F l 1 THE RECORD DO YOU REMEMBER . . . That 50 years ago many people in town wanted the Reading Company to locate the Station on Cedar Street. VOL. LV LITITZ, PA., THURSDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 18, 1932 Seniors Present Very Good Play "Smilin' Through," Something Different, Liked By Audience; Roles Are Well Portrayed An excellent play, capably acted and well-directed, was the contribu-tion of the Senior Class of Lititz High School to this winter's theatri-cal treats for Lititz and the smooth-ness with which it was presented puts it far in the lead' of the plays that have been staged here in many sea-sons. Choosing ".Smilin' Through" be-cause it was different from the usual play picked by a high school class, the Seniors l a v e gone still farther— tliey have presented it with an art and a perseverance that make it stand out even more. A large audience thoroughly enjoyed it last night in the high school auditorium and an even larger one is expected tonight. The play opens abouit 50 years ago, with the shooting of a young bride, on lier wedicfrag night, by a rejected sui-tor. Before she dies she vows to re-turn in spirit and undo the wrong. The play then .moves to a time follow-ing the world war, when two young members of the two families involved fall in love and wish to marry. They are refused permission to do so, but then the face of the slain girl smiles through the mists of time and the story gradually enfolds to a satisfac-tory ending. All the characters of the play did splendidly with their roles, scarcely any improvement being needed to make the characters real. And the smoothness of the presentation at-tested to the work of the directress, Miss Zada Workman, and the stage managers. The cast follows: John Carteret. Robert Posey; Dr. Owen Harding, Robert Peiffer; Ellen, Maude Bender; Kathleen Dungannon, Beatrice Bom-berger; Willie Ainley, Robert Krei-der; Kenneth Wayne, Elvin Geltz; WASHINGTON An Inspiration For Today 'fir No. 23 Two hundred years since George Washington was born! Reason enough for country-wide tribute to his «mem-ory. In Washington's time, and largely under his guidance, this nation came into existence and made a start to-ward greatness. Today we are, in a sense, making a fresh start; we are emerging from a period of sub-normal prosperity to work our way to great-er heights. And what could give us sturdier confidence than to reflect upon the amazing triumphs achieved by the early builders of the nation in the face of tremendous obstacles? Consider not only the achievement of the thirteen puny colonies in win-ning independence, but the stupen-dous difficulties involved in welding these colonies into a strong and pros-perous nation. The infant republic had a small and scattered population; its wealth was limited and its debts heavy; its natural resources were largely undeveloped. It had to estab-lish its credit both at home and abroad. It had to prove itself worthy oi the respect of its own citizens and of the older nations of the world. Yet from these unimpressive beginnings was built by faith and courage and in-dustry and determination, a nation more magnificient than even Wash-ington could have dreamed. Today, having so much more to start with, how can we help having faith in our country's future? If Washington was undaunted by the problems and difficulties, of his day. how can we, in justice to ourselves and to his memory, go forward otherwise than with cheerful and hopeful deter-mination?

Forward, America, with George Washington as inspiration! We, too, can accomplish marvels if we will. The above article was written by Lloyd G.

After reading the article headed "He Wonders Why," in last week's RECORD, I thought perhaps a few lines might help this party to see differently. In the first place this party paid too much for the cattle he bought, and again the price of cattle dropped considerably when the time for selling the same arrived. Meats have drop-ped. For example, meats that we sold for 20c a pound now sell for 10c a pound. Pork has dropped from 10 to 20 cents a pound. We are now selling pudding for 10 to 12 cents a pound. All cuts of good meats have been reduced accordingly. We wish to state here that we are not handl-ing shipped cow meat, and if we did, some such dealers would have to cut their prices. We sold calf hides last week for 40c each, costing from $1.60 to $2 apiece. Steer hides sell for $1.50 each, ones that cost $3.60. One hundred pounds of rendered tallow sells for $2.90, that cost $10. Only a short time ago, what we made on hides and tallow helped considerably to meet our overhead expenses. Now it is the other way. We are feeding some steers this year. They cost us 4c a pound. Oth-ers paid 5c to 6c. If we all sell our steers for 5%c, who will fare the best? Don't pay so much for style when you buy cattle, and you will do better. (A BUTCHER. Eighteen members of the American Legion Auxiliary of Post 56 attended the regular monthly meeting Thurs-day evening.

