Leaves are falling, mums
are blooming and there is a
morning crispness in the air.
That's enough to say that
winter’s coming.

But, if you need further
proof, notice that the state
highway boys already have
begun to spot their snow
fences along the roads. Some
iron posts already have been
driven to hold the slatted
wooden fences.

If you haven't noticed,
Donegal high school now
makes a new and different
appearance at night. The
new, ornamental lighting sys-
tem authorized months ago
by the school board, has been
installed.

In light of that fact, it

out,

A strictly 1locl drive to

two or three years and seems
due for some decision before
too long — possibly in No-

Open Lighted
Firing Range
At Sports Farm
Switches were thrown on
Tuesday night for the first
use of a fine, new and unusal
addition to the facilities at
the Mount Joy Sports Farm.
Within the past few days,
work has been completed on
a dazzling bright lighting sys-
tem which makes possible af-
ter dark trap shooting.
Under planning for more
than three months, the new
system includes fifteen 500-
watt lights which flood the
entire field.
It was necessary to install
special lines and equipment
to handle the project.
The nearest lighted trap
shoot field is at Myerstown
and Mount Joy Sportsmen
have gone all-out, President
Martin said, to make the loc-
al installation the finest.
To Curtail Mail
Armistice Day
Thursday, Nov. 11, Armis-
tice Day — will be a holiday
for mail service.
Postmaster Elmer Zerphey
said this week that there will
be no window service at the
Mount Joy postoffice or at
the Florin station.
Thehe will be no city de-
livery or rural delivery.
Incoming mail is due to ar-
rive about 9 a.m. It will then
be sorted and then placed in
lock boxes. The lobby at both
Mount Joy and Florin offices
will be open. Mail which nor-
mally arrives at 4 p.m. will
not be sorted until the follow-
ing day.

‘Of This and That’
A McGuffey first grade
reader, a flax “winder,” and
an ornate piece of furniture
that looks as if it might have
graced a lodge hall — these
are the “treasures” we glean-
ed from an antiques sale here
in Mount Joy this week at
Keller's Auction Gallery.
The McGuffey reader we
will put on the shelf, after
we have read it through. The
beautiful flax winder will be-
come a companion to the
flax spinning wheel which
we found at a sale several
months ago, and the gorgeous
walnut and rosewood “cup-
board” or chest, or whatever

Dr. Thomas O'Connor
by the editor's wife
it is, will find a home in the
front office of the Bulletin.
We have a feeling it will be-
come a real “conversation
piece!”
It was made in Philadel-
phia many, many years ago,
and the workmanship is su-
perb. A decoration on the
front, which looks as if it
were painted, is in reality an
inlaid design of different
kinds of wood. The piece is
heavily carved, with fluting
and more elaborate designs.
We shall try to learn more
of its history—but for the
present, we shall just enjoy
its unique and ornate beauty.
Visitors are welcome — per-
haps someone will know what
it is!

A woman who has lived in
Mount Joy for 12 years and
is now moving to Oklahoma,
dropped in at the Bulletin
office this week.
It was Mrs. Marlin Waltz,
Birchland Avenue. Regretful-
ly she is leaving her ‘“won-
derful neighbors” and friends
in Mount Joy.
And do you know what else
she will hate to leave behind
when she moves to Oklaho-

TEAM WINS
Homecoming always is a
little more satisfactory when
the football team wins!
And—that’s ‘just what the
Donegal Indians did for the -
Alumni on Saturday after-
noon, October 23. They went
to work early in the first
period and rolled headlong
to a 49-20 triumph over Co-
calico.
It was the Tribe’s
win of the ’65 season.
The quick start saw three
touchdowns pushed across in
the opening period, convert-
ing extra points on each one.
No quarter was barren. The
second saw two more of the
same kind and one each fol-
lowed in the third and fourth
It was a good day for line
bucking, for passing and for
winning and a tremendous

Observes 99th Birthday On Thursday
What do you do when you
are 99 years old?
Well, you don’t just sit
and rock. Or, you don’t just
sit. Not if you are Miss Maria
Hoffman, who lives on the
Marietta road near Donegal
high school.
On Thursday (Oct. 28) she
will observe her 99th birth-
day. It probably will be a
relatively quiet marking of a
very unusual milestone, for
her friends and relatives are
looking forward to the big
one next year.
But, as quiet as the ob-
servance may be on Thurs-
day, it’s a good bet that Miss
Hoffman will be doing some
of what she has been doing a
lot of this past year.
As a member of the Cross
Roads Brethren in Christ
church, she does not go to
the sewing circle meetings
much any more, but—
One of the projects of that
group is to prepare receiving
blankets for distribution
when needed. To make the
blankets prettier and nicer,
one of the chores is to put
some fancy work along the
sides.
So, the blankets are taken
to Miss Hoffman and she cro-
chets the edges.
Someone asked her the
other day, “Do you know
how many you have done
this year?” “No,” she scoffed,
“I don’t bother to keep
count.”

BANKS TO CLOSE
All banks in Mount Joy
will be closed all day Tues-
day, November 2,” which is
election day.
The banks include the Un-
ion National Mount Joy bank
and the Mount Joy and Flor-
in banks of the Lancaster
County Farmers National
bank.
“But, we do,” one of the
women of the sewing group
said. “It’s 163.”
Miss Hoffman explained it
simply, “I must be busy.”

Time to Change

Don’t forget Saturday
night is the end of Daylight
Saving Time in this area for
1965. Sometime before Sun-
day morning, clocks, watches
and any other timepiece
should be turned back one
hour.
