Here May 18th; Fine Pro-gram
Being Prepared
The speaker at the dedication of
e Soldiers' Memorial on East Main
treet, on May 18, will be Senator
iseph R. Grundy, according to an
nnouncement last week by Prof. H.
i. Beck, chairman of the committee
n arrangements for the celebration.
The address of Senator Grundy
rill climax an afternoon of splendid
iptercises prepared for the unveil-ng
of the memorial.
The monument will be presented to
,he Borough of Lititz by Col. William
McCain, of the quartermaster gener-il's
office in Philadelphia, on behalf of
the United States Government. Bur-gess

Prof. Beck will relate the history
connected with the monument. Civic
organizations, headed by the Amer-ican

The monument commemorates the
death of 110 soldiers in the Conti-nental
Army, who were in the Lititz
Military Hospital, the Moravian S. S.
Chapel, between December 19, 1777,
and August 15, 1778.
Work of erecting the memorial was
started several weeks ago, and will
be completed by May 15. It was se-cured
by an act of Congress, through
the efforts of the late Congressman
W. W. Griest, who was successful in
his third attempt to have appropria-tion
made for it.
A hundred-fo'ot wall with- an or-nate
gateway is in front of the monu-ment,
which is of granite. A bronze
tablet on the shaft recounts the his-torical
facts briefly. At the top is
the emblem of the spread eagle. The
shaft is fourteen feet high
Senator Grundy is well known m

The clear bright Easter dawn was
an incentive for impressive sunrise
services to open the day in the Mora-vian
Church when several hundred
Moravians of this community and
visitors from nearby cities gathered
in the cemetery before dawn to take
part in the sunrise service, after hav-ing
been summoned in the usual fash-ion
by the trombone choirs that had
been playing throughout town since
early in the morning.
Long before daybreak townspeople
and visitors from neighboring towns
and cities wended their way to the
church as the trombone choirs of
about forty men, divided into two
sections toured the streets playing the
age-old chorals in front of the houses
of the communicants and announcing
the arrival of the happy Easter and
calling them to church for the cele-bration.
/
The congregation this year was one
of the largest in history and perfect
spring weather aided in making the
service all the more impressive. Hun-dreds
of the visitors did not attend
the first part of the service, which
was held in the church, but went di-rectly
to the burying plot, Where they
were joined by the congregation a
short time later.
Entrance to the church service was
hardly obtainable owing to the large
crowd. The vestibule was crowded and
there, was standing room only in the
main auditorium.
The trombone choir led the proces-sion
to the cemetery from the church
and as the first flaming rays of the
early morning sun cast its rays over
the horizon old and young lifted high
their voices in joyful celebration of
the glorious Easter, just as the Mora-vians
have been doing since the first
sunrise service in Saxony almost two
hundred years ago.
Easter was never so elaborately
observed in the St. Paul's Lutheran
Church as when a sunrise service at
6 o'clock in the church opened the
day's program.
A very large attendance was re-ported
at the Sunday School and the
morning church service. In the after-noon
three babies were baptized by
the pastor, Rev. W. R. Sammel, as
follows: Lois Marie, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Charles W. Dussinger,
of Kissel Hill; Mary Doris, daughter
of Mrs. Lovina Keenan, and Robert,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert I. Hagey.
At the morning service Mrs. Lovina
Keenan was admitted to membership,
being received from the Shady Side
Baptist Church, Pittsburgh, by cer-tificate.
At 6 P. M. the Primary Department
gave an Easter program. In the eve-ning
a beautiful Easter pageant en-titled
"Crown the Risen One," was
presented by the members of the
Junior, Intermediate and Senior De-partments
of the Sunday School.
In the United Brethren Church sev-enteen
persons were received into
communicant membership: by bap-tism—
«Charles Whiter aft, Irene Whit-craft,
John Whitcraft, Cora David-son,
Arlene Bender, Mae Woy, Viola
Evans, Violet Howard, Bettie Wertsch,
Mary Weidman, Clara Weidman, Eth-el
Weidman, Irene Clair; confession of
faith—'Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Whitcraft,
Margaret Martin, Vernon Ranck, Vi-olet
Witmyer. The following three
infants were baptized: Larry Stauffer,
Patricia Clair, Barbara Lou Light.
The Rev. H. J. Kline read his an-nual
report to the congregation of
the Evangelical Church before going
to the annual conference at Reading.
According to this report the member-ship
of the cogregation is 337. Six
members were received during the
past year, five were baptized and six
died. He made 485 pastoral calls.
The following were the financial re-ceipts:
Trustees, $707.85; Stewards,
$2,561.83; Sunday School, $1,211.97;
Missionary Money, $628.37. The
amount used at home was $3,027.24,
and the amount sent to help others,
$1,244.01

Sunday morning service by Rev. W. E.
Seesholtz, and in the eveningly D. M.

the absence of the pastor.
fire House 'Store'
is Robbed of $15
Tobacco and Candy Cases and
Pool Box Pried Open;
No Clues Found
The theft of between $15 and $18
from the cash boxes in the tobacco
and candy cases and in the pool box
at the Fire House was discovered last
evening when preparations were being
made for the monthly meeting of the
Lititz Fire Company. The robbery
may have occured Tuesday night or
yesterday.
The three show cases that hold the
cigars, cigarettes and candy kept in
the Fire House for the members had
been pried open, with a screw driver
or some similar instrument. The pool
money, that is paid by members for
the privilege of playing on the tables,
was kept in a metal container, which
was locked. That had been pried open
also.
Ed. Hall, a trustee of the company,
discovered the robbery last evening
when he arrived to take the money
from the boxes to turn over to the
financial officers at the meeting. Mr.
Hall saw at once that money had been
taken, as he had counted over the
change and gone over the stock of the
cases Tuesday night before going home.
He estimates that the thief obtained
between $15 and $18, depending upon
how much had been put in yesterday.
No clues other than the marks on the
cases were found. Three or four
years ago the cases were robbed, but
the loot was small. .

