Lambe r t-Hudnut alone, he
said, would pay out about
$4,100,000 to people in the

Police Without Lead In Homemade Bomb

Kopp Coma Period
Extends 96 Hours
Spencer “ Skip” Kopp, Wa r ­wick
High School’s All-Coun­ty
quarterback, remained in a
coma a t E p h ra ta Community
Hospital yesterday, pushing to
9 6 hours a period of uncon­sciousness
induced by a foot­ball
injury.
Relatives said yesterday
the la te s t repor t from his bed­side
is th a t he is “ res ting and
improving, but slowly.”
Kopp was knocked uncon­scious
about 3:20 p.m. last
Saturday in the final minutes
of Wa rwick’s game with E p h ­rata.
The 17-year old senior,
a son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles
S. Kopp, 421 S. Cedar St., was
injured in a tackle along the
Warwick sidelines in what
was probably to be his final
play of his high school career.
Coach Dean Miller was pre­paring
subs titutions a t the
time the lanky Kopp in te r ­cepted
an E p h ra ta pass on
Warwick’s 45 yard line. He
headed for the sidelines and
a t the E p h ra ta 20 yard line
was bottled in and driven to
the ground by two Ep h ra ta
tacklers.
Persons along the side­lines
said Kopp fell with a
whiplash effect, his head
striking the ground with
niueli force and the taeklers
landing on top of him.
He was taken to the hospi­tal
by ambulance where his
prolonged period of uncon­sciousness
was a tt r ib u ted to a
concussion.
Specialists said the re was
no immediate indication of a
brain inju ry or. skull frac­ture.
His parents have alter­nated
with a private nurse
in staying at his bedside.
They said yesterday he is
able to acknowledge’ some­one's
presence but has not
yet spoken.
The only app a ren t injury
was a swelling on the temple
which is reducing.
During the game Kopp had
thrown two touchdown passes
for Warwick, scored one
touchdown and intercepted
two E p h ra ta passes. He had
been selected as the out­standing
player of the gr.me
by an E p h r a ta radio station
and will he awarded a trophy.
His inju ry was the second
mis for tune he underwent d u r ­ing
the season. An appendec­tomy
sidelined him for the
first two games. H6 came
back agains t Solanco in the
third game to pilot Warwick
to seven wins out of their
last eight games.

Thanksgiving
Lititz Re ta i le r s ’ Assn, will

Christmas season store hours,
it was announced yesterday.

on Monday, the* group, agreed
on special holiday store hours
which would begin a f te r a f i tt­ing
observance of Thanksgiv­ing.
Retailers said they felt the
start of Christmas store
hours prior to the Thanks­giving
holiday was a de­traction
from the sign ifi­cance
of the day set aside
for expressions of gratitude
by the Pilgrim settlers.
Special store hours will go
into effect s ta rting Saturday,
Nov. 28 when stores will be;
open until 9 p.m. to give shop­pers
two nights of store hours.

Borough In Case
Against Forney
A ju d g e ’s opinion up h e ld a
iury verdict in favor of Lititz
Borough for $931.22 in
damages ag a ins t Benjamin G.
Forney, Rothsville.
Ju d g e William G. Jo h n ­stone
last week gave his opin­ion
in the case which involves
the building of Forney Drive.
He refused to g ra n t Forney
a new tr ia l and ordered him
to pay th e damages as in­structed
by a jury.
A ju ry had found agains t
Forney for th a t amount in
April and the Rothsville con­tra
c to r and cattle deale r had
appealed th e decision. The
ju ry tr ial had come a f t e r an
appeal by th e borough of a de­cision
by a Board of Arb it ra ­tion
which had awarded F o r ­ney
$1,862.44.
The suit involves Forney
Drive which was built by F o r ­ney
and which th e borough
claimed didn’t mea sure up to
specifications. The borough
then had the s t re e t redone
and the verdict agains t F o r ­ney
was for th e work the
borough ordered done.
Forney had declined to pay,
claiming the s tre e t did meet
specifications and was seek­ing
to collect for the work he
had done.

