XLIX THE LITITZ RECORD, THURSDAY MORNING, APRIL 1, 1926 NO. 28 EVENTS CONCISELY TOLD INTERESTING THINGS THAT HAPPEN IN TOWN AND VICINITY John Lehn was operated upon at the Lancaster General Hospital this week and is in a critical condition. William Stauffer, peanut king of Lititz, secured a new and larger roast-er, with capacity to roast a bushel of nuts at a time. Dandelion is being sold on the streets at ten cents a mess. With hard boiled eggs and bacon, cut fine, it makes a tasty dish, besides serving as a spring tonic. The household goods of Albert Kulp will be offered at public sale on Satur-day afternoon, at his home, East Main street. Among the articles are an-tique dishes and antique furniture. Charles Regennas won the turkey, weighing twenty-five and a half pounds, given free at the Leaman & Leed's store, on Saturday in adver-tising "Turkey Syrup." Eighteen barrels of vinegar were received this week by Lititz stores. At least there will be no shortage of vinegar for hard-boiled Easter eggs, a favorite combination for Easter breakfast. Wayne Young and Samuel Kulp, both driving Fords, collided at Hen-sel's corner, Main street, on Friday evening. Both machines need repairs but were able to get -away on their own power. The Record is marking copies in the left hand circle of the paper of per-sons who are in arrears a year or more as memory jogs. We receive requests frequently to do this to re-mind persons who otherwise might forget it. Victor Kauffman, of the second wiard, on Saturday found a purse con-taining $30 and the owner's name therein. It belonged to Ralph Ad-ams of Rothsville and was returned to him on Sunday, much to the joy and relief of the loser. Most of the business places of town will be open all day, Good Friday, with a few exceptions. Trimmer's Stores and Wertsch's store, will be closed all day Friday, and Leaman & Leed will close at noon. All the stores will be open on this evening. Rev. F. W. Stengel, principal of the Linden Hall Seminary, has purchased 200 trees of numerous varieties which he intends planting on the eighteen acres of land recently purchased from the Moravian Church. This will make a fine grove or park in course of time. The women of the Moravian church sent a box containing 571 rolls of bandage and a large quantity of hospital supplies and garments to the Leper home at Bethesda, Surinam, South America. It was sent by express to New York City, from where it will be sent free by a New York Company to Parimaribo. A stranger was in town last week, making inquiry regarding the build-ing of a first-class moving picture house. He stated that he would re-quire a location in the heart of the town and it was his belief that it would pay. He left without giving his name or address, but saying that he had an interest in other moving picture houses. BIRTHDAY ANNIVERSARIES Mr. Allen Hacker, Orange street, celebrates his 79th birthday today. Mrs. C. N. Derr also celebrates her birthday today. Mrs. Fianna Pfautz, quietly cele-brated her birthday anniversary yes-terday. POST OFFICE SOUNDS LIKE POULTRY YARD Local Farmer Received 3000 Peepers Thru Local Post Office A poultrym'an living near Lititz re-ceived 3000 day-old chicks in a single shipment thru the local postoffice. There were only half a dozen dead ones, in the lot. Boxes containing shipments are opened by the post-master if the consignee wishes, to verify any possible loss. , Shipments of chicks are made by first-class mail. This requires a charge of 25 cents extra, but it re-ceives special handling. When a ship-ment arrives here the person to re-ceive them is notified by telephone if possible. Most of the chicks are sent here from Ohio and New York State. Shipments are also being sent out almost daily by local persons who make a business of incubator hatch-ing. E A S T E R By Tom Dussinger Easter seems to be the day, to usher in the styles, And if the sun just come up right, and o'er the old earth smiles, We'll see so many diiF'rent duds of every shape and hue, That even the old rainbow won't be gettin' what it's due. Yet when we but consider how Dame Fashion holdeth sway, It seems as tho we most forget the meaning of the Day, We think more of the latest fads, and what's proper to be worn, Than of that aged old story of the Resurrection Morn. Why down there on the boardwalk, at the playground by the sea, Where all the smart creations and the elite class will be, There won't be much thot given to the meaning of the Day, No thot that can be given with Dame Fashion hold-ing sway. \ BIG STEAM SHOVEL AT STONE QUARRY Scoops Up Ton Of Material at a Time A steam shovel, with caterpiller traction, arrived here from Marion, Ohio, for Theodore Forney, and was put in operation at his stone quarry on North Broad Street on Monday. The apparatus was moved to the quarries on its own; power. It weighs thirty tons and the shovel will lift a ton at a time. A representative arrived here from the factory and will remain ten days to instruct local tenders. While there is a deep, clayey mud in the field, the machine waded right thru and show-ed its merits, the first day when it pulled a large loaded auto truck out of the mud. It will be used in shoveling dirt and large and small stone. It will reduce the present force