THE MOUNT JOY VOL. 74 NO. 15 It’s interesting, in light of the furor that the new Donegal running track is. causing, to mention that there is an outside possibility that the facility may be named for the late Clarence Schock. debe About 40 percent of the money needed to finance the track construction came as a gift from a project which Schock initiated many years ago. +++ But, what ‘we started to mention is that, despite the fact Schock played an in- fluential part in the com- munity for many years and his gifts to the community and schools were numerous, his name appears in public in only two places. +++ One is on the front of the Schock Presbyterian home on Main street, which he willed to (Continued on Page 8) Borough Council Postpones Meeting Because of Labor Day, the monthly public meeting of the Mount Joy Borough Council will be held one week later than usual.

BULLETIN MOUNT JOY'S ONLY NEWSPAPER BOBBY AND ROSE GIBBS, internationally-known elephant trainers, present one of the big acts with the Lewis Brothers circus, coming to Mount Joy on Friday, Sept. 6, with performances at 6 and 8 p.m., at the Borough Park. The circus is sponsored by the Mount Joy Rotary Club. Circus Popularity Part of Nostalgic Mood Just as there is no ex- plaining America’s taste in entertainment, there is, apparently, no explaining the mounting popularity of circuses! Some attribute the reviving interest in the circus to the nostalgic mood of the country as they look for good things of the past to bring meaning to their lives and to their country. The circus, always, has had universal appeal, from the time of the Romans to the present day. It is one form of entertainment that never has been censored but has been a family entertainment for Pop, Mom and all the kids and grandchildren. Cecil B. DeMille, famed Hollywood producer, said that ‘‘One need only to ob- serve a circus audience ... Nothing perhaps so much as the circus evokes a fun- damental simplicity in human nature. There is no age for a circus spectator. Boys of 7 to 70, young men with open shirts and sleeves rolled up, little boys and girls — all with the same rapt fascination, all caught up in the magic of the circus world of bands, clowns and aerialists.” Lewis Brothers circus is coming to Mount Joy, Friday, Sept. 6, sponsored by the Mount Joy Rotary club. Performances at the Borough Park will be at 6 and 8 p.m. NEW ARRIVALS Garry and Marilyn (Weolgemuth) Kline, 206 Marietta avenue, a son, Thursday, Aug. 29, at General hospital.

Donegal’s SEPTEMBER 3, MOUNT JOY, PENNA. 1974 TEN CENTS "14 Grid Year Opens Saturday Against Columbia When school starts, can football be far behind? Not at Donegal! The 1974-75 school year began on Wednesday. Football opens Saturday! And, the opposition is Columbia. The Tide will be at the Indians’ field for a 2 p.m. kickoff and the blastoff for what, hopefully will be an improvement upon a not-so- good 1973 season. This will be.Coach Gayne Deshler’s third season as head of the Indian crew and while he is not vibrating with expectancy of winning the Lancaster-Lebanon con- ference, he is optimistic. A year ago the club won only three games. But, Deshler will have considerable experience from '73 and a slightly heavier team to work with. The Tribe has been under intensive training and drills since late August when the PIAA lifted the summer prohibition against practices for all Commonwealth high school grid teams. One problem facing the Indians his season will be a lack of depth. Fewer than 30 boys have been working with Deshler and Assistants Gene (Continued on Page 8) High Distinction Given Local Man At PSU Graduation One Mount Joy resident, Donald M.
