BURKHARTV Town its* I 4 IH Hiking - Natural Selection - The Screen What we need today is a revival of pedestrianism—walking, hiking, and mountain-climbing. Why, you ask, simply to wear out shoes? No, my friend. There are many joys in the art of walking. The dis-tance you cover is not so great, in comparison to the speedy transit of an auto, but you see and experi-ence more. In your struggles for breath, while stumbling happily on ypur uncertain way, there is a deep proud feeling that you are making your own natural trails. On to the mountains, Keller's or the Rockies. . . . Barking your' shins, wrenching ankles, winding on lost trails, kicking twisted and gnarled roots, sliding stones and slippery ledges. Lunching in the small noon shade of a shaggy ce-dar, a rich sunset, a moon in pro-file. Looking toward deep valleys, where gleam a few yellow lights, the evidences of civilization. To sleep in the open, with the gold-tinted sky in full view, or within warmth of a cabin fire. That is life, that is hiking. Yes, nations walk, but too many of them with guns under their arms. Let us walk in peace. I suggest a Community Hike for the walking people of this vicinity, young and old. Wouldn't that be dandy? Yes, wouldn't it Thomas Moore, the Irish poet oi more" than a century past, wrote the following epigram, which Mt-< irizes both his times and ours. "Come, come," said Tom's father, "at your time of life, There's no longer excuse for thus playing the rake.— It is time you should think, boy, of taking a wife."— "Why, so it is, father,—whose wife shall I take?" Coming Monday and Tuesday to the Lititz Theatre: A film that has been awaited so long and univer-sally. The "Good Earth" is the mighty and beautiful culmination of a good novel and the resources of Holywood. A new color process was used in the making, adding a deep rich flavor to the Oriental scenes. China is the story, China the mother of its dynamic life and death. The tale of simple lives, passions and defeats. Wang Lung is notably portrayed by Paul Muni, No. 1 character actcr in the film colony. Wing's wife O-lan n deft-ly impersonated by Louise Ralner (ri-ner). Tilly Losch as the pro-vocative sing-song girl, and Wal-ter Connelly as Wang's uncle, add zest to the central plot. Don't miss seeing the "Good Earth." . . . I missed something at the end of the Lititz Hi-Shillington Hi foot-ball game on Saturday. Where was the huddle at the end, the cheer for the opposing team? Was it but a courtesy that has been abandoned as sentimental and un-manly? I wonder. . . . Put an Adv. in the Premium List Booklet and Help the 1937 Community Show.

Cedar and Orange Streets. Mr. Miller's steering wheel lock-ed as he was negotiating the turn and crashed ihtg Miss Keener's car smashing the left front fender and headlamp. Mr. Miller's car, a model T Ford, had to be towed to his garage as the front wheels were bent on the axle horizontal to the body and the radiator was punctured. Nearly all model T Fords hid a habit of locking in making a short turn, but Mr. Miller said it was the first time it had ever hap-pened to him although he had heard of many other accidents through this deficiency of the cars of that vintage. Riding with Miss Keener at the time of the crash was Miss Ruth, Dissinger. The girls were return- j ing from their teaching duties in i the Warwick Township School i District. No one was injured, al-| though Miss Dissinger was thrown' against the windshield her head striking and breaking the rear view mirror inside the car.

