsored
by the Mount Joy Rotary Club, Angela Rostial comes from
Western Germany and will be in the community until the end
of August.
During her stay, she will live in the home of several dif-
ferent Rotarians and their families, soaking up the American
“way-of -life.”’
She was met in Washington, D.C. by the Andy Reymer
family and has been in their home for nearly two weeks.
Thursday she goes to the G. Walter Sloan home.
In the meantime, she is forming some very definite im-
pressions of America and of Mount Joy.
She liked all of Washington but liked nothing in New York,
where her plane landed from Brussels. On the other hand,
Mount Joy is small. She refers to the borough as a village, for
her home town of Salzgettei is 100,000 people.
With a sparkly personality, a quick smile and feminine eye,
Angela made two quick additions to her wardrobe after she
arrived in this. country. Like any 21-year-old, she instantly
saw that others of her age appeared in sandals and shorts.
She had brought a pair of corduroy slacks which would
have been appropriate at home, where it is not so warm.
But, dressed in a becoming blue dress, she spoke unusually
good English as she talked to a Bulletin reported and twirled
the ends of her ‘‘pig-tail” hairdo. But, she explained, at home
she would wear her hair long. (Her hair hasn’t been cut since
she was 13).
But, on hair styles, she volunteered that at home older
women do wear shorted styles than the younger. But, she
twinkled, ““I’ll never cut mine.”
Coming to the United States would seem, talking with
Angela, to be wonderful experience. But, getting Cr the
necessary money was not all easy.
She has financed her adventure into Americanism by
saving more than $400 from a job working in an iron and steel
factory.
Her father, Gottfried, teaches math and science in a
technical school. Angela, on her part, has not made a choice
for the future. She has attend school 13 years, plus a year in
college, where she studied English, art and education.
Some specific impressions —
— Things here are expensive.
— Park City is fun.
— Corn on the cob is a new taste treat.
— ““‘Shipped’’ tomatoes are good but home grown are much
better.
— The word “‘spritz” may be Pennsylvania Dutch to
Lancastrians but it means nothing to Angela.
— Funerals here are different.
— There are so many appliances in the homes.
—“You people seem to all talk so fast.”
Angela has studied English in school for 10 years and ac-
tually handles what might otherwise be a communications
barrier very nicely. ‘The idioms,” she explained, “give the
most trouble.”
Angela will leave Mount Joy August 31 and will then have
about two weeks of ‘free’ time to explore America or to do
whatever she pleases before leaving New York about mid
September.
She has purchased a continuous travel bus ticket and plans
to see Florida and New Orleans. Why that part of America?
She likes to swim and she wants to see the beaches.
An avid movie fan, she likes American films (but not

pass.

One must look fast to keep
up with the activities of Gene
Garber these days. This
area’s current professional
baseball player, he has been
this season with Kansas City,
one of its farm clubs and
with Toledo. But now, he’s
wearing the uniform of the
Philadelphia Phillies.
+++
Local fans are watching
for him to appear in the
lineup and are pulling for
him. During his short stay at
Toledo, he was the starting
pitcher three times and
twice was a winner, posting
an impressive 0.82 earned:
run average.
ope
With Philadelphia in the
midst of its biggest burst of
power in many years,
Garber, who proved at
Kansas City that he can
come out of the bullpen with
solid pitching, may get the
best chance of his career to
show his stuff on a ‘“Yes, we
can ”’ basis.

A ‘‘Stuffed Animal Show’

all kinds for all ages — nok

‘Ob This aud That’
by the editor’s wife
A bit of the old:
John Reist of Exton, Pa.,
who was visiting in Mount
Joy last week, brought to the
Bulletin office a snapshot of
the old Mount Joy School,
taken about 1907. (It stood
where Memorial Park is
now, and burned about 20
years ago.)
It’s a nice, clear picture,
and shows the clock tower
quite plainly. There is a.
picket fence around a part of
the school yard, probably a
playground area. A number
of trees are on the lawn, but
they are bare. It is obviously
a winter scene.
Aecompanying the school
picture is a snapshot of five
young people, probably high
school students. But they are
nameless! Their clothes are
quaint and early 1900-ish.

per Surface’ Applied
To Donegal High's New Track
Donegal high school’s new running track is completed!
Or rather; it may be nearly completed.
Saturday, a very important and critical part of the total job was done. That part is vital to
the athletic performances which will be featured in the $100,000 track.
That vital part is the third
layer of surfacing of the
quarter-mile track and of the
runways and jumping pits in
the infield.
The importance of the
surface, its installation and
its mixture is emphasized by
the fact that now that the
“super surface” is laid, a
number of tests are to be
run. If, for instance, it is
found that ‘‘spike wounds’’

imprinted into the surface
“heal” correctly, the surface
laid Saturday will be final.
If, however, everything is
not exactly as expected, a
fourth coat — of green color
— may be added.
The part which is so
is the resilient
surface which is made of a
special kind of asphalt
mixture, and is rolled onto
the top of two other

So special is the final coat
that it was necessary that
the material be mixed under
unusual circumstances.
Because it is very different
from ordinary macadam, it
was necessary that the
supplying company shut
down its normal flow of work
and make certain changes in
operation.
To do that, it. became
necessary that the Donegal
job be done on a Saturday
when the usual flow of work
at the mix plant would be
uninterrupted.
After being : applied and
rolled, it was vital that there
be no traffic — either by foot
or machine — on the new
surface. Thus, the actual
laying of the material was a
delicate job and im-

was finished, sections of
