A young girl, evidently with a pic-nic, walked into a cigar store and ask-ed. for a souvenir box of Lititz cigars. ' She probably was confused with sou-venir boxes of Ideal candy.

One of the cannon balls used as an ornament at the . fountain was dis-covered to be missing. Policeman Kreider got busy and found it in the month of the cannon close by. As the cannon is pointed at the Exide service station: conducted by (Dpc.) Howard Evans, he had an idea somebody had designs on shooting up his place. A number of /bills have been mailed out for subscription. As the news-paper is not endowed it takes money to keep it running. Many of our readers pay promptly but some are careless in this respect.

Easy Money Schemers to Be Investigated The Lititz Chamber of Commerce meeting- was well attended Tuesday evening, when representatives from the State and National Chamber of Commerce spoke. In a general dis-cussion many things of important effecting the town were brought TO. Regarding charity collectors, it was stated that miany of them, when p.u1 to a test, could not give a clear record. Persons selling stocks in town, and other forms of money getting, should be investigated, it was brought out, A concise example was given by Mr. Charles Brobst, who was approached by a stock promoter for a list of wealthy prospects.' He advised him to see the Secretary of the Chasmfcer of Commerce, and from last accounts the - stranger hurriedly left town. Advertising schemes of doubtful val-ue were also discussed. Some method to combat these fin-ancial drains, to fully investigate the claims, will, be put in tangible form by next meeting, probably by form-ing a Vigilance Committee. Mr. E. J. Poole, a prominent bus-iness man, and ¡president and vice-president respectively of the Reading Chamber Of Commerce, addressed the Lititz organization. He spoke on in-, dustries, of the trend to move in-dustries to the southwest, and to coimjbat this by getting diversified in-dustries that will fit" into the com-munity. A Chamber of Commerce is only as strong as the effort put back of it. . Criticism can be expected. •These were some of the thoughts he brought home. Herman H. Kopp, connected with the National organization, told of the work of that body. New members added were Dr. M. H. Yoder, Dr. S. R. Posey and A. R. Keller. . The treasurer reported that $837.00 in dues was collected, $146.51 was dispersed, leaving a balance of $690.99 'Warwick Boys" Catch Trout Charles Bricker and Clarence and Tahlmian I. Brubaker on Tuesday made a fair catch of trout, fishing several streams near Miayto-wn and near Lititz. The largest one, 13% inches, was- taken out of a small stream less than four miles from Lititz. Old timers recall the days when trout abounded in the Lititz Springs Creek, and in season not only our local sportsmen, but also fisher-men from distant points could be found along its banks Today, how-ever, there are few streams nearby that -afford good trout fishing and the big ones are rarely found. Evans Brothers Bought Confec-tionery Business Raymond and Arthur Evans bought the confectionery and dry cleaning-business conducted by J. Albert Hall in the Malta Building on East Main Street. The new owners will reno-vate the rooms and will open ,a rear room to serve ice cream and light lunch. They will have a public open-ing about July 28, announcement to be made in the paper. The young men.ask the public for a share of their patronage. S ^ r o u n d O u r TOÏPU Here ' are two true stories with a similarity in the ending* ;• A man wiho had eaten a big meal at the restaurant of Harry Martin in New York, had no money with which to pay his check. "Let me leave my hat here, for security," he said. "I just live around the corner and can get the cash in a few minutes." Martin consented. The stran-ger put a new fedora on the hatrack. Hours later, when Martin inspected the hat, he found it was his own. After having gasoline put in a. car he was driving, David Gil-day informed the filling station proprietor, Claire P. Caffrey, of Sferanton, that he had no money, but would leave his watch as security. Caffrey agreed, but upon looking at the time-piece recognized it as his own which had ¡been stolen from him while he was measuring out the motor fuel. A Philadelphia visitor in town on Saturday evening commented on the excellent music rendered by the 104th. National Guard Band, and the up-to-date selec-tions in their repertoire. Peo- , pie in Lititz and vicinity, he - noted, while attentive listeners, fail to give liberal applause. Nothing is appreciated more by leader and his bandsmen than hearty, spontaneous applause. I t makes them warta up to am audience keying them to a pitch where they will' do their best. Lititz music lovers should re-member this in the future. Don't be -afraid to applaud and the musicians will repay it by giving their best. Everybody likes to see his efforts appre-ciated. Praise goes "a great way. Try it out at the next concert. A party of autoists asked a Lititz resident where the antique room in town is located. The roan asked said he never heard of it but the questioner insist-ed that there was such a plaice. Another by-stahder then gave out the information that there is a room of antiques in the Moravian ,S. S. chapel. It is seldom that stranger's ask to see the antiques, as few town people know that it exists. I f an effort were made many m«re things could be added to the collection, as there are many anBi(|.ues stored away at the Moravian church and Linden Hall. A snapper turtle weighing nineteen pounds and another one of five pounds were caught this week by Harry Bedger, of Clay, while at a little creek five miles north of Lititz. It undoubtedly was the largest snajpper caught in this section for many years. Gldes residents remember in years gone by when .Jerre Kof-roth, who conducted the old Stnrgis House, -secured an im-mense turtle that was caught in this section and turned it in-to soup. It was a free treat and apparently half the town was there. The turtle was so large that it walked away with a man standing on his back. This same proprietor also held a wolf chase. It was also at this ho-tel that a Canadian lynx, shot - at Kissel Hill, was put on ex-hibition. . . J Reunion of Virginians A reunion of Virginians will be held in the Springs'.Park on Friday, Aug, 3rd, from - morning until evening. A feature will be music by the Lititz High School hand of sixty-four in-strutaients. There will be -addresses and other things of interest on the program. Anyone who is interested is. urged to attend and to-ve a good time. roily Good-bye ever to Return Charles S'heneberger, 25, had an eventful July. On Saturday, July 7th he was in- a bad auto truck accident at the. Square at Lititz; on Saturday, a week later, he bid his family good-bye -and left for parts unknown. Saturday evening, in a few words, he told his wife he was leaving for good and would go to another state out of ¡reach of the law. He banded each of his tw'o small children some change, and told his wife not to at-tempt to have him apprehended. He gave no reasons for leaving. It is said he drew out his bank account in full. Mjrs. Sheneberger and children are now living with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Goetz, East Front street. The case has been reported to the state police. Lititz Boy Joins Army for Ser-vice in Hawaii Private Lloyd W.

