Constructed At Kissel
Hill; Five Here
With credit and interest
rate s being eased nationally,
building of new homes in this
area is expected to show a
sp u rt this Spring with some
indications already evident.
The most pronounced ac­tivity
to-date exists in the Kis­sel
Hill area where Lloyd May,
of Brickerville, has sta rted the
construction of approximately
15 new homes this year. The
development is located on the
Joseph Brubaker farm.
Brubaker several years ago
presented an annexation peti­tion
to the Lititz borough
council. So many problems de­veloped
a t several subsequent
meetings, however, th a t the
annexation effort was dropped.
Within th e borough limits,
th e most activity seems cen­tered
about th e Balmer De­velopment
in the northeastern
end of town. Here Michael
Gress plans to finish five new
homes by Ju n e 1. Progress
made on these homes wtill de­termine
how many more will

Warwick Going One Better On
Gov’s Ed Council Proposals
Warwick High School is
meeting th e proposed step up
in education recommended by
th e recent. Governor’a .Qounci 1
on Education—and then some.
The council, widely pub­licized
several weeks ago,
recommended th a t minimum
high school graduation re ­quirements
include th ree years
of English and social studies
each, a year of math and a
year of science.
A check with Supervising
Principal G. Marlin Spaid re ­vealed
th a t Warwick has been
doing more than the proposals
advocated.
At present students are re­quired
to ta k e four years of
English and History, two
science and one math. This is
considerably more th an the
present State Department of
Public Instruction require­ments.
No Snap Course
In a review of the present
school curriculum Spaid said
th is week h e felt Warwick,has
“no such thing as a snap
course.”
Of a to ta l of 30 possible
hours of classroom work,
pupils are required to sched­ule
a minimum of 24 hours.
Maximum is 28 hours. The
minimum requirement pre­vents
Students from ju st
squeezing through and loading
a schedule with free or
“study” periods.
Science, a hone of conten­tion
with th e Governor's Coun­cil,
is tau g h t in one form or
another in every grade except
ninth. But th e re general
science or biology is a must. It
is done in the form of supple­mental
reading from first
through fourth grade.
From sixth through eighth
a science course is tau g h t in
the grades and ju n io r high.

Quarantine
Risser Farm
For Rabies
A 100-day quarantine was
placed on the farm near Clay
owned by Leon Risser, of this
borough, yesterday when it was
determined th a t a cow which
died Saturday had been infect­ed
with rabies.
According to Risser, th e cow
had all of the symptoms of
being rabid and the head im­mediately
was shipped to the
State Veterinary laboratory at
Harrisburg. When te sts prov­ed
th a t it definitely was rabid,
state officials ordered th a t all
ca tttle now on the farm must
not be moved until a fte r the
100-day period has lapsed.
The farm is socked with a
large number of pure-ln ed
short-horned breeding cattle.
To-date none of th e o th e r ani­mals
have shown any signs of
ill-health.
Both Risser and his cm- |
ployee, Clyde Brubaker, miust
now receive a series of 12 in-nooulations
during the next
two weeks, inasmuch as th e hy­drophobia
is readily transmis­sible
to man ,and can be fatal if
n o t tre a ted immediately.
Risser also revealed th a t a
rabid fox has been Shot on th e
adjoining farm owned by Carl
Frederick, approximately a
month ago. Fredeirck -also had
to kill two dogs bitten by the
fox. I t is th o u g h t th e fox may
a 1-so have bite® th e Risser cow.
“ I think you oug h t to sug­gest
th a t anyone with stray
dogs should keep them tied
a t th is tim e a s th is is f a r
more serious th a n many re­alize,”
Risser emphasized.
