R. A. Zeller Writes Of
Great Alaskan Forest
R. A. Zeller, son of the late Theo-dore
Zeller, a former Lititz boy who
is now Forest Supervisor, of the
Tongass National Forest, Alaska,
writes a very interesting story on
foresters, in that country in the
Ketchikan Alaska Chronicle, a daily
newspaper published in that city.
The Tongass National forest in
the southeastern part of Alaska em-braces
a large area of acres and there
is an estimated amount of 80 billion
feet of mercantile lumber available
in that area.
Mr. Zeller tells of the nature of the
land, the Government's policy in
handling the land and the manner of
patrolling the vast area.
Mr. Zeller is a brother of Mrs. J.
B. Herr, of town.
Pleasantly Surprised
N. G. Bachman was pleasantly
surprised Thursday evening at his

Paul's Lutheran Sunday School in

and flower beds like the one adjacent
to his home on N. Cedar Street, for
next summer.
Drop In And Get
State Tourists Guide
The RECORD has been sent
about fifty copies of "Pennsyl-vania
Highways," the 1929 edi-tion
of the Department of
Highways official tourist guide
and will giye them out to any-one
desiring a copy as long as
the supply lasts.
The new guide measures 9x12
inches and contains many scenic

useful to tourists and mo-torists
generally. It contains
48 pages, printed on buff-color-ed,
double-coated paper and is

weight paper to increase
durability.
Governor John S. Fisher util-ized

may be interpreted al-ways
as meaning "welcome."