Lititz Borough effected tile raising of its 55-foot fire
siren pole last week, with the aid of this crane from the Higli
Welding Co., Lancaster. The pole, weighing about 3,000
pounds, and the siren, weighing an estimated 850 pounds,
were raised in about 3 hours. High Welding le ft the crane
supporting the pole here overnight until concrete poured into then pinched together and
Windows in the home of
three Lititz res idents were
shattered by homemade bombs
Saturday, all of which were
detonated within the span of
4 0 minutes.
Borough Police said yester­day
a week long probe of the
I bombings left them without
a clue as to the persons re-
| sponsible for the vandalism.
In a t least one home two
children narrowly ercaped in­jury
from flying glass parti-
! cles which were sent hurtling
: 2 9 feet across two rooms,
i Chief of Police Lloyd J.
’Hoffman said the bombings
occurred at the homes of
George, E. Smith, 40 E. Sec­ond
A v e.; Jack C. Gregory,
241 Front St., and Monroe
Shrciner, 120 S. Spruce S t..
They were set off at 8:05
p.m. Saturday a t the Smith
home, 8:25 p.m. a t the Greg­ory
home and a t 8:45 p.m. at
the Shreiner home.
Use Gunpowder
In each instance, said the
chief, Patrolman H. Lloyd
Long found pieces of televis­ion
anten n a tubing and traces
of gunpowder. As far as police
could tell the explosive pow­der
was apparently placed in­side
the tubing which was
the 5^6 fo o t hole hardened. Saturday ail electrical crew of
Roy S. Reideiihaugh put the siren into operation.
1 st Block of Main
Street Is Opened
Thé first block of Eas t Main
Street will be open to through
traffic thi s week for the first
time since September 21, it was
announced yesterday.
-Borough Manager David J.
Bauer said Lititz Machine Co.
workmen were expected to fill
in the remaining ditches near
the Post Office in time for the
borough to wash down the
s tre e t for the weekend.
Meanwhile, Bauer said, it
was learned th a t the United
Gas Improvements Co., which
mus t lower its lines on Main
Street won’t schedule the work
until a f te r the holidays.
U. G. I. told the borough
it realized the lowering of
the lines would cause further
inconvenience to the public
and retailers alike during the
Christmas shopping season.
The gas company had origin­ally
planned to s t a r t work on
the block as soon as the water
line replacement was finished.
Bauer also said yesterday
th a t the borough still has no
indication when the State
Highways Depa rtment will be­gin
their recons truction of the
street.
I t was the decision of the
Highways Department in Aug­ust
to rebuild Main Street, th a t
spurred the borough to replace
a n d lower the water mains.
Tire borough wanted to get the
job -done before s tre e t recou-s
truciton began so it wouldn’t
be necessary to dig up the new
surface.
Other th an the announce­ment
th a t the state will re­build.
the borough has heard
nothing since August of the
timetable.

Scraps of masking tape and
muslin were also found, in­dicating
the vandals taped
them to the windows.
Police said they could turn
up no relation among the
three victims which would in­dicate
a motive, but instead
felt the houses were selected
a t random. A check with
school science teachers indi­cated
no tie there with any
recent courses of study.
Seek Leads
Chief Hoffman appealed to
res idents in the vicinity of
the homes to repor t any sus­picious
persons or acts they
may have noticed on Saturday
night. He said the time ele­ment
indicated the bombing
could have been done on foot
or by persons in an au to ­mobile.
At the Smith home, two
children, Janet, six, and By­ron,
two, were saved from in­ju
ry by the fact they were
s itting out of the line of
flight of the glass.
Smith said ugly slivers of
glass were blown 29 feet
across a television room and
the living room. He said he
was in the kitchen a t the time
and thought a television pic­tu
re tube had shattered.
When he realized a storm
window and inside window
had been shattered, he said,
he looked outside, finding
particles of the antenna be­tween
the storm and inside
window.
He said two chairs anil
a davenport were within the
trajectory of the glass. “If

They’re burning leaves on

The unlikely event, which
park groundskeeper Duke
Crowthers says has happened

He said the Springs has not

the water in the s tream bed
has frozen. As a method of
burning leaves they a re r a k ­ed
