St. Paul’s Christmas Musical
This Sunday Evening
His appeal was published in
the Sugarcreek (Ohio) Budget,
national Amish newspaper.
“We are sorry to hear of so
many Amish people in the news
lately, especially when such
news is about conflict with the
law,” Bishop Hershberger said.
“Why should anyone refuse to
buy license plates fo r a buggy
in those sta te s where it is re­quired?”
What law of conscience
or religion Is here violated? We
buy hunting, fishing, and mar­riage
licenses, do we not?
“Why should we not cooper­ate
with d ra ft laws, especially
where provision is made for the
conscientious objector to war?
“Why should th e re be so many
arre sts for refusing to send our
children to school, especially
when th e laws of our nation
g rant us the rig h t to have our
own schools, hire our own teach­ers,
even teach th a t which is of
our own choosing?
■ “We should th an k God for a
nation th a t still respects the
conscience of a minority,” Bishop
Hershberger declared, urging
th a t the Amish change th e ir tac­tics
of resistane to those of co­operation
with law officers.
The Amish bishap counseled
th a t should any law conflict with
the word of God, “ the tru e
Christian will in a humble man- ’
ner request to be excused from
following th a t p articu la r law.”
Committee Spent
$1,404 In Behalf
Of Auto Victims
A to ta l of $1,404.07 has been
expended In behalf of the four
high school students Injured in
an auto accident la st Spring,
members of th e fund committee,
announced th is week. The fund
has an unexpended balance of
$13.90.
Funds donated by the public
were spent for medical tre a t­ment,
equipment, supplies and
hospital tre a tm en t and supple­mented
hospitalization and oth-r
insurance which partially cov­ered
th ree of the students.
Money from th e fund included
$632.22 in behalf of Donald
Ringer: $216 for Jo h n Ringer;
$433.40 for Richard Kreider;
and $122.45 for Robert Miller.
Members of the committee in­cluded
Mrs. John Hershey,
Thomas Dussinger, Ross Houseal
and Marlin Spaid.
Trucks Damaged
In Crash Here
Jail Parents
Re-Arrested
By School Bd.
Re-arrested for the th ird time,
two local farmers, both members
of plain sects, went to ja il for
five-day terms Tuesday night
ra th e r than pay fines for failing
to send th e ir children to school.
But as another ch ap te r in the
local controversy, which is not
new in the country, was written
here, everybody involved seemed
mighty unhappy about the tu rn
of affairs — excepting, possibly
the two who were headed for
cells.
“This whole thing is nothing
b u t a headache for me b u t 1
have no a lternative other th an to
see th a t the sta te compulsory a t­tendance
laws a re obeyed,” Su­pervising
Principal Marlin Spaid,
who preferred th e charges, as­serted.
“And going to ja il won’t set-tie
anything, fo r if they persist
In refusing to send th e ir chil­dren
to school, they will merely
be re-arrested again and again,”
he continued.
Levi S. Glick, Lititz RD1, an
ATnishman, and Harold B. Zim­merman,
Lititz RD4, a, Mennon­ite,
appeared less disturbed over
the prospects of ja il cells than
did Mr. Spaid. Both refused to
plead guilty despite th a t Zimmer­man
openly declared he had no
intention of sending his son to
school.

Nullify All Boosts Made
By Musser In Warwick
Township
A sweeping equalization of all
property assessments in Lititz
Borough, Warwick and Elizabeth
Townships, will be made in the
near future, according to an an-
| j nouncement made yesterday by
Miriam Metzler, chief county as­sessor,
from h er office in the
Lancaster County Court House.
And — Mrs. Metzler also re­vealed
— those recent assess­ment
boosts In Warwick Town­ship
which caused the march o f
indignant property owners on the
county commissioners’ office, will
i be nullified.
“The trouble arose in War­wick
Township when one asses­sor
tried to do something which
must come about concurrently In
the entire school d istric t,” Mrs.
Metzler asserted. “We are plan­ning
to call together the four
assessors in the Warwick Union
District arid to hold a series of
conferences between them, the
members of borough council in
Lititz and th e Warwick Union
School Board.
“We realize we have a serious
problem and I, personally, ap­preciate
th e manner in which The
Record-Express has stated and
explained the facts regarding as­sessments
to its readers,” Mrs.
Metzler added.
Announcement th a t the recent
boosts in assessments will be put
aside and the former assessment
figure used for 19 §5 will be made '
this week in le tte rs to be mailed
by the Warwick Township asses­sor,
E a rl C. Musser, of Roths­ville.
Letters which Mrs. Metzler
prepared for Musser read as fol­lows:
“ I was requested to notify you
th a t the assessment changes
made prior to the November 19th
appeal day for Warwick Town­ship
are not to be used for 1955.
“This recommendation came
a fte r it was suggested th a t a re­vision
of ALL Warwick Union
District Assessments will pos-sobly
be made in th e nea r future.
“Therefore your assessment
for 1955 will be . .
Very tru ly youra,
E arl C. Musser, assessor.”
Mrs. Metzler also revealed
th a t there is no need for a meet­ing
ofthe protesting property
owners, as a resu lt of th is ac­tion,
and th a t th e ir objections
will be met by th e plans for the
thorough re-assessment program
being planned.