of men by a ha'f, without cutting down production. ASK FOR CLOTHING FOR NEAR EAST RELIEF For the benefit of the Near East refugees and orphans, Bundle Day will be held in Lititz on April 7th. Donations of old clothes are asked for, —anything that is serviceable or can be intended, such as overcoats and wearing apparel of wool, linen or cot-ton, for men women and children The articles should be sent to the school house on that date at noon. This is a worthy cause and should not be overlooked. BOUGHT FOUR CARLOADS OF FURNITURE R. M. Spacht received four carloads of furniture this week—a carload of refrigerators, a carload of wicker furniture and the remainder compris-ing living rooim and bed room furni-ture, which is being stored in local warehouses until the opening of his new store. Mr. Spacht has arranged to buy furniture direct from a large factory in New York state, giving customers goods that are standard in quality and reasonable in price. TURNING OUT EASTER CANDY The local candy factory conducted by Regennas Brothers, has been kept busy for some time, supplying the Easter trade. The firm specializes on the cream cocoanut eggs, from the smallest size to the $2.00 egg. In fact, said one of the firm members, it is surprising, the amount of big eggs that are ordered. These eggs are decorated at the factory, many with names on them. The panorama egg, known years ago, which contains a picture, when viewed thru a smiall hole at the end, is fast going out of existence. Jelly eggs are a jelly composition, made of sugar, corn syrup and corn starch. They are turned out by machinery. Easter rabbits are made by pouring the concoction into moulds, are then dipped in chocolate and decorated. The trade demands some jumbo sizes. PAPER MILL TO PAY OFF $60,000 TO BONDHOLDERS TODAY With a Bad Start Industry now Pros-pering The 160,000 twenty-year Consum-ers Box Board and Paper Company bonds, bearing 5 per cent interest, yearly, issued in 1906 to build the Paper Mill here, became due today and will be paid off in full. In the beginning the company had a hard struggle and it was feared the company would fail. However, the officers worked hard, putting the af-fairs in charge of H. J; Peirson, the present manager. The late Dr. P. J. Roebuck was the first president, and held that position until he died. The business started to prosper, old debts amounting to about §40,000 were paid off, and later the paper mill at Eden was taken over by the local Company. Common stock, considered almost worthless at one time, can hardly be bought at present. The paper mill was originally bond-ed for $82,500 but in the past several years many of these bonds were bought by the company. Only tissue paper is now made. Henceforth it will be operated as a close corporation and will be conducted as heretofore. It is operated 24 hours a day with three shifts of men, numbering about thirty or more. Another paper-making machine was recently shipped here and plans are being made to build an addition to the mill. T. S. GROSH INTRODUCED 5 CENT CIGAR IN CHAIN STORES T. S. Grosh has four cigar rollers at work and will add two more em-ployees at his factory on Sprupe St. Mr. Grosh's five-cent cigar is much in demand. It is a hand-made long fil-ler cigar. He is supplying nickel cig-ars in 200 Atlantic and Pacific stores, with good prospects of putting his product in 800 of these stores in the near future. It was first tried out in September of last year, the first ven-ture of the A. & P. to handle cigars. The trade has shown a healthy in-crease. Mr. Grosh has a light, sanitary two-story factory, constructed of cement blocks. All thru this district the five-cent cigar has staged a come-back accord-ing to the local revenue office. HAS THE TOWN GUESSING Local residents are anxiously wait-ing to see what will develop on April 1st, when the building owned by N. S. Myers, at the square, is turned over to the new owners. Mr. Myers will not commit him-self, but says the townfolks will be surprised as it will be in line with gen-eral improvements. Wayne Zartman, who has leased a building in the rear of the lot for re-pairing autos, stated that his lease runs out to-day, and as he does not know, how to get in touch with the new owners, cannot plan for the fu-ture. OiirTcwn Blotting paper is becoming popular as a medium for adver-tising. Practically every person has use for a blotter and it is very inconvenient when there is no blotter at hand. Blotting paper is made mainly of cotton and has a great absorption pow-er. Blotting paper will absorb ten to twenty times its weight A paper agent in conversation with us related about a fire in the paper house he represented. A small fire occurred but was extinguished with an extinguish-er. In the meantime some one sent in the fire alarm and the firemen lost no time in sending a stream of water where the fire had been. There were big piles of blotting paper on the floor, and they absorbed the water, adding so much to the weight,on the floor that it gave way. The loss by fire was only a few dollars, while water caus-ed thousands of dollars worth of damage. The old Sand Shaker, used in place of a blotter, is re-membered by old persons. Chicken fanciers are advanc-ing fast in improvement in rais-ing chicks. It