Lititz Record Express

              B U R K H A R T ' S town THE
T4IF,
Here is pleasant news. The
Senior Class will present, next
month, "Jane Eyre". The play was
adapted from the novel of Char-lotte
Bronte, nineteenth century
authoress of Yorkshire, In Eng-land.
Charlotte, with sisters Emily
and Anne, published—at a cost ot
$240—a book of poems of which
two copies were sold. In 1817
Charlotte's 'Jane Eyre' was pub-lished,
making a great hit. In 1854,
at the age of 3S, she married her
father's curate, and died the fol-lowing
year, of consumption. . . .
We sincerely hope that the Seniors'
' Jane Eyre" will become our "Jane
Eyre".
Speaking of plays, I wonder if
anyone has been working on an
idea for play production in the
Band Shell next Spring and Sum-mer.
Wouldn't it be fine, an open
air theatre, presenting plays com-parable
to Shakespeare's? Ibsen?
O'Neill? Why not?
The other day I noticed that the
clock in the Hardware Store on
Broad St. was missing. Nothing
there but the support which had
backed its prophecies for so many
years. And my childhood, which
had hung on a nail for many
moons, returned again. And I re-membered
those days: playing
'cop and robber' in the park, 'mom
and pop' in the parlour, and 'hide
the thimble' in the kitchen. Pitch-ing
horseshoes, listening to the
blacksmith's rough jargon, sliding
down the shack roof, sneaking a
smoke on the railroad tracks, dry-ing
"Indian Cigars" on the freight-house
roof, smoking them. We
were happy then, happier than we
can ever be again Civiliza-tion
is so tiresome.
The automobile is swiftly becom-ing
the "parlour of America." It
is estimated that on an average we
spend a tenth of our unsleeping
hours in automobiles. When I
was a kid, big sister entertained
the boy friend in the parlour, but
now the parlour is in the car.
Without a car, there is no wooing,
no courtship, no marriage. More
proposals are made in the auto
than in any other place. In mod-ern-
built homes there is no parlor.
There is no need. In the car, in
the car, where I smoked my first
cigar

Vol. LX Lititz, Lancaster County, Pa., Thursday, Nov. 11, 1937 No. 10
Nation Urged
To Guard Its
Liberties
A WARWICK
WOMAN WRITES
Freedom Given Up to
Government Hard to
Regain Capt. Groff
Tells Rotary Club
Less brainstorms and more prac-tical
common sense are needed in
America today declared Capt. John
M. Groff, of Lancaster, in a stir-ring
Armistice Day talk before the
Lititz Rotary Club in the Genera!
Sutter Hotel Tuesday evening.
Liberties given up to the gov-ernment
in this age of "a confusion
of tongues preaching isms and un-holy
ideas", he said, will only be
regained by civil war or something
worse. He urged adjustment of
worthwhile new ideas to meet
changed conditions, and that the
American people depend upon their
own sound judgment to solve
problems.
Developing his talk from an
Armistice Day theme, Capt. Groff
said in conclusion:
"People will sometime realize
that there is too much politics in
government and entirely too much
propaganda in politics."
"People will certainly awaken to
the dangers of propaganda which
threatens destruction of their free-dom
and liberties."
"Someday the people will escort
the radicals to the wood shed for
a good old fashioned spanking."
"What America needs today is
less brain storms and more practi-cal
common sense."
Sportsmen Remind
Hunters of Contests
The Lititz Sports m ens Associa-tion
calls the attention of its mem-bers
to the contests it is conduct-ing,
offering prizes for the heavi-est
rabbits and pheasants shot
this season. Many are passing up
the contests, believing their bags
are too light to bother about enter-ing.
Both birds and bunnies are
surprisingly light in weight, offi
cials of the club say.
The prize« a r e a gunning coat,
hunting boots and two boxe% of
shells.
Here is something we overheard
at the Community Show that we
forgot to mention last week. A
middle-aged woman was talking to
two young girls—"Well, Sadie and •
Dora, I'm surprised to see you
here. Did you come over from
Schoeneck just to see our Com-munity
Show?" Sadie was honest.)
."Ach, no", she giggled, "we came
to be went with, but we ain't been
yet."
How to dispose of fallen leaves
is a problem that is on the wane,
for most of the trees are bare and
the leaves have been gathered and
burned, or buried for use as a fer-tilizer
next Spring. These tumble
weeds ¡that are floating about are
more of a nuisance than leaves,
hard to get hold of with a rake or
your hands—now you have them—
now you don't. They seem to have
blown in from nearby fields. When
we were children we had another
name for them. We called them
Mrs. Wises', because we saw that
they had the same habits as a cer-tain
Mrs. Wise in our neighbor-hood.
She was everywhere, poking
her nose into unexpected places,1
going from one back yard to an-other,
and, we hesitate to say it,—
hard to get rid of. She covered
the neighborhood lik4 a beach-1
comber covers the waterfront.

