Miss Miller Highly Praised
At Testimonial DinnerGiven
By Rotary And Lions Clubs
Addresses Delivered By Dr. Landis Tangier And Dr.
Arthur P Mylin; Is Presented With Watch; Miss
Miller Accepts Position With Animal Trap Co.
'“She made the sparks fly—and
from those sparks came the 'build­ing
of fine characters, finer Ameri­can
citizens who went forth into
the world and made good, largely
because of what she taught them.”
Thus Dr. S. Landis Tangier, pre­sident
of the .Millersville State
Teachers’ College, characterized
the work done here by Miss Anna
K. Miller, at a testimonial dinner
held in her honor at the General
Sutter .Hotel Tuesday evening by
the Lititz Lions and the Lititz Ro­tary
Clubs.
Miss Miller retired from teach­ing
this year after serving for a
period of thirty-one years as prin­cipal
and science teacher in the
borough school. Dr. Tangier, who
also is retiring this year after a
third of a century of teaching, was
a Classmate of Miss Miller’s.
“Her influence will live long in
Lititz and in the school, long after
she has retired,” Dr. Tangier con­tinued.
“She has had many joyful
moment® but thirty-one years
teaching also has included many
lonely moments of discourage­ment.
But Miss Mailer has emerged
a finer character for the work she
has done in building fine charact-

iBasebal lin Philadelphia—Phila­delphia
has definitely established
itself as one of the best baseball
towns in the Major leagues during
the past seven weeks. Given a
chance to watch two clubs which
gave peppy performances on the
diamond and which entered every
game with a fighting chance to
win, the fans have turned out
-over 383,000 strong to see the
Phils and Athletics in theiir home
games. The (Phillies, according to
official figures released by the
01 ub in a paid advertisement
thanking the public drew 143,000
in 19 games. The Athletics, ac­cording
to unofliicial figures re­leased
every day, attracted more
than 240,000 in 29 games. And,
brother, “that ain’t bay.”
Lit whiter Deal—That Litwhiler
trade makes owner Bill Cox look
smarter every day. Many fans
criticized Cox and Manager Harris
severely when they turned over
Litwhiler and Naylor to the Cards
for Triplett, Adams and Clay. Ap­parently
Cox and Harris knew
what they were doing. A much-needed
shortstop, Charlie Brens-ter,
came to the 'Phils in exchange
for Clay after he failed to impress
at the shortstop position, and from
then on the teaim began to click,
winning nine out of twelve games
when this was written. I don’t
think I’ll question another of
Cox’s deals in the future. He must
be smart. After all, he cleaned
up a million or more in a very
short time. And then remember,
<00, the Phils had lost six in a
row with Litwhiler and Naylor in
their lineup.
Around Town—According to
last week’s “Sunday News” Devoe
Ember, local kegler of repute,
must have been some shakes of a
pitcher in his younger days. We
learn that Ember led Columbia
High School in batting with an
average of .429 and that he pitched
Columbia to victory eight times,
suffering defeat only once. All
this happened ten years ago.
Hay rides form the chief form
of sport in Lititz at present. Per­sonally
I think it’s cruelty to ani­mals.
Lititz bowlers will miss several
.well-known bowlers who will be
conspicious for their absence next
year. “Woodie” Neidermyer, cap-
‘ tain of the Dger is in the Navy and
(Marty Risser, the backup ball ex­pert.
of titp -Wildcats, departed
from town Monday to enter busi­ness
in New England shortly. A
number of others will also be
among the missing till next sea­son
rolls around again.
©t s ,” he concluded.
That Miss Miller distinguished
herself for ‘always being sanely
progressive,” was asserted by
County Superintendent of Schools
Dr. Arthur P. Mylin, who also
spoke.
“From her classroom came boys
who went on to make good in the
world of science and girls who
have equally distinguished them­selves,”
he said. “She has contri­buted
much to the lives with
whom ishe has come in contact.”
Dr. Mylin also kept the audience
in a good humor with a number
of stories relating to the days
when he played baseball on the
Lititz team and was a member of
the Rothsville band while ¡serving
as uperintendent of the Warwick
Township schools.
“I think it is an exceptionally
fine thing that you men of Lititz
have gathered here to pay tribute
to a teacher,” Dr. Mylin concluded.
Dr. M. H. Yoder, member of the
local school board, presented Miss
Miller with a watch, a gift from
the two local service clubs. He
also anounced that iMiss Miller
lias accepted a position with the
Animal Trap Company of America
and wished her luck in her new
position. She will sevre as man­ager
of transportation.
“This testimonial dinner means
so much to me that 1 cannot pos­sibly
try to express my feelings
in words,” Miss Miller responded.
"During my teaching career, I
have tried in my humble way to
teach not only how to serve but
character as well. I still feel that
there is a lot more outside the

