No. 9 Police Force Joins Citizens Group In Transforming Fountain Plot Tuesday Spring is b u rstin g out all over—a t least th a t is the impression one gets looking a t the fountain in the Square! Overnight a mass of red ger-aniumis and blue and white petunias appeared in full bloom Wednesday morning. A committee of civic-minded citizens —plus most of the police force —spent Tuesday afternoon and much of the night, digging and planting th e area about the fountain. Those helping were Mrs. Winnie Walls, Mrs. Mary Dos-ter, John Eberly, Chief of Police Lloyd Hoffman and TRAINING CENTER OPENS HERE — Record-Express Photo Men from a ll parts o f th e e a s t being bronght he re fo r tra in in g a re seen busy a t w ork in the Reidenbaugh building. New Firm Selects Lititz As The Ideal Small Town A new business quietly ente red th e L ititz scene, last week—an d for several very inte re stin g reasons — when the Smith-Corona company opened a 'Service T raining Center a t 9 South Broad Street. In the words of C. V. H arrison, manager of the company’s H a rrisburg Branch, Lititz was chosen because it is “ a clean, p leasant community and while a busy town, is reasonably removed from o u tside distraction, yet easily accessible to ma jor cities.” Friendliness a n d pleasant surroundings, h e emphasized, mean a lot even to a large company such as Smith-Corona, Syracuse, N. Y., manufacturers of typewriters, elqptric a n d standard, as well as the leading supplier of portable typewriters. T he former store a t 9 South Broad Street, next door to the Lititz Firehouse, was a busy scene last week as it was opened as a- training center by Regional Sales Manager George F.

