Water Estimates
Lh Improve’ents
Up To $410,000
E e s t im a t e s on Lititz
Borough’s water improve­ments
program have gone up
from $390,000 to $410,000.
The engineering firm which
has been drawing up specifi­cations
and plans for the
ma jo r ravamping of the
boro u g h ’s wa te r system, in­cluding
a storage tank a t Kis­sel
Hill, has come up with
the new figure.
The old figure of $390;000
was based on estimates a t the
time the borough first dis­cussed
updating and expand­ing
its water system back in
1955. Since then costs of
labor and materials have
risen, resulting in the lates t
estimate.
Engineers will p rep a r e the
specifications for bidding.

State Police, FBI Enter Bomb Probe Here
School Checks On
$ 1 3 ,4 0 0 Check
Warwick High School is
trying to tra ck down a $13,-
400 check, its first payment
on wage tax receipts.
At las t week’s scjiool board
meeting Director Richard S.
Allebach, the b o a rd ’s rep re ­sentative
on the Lancaster
County Tax Collection Bureau,
reported the bureau mailed
out th e check.
It was for $13,400 plus
$720, the latter figure re­presenting
Warwick’s pay­ment
toward initial expen­ses
in setting up the cen­tral
collection bureau. Tli^
figure was based on one

Girls Admit
Stealing
From Autos
Two Lititz girls, aged 13
and 15, were questioned by
juvenile author itie s yesterday
and released to the ir parents
a fte r admitting a series of
petty the f ts in the borough.
Police said th e girls we re re ­turned
to the custody of the ir
pa rents pending action by the
County Probation Office.
Most of th e thefts, police
believe, were of articles from
parked automobiles b u t one
involved th e th e f t of a set
of dentures in a parcel post
package from th e dental offied
step of Dr. William Miksch,
124 E. Main St.
Chief o f Police Lloyd J.
Hoffman said the girls gave
no reason for the thefts.
He said Patrolman H. Lloyd
Long uncovered a cache of
miscellaneous items stolen
by the girls, which they had
thrown beneath the floor
of a barn in the rear o f the
first block of E. Main
Street.
The items included seven
flashlights, a screwdriver set,
beads, a notebook, an ash
tray, a corn cob pipe and two
packages of chewing tobacco,
plus pencils and some first
aid items.
The girls were tak en into
custody a fte r a resident in the
firs t block of E. Main Street
noticed them loitering near a
barn on the Edwin S. Stroble
property an d acting suspici­ously.
One of th e girls was observ­ed
throwing something ben­ea
th th e barn. Police were
summoned and found the
articles which the girls ad ­mitted
stealing from unlock­ed
parked automobiles on the
Morgan P ap e r Co. lot.
In most cases, police said,
they hadn’t received reports
of thefts, probably because
car owners hadn’t looked
into their glove campart-ments
lately.
Police said th e 1’3-year-old
girl has a previous record for
petty larceny. They told
police they committed all of
the thef ts on Saturday.

Reader Suggests
Moravian Star
In Yule Decor
A re ad e r of the Record-Ex­press
has sugges ted th a t Lit­itz
incorporate into its Chris t­mas
decorations a Moravian
advent star.
The sugges tion came from
an Ea s t Lincoln Avenue wom­an
who p referred to remain
anonymous. She suggested
when the gaily colored' <JKnst~
mas lights a r e installed, th a t
a Moravian s ta r be placed on
th e flag pole a t the Square.
She said she felt it would
provide a proper religious at-omsphere
to the commercial­ization
of Chris tmas lighting
and would be in keeping with
the historical an d religious
traditions of th e town.
The woman explained th a t
she was not a member of the
Moravian Church but felt
“Lititz need not be ashamed
of its past and should share
the good old things of the
town with othe r s .’’
Chris tmas lighting is in ­stalled
by the borough.
LANDING OF THE PILGRIMS
1st Thanksgiving
And How It Began
The wa te r was too shallow
to land the boat. But the
h a rb o r was well sheltered,
and it looked like the kind of
landing place they were seek­ing.“
Bring her alongside th a t
ro c k ! ’’ said Captain Miles
Standish.
The tiny boat, its ma s t split
in th re e places, tu rn ed its
side to the grey December
sea and drifted up agains t the
gre a t boulder. The intrepid
Standish stepped over the gun-whale
and planted his foot on
th e New England granite.
The boulder was— Plymouth
Rock. ... , , ..
~ m y -
“Hie end of the beginning.”
Behind lay persecution,
exil<— and the momentous
decision to seek religious
freedom in the uncharted
New World. Ahead lay
hardship, death — and im­mortality.
It was four days • before
Chris tmas when Standish and
his small group of men went
ashore a t Plymouth. They re ­tu
rn ed to the Mayflower, a n ­chored
off Provincetown, with
the good news th a t a site for
the new settlement had been
found.
On December 2 6th th e May­flower,

winds, made a successful pas­sage
into Plymouth Harbor.
The Mayflower had set out
for America on September 16,
16 20, with 102 passengers.
On November 19th, land was
sighted. A few days la te r the
Pilgrims met in the cabin of
the ship and drew up the
famous “Mayflower Compact” ,
establishing themselves as a
civic body undqr a govern­ment
of law. It is one of the
gre a t documents in man ­k
in d ’s search for freedom.
The Pilgrims ’ firs t winter
is a tragic— and precious —
page in American history. Be­fore
the .winter was over, half
' had perished
of disease, hunger, and ex­posure.
The dead were buried on
nearby Cole’s Hill, and
grain was sown over the
burial jdot to conceal from
the Indians how many of
the band had died. It was
feared that this knowledge
might embolden the Indians
to make an attack.
Early in March th e incredi­bly
cold winter finally began
to recede. On March 26th
an o th e r hopeful event took
place when Samoset, grand
sachem of the Monhegan In ­dians,
entered the village ex­claiming
“Welcome!” Through
him the P u r i ta n s became ac­quainted
with Squanto, and
these two Indian's played an
important role in the his tory
of the Colony.

