Big news in the area this
week has been the snow.
®e oo oo
How deep was the snow
and how deep the drifts have
been topics of conversation a-
mong the adults while the
youngsters have wondered
from day to day ‘when will
we go back to school.”

But, remember, kids, —ev- :
ery day out of school means
a day of vacation at Easter
that you do not get! The
school calendar provides that
the spring vacation be whit-
tled to take care of ‘snow
days.”

Although Mount Joy was
practically paralyzed on Mon-
day morning by Sunday
night's snow storm, which
continued for 24 hours and
then drifted for another 12
hours, things came back to
near normal in aimost record
time.

It seemed that people were
able to dig out and to resume
their normal duties a little
more easily than on some
other similar occasions.
Berough mail men told
Postmaster Elmer Zerphey
that by Tuesday morning
there were enough sidewalks
shoveled out to make their
deliveries considerably eas-
ier. That, they appreciated.

Rural mail carriers were
unable to do much on Mon-
day and some places could
not be reached on Tuesday.

There were a couple of
cases which necessitated
some special help from the
Civilian Defense crew to get
sick persons from their

A tip of the hat and a
warm ‘thank you” should go
this wintry week to the little
and big paperboys who wad-
ed waist-deep drifts to depos-
it their papers safely at the
front doors of snowbound
homes . . . and to the doc-
tors, milkmen, the bread
men, mail men and emerg-
ency service people of all
kinds who performed super-
human feats of endurance
and patience to care for our
needs!

Snow ‘“Seen’: Boys walk-
ing along the “peaks” of the
snow mountains on Main
Street . . . young couples out
walking at the height of the
blizzard, just for the fun of
it . . . youngsters with snow
shovels, eager to make some
spending money . . . the pic-
turesque quality of all the
homes in Mount Joy, with
snow outlining the window-
panes and draping the shrub-
bery with a blanket of white.

Just before the storm, our
“scout” up on top of the hill,
Avenue, reported
a number of wild ducks cire-
ling around Mount Joy. Were
they “late-goers” or ‘‘early-
comers’? Who knows? Eith-
er way, they were definitely
off schedule!

Thought in passing:
Through the years we have
noticed how many times a
husband and wife will cele-
brate their golden wedding
anniversary and then in a
week or a month, one of
them will be gone. It has hap-

Engineers Estimate
Cost of Florin Project
Will Be About $820,000; Start in Summer
Attention to tentative en
gineering plans for installing
sewers in the Florin area of Mount Joy was given Tuesday
night by the Borough Authority at its January meeting, held
in the Authority office on East Main street. ,
Engineering figures estimate that the project will cost ap-
proximately $820,000 and the new system will serve about
390 of the 515 acres of territory in the Florin ward.
The engineer estimates now that if all factors work
out as anticipated now, construction can begin in the sum-
mer and that about eight months to a vear will be needed

Group 11th Time
Harold B. Endslow, Mari-
etta R1, has been reelected to
his 11 th term as president or
the Lancaster County Tobac-
co Growers.
Endslow’s election came on
- Thursday, Jan. 9, at a meel-
ing of the organization held
in conjunction with the an-
nual Lancaster County To-
bacco Show at the Lancaster
County Farm Bureau Cooper-
ative Association.
Reelected to offices were
J. C. Stehman, Lancaster RS6,
vice president; and Marlin
Cassel, Manheim R1, secre-
tary.
Leroy Funk, Washington
Boro R1, was elected treas-
urer succeeding Willis Hack-
man, Elizabethtown R3.
Named Officer
In State Assn.
Harold K. Keller, local
auctioneer, was named secre-
tary-treasurer of the Penn-
sylvania State Auctioneers
association last week at the
state convention in Harris-
burg. Twelve Lancaster
county auctioneers attended
the meetings in the Penn
Harris hotel Friday and Sat-
urday.

was named president of the
organization.
Clyde H. Wolgemuth of
Manheim was appointed to

in Pittsburgh. The national
convention will be held in
Des Moines, Iowa, in July.
Others from Lancaster
county attending were Wil-
bur Hosler, Henry H. Leid,
Paul Z. and Vernon Martin,
Harold K. Showalter, Claude
Smith, Walter Smith and
Cloyd Wenger.
Snow Removal
Attention was called this
week by the Mount Joy Bor-
ough Council to a local ordi-
nance which requires remov-
al of snow from sidewalks..
The law sets out that re-
moval shall be completed 24
hours after snow fall ends,
George Groff, council presi-
dent, said.
It also is provided, he said,
that the borough may, where
necessary, remove the snow
and charge the property own-
er.
for the construction.
As presented in the preli-
minary plans, the system will
need only one pumping sta-
tion and that will be actually
an “ejector” arrangement, by
which sewage will be forced
from a point along Donegal
Springs road, west of Cross
Roads church, to a point at
the top of the rise near the
John Henry Lutz welding
shop, (about 1,000 feet). The
ejector will operate by com-
pressed air.
It was explained that
mechanically the system be-
ing designed is based in
size upon a projected popula-
tion in. Mount Joy of about
6,360 people in 1985.
All underground instzalla-
tions will be adequate for
much more growth—even to
10,000 population.
As anticipated, costs of
the project will be as follows:
Construction ...... $627.000
Engineering ...... 76.000
Legal ...7........ 12.000
Interest (During
construction 30.00C
Bond discount .... 16.400
Rights-of-Way ..... 5.000
Contingencies 53.100
Total ...........: $82C.000
Breaking down the con-
struction costs, the installing
of underground mains and
service lines to the property
curbs, $571,000; ejector sta-
tion, $19,500; alterations to
existing pumping station ‘on
east Main street), $8,000, and
alterations to the existing
sewage treatment plant, $28,-
500.
As now proposed, by far
the greatest amount of sew-
age will flow by gravity into.
the already existing main
trunk sewer which passes to
the north of Mount Joy and
terminates at the pumping
station on east Main street.
Even much of the anticip-
ated volume will be collected
south of the Pennsylvania
railroad and carried under
the tracks on south Market
avenue.
