Very shortly now, Mount Joy’s new Main street will be two years old. ® Oo eo And—to date — there has not been a single time that it has been necessary to “break open” the rebuilt roadway to repair under- ground utilities. ® © o In the meantime, the re- cently resurfaced streets in the Florin area are taking a beating as part of the sewer installation program. ®¢ © oo The street damage, how- ever, is part of the price for the project. ® ®e e Workmen are making sat- isfactory progress on the big digging job. One crew has moved northward on Orch- ard road to an area well past the intersection street. Excavating in that section is relatively easy but the line is very deep. ®e © o A second outfit is working in Church street between An- gle and Market.

NO. 20 98 Years Old Although she will be 98 years of age next Wednesday Miss Maria Hoffman has no special formula for longevi- ty! But — it would be safe to say that if one were writing a rue book about how to reach that age, he could use her life as the pattern. Calmness and serenity would be two of the ingredi- ents of the formula. Service to her family woud be an- other. A sense of humor which shines through a pair of sparkling eyes even at 98 would be another. Too, pdr- ents who lived to be 84 and 88 would help. She hears wel, talks well, sees well and thinks well — and a visit to her home is like a spring tonic. Serenity is one of her pearls of age. What does one do at age 98? Well,, Miss Hoffman, speak- ing only for herself: knits — What a man owns is in re- verse ratio to the number of keys he lugs around.

She eats a good meal of hot cereal, an egg, toast, etc. About the only concessions she would say that she makes is that she doesn’t go out of the house any more and she would a little rather sit down than stand. But, within the confines of her home on the Marietta road, between Mount Joy and Donegal high school, she and her niece, Miss Miriam are comfortable and secure.

Mrs. Derr died just two weeks ago, on October 9. “For 43 years, every week I had a letter!” Mrs. Harman said. “I looked forward to hearing from my sister, so much, and I am going to miss her letters now.” That’ by the editor's wife She continued, “It occur- red to me that the next best thing to her letters would be to have The Bulletin come each week with its news.” We can understand (Turn to page 2) the As a public service.