This was the painful decision reached by members of council Tuesday night a fte r granting Robert Balmer permission to open a 1,300-foot section of Rome Road in his development in th e Northeastern end of the borough. Balmer agreed he should pay the cost of laying a 6-inch main. But, borough plans call for the laying of a 12-inch main here inasmuch as this will form an important link in th e local system. The difference in the cost of laying the two mains will exceed $4,500 it was estimated. With no provisions for water mains in the budget, the borough is without .any funds for this purpose, Borough Manager Dave Bauer reminded. Councilman John Helter then proposed a plan to reimburse the developer for th e difference in pipe—on a delayed payment plan. . As planned, th e developer would lay t h e la rg e r main. Then each time a new home is hooked-up to th e main, he would be reimbursed a definite amount, similar to the plan in effect in th e laying of sewer lines. I t was estimated this reimbursement would be in th e neighborhood of $285 per home. The same situation will be faced by th e borough la te r this year if plans to open extensions of Second Avenue and Spruce Streets mature, Bauer informed council. Historical Marker A request for permission to place a historical marker in the Square was submitted by James Cleland and was taken under advisement. The sign would point the way to the Pretzel House, Linden Hall and other points of interest. Cubs To Attend Phillies Game Plans for th e annual trip were made a t the meeting of the Scouts # 1 4 4 a t St. P au l’s Luth e ran church, held recently. The trip will be ta k en on June 21st to see a baseball game in Philadelphia. The theme for the meeting was “Circus Days” and th re e boys, John Helter, Tommy Swan and William Zander were given Bob-cat pins. The theme for June will be “Trails and N ature,” the re will be no meeting b u t the various dens will take hikes. TWINS, BORN AT LINDEN HALL —Record-Express P hotos The mare held by Judy Mueller and owned by Linden Hall, surprised everyone when she gave b irth to th e twin colts shown in th e photo. Wendy Talmage of Stanford, Conn, pets the palomino while the othe r youngster is more interested in his mama’s kind of love. Twin colts are a 1 in 1000 oddity. Students To Name Twin Colts “Linden She” and “Linden He” Girls a t Linden Hall are making real pets out of two surprises which reached the institution four weeks ago— twin colts! And while twin colts are a 1-in-a-thousand occurrence, the twins born to a bay mare a t Linden Hall proved surprising in more ways th an one! Miss Barbara Barndt, one of th e teachers a t th e college, bought the mare in October 1957. At th e sale of the animal, no mention was made th a t the mare had been bred or was in foal. Members of the “Bit and Spur” club, who rode the an imal a fte r h er purchase, found her skittish and ap t to buck when she was urged to run. After an examination by a veterinarian, th e mare was declared “ in foal.” April 21, th e expectant mare gave birth to not one but two colts—a case said to be one in a thousand. Spurt In Building Is Reported Here A sp u rt in the building of new homes was seen here th is week. Building permits issued by the borough included those for new homes a t 215 Nprth Locust, 209 North Elm an d 509 Rome Road, all issued, to Michael Gress. Elser Gerhart also announced he will s ta rt Work on a new home on West Lincoln Avenue fo r Donald MleGarvey, Spruce Street. A split-level home on West Lincoln Avenue, ju s t completed, has been sold to Herb ert Oehme, Gerhart reported. The bay colt arrived in fine shape but the Palomino, the smaller of the two, gave everyone concerned, a scare. Dr. Byron Horne, h e a d master a t th e college said, “Both colts are in fine shape. The mare produced a colt of either sex and we discussed the possibility of naming them Linden She and Linden He.” Vandals Destroy Wiring In House Vandalism — which has all the ear-marks of being t h e work of an ad u lt and not teenagers— caused damage of more than $300 to a partly-completed house here Tuesday night or Wednesday, according to borough police. The house entered is being built on North Locust Street in the Balmer Development for Douglas Reinhart, of Lancaster. According to O f f i c e r George Hicks, some time d u ring th e night an in tru d e r entered the stru c tu re and cut out parts of the wiring. The chopping of lead lines apparently was done by someone with knowledge of electricity and in such a way th a t the entire house will have to be re-wired. T h e electrical work was done by a friend of the owner. Many Ignore Red Tags Boro Claims Even Local Motorists Fail To Pay, Bauer Says A lot of parking tickets here are being ignored — and borough fathers are planning to do something about it! And, Borough Manager Dave Bauer revealed, parking violators who are refusing to come ! forth and pay th e ir half dollars a re not all out-of-town drivers. A group of local motorists apparently are making collections of th e red tags and are failing to tu rn in a penny to th e borough office. Following a long discussion, members of council Tuesday night voted to amend the ordinance so th a t th e fifty cent fine jumps to a t least one dollar a fte r ten days have elapsed. And then, following another^ short period of grace, if the fine is not paid, the case will be turned over to a justice of the peace— giving the recalcitra n t motorist additional costs to cough up! The new regulations will be printed on the card, plus a notation th a t fines can be dropped in a box which has been placed a t the foot of the sta irs leading to the borough office on the second floor of the firehouse. Gouncil also is trying to figure out what will be d o n e with a huge stack of red tags already reposing on th e borough manager’s desk. Asks F o r Reduction Rates Ivan Adams Sr., requested th a t council consider a special water ra te for a self-service laundry he proposes constructing in a building a t the rea r of 29 S. Broad St. Ten units would be installed, Adams said. The request was denied: The borough manager was in stru c ted to inform Adams th a t the cost of w ater would be about two cents per load of wash, if the amount of water used was near the figure submitted by Adams.

Prospects for t h e pool’s constructibn “don’t .look so good,’ he said adding “ I don’t know yet w h a t’s going to happen.” Yerger said he didn’t care to elaborate on th e delays and held out hope he may yet be able to build a pool on a plot he owns opposite th e United Zion Home. “ I won’t give it up yet,” he said although he had no idea when construction would get underway.

Mrs. Fred Ruebman, in a le tte r to th e editor, said “ It put your mind a t ease, knowing the students were ably being provided for.” "Anyone who shared in thé work put in to th e project deserves the w h o l e hearted thanks of all of the parents of the students attending,” Mrs. Ruebman said.
