of burglaries and vandalism
has been solved. An esti-

recovered.
Shown at left with some
recovered property are,

erts, Mount Joy; and Sgt.
Steve Englert, Marietta.
Other officers aiding in the
successful investigation
were Frank Aument, Mount
Joy; Jay Roberts, Melvin
Aldinger, and Ken Barning-
er, Marietta.
Armed with a search
warrant, officers went to a
home on East Market Street
in Marietta, where items
taken in burglaries at
Donegal High School were
recovered.
From there they went to a
second home where the
major portion of the recov-
ered items were found.
These items were from
Riverview Elementary and
Beahm Junior High School.
Two 17-year-old juveniles
will be charged with the
series of burglaries, at-
tempted arson and criminal
mischief.
A last look at Mt. Joy’s rr. station
pa
Demolition of the old Mount Joy Pennsylvania Railroad Station was scheduled to get
underway this past Monday morning.
The station, which has not been used for many years, and its surrounding grounds were
purchased last spring by the Church of God in Mount Joy for use as a parking lot. The area
occupied by the station will add to the existing parking lot.

Paulette Archer's home is a dark, cozy, private world. It’s not designed to please anyone
but herself.
Paulette worked hard to make the house exactly what she wanted it to be. With the
occasional help of two fifteen year old boys she ripped out the existing staircase and built a
new one, constructed new window mouldings, built doorways, hung doors, patched the
plaster and built a lot of furniture. Photo shows Paulette in her kitchen.

Tom Spangler’s new Marietta apartment is built into the
attic of an old warehouse.
“‘I wanted it to be earthy,’”’ says Tom. ‘““There’s no real
theme to it.”’
To keep the appearance of the apartment down to earth,
Tom used only one coat of paint of the ceiling boards,
which surprised the carpenter who was helping Tom fix the
place up.
The attic was filled to the rooftree with old junk when
Tom began rehabilitating the place. He solvage some
barrels to make furniture, and used a Zink's Cigar Store
sign to decorate a wall.
The apartment is paneled with rough-cut spruce and
features a loft that must be reached by ladder.
An impressive-looking stereo system sits on the bar.
