Park Dedication
Being Planned
Plans for a Sunday evening
service late in Ju n e to de­dicate
th e new entrance to
th e Lititz Springs Park, were
taken under advisement at a
meeting of the park committee
Tuesday evening.
I t originally had been plann­ed
to hold th is dedication as
a p a rt of th e annual July 4th
program but it h a s been learn­ed
th a t Elmer Bobst, donor of
funds used in modernizing the
park, will be unable to attend.
It was felt the program be
meaningless without his pres­ence.
The Palmyra Band has been
engaged to provide concerts
for the July 4th program. A
contract for a large fireworks
display also was discussed,
along with a plan for provid­ing
souvenir lapel buttons with
all admissions this year.
Work in the park h a s been
progressing rapidly the past
ferw weeks, th an k s to the
good weather, increasing hopes
th a t the work will be com­pleted
on schedule. The main
park driveway was laid this
week.

Several "Tricky” Questions
Cut Down Correct Answers
A few "tricky” stateinents
included in la st week’s “Shop-
In-Lititz” Contest served to cut
down the number of near-per­fect
answers submitted, al­though
the tabulations showed
clearly t h a t Record-Express
readers are really up on th e ir
historic data.
The one question which serv­ed
as a “tie -b re ak e r” was the
sta tement th a t Suchard cho­colate
originated in Philadel­phia.
History tells us th a t Count
Zinzendorf, founder o f t h e
modern Moravian Church, had
th e genius of learership and
th e power to inspire in his
followers unlimited confidence.
Impressed b y Zinzendortf’s
qualities, John George Klein,
springhead of Oerter’s run, of­fered
his 491 acres fo r the
church settlement to Zinzen­d
orf in 1754 and which, In
1756 Zinzendorf named Lititz.
The question rega rding Zin­zendorf
was a n easy one for
local contestants.
Another easy one was re­garding
the firs t pretzel bak­ery
in America. The Sturgis
Bakery, which began as a
commercial bakery in 1861,
today is a popular spot f o r
to u rists an d visitors to le a rn
th e manner in which Lititz
became known almost a cen­tu
ry ago a s “The Pretzel
Town.”
