Punch and Judy Puppets Have Old World Origin A form of entertainment 'which has amused Europeans for cen-turies, Punch and Judy, will be a new attraction at the Lititz Springs park celebration tomor-row. Puppetry had its origin back in the misty pasit at about the time Shakespeare was writing his plays and intolerant peoples were perse-cuting those who disagreed with them. Puppeteers trudged from town to town, giving roadside shows for the ibare living they could eke from it. Lititz' celebration, however, will have a more elaiborate show than in those early years. Indeed, the mechanical arrangements are so complicated thait the committees here are worried about putting the platform on the stage between band concerts. There will be two full shows at 3 P. M. and 6 P. M., and a short show, at 4:45 P. M. Punchinello, the most popular of the puppets, is of Italian ori-gin. Some historians place its origin in northern Italy, while others contend that the idea ori-ginates with the Neapolitan Pul-cmella of the 17th century. iRicco- (Continued on Page 5) INFORMAL CLASS REUNION AT LEED COTTAGE The class of 1910 of the local high school held an informal re-union on Sunday at the Leed Cot-tage near Hopeland.

Livengood is a vigorous oTator an interesting personality and a young, picturesque figure in Penn-sylvania public affairs. What he says at today's cele-bration in Liititz Springs park will be important, not only because he is State Secretary of Internal Af-fairs, but because he has had 'wide experience in many fields and is a clear thinker and forceful speaker.

LOOKING AHEAD
Campaign of 1940 will be fought
on Issues not now made; will «bear
little relationship to party plat-form
declarations; will be influ-enced
by events and by viewpoints
growing out of Hitler victories
says the United States News.
Growing prospect Is that war
abroad will end long before No-vember;
that there is going to be
no time for United States to save
Britain; that today's clamor for
peace will appear academic; that
very practical questions will lhave
to be faced by presidential candi-dates.
Cominfc questions; Should
U. S. make a deal with Hitler?
Should Germany ¡be given vast
loans of gold to use in buying
American products? Should U. S.
help Hitler by feeding destitute
people in Europe? Should invest-ments
in America of conquered
peoples be turned over to Ger-many?
.Or: Should U. S- refuse
to co-operate with a victorious
Hitler? Should this country pre-pare
for a later showdown with
Gtrmany? Should U. S. take a
realistic and hard-boiled attiitude
iu any future lealings?

of one oi the famous European lion heads is the work of the late Augustus
Beck, of HarriSburg, a native of Lititz. It was carved in 1S57.

SPECIAL MEETING AT
LITITZ MENNONITE CHURCH
The first of a series of four
meetings, clarifying the Christ-ian's
attitude and action toward
military activities, will 'be held at
the Lititz Mennonite Church on
Sunday evening at 8 o'clock.
Rev. Noah G. Good will be the
sipeaker. Everyone is invited to
attend.
Punch and Judy Puppets
Have Old World Origin
A form of entertainment 'which
has amused Europeans for cen-turies,
Punch and Judy, will be a
new attraction at the Lititz
Springs park celebration tomor-row.
Puppetry had its origin back in
the misty pasit at about the time
Shakespeare was writing his plays
and intolerant peoples were perse-cuting
those who disagreed with
them. Puppeteers trudged from
town to town, giving roadside
shows for the ibare living they
could eke from it.
Lititz' celebration, however, will
have a more elaiborate show than
in those early years. Indeed, the
mechanical arrangements are so
complicated thait the committees
here are worried about putting the
platform on the stage between
band concerts.
There will be two full shows at
3 P. M. and 6 P. M., and a short
show, at 4:45 P. M.
Punchinello, the most popular
of the puppets, is of Italian ori-gin.
Some historians place its
origin in northern Italy, while
others contend that the idea ori-ginates
with the Neapolitan Pul-cmella
of the 17th century. iRicco-

Pheasants Are Killed
In Large Numbers
Pheasants and rablbits are being
killed in large numlbers by mow-ers
in hay fields, according to re-ports
of local f arrners despite
their attempts to chase them from
the path of the reaper.
Some farmers have rigged up
flushing bars to startle the hens

the late hatch of pheasants is due
to the destruction of their first
nests by crows. .

Movie Stars Show Concern
For Lititz Man's Plight
John Hertz, a recent guest of
Robert Longenecker at a Red
Cross 'Benefit show in Hollywood,
attempted to jump to the stage of
the auditorium after the perform-ance
and caught his pants on a
projecting hit of metal.
Hollywood celebrities including
Paul Muni, 'Shirley Temple, Kay
Kyser and Jinny Simms looked on
with pity as John attempted to
hide the damage to his wardrobe.
The only restaurant that Bob
could take John to for refresh-ments
was a drive-in-place where
lunches were served to ipatrons in
automobiles.
Next morning John woTe a pair
of Bab's voluminous trousers
while his were ;being repaired, and
in the afternoon he was intro-duced
to Eric Von iStroheim and
Mary Barthelmess, daughter of
Richard Barthelmess, in patched.

at the Republican National con-vention
at Philadelphia.
As those who saw him in news-reels
can testify, he was one of
the platform managers who help-ed
to keep events running smooth-ly
on the speakers' stand. When
the convention adjourned he re-turned
to Harrisburg and his
duties as Secretary of Internal
Affairs.
Livengood is a vigorous oTator
an interesting personality and a
young, picturesque figure in Penn-sylvania
public affairs.
What he says at today's cele-bration
in Liititz Springs park will
be important, not only because he
is State Secretary of Internal Af-fairs,
but because he has had 'wide
experience in many fields and is
a clear thinker and forceful
speaker.
"Bill" Livengood ran away from
college to volunteer in the World
War. After the war ended, he re-turned
to classes, graduating from
Juniata College and attending
Susquehanna University and the
University of Pittsburgh.
After graduation he taught and