used to be a dif-ficult matter ten and more years ago to successfully raise young chicks by artificial means. Chicks were smothered, trampl-ed upon, white diarrhea was bound to kill many, while weak legs and other ailments, made life miserable for the owner. The new brooder hover has been a wonderful advanced step More scientific feeding is being done. Cod liver oil in the feed now eliminates leg weakness. Yeast adds quick growth. State inspected breeding stock is ending white diarrhea. Robert • Buch, near Lititz, has two lots of young chicks, three and six weeks old. They are strong and growing fast. Out of over six hundred young he 'lost only 24, with no unfit ones in the lot. In a special sale of ''Turkey Syrup" at a local store a bach-elor of this town who does his own cooking, bought a can. He thought that it was turkey soup and told others about this wonderful buy. It took some time to convince him that it was syrup. He had read hur-riedly and no harm was done as he found the syrup to be delight-ful. f DEMENTED SON CHOKED HIS FATHER NEAR LITITZ Ferry Buckwalter, residing near Erb's lime kiln, southeast of Lititz, was arrested by state police for chok-ing and beating his father Henry Buck waiter on Sunday but was later taken to the county insane asylum for an observation. State Police arrived at Buckwalter's home, near the Fruitville pike, about 9 o'clock on Sunday morning, in re-sponse to a call that the son, Ferry, was running wild. After threatening to kill his father and brother, Ferry grasped his father on Sunday and, before he could be caught, had nearly killed the parent by beating and choking him. He was charged with assault and battery, and disorderly conduct before Justice of the Peace, George D. C. Danner but these counts were dropped by Trooper Maske, when Buckwalter was admitted to the asylum for observa-tion. G. G. DIEHM SAW MRS. PINCHOT'S LETTER The much discussed "fishing letter" bearing the signature of Cornelia Bryce Pinchot, wife of the Governor, causing a controversy at the Meth-odist Conference in Philadelphia, and bringing a searchlight of publicity upon it, was seen by Representative G. G. Diehm of this place. Mr. Diehm is on the state fish com-mittee and he was shown the letter dtiring a business meeting. When reference was made to the letter, dated March 15, 1923, Mr. Diehm recalled it at once, remember-ing that Mrs. Pinchot endorsed Sun-day fishing. The movement to pass a law favorable to fishin g on the Sab-bath, originated in Berks county, fac-ing sponsored by a game association of that county. Reminiscences of Lititz, 1828-1838, Communicated by Mrs. Lizetta M. Weitzel Prepared by Her Daughter LOUISE A. WEITZEL (Concluded from last week) Next came the "Gemein Farm" and the house, a long, 1% story, half stone and half brick house, standing? where the frame cottage belonging to the Moravian Home (built by N. S. Wolle) now stands, was occupied by Jacob Regennas, a Swiss by birth, who had a wife and six children. The barn stood on the land occupied by the Public School Playground. A row of one story stone houses extended.from where the janitor's house now stands to the old log house back of the Sun-day School Chapel, used for storage at present. These were used by the brethren in the Brother's House for their various trades. The last one at the south end was butcher shop. At this time, the Brothers' House having been closed, as the system had out lived its usefulness, the first one, nearest the Chapel, was used as the school house by ' Mother Treger, the widow of Gottfried Traeger, who taught little boys of the primary grade. The others buildings were used for storage of meat, tallow, etc. The log house was occupied by brother Heinrich Heine, a Dane, an unmarried brother, who formerly lived in the Brothers' House. At this time he made tallow candles for the village, almost the only means of lighting in those days. He also rang the church bells, (Continued manipulated the bellows for the or-gan at church and filled similar petty offices. He was afflicted with asthma and on one occasion made such a noise panting and blowing, in chasing a dog out of church that the minister Rev. Bechler, reproved him openly, saying "Heine, Heinle, you are mak-ing more noise than the dog!" He always kept a great many cats. He became childish and came to my grand mother, who kept cows, every day for a cent's worth of cream for his coffee, with the invariable remark, "I am celebrating my birthday to-day!" The second story of this building was ocupied by the butcher and his family. At this time the Brothers' House was occupied by a nun.be: of families with the exception of the present lib-rary room at the west side on the first floor, which was one of John Beck's school rooms. While in this room he on one occasion- rescued Moth-er Traeger from a very unpleasant predicament. He heard an unusual noise and commotion in the old ladies school, and, upon investigation, found that the naughty little boys had se-cured a piece of twine and tied the old lady in her chair. She was quite helpless. The other room on the first floor, on Page 6) Easier In The Churches Easter will be observed as usual by the Lititz churches, most of them having special services, music and de-corations.

