LITITZ A HISTORIC NAME
Danger Past for Little Girl Who
Swallowed Pin
The many friends of Mr. and Mrs.
Will Stcininger will be glad to know
that their little daughter Ruth is im-proving
from her sad accident, at Jef-ferson
Hospital in Philadelphia. By a
course of special died which was given
her, the safety pin which she smallow-ed
the 25th of February, was made to
work its way out through the bowels.
Ruth is now being treated at the hos-pital
for the soreness caused by the
accident.

Editor The Record:
There is a great deal in a name, if
you krtow the origin of the same.
Takethe name of Lititz, in the centre
of Lancaster county! How few, if any
one speaKmg of Lititz as the Moravian
village, where pretzels have been bak-ed
for 90 years, know the origin of the
same. That it is interesting and full
of religious meaning to the world.
With 1475 and the organization of
the Moravian church, we always, who
know its history, associate the name
of Lititz—Editor Kreider, of the Mor-avian,
remarks in a late issue.
. Lititz is an unusual name, hence it
is known throughout the United
States. There are only three places in
the entire world which bear the. name
of Lititz. All of them are associated
with the history of the Moravian
Church. The first is the orignial
Lititz, formerly at times spelt Lititc
or Litice. It is in the picturesque .val-ley
of Kunwald, in Bohemia, now the
Republic of Czecho-Slovakia, on the
banks of the Adler, near the castle
ruins of old King George of Podie-brad.
The second is your favorably known
town of Lititz in Pennsylvania. . It
was named by Count Zinzendorf in
honor of the/anniversary of the settle-ment
of the original Lititz in 1457.
Now finally, the third Lititz, is
beautifully situated in the mountains
of the West Indian island of Jamaica.
It has been a successful Moravian mis-sion
station, among the colored people
of that island, since 1839.
But now to return to Bohemia. It
is interesting to note that the river
Adler, rising in the thickly wooded
moutains pursues a winding course till
it joins the Elbe when it enters the
North Sea, after passing the great
seaport of Hamburg, at Cuxhaven, at
the mouth of the river. Here we land-ed
from the steamer "Pennsylvania"
and from which fort we sailed in the
"Patricia," in 1913, less than a, year
before the Huns started the "World
War."
But to return to "Nos Muttons," as
the French say (to the subject in hand
it means). But before it joins the
Elbe, the wild and raging Adler be-comes
a placid stream, almost sur-rounding
the high mountain chain on
the summit of which the old castle of
Lititz is perched. Here it is still a
raging mountain torrent. In the Bo-hemian-
Czec language Lititz or Litice
means "wild" or "raging." More so,
indeed, than your peaceful, placid and
peerless Springs, except at the time
of an immense freshet.
It was here at Lititz, in this lonely
valley of Bohemia, then, under the
patronage of King Podiebrad, that the
fathers of the Ancient Unitas Fra-trum,
the Moravian church, with their
families, these reformers 64 years be-fore
the Reformation in Germany, or-ganized
themselves into a society, and
at first called themselves "Brethren of
the Law of Christ."
Now a railroad tunnels itself
through the mountain to reach this ex-quisitely
picturesque valley; while only
the ruins of the old castle look down
from the mountains. We wish their
stones could tell us of the noble, fear-less
men, women and child/en who
gathered there as a Christian band of
Protestants 465 years ago. There
must have been a goodly number of
them, for there were 28 elders elected
as spiritual guides.
Now we who were born at Lititz, or
who live there at the present time,
should be proud of the name of Lititz
and continue to walk in the footsteps
of those who lived in Lititz in 1457.
Make it a "Light set on a Hill" from
which influence for good may go out,
not only to the immediate surround-ings
but to the entire state, why not
also to the world at large.
Allow me to add a line of greetings
to J. Frank Buch, the man who had
the courage and vim to start the Rec-ord
XLV years ago. Lititz was then
yet a mere village. Had he not set
the type, run the press and carried
out the papers personally, after writ-ing
up and gathering the news, Lititz
would still be but a village. Now,
when recalling all the many factories
successfully running at Lititz, I would
say that J. Frank Buch with his Record
has done most to start them and make
Lititz known throughout the United
States.
Yours truly,
ARMIN.
