funds Just' Read
Receipts And Expenditures Both
Close To $1,200; Officers
Named for 1933 Season
Officers for the coming year were
c'.ected and a financial report of the
show just passed was read at the
final meeting of the Lititz Community
Show. Association last night in the
Fife - House. According to the treas-urer,
C. S. Zartman, the show will
just about break even.
Total receipts and the balance from
the 19.31 show were $1,185.56, while
expenditures totaled $1,155.39. There-is
still $76 to be collected from ad-vertisements
in the premium list and
from several local groups that had
concessions and the bills for electric
current are not in, but it is believed
that they will not exceed the money in
the treasury. There will not be an-other
meeting of the Association un-til
the summer of 1933, unless the
money fails to reach, in which event
a meeting will be called by the presi-dent.
J: Clayton Brubaker was again
named President of the show in the
election of officers and W. Martin
Muth, vice-president. J. W. Bruckart,
who has been secretary for a number
of years, asked to be relieved of his
duties, and, after the chair thanked
him for his work and efforts for the
show, J. H. Koch was named secretary
and Arthur Reist, assistant. Mr.
Zartman was again elected treasurer;
W. M. Pfautz, general manager; J. L.
Snyder, assistant manager, and Lloyd
Smith, publicity manager, a new posi-tion.
Superintendents of the various
departments were also renamed.

L. H. S. Ends Season
By Beating Ephrata
6-0 Victory Gives Locals Fine
Record; Eight Members Of
Varsity Play Last Game
Pierson Elected Senator;
Gets 1082 Votes to Lead
G . O . P. Victory in Lititz
Lititz High School's football team
closed one of the most successful sea-son's
in recent years Saturday, when
they won their final game from their
neighboring rivals, Ephrata High, on
the Springs Park field, by the score
of 6-0. It was the hardest game of
the entire schedule for the local ceam
and the one above all that they were
most desirous of winning.
Out of the seven games played this
season, but one defeat was chalked
up against them, that by Catholic
High School of Lancaster. One tie
game was played with Stevens Trade
School, of Lancaster, but goes down
in the minds of the team as a moral
victory inasmuch as Stevens Trade
had one of the strongest teams of
their history having beaten Lancaster
High for the first time in many
years.
The results of the season's games
in the order played was as follows:
Chosen As New State Senator
Lititz
Shillington, 7 0
Lancaster High Reserves 14 0
Catholic High School, 0 20
Stevens Trade School, 7 7
F. & M. Academy Res. 13 7
Lebanon High Reserves, 22 0
Ephrata High School, 6 0

County And State Also Republi-can,
But Roosevelt Wins; 1513
Ballots Cast In Town Wards
Henry J. Pierson, home-town candi-date
for State Senator, was accorded
a rousing vote here Tuesday and was
elected in the 17th District over Silas
Bard, of Denver, his Democratic op-ponent,
by a majority of 8935 votes.
Mr. Pierson ran well ahead of others
on the. Republican ticket locally and
received 1,082 votes in the two Lititz
Wards.
The vote here was the largest since
1928 and although the town and the
county gave the Republicans a major-ity,
the Hoover-Curtis ticket was de-feated
nationally in one of the worst
beatings any Republican presidential
and vice-presidential candidates have
received in many years, and the votes
of the electoral college for Franklin
IJ. Roosevelt and John M. Garner,
was greater than when Hoover de-feated
Alfred E. Smith four years
ago. Hoover received 28 less elec-toral
votes than did Smith at that
time.
There was a steady stream of vot-ers
going to the polls all day here,
and the vote came within 300 of
reaching the record high of 1819 cast
here in 1928. At that time Hoover
received 1643 votes and Smith 131.
Tuesday Hoover received 1046 and
Roosevelt 402.
First ward voters, of which 927
turned out, gave Pierson 678, Bard
219 and Dengler, Socialist Candidate,

Zimmer Ilarp Trio Concert
At Linden Hall Saturday Night
The concert of the Zimmer Harp
Trio, accompanied by Harry New-combe,
dramatic baritone, will be
heard at Linden Hall Auditorium Sat-urday
evening at 8. The affair will
be open to the public and the ad-mission
will be $1.00.
It is an unusual thing to be able to
hear a concert almost entirely of harp
selections, as there are very few
musicians accomplished enough on
this instrument to present such a pro-gram.
The Zimmer Trio is well-known
all over the country and bring
music of unsurpassed beauty from
their strings. Mr. Newcombe has pre-pared
a fine program for his part of
the evening and will be heard in sev-eral
numbers accompanied by the
Trio.
Card Party Wednesday
The first of the series of card par-ties
planned by the Ladies' Auxiliary
of Garden Spot Post, 56, American
Legion, will be held Wednesday eve-ning
in the fire house and many play-ers
will be on hand for the bridge,
pinochle and 500 to be played. Door
and other prizes will be offered and
the admission will be 25c.
