Boro To Start Cleaning Up Streets Next
Week; Announce StreetsT oBe Repaved
Next week will be Clean-up
Week as far as borough stree ts
are concerned.
According to Borough Man­ager
D a v e Bauer, borough
employees will go to Philadel­phia
Monday to pick up a
rented sweeper needed in view
of the fact th a t stre e ts are
d irtie r than usual, due to re­cent
storms and cinderings.
The sweeping program will
s ta rt a t the north end of town
and work southward. Residents
will be warned ahead of time
by signs to be erected. Motor­ists
a re asked to co-operate
by not parking cars on streets
scheduled to be cleaned.
The borough has disposed of
the old sweeper, which was
declared worn-out. The de­cision
to ren t a sweeper was
reached a fte r it was learned
th a t a new machine would
cost in excess of $10,000.
Bauer also explained th a t
if any residents a re interested
in obtaining the sweepings,
ideal for driveway fill, they
should contact th e borough
office. The sweepings have a
high stone content, he said.

Records At
Post Office
Stamp Sale Indicates
Local Industries
Forging Ahead
Business may be in a general
recession b u t at the Lititz Post
Office receipts have h it an all-time
high, acting postmaster
Raymond S. Reedy reported
this week.
Reedy said the sale of
stamps for the f irs t q u a rte r of
t h e year, Jan u a ry through
March, broke all existing re ­cords
a t th e local office.
He said a to ta l of $32,010
in stamps was sold a t th e local
office which is an increase of
nine per cent oyer the first
qu arte r of la st year.
And the firs t q u arte r of
1957, he said, had set an all-time
firs t qu arte r mark out­stripping
tihe previous record
by over 60 per cent.
He attrib u ted the increase
to the stability and increase
of industrial mail handling, an
indication th a t Lititz business
is in b e tte r shape th an much
of th e nation where recession
has cut deeply into receipts of
all kinds.
• Normally, Reedy said, the
last q u a rte r of th e yea r brings
the heaviest mail deluge and
thus th e biggest q u a rte r in the
sale of stamps. - This is due to
Christmas mail.
Recently th e firs t qu arte r
report of th e Lancaster City
Post Office was released and
showed a 12 per cent decline
in the handling of stamps over
1957.
Postmaster F ra n k Hammond
blamed it on the business re ­cession
and th e snowstorms

The Upper Hammer Creek

This is th e doleful news
which awaits several hundred
local fishermen looking for­ward
to the opening of the
tro u t season Tuesday morning.
An alleged pollution of the

caused sta te officials to hold
up the allotment which or­dinarily
included 2,300 ra in ­bow
and brown tro u t for the

was disclosed this week.
State Fish Warden Robert
Betts and Robert Bielo, biolog­ist,
took wate r samples on
March 17. The Sanitary Wa te r
Board was notified and the
investigation still is in pro­gress.
But th e re still was a ray of
hope fo r local tro u t fisher­men.
Should the results of these
tests prove th a t the stream
has improved so th a t it can
support fish life, stocking will
be done immediately—even if
