PattbMs - Recreation- He's A Cad
One« in every while an old
crony reminds m« of the "good old
days" in Gnmball Alley. It was
back in the years before the col-iapa
of. '29, when the old sang
was organized and flourished most
happily for all in it. Playing
marbles for keeps, smoking Indian
cigars, frequently indulging in a
game of fox-and-geese, and pitch-ing
horseshoes. And these were
only a few of the things we did.
I remember the shack we built in
Gochenauer's back-yard, the in-side
of whi«*1' we covered with
cardboard year, adding layer
upon layer .1 we were satisfied
with the rft _.es of our annual la-bor.
I remember going into the
cellar of Grube's Store for boxes;
scents of new and finished leather
. . . . Instead of "G-Man" we
played "cop-and-robber" or as
cowboys and Indians Yes,
one can write volumes on his
youth, and tell so little. They are
the best years of man's life, for
they are not subject to the follies
and foibles of womankind, which
are omnipresent for the rest of
his life. . . . .
Many men of town, young and
old, are turning to bowling foi
recreation. It is good. Although
there are no public bowling al-leys
in Lititz, there remains "the
interest in the sport. Perhaps in
the near future some enterprising
businessman will build alleys in
this burg, and the boys will stay
In town, and no longer say: What
can a fellow do in this burg, ex-cept
go to the movies?
Several weeks ago I offered my
idea of the typical Lititz girl. It
invoked more criticism and com-ment
than I cared for, and I
should have expected it. At pres-ent
it is my plan to supply a pdc-tnre
ol the Typical Lititz Boy. . .
and he won't like it. This week
there Js space for only a few out-standing
factors in his make-up.
First point, he is a cad; keep tlhis
in mind. He has no respect for
the past, nor any idea as to bis
future life. He is living for the
present, and his presence is wel-comed
by only the featherbrained
femmes who crowd around him
when he springs a "hot" joke. He
attempts to appear nonchalant
and superiorly inclined by sus-pending
a cigaret from his eye-teeth;
he's a cad. . . More later. .

An equitable tax program and
economy in government are sorely
needed in Pennsylvania to stem
the exodus of industry to other
states, Representative Harry E.
Trout declared in an address on
"Taxes" before the Lititz Rotary
Club Tuesday evening.
Other states are wisely watch-ing
Pennsylvania add more taxes
upon industries and openly invit-ing
large firms to move, the speak-er
said. Our state, he continued,
must correct this situation or lose
its very life blood of industry.
Introduced to the club at its
meeting in the General Sutter Ho-tel
by Frank Keiffer, local man-ager
of the Pennsylvania Power
and Light Co:, Mr. Trout, who is
also publisher of the Manheim
Sentinel, told of the investigations
of taxation made by the Tax Study
Commission, which was appointed
last May and of which he is a
member.
Figures obtained by the commis-sion
and read to the club showed
that Pennsylvania ranks very high
in taxation when compared with
other states. The speaker also
read letters from big concerns as
proof that the rumored moving of
concerns to other states is actually
a reality.
Pennsylvania, he declared, has
all but two requisites looked for
by industryV^^ri-fetfom from labor
troubles and equitable taxes. With
this state the battleground for the
American Federation of Labor and
the CIO, and with taxes what they
are, he said in conclusion, no in-dustry
wants to come here or re-main
here.

Lititz High Faces
Columbia In Stiff
Game Here Tomorrow
By Eugene Roth
Tomorrow night Lititz High,
with one of the fastest teams de-veloped
at the local schools, faces
Columbia High on the local floor.
The local boys have a very good
chance for the championship of
Section 2 League of the county,
for under Coach Foster's super-vision
they have won eight
straight league games.
The game tomorrow night will
show the mettle of both teams and
if Lititz wins, they should have
fairly clear sailing to the title.
The Columbia team has also
been playing very good ball, hav-ing
won seven out of eight games.
Lititz defeated them on their own
floor court to the tune of 21 to 14.
Lititz' eighth victory was a 64-
15 win over Quarryville High Fri-day
night at that place. The lo-cal
boys, in a non-league game,
defeated Manheim borough, 58-24
on Tuesday night.

"I Read It
In The Record"
Is a Remark Heard Often Among
The People of Lititz and Vicinity
People buy a newspaper because they want to
know what is happening. They want to read what
their neighbors and friends are doing. And they talk
about what they have read in the newspaper.
Each week the RECORD goes into more than
2000 local homes, carrying the news of Lititz and
vicinity. And with it go the messages of the advertisers;
the one and only medium needed to reach these people.
To Appear hi Recital Here
Sponsored by the Delphian Soci-ety
as a benefit for the Lititz
Public Library, Claudine Boyer
Wright, pianist, Henrietta Scott,
soprano, and Hazel H. Koehler,
violinist, all of Philadelphia, will
present a recital Thursday even-ing,
in the Moravian Fellowship
Hall.
Large Audience Hears
Juniata College Singers
A capacity audience listened to
the Juniata College Acappella
Choir in the Church of The Breth-ren
on Tuesday evening.
The group presented a very
fine program including familiar
hymns and several numbers writ-ten
by Conrad Beissel, founder of
the Ephrata Cloister, and tran-scribed
by Prof. Rowland, director
of the Choir. The beautiful num-ber
"O Morn of Beauty" or "Fin-landia"
was sung to the memory
of the late Dr. I. Harvey Brum-baugh.
H. E. Neis lined and di-rected
a German hymn by the
entire congregation for the benefit
of the Choir members, many of
whom were unfamiliar with the
process «f hymn lining and sing-ing.
The program rendered was as
follows: Processional Hymn, Fair-est
Lord Jesus; Invocation; Cast
Thy Burden Upon the Lord—A
Choral from Mendelssohn's ora-torio,
Elijah; Come, Soothing
Death—Dearest Lord Jesus, Bach;
In The City Foursquare; When At
Night I Go To Sleep (Childs Pray-er
from Hansel & Gretel); Hymn,

