Over half of th a t amount was in the sale of money orders. Reedy said 17,161 money orders were sent from the local office for a total handle of $249,709.27. A sixty per cent increase in the sale of stamps and meter sales was noted over th e previous year. Stamp and meter sales in 1957 totaled $153,- 728.00 while in 1957 the stamp and meter sale was $90,475.00 or $63,475.00 less than 1957.

The lights a t present are being operated only during the peak traffic periods and remain blinking in amber on Broad Street and red on Lincoln avenue during th e remainder of the day and night. According -to Borough Manager Dave Bauer the lights are being operated as specified by the State Highway Department and actually control traffic only from 7 a.m. to 8:30 a.m.; 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.; and from 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Borough police, motorists and residents o<f the section, th e last being those who had petitioned council for t h e lights, seemed in agreement th a t since the investment has been made, th e lights should be operated throughout the day. Chief of Police Llcjyd Hoffman expressed himself in accord with this thinking. Another complaint registered is th a t the amber light is not the same as the amber in other lights used in th e borough. This is thought p a rtially due to the fact th a t sun shields for the lights did not arrive with the o th e r equipment. “ I have found th a t the amber PRESENTS NEW DRIVER-TRAINING CAR m B Ê iiÊ Ê Ê Ê Ê Ê S m imÊÈÊËÊL «mÊÊXm tT m m B l l —Record-Express Photo Jo n a th an Forry, manager of Keller Bros. lin Spaid.

Mar- ,by Keller Bros, to th e school program. Shade tree planting urged here Why wait until th e busy spring season to plant th a t shade tree? Contrary to common belief, no b etter time can be chosen for planting than in winter. The tre e is then dormant and th e small rootlets a re not as apt bo be disturbed when moving. While trees can be planted any time in the year, certain precautions should be taken during th e summer months. Nurserymen usually use a plastic spray to check evaporation in th a t period. Planting a tree might not be as expensive as many folks think. The Boro shade tree commission said this week Since everyone is tax conscious a t this time of year, it might be well to know th a t th e Inte rnal Revenue Service allows you to deduct the Cost of tree planting in th e event you should sell your home thus I lowering your capital gains tax. It is safe to say th a t you will get back any investment in trees th a t runs between three and four per cent of the total value of your property. And should you lose a tree in a storm you may be able bo make a tax deduction of its approximate worth. The question is often asked o n , how best to protect small trees in an ice storm. The only solution t h e Ba rtle tt (Continued on Page 12) color tends to stop or slow down traffic ra th e r th a n proceed and this prevents ra th e r than cause any accidents,” Mr. Bauer explained. “When the shields arrive and a re installed, th is may make a difference.” When th e la te afternoon sun strikes th e lights th e situation becomes worse, boro-police explained. Sweep Up Stones Stone placed on local streets to prevent skidding during ice and snow storms, were being removed yesterday. After the streets become clear of ice o r snow the stones prove dangerous to both cars and pedestrians, local police reported. Planners ask funds for zone survey In an effort to speed up work on a zoning ordinance for the borough, th e Planning Comission requested an origin, destination and parking survey be made by the State Highways Department, a t a cost of $15,- 000 a t a meeting held Tuesday evening. The borough will pay $500 of th is cost, with the Federal contribution tota ling $14,500, if th e proposal is approved by borough council a t its next meeting. The P lanning Commission agenda calls for a Public Hearing of a Zoning Ordinance in Nlovemfber 1958, with th e idea of its adoption by early 1959. President D. Curtis Amidon said: “With the possibility of Main Street being rebuilt, it is imperative th a t th is survey be mjade as soon as possible.” The (Continued on Page 7) guards in the Warwick Union area was spurred th is week following the automobile death of a kindergarten child several hours before a PTA meeting on safety last Thursday. Leading the move was the PTA, backed by borough and school officials and Chief of Police Lloyd Hoffman. Speeding up the action was the death of Barbara Loose, five, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Loose, Rothsville, who was crushed beneath th e dual wheels of an oil truck. She ran against the truck ehroute home from classes a t t h e Rothsville Elementary S c h o o l kindergarten last Thursday afternoon and was killed instantly. Share Cost Members of the Lions Club, ABC, Jaycees and Rotary will be asked to consider paying a share of th e cost of hiring womek crossing guards. The women would work only dur- St. Luke’s separates from charge The most important step forward in th e history of the Evangelical and R e f o r m e d Church in Lititz was ta k en on Monday evening when the congregation of St. Luke’s Church unanimously voted in favor of separation of the Warwick Charge. This action is expected to resu lt shortly in full independence for St. Luke’s and enable the congregation to call a full-time pastor to minister to its growing congregation. The Rev. Alton P. Albright, who has been serving th e Warwick Charge since early 1955, has resigned in order to accept a call on February 1 to the Lees-port Parish in Reading Synod. “The establishment of a separate E&R Church,” said Raymond L. Pettyjohn, president of the consistory, “has been a dream of our people for many years. The unanimous support given on Monday evening shows the tremendous faith we have in the fu tu re of our church and in th e continued growth of the community of Lititz. “With a minister who will live and work in Lititz and have no other responsibilities, we look forward to a bright fu tu re for our church school and to ta l church program.” The L i t i t z congregation (Continued on Page 7) route to or going home from school. The firs t definite action was token by th e local chapte r of the A.B.C. Tuesday evening when directors went on record as endorsing the plan “ to engage women to assist a t busy crossings in directing traffic for th e protection of school children.” The school board will also be asked to share in the cost as will borough council. It is estimated three crossing guards are needed to es-ro rt children across especially dangerous stretches of road, both in the township and in the borough. News of the child’s death hit especially hard a t parents attending the Warwick Union Elementary School PTA meeting Thursday night. The topic for the meeting was “Safety for Your Child.” Warwick supervisors fear they cannot legally pay women to direct traffic but would have to seek volunteers instead of paying an hourly wage. The child was killed about 4 p. m. and police said she ran from behind an eastbound auto, against the tru ck going west. And, probably in th e mind of little Barbara the picture stories from the Official Safety Manual she studied in kindergarten flashed as a warning to obey the safety rules. “Walk to the left of the road, facing traffic, don’t walk between parked cars, be alert, never take a ride from a s tran g e r” and then for ju s t a few seconds her little mind wandered to thoughts of play (Continued on Page 7) Re-enlists Woe's Y.M.B.L. will hold oyster supper Monday The annual oyster supper of th e Young Men’s Business League will be held on Monday, Jan u a ry 27, a t the League.

New traffic light ‘amber’
confusing to motorists
The new traffic lights a t
Broad and Lincoln Avenue
went in to use, on a part-lime
basis, early th is week—and
immediately became somewhat
of a controversial subject
among residents of th e neighborhood.
The lights a t present are
being operated only during the
peak traffic periods and remain
blinking in amber on Broad
Street and red on Lincoln
avenue during th e remainder
of the day and night.
According -to Borough Manager
Dave Bauer the lights are
being operated as specified by
the State Highway Department
and actually control traffic
only from 7 a.m. to 8:30 a.m.;
11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.; and
from 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.