Seriously III Aged Henry Wike, who resides with his daughter, Mrs. William Stauffer, is critically ill. Clarence Wert is suffering with an infected right-hand caused by a slight - scratch. - , : : Editor Lititz Record: I t was with a great deal of plea-sure I read the description story of the Tri-Mius boys' fishing trip to Cape May several weeks ago. I was somewhat ~a!pprehensive: for fear the weather might mot prove very favor-able for deep sea fishing. A rough sea wotild have taken, all the pleasure out of the trip, but as it proved, the day was ju-st about perfects To add to the pleasure was the good news that they m/ade such a fine catch. Sorry I wasn't enabled to join the party, but it just couldn't be, so that's ih-at. ^ Now as to the mirth-provoking ballon fish, which no doubt proved very amusing to the boys, permit me to correct an erroneous impression regarding, theimi. Had-they {seen what I brought home with me on the Fourth perhaps they would have changed their minds, regarding them. I had two of those ¡wooden plates used for bait packed full of balloon fish, cleaned, and the roe from about fif-teen of them. Believe it or not, shad roe isn't in it with the roe of a ball-oon fish. And the fish themselves are just about the finest eating that any one could wish for. I am well aware, many fishermen discard them, biit not when I 'm there as I take home all I can get. ;So the next time, do not1 discard the very best of all fish. They haven't any bones, just a rib through the center, and fried in bread or cracker crumbs to a crisp brown y!ou have a dish fit for. a king. Quite a number of fishermen are getting wised up on them, so that at times I do not get as many as I would other-wise. So get wise and if you ever get the opportunity, try them), and you'll be delighted. Harry W, Seaber An Unusual Rote! Last- week several Lititz men took a trip to the Blue mountains to Garry Wolf's hotel along the old Pine Grove road, but found that the huckleberry crop was yet green and would .not .be ripe for two weeks.

Easy Money Schemers to Be Investigated The Lititz Chamber of Commerce meeting- was well attended Tuesday evening, when representatives from the State and National Chamber of Commerce spoke. In a general dis-cussion many things of important effecting the town were brought TO. Regarding charity collectors, it was stated that miany of them, when p.u1 to a test, could not give a clear record. Persons selling stocks in town, and other forms of money getting, should be investigated, it was brought out, A concise example was given by Mr. Charles Brobst, who was approached by a stock promoter for a list of wealthy prospects.' He advised him to see the Secretary of the Chasmfcer of Commerce, and from last accounts the - stranger hurriedly left town. Advertising schemes of doubtful val-ue were also discussed. Some method to combat these fin-ancial drains, to fully investigate the claims, will, be put in tangible form by next meeting, probably by form-ing a Vigilance Committee. Mr. E. J. Poole, a prominent bus-iness man, and ¡president and vice-president respectively of the Reading Chamber Of Commerce, addressed the Lititz organization. He spoke on in-, dustries, of the trend to move in-dustries to the southwest, and to coimjbat this by getting diversified in-dustries that will fit" into the com-munity. A Chamber of Commerce is only as strong as the effort put back of it. . Criticism can be expected. •These were some of the thoughts he brought home. Herman H. Kopp, connected with the National organization, told of the work of that body. New members added were Dr. M. H. Yoder, Dr. S. R. Posey and A. R. Keller. . The treasurer reported that $837.00 in dues was collected, $146.51 was dispersed, leaving a balance of $690.99 'Warwick Boys" Catch Trout Charles Bricker and Clarence and Tahlmian I. Brubaker on Tuesday made a fair catch of trout, fishing several streams near Miayto-wn and near Lititz. The largest one, 13% inches, was- taken out of a small stream less than four miles from Lititz. Old timers recall the days when trout abounded in the Lititz Springs Creek, and in season not only our local sportsmen, but also fisher-men from distant points could be found along its banks Today, how-ever, there are few streams nearby that -afford good trout fishing and the big ones are rarely found. Evans Brothers Bought Confec-tionery Business Raymond and Arthur Evans bought the confectionery and dry cleaning-business conducted by J. Albert Hall in the Malta Building on East Main Street.