XLIX THE LITITZ RECORD, THURSDAY MORNING, APRIL 1, 1926 NO. 28 EVENTS CONCISELY TOLD INTERESTING THINGS THAT HAPPEN IN TOWN AND VICINITY John Lehn was operated upon at the Lancaster General Hospital this week and is in a critical condition. William Stauffer, peanut king of Lititz, secured a new and larger roast-er, with capacity to roast a bushel of nuts at a time. Dandelion is being sold on the streets at ten cents a mess.

Charles Regennas won the turkey, weighing twenty-five and a half pounds, given free at the Leaman & Leed's store, on Saturday in adver-tising "Turkey Syrup." Eighteen barrels of vinegar were received this week by Lititz stores. At least there will be no shortage of vinegar for hard-boiled Easter eggs, a favorite combination for Easter breakfast. Wayne Young and Samuel Kulp, both driving Fords, collided at Hen-sel's corner, Main street, on Friday evening. Both machines need repairs but were able to get -away on their own power. The Record is marking copies in the left hand circle of the paper of per-sons who are in arrears a year or more as memory jogs. We receive requests frequently to do this to re-mind persons who otherwise might forget it. Victor Kauffman, of the second wiard, on Saturday found a purse con-taining $30 and the owner's name therein. It belonged to Ralph Ad-ams of Rothsville and was returned to him on Sunday, much to the joy and relief of the loser.

POST OFFICE SOUNDS LIKE POULTRY YARD Local Farmer Received 3000 Peepers Thru Local Post Office A poultrym'an living near Lititz re-ceived 3000 day-old chicks in a single shipment thru the local postoffice. There were only half a dozen dead ones, in the lot. Boxes containing shipments are opened by the post-master if the consignee wishes, to verify any possible loss. , Shipments of chicks are made by first-class mail. This requires a charge of 25 cents extra, but it re-ceives special handling. When a ship-ment arrives here the person to re-ceive them is notified by telephone if possible. Most of the chicks are sent here from Ohio and New York State. Shipments are also being sent out almost daily by local persons who make a business of incubator hatch-ing. E A S T E R By Tom Dussinger Easter seems to be the day, to usher in the styles, And if the sun just come up right, and o'er the old earth smiles, We'll see so many diiF'rent duds of every shape and hue, That even the old rainbow won't be gettin' what it's due. Yet when we but consider how Dame Fashion holdeth sway, It seems as tho we most forget the meaning of the Day, We think more of the latest fads, and what's proper to be worn, Than of that aged old story of the Resurrection Morn. Why down there on the boardwalk, at the playground by the sea, Where all the smart creations and the elite class will be, There won't be much thot given to the meaning of the Day, No thot that can be given with Dame Fashion hold-ing sway. \ BIG STEAM SHOVEL AT STONE QUARRY Scoops Up Ton Of Material at a Time A steam shovel, with caterpiller traction, arrived here from Marion, Ohio, for Theodore Forney, and was put in operation at his stone quarry on North Broad Street on Monday. The apparatus was moved to the quarries on its own; power. It weighs thirty tons and the shovel will lift a ton at a time. A representative arrived here from the factory and will remain ten days to instruct local tenders. While there is a deep, clayey mud in the field, the machine waded right thru and show-ed its merits, the first day when it pulled a large loaded auto truck out of the mud. It will be used in shoveling dirt and large and small stone. It will reduce the present force of men by a ha'f, without cutting down production. ASK FOR CLOTHING FOR NEAR EAST RELIEF For the benefit of the Near East refugees and orphans, Bundle Day will be held in Lititz on April 7th. Donations of old clothes are asked for, —anything that is serviceable or can be intended, such as overcoats and wearing apparel of wool, linen or cot-ton, for men women and children The articles should be sent to the school house on that date at noon. This is a worthy cause and should not be overlooked. BOUGHT FOUR CARLOADS OF FURNITURE R. M. Spacht received four carloads of furniture this week—a carload of refrigerators, a carload of wicker furniture and the remainder compris-ing living rooim and bed room furni-ture, which is being stored in local warehouses until the opening of his new store. Mr. Spacht has arranged to buy furniture direct from a large factory in New York state, giving customers goods that are standard in quality and reasonable in price. TURNING OUT EASTER CANDY The local candy factory conducted by Regennas Brothers, has been kept busy for some time, supplying the Easter