Will Cooperate With Schools in Fire Prevention Work; Talk On Lightning Is Heard Delegates from 41 fire companies in Lancaster County and from companies in Lebanon and York Counties attended the monthly meeting of the Lancaster County Firemen's Association held in the Lititz High School Auditorium on Friday night. Burgess J. C. Bren-neman, of town, welcomed them. Earl F. Lefever, chairman of the Fire Prevention Committee, an-nounced that the county fire com-panies will cooperate with the schools in staging programs hav-ing a bearing on firemen's activi-ties during Fire Prevention Week. He also said posters calling atten-tion to the work of the firemen will be distributed throughout the county, and broadcasts over WGAL will be made. Herbert Blankemeyer, of the Lancaster City Fire Department, presented a novel methol of prac-ticing Fire Prevention throughout the year. In part Mr. Blankemeyer said, "With a camera and a little publicity you can correct a lot of hazards in your community which is a lot cheaper than using expen-sive equipment and materials to put out a fire. If you know of a hazard ask the owner to correct it. If no inclination is shown to co-operate with you, take a picture of the hazard, give it. plenty of publicity and keep it on your blacklist until thru shame the haz-ard is eliminated. A store win-dow in the shopping district is quite effective." "Contratry to common belief, lightning does not always travel from sky to earth." With this ex-planation Professor Charles R. Esh-leman, Jr., of the Lancaster High School science department pro-ceedel to demonstrate to the Lan-caster County firemen that light-ning travels from cloud to cloud, from sky to earth and from earth to sky. To demonstrate the celes-tial phenomenon Professor Eshle-man used several pieces of equip-ment, and the sputtering of the electrical discharges added a real-istic touch to his explanation. The firemen adopted a resolu-tion presented by the Executive Committee to print a monthly pub-lication to be known as the Lan-caster County Fireman. In connection with the report of the Suggestions Committee, Oliver J. Reed, of Lititz, was awarled $2.50 for a suggestion turned in. This was the first award in con-nection with the suggestions sys-tem recently put into operation by the firemen to stimulate interest in the work of the association. The Lutz Family Band enter-tained with musical selections. Then and Now might be the title1 of some interesting conversation this week with B. F. Lutz, who this Fall is rounding out 40 years in the meat business. Facts and fig-ures of butchering over that per-iod of time reveal how much times do change. In the past four decades, Mr. Lutz estimates he has slaughtered about 16,400 head of cattle, 12,000 hogs and 13,000 calves. He has made tons and tons of sausage, pudding, and bologna. . Although tastes of people run about the same now as then, Mr. Lutz quoted a great difference in prices of meat 40 years ago. For instance, sausage was 2 pounds for 25c and beef steak was the same. Chuck roast sold at 8c and 9c a pound and boiling beef was 7c and 8c. Mr. Lutz remembers buying <i horse for $32 which took him to market for eight years. Now, he said, you must have a truck which costs at least $500. Market stalls then were $25 a year; now they are $250. One of the biggest thrills con-cerning his business over the per-iod of 40 years came one Winter day about 30 years ago. He start-ed early in the morning for the Lancaster market. When he ar-rived there snow began to fall and by 8 in the morning it was getting deep. So he started for home with his horse and wagon, reaching Neffsville about 11.30. He had dinner there and started on, through fields, zig?zagging around trees and over fences. He reached here at 5. Now, he remarked, when snow begins falling, state plows clear away the snow from the roads and keep them clear. Mr Lutz believes he has travel-ed 20,800 miles just going to the Lancaster markets in the past 40 years etween 1 and 3 A.- M. when most of the people are asleep. Proposals to Lease Post Office Quarters Railroad Pictures Shown to Rotarians Proposals are solicited, to be received in the office of the Post Office Inspector, George W.

Will Cooperate With Schools in Fire Prevention Work; Talk On Lightning Is Heard Delegates from 41 fire companies in Lancaster County and from companies in Lebanon and York Counties attended the monthly meeting of the Lancaster County Firemen's Association held in the Lititz High School Auditorium on Friday night. Burgess J. C. Bren-neman, of town, welcomed them. Earl F. Lefever, chairman of the Fire Prevention Committee, an-nounced that the county fire com-panies will cooperate with the schools in staging programs hav-ing a bearing on firemen's activi-ties during Fire Prevention Week. He also said posters calling atten-tion to the work of the firemen will be distributed throughout the county, and broadcasts over WGAL will be made. Herbert Blankemeyer, of the Lancaster City Fire Department, presented a novel methol of prac-ticing Fire Prevention throughout the year. In part Mr. Blankemeyer said, "With a camera and a little publicity you can correct a lot of hazards in your community which is a lot cheaper than using expen-sive equipment and materials to put out a fire. If you know of a hazard ask the owner to correct it. If no inclination is shown to co-operate with you, take a picture of the hazard, give it. plenty of publicity and keep it on your blacklist until thru shame the haz-ard is eliminated. A store win-dow in the shopping district is quite effective." "Contratry to common belief, lightning does not always travel from sky to earth." With this ex-planation Professor Charles R. Esh-leman, Jr., of the Lancaster High School science department pro-ceedel to demonstrate to the Lan-caster County firemen that light-ning travels from cloud to cloud, from sky to earth and from earth to sky. To demonstrate the celes-tial phenomenon Professor Eshle-man used several pieces of equip-ment, and the sputtering of the electrical discharges added a real-istic touch to his explanation. The firemen adopted a resolu-tion presented by the Executive Committee to print a monthly pub-lication to be known as the Lan-caster County Fireman. In connection with the report of the Suggestions Committee, Oliver J. Reed, of Lititz, was awarled $2.50 for a suggestion turned in. This was the first award in con-nection with the suggestions sys-tem recently put into operation by the firemen to stimulate interest in the work of the association.

Lutz, who this Fall is rounding out 40 years in the meat business. Facts and fig-ures of butchering over that per-iod of time reveal how much times do change. In the past four decades, Mr. Lutz estimates he has slaughtered about 16,400 head of cattle, 12,000 hogs and 13,000 calves. He has made tons and tons of sausage, pudding, and bologna. . Although tastes of people run about the same now as then, Mr. Lutz quoted a great difference in prices of meat 40 years ago. For instance, sausage was 2 pounds for 25c and beef steak was the same.
