Page 16 — SUSQUEHANNA BULLETIN St, Mark's people loading canned goods Sunday. St. Mark’s people load truck Fifty-three men and wo- men from St. Mark’s United Methodist Church went to an Amish farm near Inter- course last Saturday and de- sprouted ten tons of pota- toes. The potatoes were then loaded onto a tractor trailer truck. The St. Mark’s people also loaded 700 pounds of flour onto the truck. On Sunday after church services they loaded 83 cases of canned goods. Why all this processing and loading of food by the good people of St. Mark’s? The truck, fully loaded, will take all the food to the South Side Center in Phila- delphia, a Methodist Miss- ion, which has been out of food supplies since the first of the year. At the Mission the food will be distributed to needy people in South Philadel-' phia.

VD facts, treatment for students by Sadie P. Brooks, Head School Nurse Donegal Schools Among the diseases which have plagued mankind the longest, are those which are classed as the Veneral Dis- eases. Perhaps several rea- sons for the difficulty in controlling the spread of these diseases is the nega- tive social overtones attach- ed to the disease and the reluctance of those persons who have been infected to report their source of con- tact and to seek treatment. Add to these reasons, lack of knowledge, general a- pathy and concern, and the increase of infection ispartly understood. Within the past few years, the rise in incidence of these diseases has been alarming - especially so, since more and more young teenagers are becoming victims. A great many of these young people are unaware of the fact that they are infected with a serious disease and and are ignorant of the mode of transmission. The State Department of Health has reported an increase of some 240% in the last five years in the Commonwealth. On the basis of these statis- tics we can assume - Donegal students could be infected. Is it your son or daughter? One of the classic aims of the public school system is to help prepare its child-. ren for living with a “‘sound mind in a sound body.” Since V.D. is very much a “fact of life” even in our communities, we feel it is our duty to give our stu- dents facts about V.D.: What it is, how it is con- tracted, and where to seek help if exposed. A representative of the Pennsylvania Department of Health will be in the Done- gal Schools the week of May 5 to explain this pro- blem to our students and will be available to answer questions and give assistance to those seeking diagnosis and/or treatment. He will meet with all junior and senior high school health classes and be available for conference at other times. Parents as well as other interested community per- sons are invited to attend these classes. The Norlanco Medical Center personnel will be assisting in our effort to combat this disease the week of May 12. A Veneral Dis- ease Screening Clinic will be held there that week. Stu- dents of the surrounding community may go there to request a diagnostic test. The Medical Center person- nel have assured the school that every effort will be made to assist those coming to the clinic and to insure the confidentiality of these contacts/ visits. For further information call either your school nurse or the Norlanco Medical Center. DONEGAL HIGH SCHOOL (Mrs.) Sadie P. Brooks, Head School Nurse Donald W. Drenner, Prinicpal April 23, 1975 Mayor Gingrich reports A few months have pass- ed since I last reported to the citizens. Following is a police re- port of the progress for 1974. During 1974 our po- lice department answered 1,968 calls that went thru county control. This does not include calls that were given to the Borough Of- fice and directly to the De- partment. We had investi gated 106 vehicle accidents with a total estimated dam- age of $70,025.00. We had 588 motor violations and 111 criminal arrests. We issued 31 curfew violations for which three were prose- cuted. These are just some problems that our police department handles. I feel that this information should give you an idea of what the | Department is doing. Our police phone number is 653-1457. With vacations coming up I would like to urge each citizen to consider the fol- lowing information to help make your vacation a happy one. 1. Make sure all doors and windows are locked. 2. Give a key to a neighbor or relative to check your home, once a day. 3. Use a timing device to turn on lights in different parts of the house at different times of the night. 4. Stop mail and newspapers for the time you will be away. 5. Con- tact your local police de- partment and tell them when you will be on vacation. They will check your house daily. By following these suggestions you will be able to leave with a minimum amount of worry, and enjoy your long awaited vacation. One other point that I would like to make is that the Borough Council has designated April as Fix-Up, Clean-Up month. [1 urge all of you to try and do your part to make Mount Joy a clean and neat place to live. I will be in the Borough Office Friday, April 25, from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. to hear any complaints or problems (or praise) that you may have regarding the borough. - Mayor James A.

Students were al- lowed to choose which skill they wanted to learn, and each Wednesday they pursue these occupations. The braiders are making chair covers, the knitters colorful slippers; the wea- vers are making yarn belts on looms crafted by Done- gal Shop students; girls doing embroidery are learning a variety of stitches on the cloth designed by their in- structor; pot holders are the goal of the crocheters. The six weeks program proved interesting to those students participating, and their in- structor hopes the new skills will stay with them, to keep ~ early handwork alive. for retarded Riders near the Vo- Tech School at Mount Joy HN Ca Aa Abd ah mb (NY "8 by DD Pe oh ba
