Lititz Makes Good Showing
In Great N R A Parade
While Lititz was not the most
numerously represented town in j
the gigantic NRÀ parade Monday I
in Lancaster, it was by no means j
the least. Miss Ruth Dissinger, of i
West Main Street was one of the
two attendants to Miss NRA, the j
Lititz High School band drew great
aplause all along the line of march ,
and what firms were represented in :
line were there with nearly every ;
employee.
For almost four ans one-(haif
hours the parade passed over the
long route, with fully 30,000 parti-cipating.
And more than that
number of people lined the streets
to. watch it. Gorgeous floats, great
groups of men and women and
many bands and drum corps made S
up the parade that showed the sup- :
port and strength of the NRA, j
Perhaps a greater representation
from Lititz would have been on hand
had Word been received earlier
about it. À meeting was called for
Thursday night, but was so poorly
-attended that noting was done un-til
a meeting Friday noon, when
industries decided to close down
Monday afternoon and participate
in the parade.
Led off by the High School band,
the local delegation was made up
of school children, the Morgan Co.
with 67 in line the full Post Office
force, the Animal Trap Company
with a float and the Simplex Paper
Box Corp. Many other Lititz peo-ple
those who work in Lancaster,
were also in the parade which was
acclaimed the largest in the his-tory
of the city and county and
which will probably never be for-gotten.

Organs Built In Lititz
Still Used Despite Age
An organ built in Lititz that is
said to be in perfect condition des-pite
its 133 years, was used on
Sunday, September 3rd, in Hebron
Lutheran Church, Culpeper County,
Va., at a Luther League Conference.
The organ was the work of David
Tanenburg.
Records show that the Organ
was built here in 1800 and taken to
Philadelphia. Two years later it
was moved by oxcart to the Hebron
Church, which is the oldest Luth-eran
Church in use in this coun-try.
The first organist was J.
Frederick Shad, who was also the
school teacher of the district.
Sunday a week ago another old
organ that was built here by Tan-enburg
was played in Zion's Luth-eran
Church, near Spring City, Pa.

Snaps Picture Of President
Victor E. Stark, of New Street,
hitch-hiked to Washington on Fri-day
and returned Monday by the
same method. On Sunday after-noon,
while he was standing across
the street from the White House he
noticed a car pull up and the Presi-dent
and Mrs. Roosevelt step in for
a little auto ride. "Vic" pulled out,
his camera, which he was lucky
enough to take along, and was suc-cessful
in snapping a good photo
of the chief executive and the party
as they rode by. "Vic" is proud of
the picture, and he has a right to
be. Next time you see him, ask to
see it.
On Saturday afternoon the High School football team, pictured above,
will play the hardest game of their schedule when they will battle
Catholic High School, of Lancaster, on the West Lincoln Avenue field.

to avenge that 20 to 0 defeat of last year at Lancaster.

Eagle Ready To Scratch
First scratches of the ft laws of
the Blue Eagle of the NRA will be
felt very soon, following an an-nouncement
Tuesday night by
President Roosevelt that any per-son
falsely representing himself aj
operating under the NRA and not
complying wth its provisions will
be fined $500 and jailed six mdnths.
The President further ordered
Recovery Administrator Johnson to
prescribe further rules amplifying
those laid down by him.
Persons now displayng the Blue
Eagle will be allowed to do so only
so long as they abide by the pro-visions
of the code. Once they vio-late
it and violations have a way of
becoming discovered, the eagle will
be taken and the fine and imprison-ment
follow.
Just what will happen to those
who have not signed a code as yet,
is not known, but it is expected
that when such cases are made
known, they will be called to Wash-igton
to testify.
It is reported that several local
cases are being investigated, the
names having been turned over to
authorities, and it is expected that
summary action will be taken
against them unless they sign up
and live up to the codes.
Glee Club Coming Here

will be lifted.

School Board Fails
lo Fill Vacancy
Vote For Director "Fotr . Un-expired
Term Results In "Tie,
And Now Court Must Act
Selection of a person to fill the
unexpired school board term of
Prof. H. H. Beck is at a standstill,
the board casting 2 votes for each
of two men at the October meeting
last night.
Following a special meeting last
week at which time an appointment
'as considered made, but was ques-oned
and submitted to the Solici-tor,
it was expected that the elec-tion
would be made at the regular
meeting. When the matter was
brought up, however, two men .were
nominated and the resulting poll
disclosed two votes for each.
The resignation of Prof. Beck
was made at the September meet-ing
and if the remaining members
of the board can not name a suc-cessor
within thirty days, which
end tomorrw, the county court can
be petitioned to name the succes-sor.
The matter now will evidently
go to the court.
The Treasurer reported a balance
of $34,052.57, and bills amounting
to $6,900 were approved and order-ed
paid.
The letter of sympathy sent by
the board to Mrs. Elizabeth Book
was ordered spread upon the min-

Factory Plans Halted
Negotiations for a new factory
in the Lutz Hall, Front Street,
have been halted for the time being

had assented to remodeling the
place for the factory, and regrets
very much that the project has
been, temporarily terminated." All
hope for it is not dead, however,
and there may be something doing
in the future.
