week in the Intelligencer
Journal about the late Les
Reinhart, whose paintings
are now on display at Pat
Abel’s Mack Brewery, 139
East Market Street, Mariet-
ta.
t+...a sure-handed
draughtsman and the pos-
sessor of an unerring eye for
color. These gifts made him
one of Lancaster’s foremost
artists.”
The show of Reinhart’s
work began Sunday after-
noon and will continue from
1 to 8p.m. daily and from 1

to Sp.m. next Sunday, for
the next week and a half.
Kinter further wrote a-
bout Reinhart:*‘...a master
of moods. Brilliant sunshine
lights numbers of his works,
but in others the mood is
wintry and dark.”
Artists Carol Anspach and
Pauline Stauffer have jointly
commented:*‘...there was
so much variety in his work.
“The early ones were
somber in color and more
formal, while the late ones
were gay, bold, and lively in
technique.
“The story is a fine
retrospective of his life. It

tells the story of a student
and master—one who stud-
ied all his life and experi-
mented and matured with
each period. He is both
serious and gay—he admir-
ed and was admired. Many
paintings caught a specific
mood, and his color is
always consistent.
*“‘Good design is evident
in his work. In some of his
student pieces the washes of
color are vague, but in his
mature years his technique
is expertly done. He design-
ed landscapes, human fig-
ures, and still life as easily
as a potter handles clay.”
flood of 1936?
These flood waters of
March 1936 were caused by
an ice jam on the Susque-
hanna. Fast melting snows
up-river caused drainage to
the extent of flood stage and
broke up the ice covering
the Susquehanna.
Marietta suffered the
second flood in 1936 when a
cloud burst in the Donegal
area caused the waters of
Evans Run to flood homes
on the neighboring banks
along its course. The July
3rd flash flood could not be
evaded since the bridges
over the ‘‘Run’’ were not
constructed to carry away
this amount of water. Since
that disaster the bridges
have been rebuilt and
designed to withstand a
greater volume of water.

First basketball camp at DHS held
Last week, when the
temperatures got into the
high 80’s, there was probab-
ly more concentrated bas-
ketball activity at Donegal
High School than ever
before.
Sweat shirts were soaked,
bare torsos gleaming as over
a hundred school basketball
players of all ages from all
over Lancaster County in-
tently dribbled, ran, passed,
faked, and shot at numerous
baskets in Donegal’s Gyms.
The occasion of all this
over-heated intense out-of-
season activity was the First
Lancaster Area Basketball
Camp to be held at Donegal
High School, organized and
directed by Donegal’s bas-
ketball coach, Emil Swift.
Swift, a former District III
champion who led Donegal
in a 10-4 season, had
brought together the best
basketball talent in the area
to instruct the eager junior
and senior high players.
A former Lancaster
County scoring champ, who
is now a collegiate star, but
whose name cannot be
revealed according to
N.C.A.A. rules, was there to
help with the shooting
clinic.
Others on the staff at the
camp were: John Clark,
former head coach of the
Pittsburgh Pipers of the
A.B.A.; Spencer Henry
former head coach of the
Cocalico Eagles, with one of
the best winning records in
Lancaster County Basketball
history; Grant ‘‘Tick”’
Hurst, a popular
official and Athletic Director
at McCaskey High School;
Lou Sorrentino, head coach
at Lebanon Valley College;
Don Smith, head coach at
Elizabethtown College; Ed
McTimoyle, head coach at
Lancaster Catholic High
School. In addition, there
were a number of college
basketball stars who were
county and District III
champions.
A typical schedule for the
camp, which ran Monday
thru Friday, was Tuesday's
which went:
9:00 to 11:55 - Stations
(players moving from one
instructor to another, each
instructor teaching foul
shooting, rebounding, ball
handling, defense, jump
shots, moves or back door,
etc.);
12:00 to 12:30 - lunch;
12:30 to 1:00 - Foul
shooting; 1:00 to 2:00 - Talk
by Lou Sorrentino; 2:30 to
3:30 - Team games.

Unemployment rises in our part of the county
Although unemployment
dropped in the nation, state,
and county as a whole from
March to April of this year -
it went up in our end of the
county.
In all of Lancaster County
claims for unemployment
insurance went down from
8183 to 7716 from March to
‘April.
But in the Columbia office
which serves the northwes-
tern section of the county,
claims increased from 1010
to 108S from March to April.
(in April, 1974; there were
only 214 claims at the
Columbia office.)
Many economic indicators
suggest that the worst of the
current recession is over,
and that business will begin
to pick up nationally.
Unemployment decreased
slightly in the nation and in
the state from March to
April, dropping from about
9.2 to 9.0 per cent in
Pennsylvania.
In Lancaster County un-
employment decreased from
around 7.4 to 7.2 per cent
from March to April
Lancaster County had the
lowest unemployment rate
in the state, second only to
Harrisburg, where many
people have secure positions
in the state government.