trade. The firm specializes on the cream cocoanut eggs, from the smallest size to the $2.00 egg. In fact, said one of the firm members, it is surprising, the amount of big eggs that are ordered. These eggs are decorated at the factory, many with names on them. The panorama egg, known years ago, which contains a picture, when viewed thru a smiall hole at the end, is fast going out of existence. Jelly eggs are a jelly composition, made of sugar, corn syrup and corn starch. They are turned out by machinery. Easter rabbits are made by pouring the concoction into moulds, are then dipped in chocolate and decorated. The trade demands some jumbo sizes. PAPER MILL TO PAY OFF $60,000 TO BONDHOLDERS TODAY With a Bad Start Industry now Pros-pering The 160,000 twenty-year Consum-ers Box Board and Paper Company bonds, bearing 5 per cent interest, yearly, issued in 1906 to build the Paper Mill here, became due today and will be paid off in full. In the beginning the company had a hard struggle and it was feared the company would fail. However, the officers worked hard, putting the af-fairs in charge of H. J; Peirson, the present manager. The late Dr. P. J. Roebuck was the first president, and held that position until he died. The business started to prosper, old debts amounting to about §40,000 were paid off, and later the paper mill at Eden was taken over by the local Company. Common stock, considered almost worthless at one time, can hardly be bought at present. The paper mill was originally bond-ed for $82,500 but in the past several years many of these bonds were bought by the company. Only tissue paper is now made. Henceforth it will be operated as a close corporation and will be conducted as heretofore. It is operated 24 hours a day with three shifts of men, numbering about thirty or more. Another paper-making machine was recently shipped here and plans are being made to build an addition to the mill. T. S. GROSH INTRODUCED 5 CENT CIGAR IN CHAIN STORES T. S. Grosh has four cigar rollers at work and will add two more em-ployees at his factory on Sprupe St. Mr. Grosh's five-cent cigar is much in demand. It is a hand-made long fil-ler cigar. He is supplying nickel cig-ars in 200 Atlantic and Pacific stores, with good prospects of putting his product in 800 of these stores in the near future. It was first tried out in September of last year, the first ven-ture of the A. & P. to handle cigars. The trade has shown a healthy in-crease. Mr. Grosh has a light, sanitary two-story factory, constructed of cement blocks. All thru this district the five-cent cigar has staged a come-back accord-ing to the local revenue office. HAS THE TOWN GUESSING Local residents are anxiously wait-ing to see what will develop on April 1st, when the building owned by N. S. Myers, at the square, is turned over to the new owners. Mr. Myers will not commit him-self, but says the townfolks will be surprised as it will be in line with gen-eral improvements. Wayne Zartman, who has leased a building in the rear of the lot for re-pairing autos, stated that his lease runs out to-day, and as he does not know, how to get in touch with the new owners, cannot plan for the fu-ture. OiirTcwn Blotting paper is becoming popular as a medium for adver-tising. Practically every person has use for a blotter and it is very inconvenient when there is no blotter at hand. Blotting paper is made mainly of cotton and has a great absorption pow-er. Blotting paper will absorb ten to twenty times its weight A paper agent in conversation with us related about a fire in the paper house he represented. A small fire occurred but was extinguished with an extinguish-er. In the meantime some one sent in the fire alarm and the firemen lost no time in sending a stream of water where the fire had been. There were big piles of blotting paper on the floor, and they absorbed the water, adding so much to the weight,on the floor that it gave way. The loss by fire was only a few dollars, while water caus-ed thousands of dollars worth of damage. The old Sand Shaker, used in place of a blotter, is re-membered by old persons. Chicken fanciers are advanc-ing fast in improvement in rais-ing chicks. It used to be a dif-ficult matter ten and more years ago to successfully raise young chicks by artificial means. Chicks were smothered, trampl-ed upon, white diarrhea was bound to kill many, while weak legs and other ailments, made life miserable for the owner. The new brooder hover has been a wonderful advanced step More scientific feeding is being done. Cod liver oil in the feed now eliminates leg weakness. Yeast adds quick growth. State inspected breeding stock is ending white diarrhea. Robert • Buch, near Lititz, has two lots of young