Town Community Show
Committees Named
If Borough Council is looking
around for a project that would
take advantage of the WPA offers
of government assistance and
would be of big benefit to Lititz,
here i,s the suggestion of an East
Main Street merchant that is an
excellent one. It is the opening of
Spruce Street from Second to Third
Avenues.
We never stopped to think much
about this street, but since the sug-gestion
was made to us, we feel
that, unless; the cost to the local
government would be too great, it
it something that can be pondered
over and perhaps undertaken.
It isn't something that MUST be
clone, yet in future years it very
likely will be done, so-why not now ?
Opening of Spruce Street between
the two Avenues would increase
the value of the land in that sec-tion,
would provide home sites that
should not be overly expensive and
would open up the Southwestern
end of town.
The idea is, certainly appealing,
but we have no notion of ho w much
it would cost in land damage, street
building and other expenses.
Discussion of places in which to
house the annual Community Show
and appointment otf some commit-tees
to handle the work took up th;
hour-long meeting of the Show
Association Monday night in tile
Fire House. Both, however, are
important early items, and with
committees named, advance work
on the 1935 celebration will get
underway.
The next meeting otf the Associa-tion
will be on Tuesday, Septem-ber
10, at 8 o'clock in the Fire
House, and all interested in the
show are invited to attend.
The dates of October 24, 2,5 and
26 were definitely set as the days
for this year's event. Our show
will follow that of Mt. Joy as is
the us,u,al custom. Many of the Mt.
Joy and Ephrata exhibitors also
exhibit here.
Several buildings, are available
for exhibit space for the show, it

Schools To Open
Here On Tuesday
Four New Teachers On Staff
For New Term ; Warwick
Twp. Pupils Also Return
Three men collared us on Main St. ^
the other day and pointed out. very
forcibly the drawtbacks to the plan.
They declared first of all, and
they should know what they are
talking about in this, line, that use
of soft water in boilers, pipes and
furnace hot water coils would do
away with the lime deposit that is
so troublesome, but in its stead we
would have even more trouble from
rust.
They brought up their second at-tack
very quickly, declaring that
soft water is a "flop" for drinking
purposes,. Lititz people would be
crazy, they say, to give up the good
water they now enjoy for ¡soft
water.
They wound up by saying that if
the proposition ever goes through
they will peddle the Springs water-in
bottles for drinking purposes in
town and have a good sale for it.
Hospital in the Legion. Amlbulante.
Because of a twisted muscle, in the
broken leg, the member was mot
set at the hospital until today.
The lad was running across Lin-coln
Avenue While playing hide-and-
seek with other boys, near his
home, when the accident occurred.
The boy and the driver of the
car are not related.
Soft Ball Game Tonight
The Lancaster Fruit Ten, mem-bers
of the Lancaster City League,
will play the All-Lititz soft ball
team on. the Lutz Field tonight at
6:30. The Fruit Ten played the
focal team here last week and gave
Manager Brookmyer's aggregation
a thorough trouncing. The All-
Lititz team feels that they can do
better against this fast team to-night.
Sunday Movie Issue Here
To Be Voted On In November
Voters of Lititz will decide at
the November election if movies
are to be shown here on Sundays.
Petitions bearing ¡several hundred
signatures and asking that the Sun-day
movie issue be placed before
the voters were presented to 'bor-ough
council, at its August meet-ing
Tuesday night, by Harry Chert-coff,
owner of the Weal theatre.
Council agreed that the issue be
placed on the ballots.
The action is in accordance with
the recent action of the state legis-lature,
which provides that the
communities may vote on the islsue
if petitions signed by persons num-bering
5% of the highest number
of. votes cast at a local election ask
such voting.
Three other county boroughs will
vote on Sunday movies, Columbia,.
Elizabethto'win, and Marietta, as will
Lancaster city.