S ^ r o u n d O u r TOÏPU Here ' are two true stories with a similarity in the ending* ;• A man wiho had eaten a big meal at the restaurant of Harry Martin in New York, had no money with which to pay his check. "Let me leave my hat here, for security," he said. "I just live around the corner and can get the cash in a few minutes." Martin consented. The stran-ger put a new fedora on the hatrack. Hours later, when Martin inspected the hat, he found it was his own. After having gasoline put in a. car he was driving, David Gil-day informed the filling station proprietor, Claire P. Caffrey, of Sferanton, that he had no money, but would leave his watch as security. Caffrey agreed, but upon looking at the time-piece recognized it as his own which had ¡been stolen from him while he was measuring out the motor fuel. A Philadelphia visitor in town on Saturday evening commented on the excellent music rendered by the 104th. National Guard Band, and the up-to-date selec-tions in their repertoire. Peo- , pie in Lititz and vicinity, he - noted, while attentive listeners, fail to give liberal applause. Nothing is appreciated more by leader and his bandsmen than hearty, spontaneous applause. I t makes them warta up to am audience keying them to a pitch where they will' do their best. Lititz music lovers should re-member this in the future. Don't be -afraid to applaud and the musicians will repay it by giving their best. Everybody likes to see his efforts appre-ciated. Praise goes "a great way. Try it out at the next concert. A party of autoists asked a Lititz resident where the antique room in town is located. The roan asked said he never heard of it but the questioner insist-ed that there was such a plaice. Another by-stahder then gave out the information that there is a room of antiques in the Moravian ,S. S. chapel. It is seldom that stranger's ask to see the antiques, as few town people know that it exists. I f an effort were made many m«re things could be added to the collection, as there are many anBi(|.ues stored away at the Moravian church and Linden Hall. A snapper turtle weighing nineteen pounds and another one of five pounds were caught this week by Harry Bedger, of Clay, while at a little creek five miles north of Lititz. It undoubtedly was the largest snajpper caught in this section for many years. Gldes residents remember in years gone by when .Jerre Kof-roth, who conducted the old Stnrgis House, -secured an im-mense turtle that was caught in this section and turned it in-to soup. It was a free treat and apparently half the town was there. The turtle was so large that it walked away with a man standing on his back. This same proprietor also held a wolf chase. It was also at this ho-tel that a Canadian lynx, shot - at Kissel Hill, was put on ex-hibition. . . J Reunion of Virginians A reunion of Virginians will be held in the Springs'.Park on Friday, Aug, 3rd, from - morning until evening.

On Saturday, July 7th he was in- a bad auto truck accident at the. Square at Lititz; on Saturday, a week later, he bid his family good-bye -and left for parts unknown. Saturday evening, in a few words, he told his wife he was leaving for good and would go to another state out of ¡reach of the law. He banded each of his tw'o small children some change, and told his wife not to at-tempt to have him apprehended. He gave no reasons for leaving. It is said he drew out his bank account in full. Mjrs. Sheneberger and children are now living with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Goetz, East Front street. The case has been reported to the state police.

Seriously III Aged Henry Wike, who resides with his daughter, Mrs. William Stauffer, is critically ill. Clarence Wert is suffering with an infected right-hand caused by a slight - scratch. - , : : Editor Lititz Record: I t was with a great deal of plea-sure I read the description story of the Tri-Mius boys' fishing trip to Cape May several weeks ago. I was somewhat ~a!pprehensive: for fear the weather might mot prove very favor-able for deep sea fishing. A rough sea wotild have taken, all the pleasure out of the trip, but as it proved, the day was ju-st about perfects To add to the pleasure was the good news that they m/ade such a fine catch. Sorry I wasn't enabled to join the party, but it just couldn't be, so that's ih-at. ^ Now as to the mirth-provoking ballon fish, which no doubt proved very amusing to the boys, permit me to correct an erroneous impression regarding, theimi. Had-they {seen what I brought home with me on the Fourth perhaps they would have changed their minds, regarding them. I had two of those ¡wooden plates used for bait packed full of balloon fish, cleaned, and the roe from about fif-teen of them. Believe it or not, shad roe isn't in it with the roe of a ball-oon fish. And the fish themselves are just about the finest eating that any one could wish for. I am well aware, many fishermen discard them, biit not when I 'm there as I take home all I can get. ;So the next time, do not1 discard the very best of all fish. They haven't any bones, just a rib through the center, and fried in bread or cracker crumbs to a crisp brown y!ou have a dish fit for. a king. Quite a number of fishermen are getting wised up on them, so that at times I do not get as many as I would other-wise. So get wise and if you ever get the opportunity, try them), and you'll be delighted. Harry W, Seaber An Unusual Rote!
