At th e same time th e plan of th e Lititz Shade Tree Commission to make Ea s t Main Street the mos t be au tiful s t re e t in this- are a was made public. The commission’s recommendations , on which council now seeks cost figures, follows: T h e over-all plan is to eventually have E a s t Main Street th e mos t beautiful s tre e t in this are a — and this can only be done with careful foresight. While uniformity of a single variety of trees would seem logical, this idea is vetoed because of thjp risk of some blight wiping out th e whole s t re e t before it could be checked. The plan would he to select six or eight Springs Park Boasts Piano Which Is Never Out of Tune! Folks on outings and picnics jus t a ren ’t too particular! At leas t th a t is the conclusion d rawn by Lititz Springs P a rk officials las t week when they made a futile effort to have the pa rk piano tuned up — for the fi r s t time in twenty years at least! Nobody had noticed th a t the piano in the bandshell was too fa r out of tune, th a t is nobody b u t a couple of local musicians who recommended th a t the tune-up job be -done. When the piano was tuned up, workmen found a bundle of 19 40 p a rk program wedged inside, indicating it had nor been opened up since th a t date, two score of years ago! I t also was discovered th a t the .piano s trings were so badly rus ted th a t it would be impossible to really tu n e up the piano. A few ad jus tments and s trings would be snapping r ight and left, it -was explained. B u t with th a t bundle of pa rk programs removed, workmen'de c la red the piano sounded a lot better anyway. Ana as far as local pa rk officials can remember, nobody has really protested over the sound of the piano anyway!

All corners would be kep t clear. Whe re new pavements mus t be made, wells would be deft for fu tu re planting. The Commission feels th e re a re th re e courses of action in replacing the trees: 1. The property owners r e place th e trees, entirely a t th e i r ow.n expense. 2. The p ro p e r ty owners and the Borough share th e cost of replacing th e trees. 3. The Borough pay for the entire cost of replacing the trees.

Talk About Your Fisherman’s Luck Talk about f i s h e r m a n ’s luck — th e Yingst family of this borough last week h ad i more th a n its share! Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Yingst, of Noble Street, the ir son, D o u g l a s , • and d a u g h t e r , Evonne, had long looked fo r ward to a week-end of deep-sea fishing a t Ocean City, Md. Once out on the bounding waves, however, Gordon became ill before he could drop his line, followed closely by the two children. Once back o.n shore they decided to fish from a bridge. Evonne’s reel wouldn’t work and so her fa th e r proceeded to fix i t — With th e re sult th a t his own rod fell in the water. He succeeded in re covering th e rob b u t in the act — lost his uppers, d e n tures, we mean. Next Mrs. Yingst went ne a r by to purchase a new reel and when she re turned, found th a t her rod had disappeared in th e water. And so, feeling eno u g h ’s enough, they gave up fishing and re tu rn ed home.

As the four groups met ii was soon appa rent the re arc thre e possible ways of building the sewer extension: (1) By the borough'; (2j By the Sewer Authority; (3) By the School Authority. School Soli-eitor William Arnold felt any of the th re e plans would be legal. Borough Manager David Bauer repor ted th a t ten-foot rights-of-way are no problem as he already has obtains.: options for the six rights-of ways needed from the owners of the six farms crossed by the proposed main. The opinion th a t the placing of sewer mains over lands in this area will enhance r a th e r than damage the properties was expressed by several members of the school board. The p re sence of the sewer facilities make these lands ripe for ue velopment as residences, it w'as staled. The picture was ■ a bit complicated by th e fact th a t lire bids for laying ,of th e sewer extension were received by borough council. With the sewer auth o r ity re luc tant to build the extension it was felt the school author ity should sign the -contracts. On the other hand, the school board received bids on the construction of a sewerage plan t at the school. And while this figure is approximately $52,000 as compared with the $65,000 cost of extending the sewer main, the sewer main in the long- ru n would prove much cheaper, school board members asserted. The operation of a sewerage plant a t the Brunnerviile School would cost from $2,5 00 to $3,000 a year, not including repa ir and maintenance costs. However, use of »the borough facilities would cost the school only approximately $500 per year.

Kissel Hill Lad Would Share 4Wages’ With Recreation Center At leas t one Kissel Hill omh is determined th a t th e | Recreation Center is going to get all the .funds it needs — if he can do anything about it! He is Douglas Blow, thirteen-year- old son of Mr. and Mrs. E rn e s t Blow, of Kissel Hill, an enterprising Boy Scout who believes th a t a worthy cause like the Center is one worth working up a sweat over. This week Douglas called up the Record and ordered the following classified advertisement placed in this week’s issue: WANTED — Boy, 13, d esires odd jobs. AVill d o n a te 50 p e r cent. o f e a rn in g s to R e c re a tio n I Cen ter. Call )U 0-7003. He wants work, Douglas explained, and he wants to help the Center get the funds needed to build the grand new Center building adjacent to the park. So So, lie explained, he figured he might get more work by shar ing his “wages” with the Center — and in th a t way both he and the Center will benefit. His fa th e r agreed and so he called up. with th e ad, Douglas emphasized. In addition, Douglas and some of Ms Boy Scout pals are planning to tu rn over proceeds from paper collections to the Center. ,And r ight now we"’re pre-difeting th a t , for Douglas, business is going to be real good!

As l p a r t of the plan, the borough also approved puchase of improved radio sets for the local police car.

Council also approved p u r chase of a camera by the police force for taking photographs of accidents, etc. The annexation of the Hogan Homes t r a c t also was approved on basis th a t the borough will receive land needed for its proposed reservoir on Kissel Hill, for-payment of one dollar.
