Spacht Donates Community Building Property Bordering On The Park Seen Ideal Location As Community Center Purchases Structure From M. E. Suavely; Announces He Will Give Entire Property To The Community For Use Of Public Ralph M. Spacht, well-known cated to those ¡boys and girls who local business man, announced this week that he has purchased the former John M. Helman warehouse, located at the Park and Spruce Street, and intends to make a gift of the property to this community as a Community House. The property a large three-story frame structure, is ideally located facing the park and containing numerous large rooms which could easily be adapted to the purpose of local organizations. Other than that he definitely intends to turn the building over to the community for use as a Community House, he has not finally decided exactly to what organization or organizations the building will be deeded, Mr. Spacht declared today. “I bought the building because I felt it would make an ideal community center and I want to turn it over to the community without any legal restrictions but with certain moral restrictions,” Mr. Spacht asserted. “I want it to be used as a building where the American Legion can make its headquarters the same as Boy Scouts', Girl Scouts, Sportsmen and any other organization or group.

No liquor and no gambling would be permitted—and those are the moral obligations. “As for the details—they must be worked out--then I will make a gift of the building and do not attend to haveany futher say as tc the manner in which it is run.” Gift of the building solves a problem which has been under consideration by a large group of local organizations for the past several years. More than a year ago the Chamber of Commerce called together representatives of all local clubs and organizations in an effort to have a community building project launched. The Helman warehouse originally was built with public funds here around the turn of the century. Built by the borough the structure was turned over to the General Cigar Company when it agreed to locate here. Later it was used for a short period as a club. The structure was sold at public sale to M. E. Snavely. Snavely sold the property this week to Mr. Spacht. Lions Sponsor Blood Typing For Residents Classifications Would Prove Valuable In Cases Of Emergency Wacs Get the Message Through f * r ' n A drive to classify the type of blood of hundreds of residents of the borough and nearby districts to be used by local physicians in j cases of emergency, was announc- i ed this week by members of the Lititz Lions Club. A group of five technicians will set up equipment at the firehouse Thursday evening, March 9, to take the blood tests. These technicians will come here from Lancaster hospitals. In the past there have been several instances where blood of a certain type was needed quickly but could not be obtained inasmuch as there was no record of local persons having the type of blood needed, members of the committee explained in urging the public here to volunteer for the project. The technicians will remain on duty from 6 P. M. throughout the evening and it is hoped that several hundred persons will permit their blood to be classified. ‘‘Lititz has supported every war effort in a fine way. We now have an opportunity to co-operate in a very important civilian project which will be equally valuable long after the war is ended,” Dr. I. Siegel, one of the members of the committee, explained. Other members of the committee are Harry Irwin, Alvin Frey and Clyde Benner. * '■*•*■* * * - “.«we* ' ’■fili- Eric Grimwade To Speak Monday Nite Public Invited To Attend Rotary Institute Of Internationa!
