Lincoln Pictures
On Display Here
C. S. Zartman Places Part of
His Collection On View
In Store Window
C. S. Zartman, North Broad St.
merchant, has a unique window
display in his store this week—
pictures of all descriptions and of
all sizes and colors, of the great
Civil War president, Abraham Lin-coln,
whose birthday we celebrate
tomorrow.
For the past 25 years, Mr. Zart-man
has made the collecting of
pictures of Lincoln and Washing-ton
a real hobby of his. He has
framed each one which you will
see in the store window, but he
has lots more of Lincoln.
Every time he has picked up a
magazine or paper and come across
a good picture of "Abe," Mr. Zart
man would cut it out to save and
put with his collection.
He has about as many pictures
of the Father of our Country, and
because of the similarity of win-dow
display will not use a Wash-ington
window this year. He may
x/laee a Washington picture win-dow
next year, however, so we can
get a chance to see his Washington
picture collection, or at least a
part of it.
LENTEN MEDITATION
Mrs. Hertz Greets 300 Guests BURKHART'S
At Her "Golden Jubilee
More than 300 friends extended
glad greetings to Mrs. J. L. Hertz
on Tuesday in honor of her Golden
Jubilee when her flower-filled home
on East Main Street was open
from 2 to 10 for everyone to call.
It was not exactly an "open
house," but rather a revival of an
old Moravian custom in vogue here
many years ago. The 50th birthday
or Golden Jubilee of anyone then
was an invitation to all friends to
call. And so, Mrs. Hertz, wishing
to greet as many of her friends as
possible on her 50th birthday, held
a jubilee.
"Will anyone come?" she asked
herself that morning. Her ques-tion
was answered as quickly as
the hour of two arrived, for from
then on a steady stream of peopl°
came and went, kissing her, greet-ing
her, or giving her a gift or a
souvenir of the occasion. Every
available spot was filled with flow-ers
and by evening hurried calls
were sent to neighbors for vases to
hold more that kept coming. Gifts
of all kinds were received, many
handsome and beautiful things.
There are only 480 minutes in
the time she received guests, so

THE GLORIOUS GOSPEL
A Message of the Great Apostle
Paul to the Galatians—and To Us
By Rev. Calvin P. Swank, D.D.
I suppose there is more written
about the letter of St. Paul to the
Galatians than about any other of
the famous Apostle's writings, but
it is so rich and suggestive in fun-damental
Christian thought that
even a few more pages will not
exhaust it. Like Africa, which
provides the world with most of its
diamonds, radium, gold and copper,
with resources merely discovered,
so Paul's letter to the Galatians,
known for its riches of Christian
truth, is always capable of yielding
abundantly more to the seeker.
;ust off the Northern shores of
the Mediterranean and East of the
Aegean Sea is a country known to
us as Asia Minor, or Turkey. Across
the Tarus Mountains and not far
inland, was a section known in
PauPs day as Galatia. It embrac-ed
the towns of Iconium, Lystra
and Derbe, places the Apostle vis--

C. of C. To Hear Report
Of Committees Tuesday
Reports of committees named to
work on projects concerning the
Springs Park will be heard at the
February meeting of the Lititz
Chamber of Commerce, Tuesday
evening a"t 8 o'clock in the Fire
House.
These reports concern the pro-posal
of erecting a band shell and
the sanitation of the Park, and will
be of interest to everyone in town.
All members of the Chamber are
urged to be on hand and all others
interested are invited to attend.
There are rumors about which
give you an idea that the worthy
citizens living in the more remote
sections of South Broad Street will
petition for new light standards.
After all, the metropolitan section
of town doesn't end at Orange St.
Furthermore, visitors from the
South won't be "kept in the dark"
so long.
There is no escape from the lat-est
vulgarism in the annals of
neighborhood slang. A few years
ago it was "Oh, yeah?" spoken
with a sort of post-depression
sneer. But now that prosperity
has rounded the corner on two
wheels, and "bank-night" is no
more news, we find a revised spirit.

Lititz High School's basketball
team faces its most important
game of the season tomorrow night

the League title, a defeat will blot
out their chances for the Section 2
division.

local floor Tuesday night placing
them in a tie for first place.
The team set a fast pace Tues-day
night to down the Neffsville
tossers, 48-29, before a crowd of
600 people, which packed the local
gym to overflowing.
The local tossers are practicing
hard for tomorrow night's fray,
realizing that a defeat will ruin
their chances. Lititz defeated the
Mountaineers here decisively, but
will need all their power to stave

their own court.
