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.”

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.) With their son
Matthew they live at Union
Gallery, 220 West Front
Street, Marietta.
