Mr. John Proves Wisecrack Right

-Times Photo by RAYMOND LANG HAPPY BIRTHDAY! JOHN HARTMAN, 104 Mrs. Edward Henry remembers how her father, John Hartman, used to plan ahead for the future. "Even after we were grown," recalled Mrs. Henry, who lives at 346 Catalonia Ave.," he told mother what he would do next year, or in the years to come. "And mother," Mrs. Henry mused, "would say 'Dad, the way you talk you'd think you're going to live to be 100.'" Today, (Thursday) John Hartman is 104. And last Sunday, the congregation at Coral Gables First Methodist Church, which Hartman attends regularly, rose at both morning services to sing "Happy Birthday" to the patriarch. Though deaf, Hartman's voice is brisk and full of pep. His eyes are weak and misty, yet each day he reads the front pages of Miami's two dailies. And if the weather's good, Hartman will stroll down Catalonia Avenue, his brown cane skipping along. His hair is grey, but full. Born in Evansville, Ind., Hartman was a bookkeeper for a boiler company. He retired, believe it or not, at 92. His one problem, if you could call it that, is what to eat. It wasn't so bad when he had two teeth, says his daughter. Now he has one, because of his age their dentist advised against dentures, said Mrs Henry. Her dad lives with her and her husband. "And I'll say, 'Now, Dad, you can't eat that,'" Mrs. Henry said, her father sitting near-by, his eyes closing occasionally. "And he'll say, 'Yes, I can, Give it to me.'" John Hartman, whose wife died in 1952, opened his eyes. He was dressed in a smart blue jacket with a trim blue bow tie and grey slacks. "No," said Mrs. Henry very proudly, nodding to her father, "You just can't baby him."

CG Offers More Help

Coral Gables has extended its offer to Metro on bus storage facilities to include servicing. The City Commission Tuesday agreed to hire an extra five men and include feuling, servicing and washing to its original offer to store approximately 20 buses at the equipment yard off LeJeune Road. The offer was made by the City to the Metro Transit Authority in the wake of protest in South Miami against the MTA's use of Manor Lane there as a bus garage. Earlier this week, MTA Director Dave Reynolds indicated that Gables offer was unsuited to County bus line needs, but the City's latest offer had not been forwarded to him.
