The proposal is to erect

Such a project emphasizes

would have on traffic alone.

Borough to Rebuild Final Third of Wood Street
Third and final section of
Wood street will be rebuilt
during the coming summer!
Monday night, April 5, at
its monthly meeting held in
borough building, Mount Joy
Borough Council gave tenta-
A
tive approval to the B. R.
Kreider & Son firm of Man-
heim on a bid of $17,702.
The third and final section
of the long-term reconstruc-
tion program is from Choco-
late avenue to Angle street,
under the railroad bridge.
One third was done 3 years
ago and the second, two years
ago in 1969.
Already several sections of
curbing have been installed
by property owners. Monday
Sprecher Wins High Academic Honor
William A. Sprecher of Mt.
Joy, son of Mr, and Mrs. Ar-
thur D. Sprecher, 120 E. Don-
egal street, is one of 35 stu-
dents to be elected to mem-
bership in Phi Beta Kappa at
Lafayette college.
Election to Phi Beta Kappa
is based on high academic

DHS Big Winner at Fair
Donegal High School, Home
of Science Fair Success!
Again, in 1971, Donegal
school district entries in the
Lancaster County Science
Fair claimed what might be
rightfully called their share
on a per school basis.
Twenty-two of the honors
given in last week’s annual
fair, held Lancaster Catholic
high school, were claimed by.
participants from the local
area. A few more than 80
recognitions were made.
Nancy Kopp, D.H.S. senior,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Roy
G. Kopp, Mount Joy R2, was
the only first place winner,
taking top chemistry award
with her project, “Concentra-
tion of Dissolved Oxygen in
Stream Water.”
She had measured the oxy-
gen content of water in Lit-
tle Chiques creek and discov-
ered that algae in the stream
give off a surprising amount
of oxygen. She also noticed
that treated sewage from the
borough sewage plant con-
tains less oxygen than the
water into which it is empt-
ied.
Philip E. Nissley, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Nis-
sley, 584 West Main street, a
Donegal senior, placed second
in the physics division with
his work with ‘Adiabatic
Conditions in Vertical Activi-
‘Of This and That’
“Our place has been in
‘great tribulation’ for the
past two weeks about the
draft.”
Does that - have a modern-
day sound? It certainly could
have been written at any
time during the past few
years, but actually it is a quo-
tation from a 106-year-old
newspaper!
It is taken from the March
11, 1866 issue of “The Mari-
ettian,” a yellowed newspaper
brought to the Bulletin this
week by Mrs. Gerald Sheetz,
who had been given it by an
aunt in Marietta.
Interestingly, the article
continues: *The borough coun-
cil has contributed $300 a-
man and the several commit-
tees report $8,000 subscribed
which would have enabled us
to get out but for the failure
of many of the subscribers to
‘cay up’. A committee, how-
ever, is now in Lancaster get-
ting recruits as fast as pos-
sible and will continue to do
so as long as the money holds
out. We hope the persons hav-
ing this matter in charge will
furnish us for publication a
list of the subscribers and
and those who subscribed and
did not pay; those who were
exempt but contributed, in a
word, a statement of their do-
by the editor's wife
ings.”
We presume the article
concerns the furnishing of
soldiers for the Civil War,

ties.”
He showed how different
temperatures cause different
pressure within storm sys-
tems. Philip was third in the
same division a year ago.
Third place in the same
area of investigation was won
by 16-year-old Paul Beats,
who called his project ‘ The
Historical Geology of. North
America.” He used rocks and

night an official action was
taken by council to require
installation by all owners. No-
tices will be mailed shortly,
giving 60 days to comply.
While the completion ofthe
Wood street project was as-
sured, other portions of the
proposed 1971 summer street
work in the borough were not
settled.
Bids had been asked to re-
surface portions of 10 other
streets but when proposals
from six different firms were
opened budget problems were
discovered.
Council had allocated $19.-
000 for the total summer
program. Deducting $2,905
from the Wood street project
bid (a figure included to in-
sure curb installation), only
$4,803 remained for the other
proposals.
The lowest bid submitted,
also by Kreider, was for $8,.-
268.05.
Council decided to reject
all bids for the - resurfacing
portion of the summer work
and to seek new proposals in
such a manner that a total of
$3,465 could be spent on sel-
ected portions of the original ~
list of ten streets.
