It’s a good bet that within
the not-too-distant future,
there are going to be more
curbs along Mount Joy
streets in the Florin area.
++
And, one of the first pieces
of property involved may
well be the Florin park, at
the fire house.

Lines and grades for
properties in that area
already are being
established.

Daylight saving time is
‘“‘due’’ to ‘‘go off’ at 2a.m. on
Sunday, Oct. 27.

Even if is doesn’t, the
Donegal schools will adjust
their beginning and closing
times a half hour te take the
best advantage of whatever
daylight there is available at
the best times of the day.

If you are making plans for
Thanksgiving, keep in mind — if
you have high school band people
in the family — that Donegal will
put its Green and White mar-
ching musicians in the Gimbel’s
Parade on Turkey Day in
Philadelphia.

And — that’s November 28.

We've heard of some
families which have
scheduled their
Thanksgiving feast, in other
years, as an evening event,
just to accommodate some
band member.

Donegal Indians
Close: Miss
Donegal’s Indians came
close Saturday at Cocalico
but missed by a touchdown
conversion.
Late in the fourth quarter,
Donegal came from behind
and with a touchdown
earned from a 72-yard drive,
pulled to within one point —
14-13.
There was an immediate
decision to be made. Try for
a two-point PAT and a one-
point victory, or try for a
one-pointer and a tie score?
The Tribe went for broke
and a pass play failed,
leaving the Indians near but
losers.
It was defeat number four
of the season. A win could

Rail splitting must not be a
lost art!
We thought it might have
disappeared with Abraham
Lincoln and others of his era,
but it seems to be ‘‘alive and
doing well,” if we may judge
by the beautiful rail fences
we saw this past week end.
We took a long drive
through the mountains of
Virginia and West Virginia
while visiting with our
daughter and her husband in
Harrisonburg, Va. We saw
not one, but many homes
with long sections of rail
fence around yards, barn-
lots and fields. They are in
excellent repair, leading us
to think that it couldn’t have
been built too long ago. The
sight was extremely pic-
turesque!
There was an occasional
picket fence, too, around the
little mountain cabins,
something we had not seen
for many years.
The fall leaves were not at
their peak in the southern
mountains, but there was
lots of color in the oaks,
sumac, maples and others.
One of the prettiest places
we saw was a broad Valley
between Staunton and
Harrisonburg, full of huge
farmhouses, surrounded by
verdant pastures full of fat
hereford and angus cattle.

have put the record at 2 and
3.
Cocalico scored in the first
period, Donegal came back
to tie the game in the second.
The third went scoreless
and the fourth Cocalico
tallied seven points to take
the lead.
Al Brooks, who had a fine
day on the field Saturday,
carried over in the fourth
from the two after the
Indians put together their
long drive. Randy Richards
had carried in the first
Donegal TD from the 56 on a
pitchout from Kevin
Bradley.
As compared to previous
games, Donegal chewed up
the yardage Saturday,
racking up 204 from rushing.
Richards carried 10 times
for 120 yards and Brooks
tried 14 for 79.
Jeff Ruhl played a good
game on defense, making 11
tackles and assisting four
times. For his effort, he won
the defensive ‘‘head Hunter’
award of the week. Brooks
had six tackles and five
assists. Others looking good
on defense were Mark
Presnell, Bob Bishop and
John Haines.
A week earlier, the Indians
soaked up a 34-0 defeat as
Elco came to the Donegal
field.
It was a 0-0 tie at the half
but in the third, Elco pushed
in two TD’s and in the fourth
three more.
Donegal had only five first
downs as Elco racked up 236

TEN CENTS
This is Fire Prevention
week — Oct. 7 to 13 — and
Friendship Fire Company
No. 1 is observing the oc-
casion with a three-point
program.
1. - Housing of a beautiful
new Hahn pumper.
2. - An Open House.
3. - Dedication of the 1949
‘Keller’ Dodge pumper to the
Lancaster County
Firemen’s association.
The Open House at the
company’s headquarters on
north Market street will be
open to the public from 10
a.m. until 4 p.m. and firemen
will be in attendance.
At. 2 p.m. that day, the
Housing ceremony will be
held for the 1974 Hahn
Custom Pumper, which was
delivered recently after
being on order for more than
a year.
Equipped and ready to
roll, it represents an in-
vestment by the company
and by the community of
$50,000. However, not one
cent, Chief Frank Good Jr.
said this week, came from
tax funds.
Chief Good emphasized
that he voices the feeling of
the entire membership when
he says that Friendship Fire
company greatly ap-
preciates the support and
confidence that the public of
Mount Joy has given it as it
strives to upgrade the
equipment and the ef-
fectiveness of the fire
fighting organization.
The company by its many
money-raising efforts and by
the generosity of the public
has been able to meet most
of the purchase price. A bank
loan has completed the
transaction.
At the same ceremony, the
‘Keller’ truck, which was
given to the community by
the late K.T. Keller as a gift
to the town in which he grew