Joseph W. Sheckard, music sup-ervisor
of the Lititz Schools, took
a group of pupils to Lancaster
Sunday afternoon to hear a con-cert.
Arriving at the place the
concert was to be given, he learned
the affair is this coming Sunday.
We have heard of the very
wealthy folk of our fair land bath-itig
in Champagne.
Evidently, Roy Weaver, of
Spruce St. thought he was in their
class when, by mistake, he almost
bathed in t h e roast beef broth that
was to be used for food at a Hal-loween
party at O. K. Lodge on
Friday night.
Ted Stauffer has opened a
"diner" in a small building he
built cm the Northwest corner of
the square.
A visitor in town yesterday ask-ed
a resident if that was Lititz'
new postoffice.
We have a Pied Piper in Lititz!
William Stuaffer, when feeding the
squirrels in the park, whistles for
them. Not only squirrel's come

HOLD HALLOWEEN PARTY
Mr. and Mrs. Eber Foltz;
Orange Street, entertained at a I
Hallowe'en party at their cottage,
Saturday evening. Decorations,
games and refreshments were in!
keeping with the season. The
guests were: ' Mr. and Mrs. Willis
Seitzinger, Mr. and Mrs. Floyd
Stark and son Billy, Mr. and Mrs.
Norman Brubaker, Mr. and Mrs.
Paul Stark, Mr. and Mrs. William
Seitzinger, Miss Ruth Carper. Mr.
and Mrs. Elmer Ehrhart and son,
Mr. and Mrs. Leroy Engle, Charles
Rollman, Mr. and Mrs. Carl Foltz
and daughter, Patsy, Mr. and Mrs.
Sylvan Gochaneur and son, Ronald
all of Lititz, Mrs. Reed Graybill,
Junior, Sara and Sidney Graybill,
Mr. Cooper of East Petersburg,
Mr. and Mrs. Cameron Weitzel and
son, Paul of Manheim, Mr. and
Mris. Walter Ruthart, of Columbia,
Mr. and Mrs. Harry Singer and
daughter, Thelma, Mrs. Molly Bom-berger,
of Lebanon, and Mr. and
Mrs. Adam Weitzel, of Reading.
It was two o'clock in the morn-ing
and we were sound asleep
when the plaster fell from the
kitchen ceiLing. It was cracked for
weeks but we thought it would
hold until Spring. When it fell,
great was the sound thereof and
we thought we were being shot,
robbed or earthquaked. But upon
brave husband's stealthy investiga-tion,
"it was only the plaster fall-;
ing", said he. "Only" sighed we.
"Anything but this." Having been,
^ shot at; we might have been
missed and how canzone be robbed!
when there are no valuables to j
steal. And being earthquaked, we
are told, shakes up sluggish livers.
But falling plaster! Ah, here is
a calamity indeed! You see this
was our second experience in two
years with falling plaster, and the
memory of the other fall was
white and fresh in our minds.
Well, came the dawn and, before
we could feed the family and send
them off to work and to school,
we had to sweep the kitchen twice
and wash off all flat surfaces such
as sink and table, eating plaster;
with one's grapenuits is not con- i
ducive to good digestion. The
family out of the house, we trie«
to track down a plasterer but they
are just about as elusive as
plumbers. Finally one promised to
come the following evening—but in
the meantime what to do! We
see-sawed between two courses of
action—to clean up the room at
once or to clean after the plasterer
had finished his work. We decided
on both, or, we should say, all
! three, for we cleaned before, after
| and since. And would you believe
^•e g t i it, we still see traces o£ white grit-ty
dust in the corners of the room.
We are probably like the pessimist
who, when given the choice be-tween
two evils, chooses both.
Now we write in our most fierce
and snarling tone. Where is that
man who put the original piaster
on our kitchen? Let hiim come to
the mat, we can pull hair like
anything!
When the trailer salesman call-ed
on us last summer to tell us
how glorious life could be in a
trailer, to leave all your worries
of housekeeping behind you ami
live a life of ease, we laughed at
the idea then, but now we are busy
sending for literature and price
lists. We are told that there is no
plaster used in the construction of
trailers!
and Mrs. Mary Dengate were re-elected
to the board, making the
nine members.
The officers will take over their
duties on January 1 and will or-ganize
at their first meeting. At
that meeting they will also vote on
three of their number to serve for
three years, three for two years
and three for one year, which will
mean that three new directors will
be elected at t;he next annual meet-ing
and at each annual meeting
thereafter with no director being
able to succeed himself without a
year having elapsed.
Increased use of the Lancaster
General Hospital, Rossmere Sana-torium
and St. Joseph's Hospital
by non-paying Litiitz residents re-sulted
in the incresae of the quota
this year.
It was explained at the meeting
last year the General Hospital ren-dered
$1,138 worth of unpaid ser-vice
to Lititz residents; the Ross-mere
Sanatorium, $1,770 worth;
and $390 at St. Joseph's Hospital.
The Lancaster County Society for
Crippled Children rendered $74
worth of service; the Blind Asso-ciation,
$178 worth.
As $2,000 was appropriated to
the Lancaster County Welfare Fed-eration
towards these three hospi-tals
and the Red Cross, the service
was $1,551 in excess of the amount
budgeted in the past year.
The cost of maintaining the
Community Nurse and operating
her automobile through the past
year was $1,550, t h e secretary's re-port
showed; but $1,169 was paid
for by patients or by two insur-ance
companies, leaving only $381
as the cost of nursing to be borne
by the Community Chest.
Mrs. Workman's report also
showed that the Chest helped 24
families in the past year, as com-pared
with 47 in the year before.
The amounts spent for various
items were: food, $893; milk, $104;
coal, $256; medicine, $8; clothing,
$11; Christmas baskets, $29; total,
$1,303

of the group since community
shows were held -here, in the chair,
each department of the show was
called upon and each reported the
results of the fair as far as his
work was concerned. As a whole,
the reports indicated that the 1937
show was highly successful.
C. S. Zartman, the treasurer,
reported receipts thus far of $1599,
with approximately 200 more ex-pected
at any time. Payment Of
bills amounted to $1120, with bills
of $497 on hand to be paid and
