On this day we see .re-birth.
As the world wide nations listen
To the bells at Easter tide,
Hope will spring again to hold us
Ever to the Savior’s side.

We remember Jesus' too,

To shine ¡iorth in joy anew.

Church for the past several hun­dred
years, will be repeated again
this year as one o fthe features of
th local Eastertide observance.
Members of the trombone choir

A. M. The local congregation will
be assisted by Rev. Ruben ¡Boll-man
and members of the Lancas­ter

Rev. Charles Trunk
Addresses Rotary
The. annual Easier message was
presented to the members of the
Littz oRtary Club Tusday evening
by Rev. Charles Trunk, pastor of
St. Paul’s Lutheran Church,
In his talk, Rev. Trunk empha­sized
that the spirit of Easter is
the spirit of victory inasmuch as
Christ triumphed and rose from
the ead.
"Next week’s meeting will fea­ture
a Youth Week program con­sisting
of talks by Lamar Furlow,
.president of the student council;
Betty Cox, local art- Atúdent who
also will demonstrate sketching;
Fay Carpenter, state representa­tive
in home economics; and Gladys
Wike, of the editorial staff of the
Pretzelette.
Plans for starting a fund to erect
a recreational center or swimming
pool as a meroial to the men and
women serving Uncle Sam in the
armed forces, were discussed at a
meeting of the Lititz Chamber of
Commerce held Tuesday evening.
With members voting accord to
the .proposal, arrangements were
made for a meeting to be held next
month when representatives of lo­cal
organizations will meet with
the Chamber of Commerce to fur­ther
develop the plaii.
Expressing the opinion that the
establishment of a local recreation­al
center is too large an undertak­ing
for any one local group, M. C.
Demmy, president of the Chamber
of Commerce, asserted that the
support of all local organizations
and clubs will be solicited.
The tentative plans call for es­tablishment
of a general fund. The
goal will be to have this fund large
enough that the center could be
erected shortly after the end of
the current war and sould be dedi­cated
as a lasting memorial to the
men and women who answered
their nation’s call to arms. (
That the local group has not
given up hope of having Lititz
buses stop at the Pennsylvania
Railroad station in Lnacaster was
indicated when members voted to
renew their request and to induce
others here to do the same.
Harry Gorton, representing the
Rotary Club, explained plans for
having the Red Cross blood bank
here May 13 and asked for volun-
'teers to donate blood plasma to the
cause.
Christ Nissly reported that the
cost of preparing the 162 Victory
gardens here will practically ex­haust
the $119.56 taken in for this
purpose at the old-timers basket­ball
game recently.

such as several , names I
have forgotten, not keeping the

the stories in print, are missing.
Hence will give the stories as 1
remember them:
¡Edward, before becoming King
of England, visited Canada, and
froip there came to - th$ .United
¡States, on a , hunting expedition to
shoot buffako. Buffalo ^ill was
recommended to him as a guide
and an excellent choice it was, as
this American had a specially
trained ¡horse for the sport, and in
fact Cody was the best hunter of
this big game in the country. The
two men roughed It together and
became good friends, botb respect­ing
each other—the king of Buf­falo
hunters and king to be of
England. When they parted they
clasped hands and had a few part­ing
words. Edward complimented
Oody on Ihis fine marksmanship
and Cody replied that ¡his compan­ion
was a fine shot himself. As
man to man Edward commented
that he envied Cody as he could
carve his own future instead of
.having his life’s work made for
him ¡in advance. Then like the
sport he was he added, “.If you
ever come to London come around
¡to see me.” The meeting took
place in later years when King Ed­ward
was on the throne and he
proved to the American that he
had not forgotten.
After Buffalo Bill started his
show .he decided to take his Outfit
to London for a season. The Eng­lish
people didn’t understand what