O u r T o w n
Eggs are a real food. Year-ly
production in Pennsylvania
is 693,325 doz. Adams, Berks,
Bucks, Chester, Lancaster,
Montgomery and York coun-ties
are the leading egg pro-ducing
centres of the state.
The proximity to Philadel-phia
and New York affords
a good market for the eggs.
One man who started farming
near Lititz, said he would
have been up against it hard
last year, if it had not been
for his egg check, running
close to $65 a week. On many
farms around here, the egg
money goes to the wife, from
which she buys calico and
many other things needed in
the house. The egg money
is not to be sneered at. Eggs,
where the chickens have big
range, are produced cheaper
on the farm than the town
lots, probably half as cheap
in the summer time.
The Lititz public schools
have started a postal savings
system last week. There are
nearly 300 juvenile deposi-tors,
depositing sums from 1
cent up, totalling $60-
Compared with high finance
a $60 deposit may not seem
much. Total the sum raised
by the American children last
year and the figures are over
$4,000,000. The thing has
just started, in reality, and
at the end of this year with-out
a doubt the amount will
show an increase.
Practically speaking most
of it would have been spent
for candy. Now that $4,000,-
000 is invested, helping to
keep industries busy, stocks
moving, helping to pay
wages, an interesting little
story of what pennies will do
when saved. Instead of
spending them the junior de-positor
keeps them, a nest
egg for the future, forming
the first lessons in finance.
In a month trout fishing
season will open- It means
nothing anymore unless one
has the time and the money
to make a long trip where
fish are found. We harp back
to the time when the Lititz
stream was full of trout.
The Lititz stream is not
the only place where this con-dition
exists. There are 7000
polluted streams in Pennsyl-vania.
To stop the pollution of
streams—to stock streams
that are now barren—an
Isaac Walton Club of Amer-ica
has been organized. It
is the idea to have an organi-zation
in every city in the
United States. Some of the
biggest and best-known men
in the country are interested.
This is a movement that
every man who loves the fields
and streams should encour-age
Automobile Accident Cost Rothsville
Man $161
In the case of Tobias Daniels of Gap
versus John K. Denlinger of Rothsville
heard before Judge Hassler at the
Lancaster court the jury awarded $161
damages to Daniels. This is a suit
for damages arising from an automo-bile
smear-up near Akron some months
ago. The amount of the claim was
stated to be $111 which was the bill
for repairs by the plaintiff.
Will Stay on the Farm
Frank M. Busser, who had intended
vacating his farm along the horseshoe
t-urnpike west of the village of Clay
and disposing of his live stock and
implements, has changed his mind and
will remain on the farm. A good idea
and would to goodness that many more
who consider such a change would re-main
right where they are on the
farm. °
Ford Collision
. Daniel Withers, who was coming
down Cedar street and Ray Dillman,
who was moving westward on Main
street, collided with their automobiles
at the intersection of the two streets
on Tuesday noon. Both machines were
somewhat damaged, but moved away
with their own power.
HOME FROM CUBA
Messrs. Diehm and Gray bill Tanned
Like Farm Hands
Hon. G. G. Diehm and Mr. D. M.
Graybill, with a mid-summer coat of
tan, returned home from a trip to
Cuba and Florida on Monday, having
left on February 7. Both were de-lighted
with their trip and expect to
go again next year.
They spent a little less than a week
at Havana, Cuba, describing that place
as a city of beautiful architectural
buildings with all the amusements and
sights imaginable. The belief among
the natives is that all visiting Ameri-cans
are millionaries. The Lititz men
went into a "movie" one evening. All
the seats were occupied, but the usher
soon found room by chasing two boys
out, as he whispered, "Merican mil-lionaires."
They were on the east and west
coast of Florida, Mr. Diehm doing
some fishing around St- Petersburg
and had the experience of being tossed
around on a rough sea twenty-two
miles from land. He caught two
twelve pound fish and in the fight to
land them said he didn't know for a
long time whether he caught the fish
or the fish caught him.
The ways of the easy-going natives
of Florida, who never become excited
or know what it is to rush, was a study
for them. The orange groves, the
balmy climate, practically sunshine all
day long, was pleasant when they
thought of the changeable winter con-ditions
of their northern home. Flor-ida
"got" them, the same as it does
the other tourists.
