Considerable has been
written about how many or
how few people voted in the
election last week.
++
Thus, it is interesting to
note that Mount Joy cannot
be classed with the
‘‘apathetic”’ of the nation or
the commonwealth.
+++
The East ward voted 61
percent of its registered
voters. The West ward saw
64 percent of its eligible
people turn out to cast
ballots.
+ ++
But, it was in Florin ward
that people trooped to exercise
their rights, privileges and their
duties. In that area — without a
local races of any kind to
stimulate interest — 74 percent
of those registered made an
Official appearance.
+++
That gives Mount Joy
borough a figure of 65%
percent participation. And,

Outside Burning Banned

announcement a ‘“‘much ado
But, in case the weather continues dry and the water
shortage in Mount Joy continues, it is prohibited by order of
the mayor, pro tem, to do outside burning within the borough.
Action to halt all fires was taken under Section 25 of
Chapter VII of Borough Ordinances by Acting Mayor Warren
Foley, president of council, acting in the absence of Mayor
James A. Gingrich, who is vacationing this week.
The ordinance gives the mayor power to prohibit, under
special situations, all bonfires and outdoor rubbish burning
when conditions make such burning hazardous.
Council earlier in the evening, had considered such a move
but declined the step by a vote of 7-2. But Mayor Pro Tem
Foley assumed the responsibility and issued the order.
Borough Takes Steps
For Park Improvement
Taking what ultimately
may be a $20,000 step toward
a $40,000 improvement at the
Borough park, Mount Joy
council Monday night moved
to ask the Commonwealth to
support a ‘‘Project 500”
program.
A 50-50 type project, the
state joins with the borough
to make improvements,
which, in this case, include
tennis courts and a parking
area.
Begun two or three years
ago, a detailed projection

People in Mount Joy take
Journeys to many in-
teresting places. They fly to
Hawaii, to Donegal, Ireland,
to Scotland, South America,
Alaska and other points
north, south, east and west.
But a few of us took a
different kind of a Journey
this week end. We didn’t
travel far, in space, but it
was a long way in time.
We took a Journey to the
Valley of Nostalgia.
Why did we go, and what
did we see there? Let us tell
you.
We went because we were
“looking for the roots of our
current culture,’”’ as the
author of a widely-read book
has so aptly put it.
And what we found there
was an infinite number of
reminders of days that are
past, with concrete proof
that they really did happen
and that they were not just
figments of our
imaginations!
Tucked away in the booths
of more than 400 antique
dealers of the eastern United
States at Renninger’s
Antique Market north of
Ephrata were dolls and
coaloil lights, nutmeg
graters and copper wash
boilers, earthenware crocks
and Sessions clocks, hand-
made quilts and coverlets,
old coins, stamps and
postcards, wooden tools and
tinware — plus ten thousand
other fascinating items we
don’t have room to
enumerate!
The broad aisles between
the booths were packed with

provements but recently the
state plainly said that one of
the first phases at the park
must be a parking lot. Any
state aid would depend, it
was reported, on the lot
being built either before: or
with the tennis court project.
As projected, Phase I at
the park may cost $40,000 but
$20,000 will come from the
state.

NAME MEMBERS OF CAST
Senior Class to Present “The Matchmaker”
The Senior class of Donegal high school
will present their annual play in the
high school auditorium on Friday and
Saturday nights, Nov. 22 and 23, at-8
o'clock. The production will be Thornton
Wilder's farce, ‘“The Matchmaker.”
The story of the play has been the sub-
ject of several theatrical productions in
the past; but each has been produced with
variations of the original work, “A Day
Well Spent,” by John Oxenford. The
original was produced in London,
England, in 1835. A second production was
by Johann Nestroy, in Vienna, Austria, in
1842, entitled, ‘‘Einen Jux will es sich
Machen.”
Wilder's version of the comedy, “The
Merchant of Yonkers,” was based upon
the original European productions and
was presented in Boston and New York in
1938.
The rewritten version, '*The Mat-
chmaker,” was produced in Edinburgh,
England, in 1954 and in Philadelphia, in
1955 and became a Broadway hit in 1955
under the direction of David Merrick.
Perhaps the most familiar production of
the work is the smash Broadway musical,
“HELLO, DOLLY,‘ and the movie by the
same name.
Headlining the non-musical production
at Donegal will be Leann Ellis as Mrs.
Dolly Levi and Gary Graybill as Horace
Vandergelder.
Other members of the cast are: Brian
Lesher, William Landis, Selisa Stauffer,
Michael Reidy, Jacqueline Howell,
Raymond Husband, Robert Shank, Carol
Henny, Helene Delkiewicz, Wayne Betty,
Newton Kendig, Mark Presnell, Michael,
McKercher, Van Huysen and Rose
Livelsberger.
Chairmen of the various committees
are: Judith Morton, business manager,
Odessa Mull, prompters; Frances Eno,
stage direction; Janice Brown; set; James
Gerberich, publicity; Mary Alice

Maureen Jones, seamstresses; Kristin
Gebhart and Brenda Eberly, ushers.
