To Display
Xmas Candles
Seek To Have Every Home
Here Lighted As A War
Memorial
The plan to display small
electric candles from the win­dows
of homes throughout the
borough as a form of war mem­orial
met with an enthusiastic
response h ere this week.
This means of honoring our
j heroes of the last was pro-
' posed by Dr. Byron K. Home,
! headmaster a t Linden Hall. He
j suggested th a t every business
j place and homes especially
'alo n g Broad and Main Streets
! should display lighted candles
I during the Christmas season,
j “If several hundred homes
; h ere would display lighted
j candles, Lititz would have a j
' yuletide display much more im - :
; pressive than the more elab-1
j orate Christmas lighting d is - !
i plays in many communities,'’