N. D. Stprgis accompanied Mr.
Diehm on the fishing boat. Among
the other passengers were G. E. Stur-gis,
C. E. Sturgis and W. H. Sturgis.
This latter trio hailed from San Fran-cisco,
and naturally there was quite a
confab between them, the fishing trip
being the magnet which drew them to-gether.
Mule Couldn't Have Done Worse
Charles Zartman, of the firm of
Zartman Brothers, auto repairers, had
his right arm broken just above the
wrist last Thursday while cranking a
Ford. The one bone was broken en-tirely
and the other splintered. He
had cranked Fords for many years
previous without any serious injury.
BIG BULL ARRIVED
HERE BY EXPRESS
Crate Almost Width of Car Door—Big
Crowd at Depot
A thorobred Guernsey bull, with the
crate weighing 2200 pounds, arrived
by express on the noon train yester-day
from Bennington, Vt., for Amos
Sensenich, near Lititz. It delayed the
train fully twenty minutes in unload-ing.
A large crowd was attracted at
the depot. The bull seemed used to the
travel, probably being tired out, but
otherwise was in good condition.
The bull is of the Langwater strain,
the best known blood in America. He
is about two years old. Mr. Sensenich
has twenty head of Guernseys and it
is his intention of building up a fine
herd. The bull is officially known as
Langwater Recluse.
«FI-FI OF THE TOY SHOP'
Bought Store at Lancaster
Mr. Harry Brubaker, an electrician
of. this place, with a partner has
bought the large electrical equipment
store of H. G. Hess, corner of West
King and Prince streets, Lancaster.
The consideration was over $11,000.
It is being conducted under the name
of Brubaker & Turner, and later will
be incorporated.
Nearly 100 Lititz school people are
busily engaged in rehearsals in pre-paration
for the famous musical spec-tacle
"Fi-Fi of the Toy Shop" which
will be staged at the High School
Auditorium March 21 and 22.
The production has been staged
more than 1,000 times by amateur tal-ents
throughout the country and press
and public everywhere have been most
enthusiastic with their praises, declar-ing
"Fi-Fi" one of the most brilliant
and fascinating entertainments ever
presented.
The story is unique. It deals with
a dream of the toy maker'sdaughter,
Bonnie, and the coming to life by the
use of a smelling salts of a consider-able
number of toys and dolls in the
shop. All sorts of adventures await
the newly animated creatures and
what they do, and how they are finally
stored to their proper places in the
toy-shop is to give a most agreeable
entertainment with the aid of Lititz'
most attractive and talented young
people.
There is an interesting plot in which
the love affairs of the flirtatous Fi-Fi,
the finest French doll in the shop, who
leads the Toy Soldier, Leon Klaus, and
the Toy Prince, Paul Doster, a merry
chase for her affection, and then final-ly
elopes on a moonbeam with the
Man in the Moon, furnish many per-plexing
situations.
"Fi-Fi" is a story like Peter Pan,
in which older as well as younger peo-ple
take keen enjoyment. An elabor-ate
setting and scenic equipment will
be provided for the local presentation.
Tickets are on sale now by school
children. Admission 30c, reserved
seat 10c. The reserved seat char*
will be open Saturday morning, March
18, at the High School. Buy your
tickets early and reserve them Satur-day.

JOHN F. I CKER
TRU«
Origiona! Idea Resulted in Twelve Sales In Lancaster
Instead of waiting for customers to
come to his showrooms, Jno. F. Longe-necker
loaded his Superior Chevrolet
4-door Sedan on a truck, hauled it all
over Lancaster, stopping' at the differ-ent
manufacturing plants, and in the
evening displaying it in front of the
moving picture shows and theatres. It
was an original idea, at least none of
his competitors had tried it out at
Lancaster, and was an advertising
stunt that sold the car. In less than
two weeks he sold twelve of these
"490" 4-door Sedans.
Mr. Longenecker has so much con-fidence
in this nifty looking car that
he has placed orders with the Chevro-let
Motor Co. for eighteen more of
these models to be shipped out durir-the
montn of marcn. me car u a ally
equipped with the Stewart Vacuum
feed and gas tank in the rear, deliver-ed
to you for $975.00.
Mr. Longenecker would be pleased
to have you call and investigate this
wonderful 1922 Sedan. * He is the
county distributor and can be reached
on both phones at Lititz, or Duke and