Police Say Work May
Not Have Been By
Local Persons
Pennsylvania State Police
and th e Federal Bureau of
Investigation have entered the
probe of the bombings at
thre e Lititz homes while dis ­covery
of an unexploded bomb
a t Ea s t Pe te r sburg last week
put a new light on the case.
State Police were called to
an Eas t Pete r sb u rg home
where an unexploded bomb
was discovered. Unlike the
ones which damaged the
homes here, State police said,
th e Ea s t Pete r sb u rg bomb
was wrapped in an improvised
cardboard, tubing.
Discovery of the bomb
led police to believe the
persons responsible for the
planting of bombs a t the
homes here may not have
been local.
Chief of Police Lloyd J.
Hoffman said the remnants of
th e bombs which shattered
windows in th re e local houses
were undergoing a laboratory
test to de te rmine th e con­tents.
State Police said the bomb
found at Eas t Pete r sb u rg was
also sent to th e State Police
Crime Laboratory a t Ha r r i s ­burg
for examination.
Meanwhile the FBI reques t­ed
and was given information
concerning the local bombing
cases. Police said the FBI is
interested in all “ bombings”
and a t an F.B.I. school for local
police officers last week con­ducted
a ■ session on the sub­ject.
Chief Hoffman said he also
conferred with Chief of Police
John M. Kauffman, Manheim
Twp., and learned th e town­ship
had a series of home­made
bomb explosions earlier
this year.

Board O.K.’s Present
Schedule For Athletics
Warwick High School will
vote agains t a proposal by
the County Superintendent of
Schools, R. L. Eshleman,
which would curtail its a th ­letic
program.
By a split 4-3 margin the'
Warwick School Board in­structed
Supervising Principal
G. Marlin Spaid to vote again­s
t the 1>roposal a t a meeting
of county principals on De­cember
2.
Eshleman had proposed th a t
schools discontinue all u n ­necessary
evening activities on
nights when school is to be
in session the following day.
He has called the meeting of
principals for a vote on the
matter.
It would affect primarily
the basketball and wrestling
schedules. Although Eshle­man
h a d n ’t indicated when
the rule would go into effect
if it js passed, here is how
it would have tr immed this
y e a r ’s program:
Of Warwick’s 18 schedul­ed
basketball games, nine
would have been cut, in­cluding
four league games
and eleven of Warwick’s
12 wrestling meets would
have been ruled out, or
could' have been held after
school.
Voting to retain the pres­ent
setup were Directors
Richard S. Allebach, , H, Ray
Bushong, Raymond C. Groff
and Dr. Howard B. Minnich.
School Board Pres ident Wil­b
u r H. Grayhill and Directors
W. Clyde Hendricks and
F r a n k H. Longenecker lined
up in favor of Esh leman ’s
proposal. i
Views Aired
During a discussion of the
proposal Hendricks said he
felt “schools are for the thre e
R ’s, not athletics .” He pro­posed
th a t games could be*
played a f te r school instead of
in the evening. Longenecker
said he felt “we have to have
some (athletics) hut we ’re
going too far. I t ’s high time
some curtailment is done on
it .”
In making his proposal
Eshleman said “ night games
interfe re with school work.”
Allebach said the move
would “ put us back into the
realm again of doing what
parents ought to do.
were merely exploded in an
open field, and not affixed to
the windows of houses. In
th a t instance, police said, the
explosive material was traced
to a mixture of ingredients
available at d ru g stores.
In the Manheim Twp. cases,
Chief Hoffman said, copper
tubing was used to pack the
explosive ingredients, instead
of the television antenna tu b ­ing
used here.
He said police expected the
result of the laboratory tests
sometime this week. The tests
a re being made in the lab­oratory
of a county industry.
Police were hoping a know­ledge
of the ingredients would
fuhnish them with a possible
clue.
Saturday a week ago bombs,
taped to windows, caused
d amage a t the homes of
George E. Smith, 40 E. Sec­ond
Ave., Ja ck C .Gregory,
241 Fro n t St., and Monroe
Shreiner, 126 S. Spruce St. No
one was injured.
Timetable
Sought On
Water Job
Borough Council last night
decided to seek an estimated
timetable from Lititz Machine
Co. on the completion of th e
w a te r line job on E. Main
Street.
Council instructed Borough
Manager David J. Bauer to
get an estimate on th e n um­ber
of working days which
will be required to finish the
job and furnish it to council.
If the timetable is not satis ­factory,
council said, it will
seek anothe r meeting with
the contractors.
Council was told that in­stallation
of pipe is mov­ing
ahead but that digging
laterals into the water users
lias slowed. Hauer report­ed
that the company w ill
bring in another piece of
equipment in an effort to-expedite
the lateral work.
The borough also ins truc t­ed
th a t bids for a new
borough lockup should be
asked. The Bureau of Cbr-reetion
of the State Jus tice
Department has ordered Lititz
to build a new lockup facility.
Council was informed it
would have to comply or face
a fine or possible jail sen­tence
should it re tu rn the pre­sent
lockup facilities to the
basement of the borough
building.
Bids will be asked so the
item might be included in
next y e a r ’s budget. Council
