MOUNT JOY'S ONLY NEWSPAPER
MOUNT JOY, PENNA.
OCTOBER 30, 1974
TEN CENTS
Last week the Bulletin
published a large-sized photo
of K.T. Keller taken on the
day, nearly 30 years ago,
when he was honored by
Mount Joy.
Sb
In the photo were many
school children and we
wondered out loud who they
are. It didn’t take long for
John Day III to call to
identify a gang of boys who,
at the time, were about
juniors in Mount Joy high
school. They included
Donald Martin, Ben Brown,
Gerald Wilson (Sr.), John
Miller, George McCue,
Butch Kramer, Leroy
Harple, Charles Drace and
others.
+++
These are the fellows who
first brought outstanding
basketball honors to the
community.

Indians Nosed
Out By
Solanco
In Fourth, 24-23
Donegal’s Indians were
victims of a ‘‘death bed”
effort Saturday at Solanco
and took a 24-23 squeeze-out
defeat!
At the half the Tribe was in
good shape with a 16-16 tie.
In the third they moved
ahead 23-16, and until the
final two minutes looked like
winners.
However, a 14-yard run put
the Mules in a ‘“‘win, lose or
tie’’ position.
Gambling for a win on a
center-eligible play for the
two-point conversion, the
hosts went into the 24-23 lead
to finish the game.
The Indians worked the air
ways for five of 15 attempts
and 138 yards. Randy
Richards tossed 12 for 81

Buzzards glided in the
blue, blue sky. A crow called
from a tree top. To the south
and to the north stretched
mountain ranges that looked
endless. The bright, warm
October sunshine turned the
autumn foliage on the
rugged hillsides into
blankets of burnished gold,
copper and ‘maroon. No
human being was visible for
as far as the eye could see.
It was mid-morning on the
Skyline Drive in Virginia's
Shenandoah National Park.
From our vantage point on
one of the many ‘‘overlooks”
in the park we could see only
trees, a glimpse of the
winding Shenandoah River
far below, and in: the
distance the white spire of a
. tiny church in the valley.
What peace! What solitude!
What magnificent beauty!
We drove 65 of the 105
miles of the fabulous Sky
Line Drive. Not always were
we so alone. At most of the
overlooks, two or three cars
would be parked, and people
like us would be drinking in
the loveliness of the
panorama spread out below.
They were very young
people, middle-aged, and
old. There were families;
“loners’”’. All
as
there were
were very quiet,
silenced by the majesty of
the views.

Chiques Church To Observe
15th Anniversary Sunday, Nov. 3
On Sunday, Nov. 3, at 10:30
a.m. the Chiques United
Methodist church will ob-
serve its 15th birthday. Rev.
Menno E. Good, who was the
minister when the church
was built, will be the guest
preacher.
Rev. Good is a graduate of
Lycoming college and
Garrett Biblical Institute.
Having served the Chiques
U.M. Church for 10 years, he
now is minister of the St.
Mathew’s U.M. Church,
Valley Forge, where he has
served for more than six
years.
Rev. Woodrow W. Kern is
the present minister of the
church, and in his fifth year
at the church. He was
preceded by Rev. Charles D.
Whittaker, who served two
years.
The cornerstone of the
present church was laid on
June 7, 1959. The Service was
led by Rev. J. Vincent
Watchorn, then District
Superintendent.
The parsonage was
dedicated on Sept. 27. On
Nov. 10, 1959, Bishop Fred
Pierce Corson consecrated
the new church.
The Chiques U.M. Church
1s the union of the Mount Joy
and Salunga Methodist
churches. In 1867 the two-
story brick church was built
in Mount Joy. The Sanctuary
was not completed until 1881.
The Salunga Methodist
church was completed on
May 9, 1889. This
congregation began in the
large John F. Peifer family
farm house, Salunga. Mr.
Peifer donated the site for
the Salunga Church. Stone
from his quarry was used for
the foundation. Carpenters
donated several days of free
labor, and the church
became a reality.
In 1892 the Pennsylvania
Railroad planned to
relocated its line so that the
tracks would have gone
down the middle aisle of the
church and through the
pulpit. Hence in 1893, the
Penns. R.R. Co. ac-
complished the difficult task
of moving the church to its
present location.
Some of the ministers who
served the Mount Joy,
Salunga Churches were:
Robert H. Comly, C. Lyle
Thomas, W. Frank Car-
penter, Earl R. Thomas,
William W. Spiegelhalder,
John S. Hinkel, Charles A.
Price, James F. Mort,
Robert C. Pike, William E.
Harner, George K. Ludwig,
Menno E. Good, Charles D.
Whittaker, Woodrow W.
Kern.
Presently, the goal of the
Chiques United Methodist
Church is to pay the present
debt. Included in some
future planning are a new
organ; church steeple;
enlarge the picnic area;
steps leading from
Fellowship Hall to the