Hay Rides
Become
Popular Here
Hay wagons—and reliable ol’
Dobbin—seem to be filling in a big
gap locally recently, providing
both transportation and a form of
recreation which had all but pass­ed
ouit of existence.
Members of the Masonic Lodge,
who meet in Manhelm, started the
thing off recently by using this
mode—although their version con­sisted
of one horse and one mule.
Monday evening the local lodge
members made their second trip
to' Manheim and reported it a big
success.
Other hay rides recently Includ­ed
an outing of employees of the
Loudon ¡Packing Company and an
outing of employees of the Sim­plex
Paper ’Box Company, who
went to Poplar Grove.

Fine Program
At The Park
On July 3
100th Lighting Of Candles
To Feature Patriotic
Celebration
Plans were completed here this
week for presenting a fine pro-*
:gra!m in the park Saturday, July
3, although decision to hold the
celebration the day before ¡the
fourth appears to have given local
merchants trouble in ascertaining
store closing hours over the week­end.
A movement was on foot here
today among local retailers to
have all local stores close Satur­day
evening, July 3, at 6 or 7 P. M.
in order that clerks and other em­ployees
might be enabled to view
the hundredth lighting o fthe can­dles
in the park.
•Many of the local retailers and
the local banks also were plann­ing
to remain closed Monday, July
5, when most of the nation will
observe the holiday. Definite plans
in this regard are expected to be
made during the next few dayis.
The pagenat, “The Queen of the
Candles,” in which Miss Dorothy
Sing will toe crowned “Queen” and
iwhen the 5,000 candles will be
lighted will prove the feature of
the Saturday afternoon and even­ing
program. Band concerts by
the High School and Community
bands also will mark the program.
The Baby Parade will pTove the
big feature during the afternoon.

Members of the Women’s Army

The speaker gave three qualifi­cations
for a leader of young
people: (1) He must understand
young people; (2) He must be in­terested
in the things young people
are interested in; and (3) He must
have real Christian character. He
then gave a number of suggestions
for the successful conducting of
young people’s work, among which
he said: Build your program for
the young people you have, and
not for those you do not have;
have a rounded out program, to
include all the young people and
all the young people’s activities;
and then do things together.
Fathers’ Day was observed on
Sunday morning, the sermon being

The Littz High School baseball
team played better than .500 per­centage
baseball this past season
altho Coaches Dechert and Reese
had to surrender three sure-fire
regulars to Uncle Sam in the per­sons
of James Waltz, Eugene Hom-berger
and Paul Zug. The loss
of the latter left the team without
an experienced pitcher, and pitch­ing
this year was the weak spot of
the team. Even this department
was looking better the latter part
of the season, especially the last
game, when McCarthy

Our bookkeeper makes the sug­gestion
that these local firemen,
while sitting out in front of the
firehouse, should spend their time
cutting the ends out of tin cans.
It’s her suggestion, not ours.

We know one local woman who
bought a pair of shoes, handed the
storekeeper her ration book, and
went home. She then found that
he had taken out the sugar coupon.
So -o-o-she went back and bought
another pair of shoes.

Not so with Frank Wolf, Linden

Post No. 1. Bill Fasnacht, who
was on duty at the control center,

Frank how many wardens had

sleepily and then had to admit
that he had slept soundly through
the whole thing.
