Park Request
For More Money
A reques t for an appropria-
| tion of $3,000 by Lititz
Springs P a rk is being s tu d i/d
by borough council.
The pa rk tru s te e s made the
reques t a t last mo n th ’s coun­cil
meeting, citing an ope ra t­ing
deficit of $2,463. Tru s ­tees
asked the borough to pro­vide
$3,000 in the 1960 bud­get
for the park.
Council, noting its contr ibu­tion
of $900 in the 1959 bud­get,
said it would inform the
park committee it would pro-*-
vide th a t amo u n t “ and see
how the budget shapes up.”
P a rk trus te e s said income
for the year was $4,662 ajid
expenses- were $7,136. Coun­cilman
Ha r ry F. Ruley said
th a t in addition to the $900
g ran t the borough contributes
electricity and repairs the
road running th ro u g h the
park. He said he “ didn’t see
why we should tak e th e i r hot
coals out of the fire for them.
They should have th e fore­s
ight to save a few bucks.”
Vandals Damage
Shenk Residence
Halloween vandals caused
some damage on Thursday a t
the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Fred Shenk, Brunnerville. They
were away th a t evening and
when they re tu rn ed home they
found th a t p ran k s te r s had
thrown a fairly large stone
thro u g h th e i r window. They
also broke into the small
room off from the re s t of the
h o u se ’ where Mrs. Shenk
keeps her washing machine.
Mr. Shenk then continued to
look for more damage, on go­ing
a round the house he dis­covered
th a t they had torn
the lead in wire of th e i r tele­vision
set, and wrapped it
a round a nearby telephone
pole. Mrs. Shenk reported
th a t nothing had been taken
from the room, and nothing
was damaged except for .a
large jack-o-lantern.

In the only other borough
contest, veteran Justice of I he
Peace, Joseph B. Iierr. was
relented liy^a margin of 94 4 to
478 over Democrat Thomas
I’. Rearich.
Uncontested were E. Gay
Brubaker, assessor, who [loll­ed
638 votes ia the Fir s t
Ward and the veteran Andrew
M. Shissler, 340 votes in the
second. William E. Ringer,
uncontested for borough au d i­tor,
totaled 99 6 votes.
Election observers here
said they believed the action
of the three Republican coun­cil
candidates in endorsing a
swimming pool, contributed lo
their victory. Democrats laid
also pledged to build a pool.
Following the election, one
candidate, council hopeful
Palkovic, issued this s ta te ­ment:
"I would like to thank
tlio.se good thinking people of
Lititz who voted for me.”
Palkovic, who got 351
votes in a district where there
a re only 329 registered Demo­crats,
had put some last;
minute zing into his campaign
by tour ing Lititz with a pub­lic
address system Monday
night.
On the county and state
scene this traditionally Re­publican
community re turned
big majorities for its party
slate. Only in the contest for
county commissioner did an
exception occurr.
This was when Repuhlcans
C. Abram Snyder and Richard
H. Witiner polled 803 and
846 votes respectively while
home town candidate, Herbert
J. Wagaman, Democrat, nab­bed
710 votes. An indication
of the ballot-splitting a n d '
preference was th a t Waga-man’s
Democratic running
mate C. Stanley Albright, got
only 444 votes.
New councilmen take office
in J a n u a ry and will also sit
in on the budgetary sessions
with the present council.