4 15 SAVED
AS BEAT CAPSIZES
Lancaster Man and Woman
Among Victims of Accident
in River at Pequea
Walter Garrett, of Pequea, on bond
on charge of involuntary manslaugh-ter
in the deaths of four persons on
the Sesquehanna River early Sunday
morning when the Betty Lorraine, a
boat, capsized, maintains his inno-cence
in the face of three investiga-tions
into the tragedy. And Mrs. Gar-rett
sticks to her husband, declaring
he was interested in the business to
bring more patrons to the dances he
held at a hotel in order to increase his
meager earnings to feed his family
of six.
A woman and three men were
drowned and fifteen others saved in
the accident. The boat was returning
from a ride after having taken most
of the dance patrons to the wharf.
Various accounts of the accident were
told. It is believed that in the merry
making, the old side-wheeler over-turned.
A definite cause has not been
fixed.
Garrett had nothing to do with the
running of the boat, his. wife de-clares,
being along on the ill-fated
trip on the invitation of the man
running the boat.
League Picnic Today
The picnic of the Young Men's
Business League is being held this
afternoon at Graybill's Meadow, and
from advance reports quite a number
of members of the organization will
attend. Cars will be at the League
at 1 o'clock. The games committee
will start the program at 1.30 o'clock,
and has arranged a fine lot of events
for the merriment end of the day,
while the lunch to be served has been
described as worth walking a mile
to eat.
A representative of the Hocken-berry
System, undertaking a survey
of hotel needs in Lititz, has sent out
letters to merchants and leaders in
the community life relative to the
number of persons coming to Lititz
to visit them. In connection with the
meeting held last week the H. E.
Merriman Shoe Company could not
consider Lititz as a'possible site for
a factory as no suitable building was
available.
The Industrial Committee of the
League did all in their power to bring
to a close negotiations with the shoe
company, offering payment of their
taxes for ten years and a number of
other items, but the firm found they
could use none of the buildings in
town.
This interesting letter was sent to
us this week by a member of an auto-mobile
party of Chester County folks
motoring through Lititz and immedi-ate
vicinity on the Fourth. He says
in part:
"We took special note of the fact
that many farmers in your section
of the county celebrated the Nation's
birthday by working in the fields.
Your section of the Keystone State,
long noted as the richest agricultural
county in this part of the country,
gives every evidence of a big crop in
many lines. Many wheat fields were
cut while in other fields the new
mown hay sent up an aroma that
would be difficult to surpass at this
season of the year. The tobacco
plants were well under way, and here
and there we saw farmers in the
field cultivating the young plants and
knocking the weeds that lifted their
heads among the plants that mean so
much to your Lancaster County
farmers in a financial way.
"Agriculturally speaking your coun-ty
is a garden spot, and historically,
it is one of the most interesting in
this part of the State.
"The roads were fine and were a
source of much enjoyment except the
Lititz-Lancaster Pike, through a
picturesque country where the past
harmonizes pleasantly with the pre-sent.
"We little wondered while driving
through your rich county over the
holiday, that Lancaster County heads
the 67 counties in the value of agri-cultural
crops produced during the
past year. Her total for the past
season was over $18,000,000. Be-sides
the richness of her fields, we
were impressed with the general up-keep
and neat appearance of the barns
and homes located along our various
routes of travel."
Wins Guessing Contest
Jim Herner, of North Cedar St.,
was the winner of the guessing con-test
conducted last week at Pfautz
Brothers Store in connection with the
display of one of the largest suits of
overalls in the world. His guess of
810 yards of thread used in making
the suit was nearest to 823, the cor-rect
number. He received a suit of
overalls. Two booby prizes, pairs of
gloves, were awarded to Chas. Good,
of Lititz, and to P. W. Flory, of
Brunnerville.
W. C. T. U. Hears Readings
Miss Ella Smeltzer led the devo-tions
at the meeting of the W. C. T.
U. on Monday evening. Readings
were given by Mrs. Raymond Dubs,
Mrs. J. K. Mathers, Miss L. A. Weit-zel,
Miss A. V. Grosh and Mrs. Mary
Miksch. It was decided to send a
dollar to the National Reform Asso-ciation.
Mrs. J. K. Mathers, Mrs. M. C.
Demmy and Mrs. Morris Kauffman
were appointed a committee to ar-range
a program for the annual meet-ing
to be held on the lawn of the
Coleman Memorial Church at Bricker-ville
on Monday, July 29th. Auto-mobiles
will be leaving from the
Moravian Sunday School Chapel at
1.30 o'clock. Every officer and super-intendent
is expected to read her "an-nual
report at this meeting.
Delphian Club On Picnic
The Delphian Club had its annual
picnic at Mt. Gretna, where the mem-bers
were entertained by Mrs. W. II.
Muth on Tuesday. Eighteen members
were present and a number of visi-tors.
The following officers were elec-ted:
President, Miss Mary Huebener;
First Vice President, Miss Anna K.
Miller; Second Vice President, Mrs.
Florence Gibbel; Secretary, Mrs.
Frank Dengate; Treasurer, Mrs.
Norman Badorf. A vote of thanks
was tendered Mrs. Muth for the ex-cellent
luncheon.
Nearly Chokes On Teeth
Abram Rhoads, residing near the
old toll gate south of town, fell asleep
while reading on Sunday evening and
swallowed his upper set of artificial
teeth. A physician was called at
once, but his wife and father suc-ceeded
in removing the teeth when he
was on the verge of strangulation.
Stiffel Feeman Safes Approved
Safes manufactured by the Stiffel
Freeman Safe Company, of Lititz,
came through the annual tests con-ducted
by the Underwriters Labora-tories,
in Chicago, with the best rat-ings
ever achieved by any products
of the company last week. So tho-roughly
did they pass the tests that
they were given the A and B labels
of the Underwriters, certifying to
their ability to withstand fire.
Representatives of the company re-turned
this week from Chicago and
brought back with them reports that
put the Stiffel Freeman safes among
the leaders of the world, if not the
leader.
In the tests, the safes were sub-jected
to terrific heat, flames and gas
for several hours, and afterward were
opened. Papers placed inside were
found to be undamaged. After that
the safes were taken apart by the
Underwriters engineers for an in-spection
of the materials used in the
making.
Apple Picking Time
Tillman Stauffer, Lititz Route 3, is
preparing to pick a fine crop of yel-low
.transparent apples on his farm
this week.
Early varieties of apple trees look
good, but the late varieties seem to be
only fair.
Spraying to control the codling
moth, leaf rollers, bud moths, blotch
and apple scab should be done now, or
as soon as weather permits. No
spraying should be done on varieties
that are soon fit to eat or that bear
before the Smokehouse variety.
Lead arsenate, in the ratio of three
pounds to one hundred gallons, or
lime-sulphur in about two gallons per
100 make the best sprays. Applica-tion
should not be made when the
humidity is high nor with a coarse,
direct spray, says Farm Agent
Bucher.