The drop from 25 mills to 15 mills was approved by the Board of Directors last night, when the budget for 1932-33 was adopted and it will be formally proclaim-ed m April. The per capita tax will remain the same, $2.00. The reduction is one of the biggest that has ever been made in this county or state and comes as a boon to hundreds of families in town. 'Supervising Principal M. C. Demrny was re-elected to his position for an-other year by the Board, as it conclud-ed a long session which closed close to the midnight hour. When the budget was introduced! by Directors H. H. Beck and P. F Snyder, the Finance Committee, it caused a stir on the Board, for such a reduction was beyond the fondest dreams of any of the directors. All the figures were gone over thoroughly and, after a lengthy discussion, th© budget was adopted on motion of Dr. S. R. Posey, and seconded by John G. Hershey. It is estimated that the Board will close this year, in July, with a balance of $11,000 and since by law such a balance cannot be carried along or set aside for any certain purpose, the money must be used up. This balance has accrued from the past two years, resulting from a high tax that was necessary to reduce the indebtedness. The only thing to be done then was to reduce the tax, but, as has been mentioned before, scarcely any be-lieved until they saw the figures, that 10 mills could be cut off. While the surplus balance could have been applied to a building pro-ject, had one been started this year, the Board had agreed at its last meet-ing that nothing along that line would be undertaken now. The reduction comes at a most opportune time, and will be a great help to many families in meeting expenses in view of curtail- (Contimied on Page 5) Total $ 9,635.71 Grand' Total- 1,425.71 Rubbish Dumping Warned Numerous complaints have been made to borough authorities about the dumping of tin cans an.d other refuse along the roads on the edge of town, yet within the borough limits.

After reading the article headed "He Wonders Why," in last week's RECORD, I thought perhaps a few lines might help this party to see differently. In the first place this party paid too much for the cattle he bought, and again the price of cattle dropped considerably when the time for selling the same arrived. Meats have drop-ped. For example, meats that we sold for 20c a pound now sell for 10c a pound. Pork has dropped from 10 to 20 cents a pound. We are now selling pudding for 10 to 12 cents a pound. All cuts of good meats have been reduced accordingly. We wish to state here that we are not handl-ing shipped cow meat, and if we did, some such dealers would have to cut their prices. We sold calf hides last week for 40c each, costing from $1.60 to $2 apiece. Steer hides sell for $1.50 each, ones that cost $3.60. One hundred pounds of rendered tallow sells for $2.90, that cost $10. Only a short time ago, what we made on hides and tallow helped considerably to meet our overhead expenses. Now it is the other way. We are feeding some steers this year. They cost us 4c a pound. Oth-ers paid 5c to 6c. If we all sell our steers for 5%c, who will fare the best? Don't pay so much for style when you buy cattle, and you will do better. (A BUTCHER.

The drop from 25 mills to 15 mills was approved by the Board of Directors last night, when the budget for 1932-33 was adopted and it will be formally proclaim-ed m April. The per capita tax will remain the same, $2.00. The reduction is one of the biggest that has ever been made in this county or state and comes as a boon to hundreds of families in town. 'Supervising Principal M. C. Demrny was re-elected to his position for an-other year by the Board, as it conclud-ed a long session which closed close to the midnight hour. When the budget was introduced! by Directors H. H. Beck and P. F Snyder, the Finance Committee, it caused a stir on the Board, for such a reduction was beyond the fondest dreams of any of the directors. All the figures were gone over thoroughly and, after a lengthy discussion, th© budget was adopted on motion of Dr. S. R. Posey, and seconded by John G. Hershey. It is estimated that the Board will close this year, in July, with a balance of $11,000 and since by law such a balance cannot be carried along or set aside for any certain purpose, the money must be used up. This balance has accrued from the past two years, resulting from a high tax that was necessary to reduce the indebtedness. The only thing to be done then was to reduce the tax, but, as has been mentioned before, scarcely any be-lieved until they saw the figures, that 10 mills could be cut off. While the surplus balance could have been applied to a building pro-ject, had one been started this year, the Board had agreed at its last meet-ing that nothing along that line would be undertaken now. The reduction comes at a most opportune time, and will be a great help to many families in meeting expenses in view of curtail- (Contimied on Page 5) Total $ 9,635.71 Grand' Total- 1,425.71 Rubbish Dumping Warned Numerous complaints have been made to borough authorities about the dumping of tin cans an.d other refuse along the roads on the edge of town, yet within the borough limits.