chicks, three and six weeks old. They are strong and growing fast. Out of over six hundred young he 'lost only 24, with no unfit ones in the lot. In a special sale of ''Turkey Syrup" at a local store a bach-elor of this town who does his own cooking, bought a can. He thought that it was turkey soup and told others about this wonderful buy. It took some time to convince him that it was syrup. He had read hur-riedly and no harm was done as he found the syrup to be delight-ful. f DEMENTED SON CHOKED HIS FATHER NEAR LITITZ Ferry Buckwalter, residing near Erb's lime kiln, southeast of Lititz, was arrested by state police for chok-ing and beating his father Henry Buck waiter on Sunday but was later taken to the county insane asylum for an observation. State Police arrived at Buckwalter's home, near the Fruitville pike, about 9 o'clock on Sunday morning, in re-sponse to a call that the son, Ferry, was running wild. After threatening to kill his father and brother, Ferry grasped his father on Sunday and, before he could be caught, had nearly killed the parent by beating and choking him. He was charged with assault and battery, and disorderly conduct before Justice of the Peace, George D. C. Danner but these counts were dropped by Trooper Maske, when Buckwalter was admitted to the asylum for observa-tion. G. G. DIEHM SAW MRS. PINCHOT'S LETTER The much discussed "fishing letter" bearing the signature of Cornelia Bryce Pinchot, wife of the Governor, causing a controversy at the Meth-odist Conference in Philadelphia, and bringing a searchlight of publicity upon it, was seen by Representative G. G. Diehm of this place. Mr. Diehm is on the state fish com-mittee and he was shown the letter dtiring a business meeting. When reference was made to the letter, dated March 15, 1923, Mr. Diehm recalled it at once, remember-ing that Mrs. Pinchot endorsed Sun-day fishing. The movement to pass a law favorable to fishin g on the Sab-bath, originated in Berks county, fac-ing sponsored by a game association of that county. Reminiscences of Lititz, 1828-1838, Communicated by Mrs. Lizetta M. Weitzel Prepared by Her Daughter LOUISE A. WEITZEL (Concluded from last week) Next came the "Gemein Farm" and the house, a long, 1% story, half stone and half brick house, standing? where the frame cottage belonging to the Moravian Home (built by N. S. Wolle) now stands, was occupied by Jacob Regennas, a Swiss by birth, who had a wife and six children. The barn stood on the land occupied by the Public School Playground. A row of one story stone houses extended.from where the janitor's house now stands to the old log house back of the Sun-day School Chapel, used for storage at present. These were used by the brethren in the Brother's House for their various trades. The last one at the south end was butcher shop. At this time, the Brothers' House having been closed, as the system had out lived its usefulness, the first one, nearest the Chapel, was used as the school house by ' Mother Treger, the widow of Gottfried Traeger, who taught little boys of the primary grade. The others buildings were used for storage of meat, tallow, etc. The log house was occupied by brother Heinrich Heine, a Dane, an unmarried brother, who formerly lived in the Brothers' House. At this time he made tallow candles for the village, almost the only means of lighting in those days. He also rang the church bells, (Continued manipulated the bellows for the or-gan at church and filled similar petty offices. He was afflicted with asthma and on one occasion made such a noise panting and blowing, in chasing a dog out of church that the minister Rev. Bechler, reproved him openly, saying "Heine, Heinle, you are mak-ing more noise than the dog!" He always kept a great many cats. He became childish and came to my grand mother, who kept cows, every day for a cent's worth of cream for his coffee, with the invariable remark, "I am celebrating my birthday to-day!" The second story of this building was ocupied by the butcher and his family. At this time the Brothers' House was occupied by a nun.be: of families with the exception of the present lib-rary room at the west side on the first floor, which was one of John Beck's school rooms. While in this room he on one occasion- rescued Moth-er Traeger from a very unpleasant predicament. He heard an unusual noise and commotion in the old ladies school, and, upon investigation, found that the naughty little boys had se-cured a piece of twine and tied the old lady in her chair. She was quite helpless. The other room on the first floor, on Page 6) Easier In The Churches Easter will be observed as usual by the Lititz churches, most of them having special services, music and de-corations.