SEND CANDY FROM ENGLAND
Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Unger, form-erly
of town, who are now in Lit-tlehampton,
Sussex, England, sent
to B. F. Lutz a stick of the rock
candy for which that place is fa-mous.
The stick was about a
foot long and IV2 inches thick. It
was white, coated with pink and
through the length of it, arranged
in a circle, were the words, "Lit-tlehampton
Rock". The candy
tasted more like the peppermint
sticks known in this country than
the rock candy with which we aro
familiar.

50 Parents

'School* Here
Attend First of Five
Conferences to Study
Personality of Child
At St. Paul's Church
More than fifty parents attended
the first of a series of Parent
Conferences in St. Paul's Luthe-ran
Church Tuesday evening. The
Conferences are sponsored by the

Mrs. Austin Fellenbaum, of
Lancaster, who is conducting the
series, is a graduate of Gettys-burg
College and for the last six
years has conducted the daily
kindergarten of the First Presby-terian
Church of Lancaster. Her
first conference on Tuesday dem-onstrated
her charming personal-ity
and that she speaks from the
rich experience of child contacts.
The general theme for all the
conferences is "Personality—and
Its Development." As a basis for
all her lectures she used the Bi-ble
verse, Luke 2:52,—"And Jesus
increased in wisdom and stature,
and in favor with God and man."
She quoted this verse as covering
the entire realm of the four fold
development of the individual,
which is physical, mental, spiri-tual
and social, all of which play
a great part in the development
of personality. Personality may
be defined as the essence of a hu-

Lititz Fire Engine
Used For First Time
The new Lititz flre truck, driv-en
by Derwin Runk, answered its
first alarm, Saturday night, about
9 o'clock when a chimney flre in
the building occupied by the Roth-enberger
and Rowe Pretzel com-pany,
burned through the plaster
causing slight damage. Firemen
extinguished the blaze in about an
hour. The building is owned
by J. Alvin Enck.
Chief Emory Wagner and four
firemen were attending the annual
banquet of the Penryn Fire com-pany
when the alarm was sound-ed,
and arrived twenty minutes
late for the blaze.
Sutter Apartments, On Site of General Sutter's Old
Home Here, Ready To Be Occupied In Few Days
The Sutter Apartments, occupy-ing
the second floor of the build-ing
housing the Trimble hardware
store, are about completed and
will be ready for renters within
several days. . They have been
named "Sutter" because they are
on the site of the home of General
John A. Sutter when he lived here.
In a remodeling program which
completely altered the second and
third floors of the building, the
Lititz Agricultural Mutual Fire
Insurance Company has created
three pleasant and spacious aptr-ments.
Entrance to the apartments is
through the doorway East of the
hardware store. In the vestiblue
are three mail boxes and a tele-phone
to communicate with each
of the apartments. The inside
door to the hall can be opened
from the second floor by any of
the occupants.
The first apartment is in the
front of the building, the kitchen
being over the front door and the
combination living room and din-ing
room over the front of the
store. Next to the living room
are the bath and bed room.
The second apartment is in the
center of the building, its win-dows
looking towards Broad
Street. The door from the hall
opens into the combination living-dining
room. The kitchen, bath
and bed room are towards the
front of the building. The third
apartment Is in the rear, the kit-chen
and living-dining room hav-ing
windows in the back and on
the side. The other rooms of the
rear apartment are also toward
the front of the building.
All the latest bathroom fixtures
have been installed and the kit-chen
equipment will include an

Delving further into the music
played and sung here almost 200
years ago by the Moravians, Theo-.
dore M. Finney, of the Universit-/
of Pittsburgh, spent Tuesday in
town taking more photographs of
the manuscripts found in the
Moravian Church.
Somewhere in the mass of old
sheets there may be an unpublish-ed
string quartette by Haydn or
some other great composer and
that would be a find of the first
water, Mr. Finney said. The
chances for that are slim, how-ever,
and he is mainly interested
in studying the old music and
looking for a program to give him
some clue regarding when thj
music was played and how ma
instruments made up the orche
tras here in the middle 1700's.
Mr. Finney, who is lecturer ol
music and director of musi
activities at the University
Pittsburgh, set up his camera i!3

Although February 1, the date

Transportation Company for the