School Glee Clubs to Give
Operetta On Wednesday
Leaving the practice of many years,
the combined Glee Clubs of Lititz
High School will give one concert
next Wednesday at 8 P. M., in the
form of an operetta. The one chosen
is "Sylvia," by Maude Elizabeth Inch,
with music by W. Rhys Herbert. The
plot is one of very decided contrast.
Lady Sylvia grows tired of the poetic
advances of her lover, DeLacy, and
persuades Betty, a farmer's daughter,
who is tired of her over-bearing
farm lover, William, to change clothes
with her. With the aid of a magic
flower they are both able to exchange
robes without being detected by their
lovers. The culmination of the plot
and the final conviction that her own
lover is after all the dearest, brings
to a close one of the prettiest and
most humorous stories imaginable.
The cast is as follows: Sylvia, Lor-raine
Habecker; Betty, Ere Seaber;
DeLacy, Carl Bachman; William
Howard Burkhart; Molly, Ruth Sea-ber;
Dolly, Esther Miksch; Polly, Ver-na
Hertzler; Prince Tybbytum, Rob-ert
Posey; Arabella, Margaret Kof-roth;
Araminta, Sylvia Longenecker;
Robbin, Richard Musser. The follow-ing
are the members of the choruses:
Maymakers, Anna Rose, Marguerite
Pfautz, Evelyn Hershey, Maud Ben-der,
Dorothy Garman, Dorothy Spa-cht,
Florence Stauffer, Florence But-zer,
Dorothy Heisley, Arlene Beck;
Farmers' Daughters, Verna Hertzler,
Ruth Seaber, Esther Miksch, Mildred
Eicker, Margaret Miller, Beatrice
Bomberger, Helen Leed, Janet Huber,
Dorothy Moyer, Ruth Snavely, Edith
Wertsch, Era Seaber; Farm Lads,
Bruce Corbet, Richard Zartanan, Rich-ard
Rader, Wilbur Garman, Woodrow
Neidermyer, Harry Neidermyer, Lloyd
Sheaffer, Thomas Maharg, Theodore
Herr, Henry Sturgis, Robert Getz and
Amos Bucher.
The chart for reserved seats will be
open at Moyer's drug store. The ad-mission
will be 35 cents.
Borough Council, supported by the
approval of more than a score of
Lititz business men, has adopted the
plan placed before the town by the
Edison Electric Company for a new
system of street lighting in the busi-ness
district. The action was taken at
a special session of Council Tuesday
night.
And, furthermore, in deference to
the expressions of many of those
present, Council also decided to con-tinue
the lights East on Main Street
to Linden Hall Seminary. The origin-al
plan called for the lights to run as
far as Cedar street, but since, lights
could be added or taken away, to suit
the best needs of the town, it was an
easy matter to add several more
standards.
The system will be bought, instal-led
and maintained by the Electric
Company, the only cost to the borough
being a certain sum per light per
month on a 5-year contract.
The meeting Tuesday night came
two weeks after a previously called
public meeting at which the plans
were first made public. At the first
meeting, few merchants turned out
and so, although the councilmen felt
that the residents were in favor of
the step, they called another meeting
for Tuesday and prepared to take def-inite
action then.
Shortly after 8 the council chamber
was filled and the meeting was called
to order by E. B. Weber, Council
President. He reviewed what had oc-curred
so far, told of the means pro-posed
to pay for the current used and
laid the plans for the system on the
table. After his talk, Burgess Brene-man
made a few remarks, citing that
Lititz needed the system badly and
hoping that it would meet with ap-proval.
The meeting was then thrown open,
and every person present spoke a few
words on the subject. Without ex-ception,
the 25 or 30 men approved
and endorsed the move. It was then
that the matter of extending the
lights to Linden Hall was brought up.
Several men dwelt on that end of
the subject, and accordingly, when
Council acted, they voted to include
those lights. The decision will be
transmitted to the Electric Company
and a contract and specifications will
be drawn up. When the approved
contracts are signed, details' of the
lights will be published. It is not
known definitely just how long a time
will be required for the system to be
installed, but that will be announced
later.
It has been suggested that when the
time comes for turning on the lights
for the first, a celebration be held
with a carnival spirit prevailing and
possibly a street dance or parade i:
the newly lighted district.
Council is to be congratulated upr
taking a step forward in the mat
of lights, and it is hard to beli-that
anyone will rue the action w
the two main streets of town ce
brilliantly lighted.
Pinchot Meets Friends Here,
Makes Address At Square

his platform and pledges in his

Rothsville Debaters Lose
