RE a RERANAATER Vol. 75 No. 40 October 15, 1975 Teacher Eugene Funk will bet $1 that he can beat anyone in the Bike Hike for Donegal. Whoever wins, the money will go to the DEA’s scholarship fund. The fund will help DHS grads go to trade schools and colleges. Teacher throws down challenge to students The Donegal Education Association is sponsoring a Bike Hike on Sunday after- noon, October 19, to raise money for D.H.S. students who need more training after graduation. The money will be used to help graduates pay for any kind of additional training in trade schools or colleges. Bike Hikes will be held at the Sportsman’s Farm, Wivell’s Lane and the Marietta War Memorial Park, from 1-S P.M. Bicyclists can sign up at Donegal Schools. Sponsors can contribute any amount. Eugene Funk, who teaches at Beahm Junior High, has issued a ¢*.c.lenge to all students. If any student can beat him in the Bike Hike, Mr. Funk will donate $1 to the scholarship fund in the student’s name. On the other hand, if the students lose, they will have to contribute $1 to the fund. DEA president Ted Greider hopes the ‘‘Bike Hike for Donegal’’ will get a lot of support. Lots of people have been taking an interest in the school district lately, Mr. Greider noted. Mr. Greider said, “If they’re sincerely interested in the school district as they claim they are, here is their chance to prove it. Let them put their money where their mouths are.” Democrats candidates FAS A ‘Meet Your (ar dates’’ rally will be held October 16 at the Mount Joy Borough Hall at 7:30 p.m. Attending the rally spon- sored by the Mount Joy Democratic Committee, will be Jean Mowery and Roger Dourte, candidates for County Commissioner.

Ten Cents Council weighs selling house to the Graybills At the meeting of the Mount Joy Borough Council Monday, a motion was made to extend the eviction date sent to Mrs. Elva Graybill and her son Gary to 90 days past January 1, the effective date of the first notice sent to the Graybills. Council also referred to their public works commit- tee the question of whether the Graybills could become owners of the residential property, now owned by the borough, under the Home- steader’s Act. These actions by Council on the house rented by the Graybiils came after a petition had been submitted by Glenn Weaver, signed by 96 per cent of residents approached, asking Council to rescind its eviction notice to the Graybills. A proposal for a commer- cial development at the Crossroads Church inter- section did not pass, be- cause of lack of a second to a motion. The proposed develop- ment by Witmer and McCoy was objected to by residents who feared water run-off from the development and who disliked having a mini-market nearby. A motion was passed to require landlords to register tenants, to facilitate collec- tion of the per capita tax. Warren Foley and Rich- ard Peifer were named to an ad hoc committee for the purpose of suggesting com- mittee appointments for next year. Mayor James Gingrich set October 30 from 6 to 10 p.m. for Trick or Treat night in Mount Joy. Mayor Ginghrich express- ed the hope that there would be all treats and no tricks. There should be sufficient treats, he said. Joanne Shaub shows the best of local crafts ‘““What is the difference between a craft and art?’’ we asked Joanne Shaub last week. “A craft is functional,”’ replied the the director of the new Century Crafts Gallery in Lancaster. Pro- ducts made by a craftsman are useful, like candlesticks or chairs. _ Talking to us in her home in Marietta, Joanne made clear, however, that the work of a craftsman be- comes art as it becomes beautiful. In the first exhibit which she has arranged for the Gallery at 11 W. King Street in Lancaster, Joanne has brought together the finest work of craftsmen in Lan- caster City and County — and is displaying it in the same way as fine art would be shown. to present to voters ¢ Toy Borough Council and for the Donegal School Board will be there. James M. Weaver, Depu- ty Secretary of Labor and Industry, will speak on behalf of Edmund B. Spaeth, Jr., candidate for Superior Court Judge. The public is invited to attend the rally. The Gallery, which will be open to the public for the first fime this Friday at noon, will contain the work of some local master crafts- men: Pennsylvania Rifles made by Charles Heistand of Marietta and Reaves Goehring of Columbia, a tin Queen Anne chandelier by Jerry Martin of Marietta, and a pedestal fountain by Alan Swanson of Mount Joy. Other craftsmen-artists whose work will be shown are: Hugo Fiora, potter; Paul Eshleman, wood- worker; Joseph Ledvina, silversmith; J. Thomas Stauffer, pewtersmith; R. W. Skinner and Walter Steely, furniture makers; Arthur Shoemaker, wood- carver; and Claudia Hopf, formerly of Mount Joy, Scherenschnitter. Joanne is planning later exhibits of folk crafts and work from a specific period like the 1920’s. She is also planning a folk symposium. An educational program will get underway following the current exhibit of the work of Lancaster's best contemporary craftsmen. Crafts will be taught to children and senior citizens. Instruction will also be provided for gifted crafts- men who are capable of becoming masters of their craft. Joanne hopes the Gallery will discover and encourage new talent in the crafts and will at the same time, increase public appreciation of their work. Joanne’s own interest in crafts goes back to when she was five years old and learned how to quilt, cro- chet, embroider, and crewel from her grandmother. She continues to practice all types of stitchery, makes clothes for herself and her family. While studying cultural anthropology she became fascinated by folklore and folk art. Last year she received an M.A. in Ameri- can Studies from Penn State. Art is a way of life for Joanne and her husband Jack, a painter. (See page 20 of the Sept. 17 issue of the Bulletin.)
