were not to be found when
state officials sought infor­mation
on ju s t what steps will
be tak en to clean up the huge
piles of garbage remaining
there.
And no wonder the Ham­mer
Creek was polluted —
for practically all of the g a r ­bage

and Reading were be­ing
dumped there for a con­siderable
length of time, it

routes 322 and 501 in the

“Beauty Starts At Lititz ”
—this is the captivating title
of' an Interesting article pub­lished
this month in Oilways,
official magazine of the Esso
Oil Company.
But before you get the
wrong impression, the auth o r
of the article is not referring
to Lititz ’ fair-sex, who are as
fair as those anywhere, but
is describing the role being
enacted by the Lamhert-Hud-n
u t plant here.
“ Fo r women is many walks
of life, -beauty aids by Richard
Hudnut, Du Barry and Ciro
are ways of putting th e i r best
la c e s forward , . . one could
say th a t the ir beauty s ta r ts at
Lititz.” the article reads. -
“Last year the women of
America spent $1,622,200,000
on cosmetics, perfumes and
toiletries. This spending be­haviour
might conservatively
be termed enthusiastic. At
any rate, it is a good reason
for the existence of the Lam-b
e r t-Hudnut Manufacturing
Laboratories , Inc., a t Lititz,
P a .”
The article dscribes in de­tail
the efficiency of th e local
plant and the many products
which are shipped daily from
Lititz. The Oilway Magazine

Bankers Oppose Change
In Banking Hours
Local hankers do not be­lieve
th a t a change in b an k ­ing
hours would give a boost
to retail shopping in Lititz.
This was the opinion ex­pressed
by representatives of
the two local hanks who spoke
Monday evening at a meeting
of the Lititz Retailers Com­mittee,
held in the Business
League.
Retailers who asked the
bankers to .attend the meeting-have
asked the banks to re ­sume
Saturday morning b an k ­ing
hours or, if this is not
done, to continue Friday night,
basking hours to correspond-with
the hours local stores
are- open.
Bankers present, however,
expressed t h e " opinion th a t
other factors, mainly the re ­building
of Ea s t Mam Street,
are advor.sf-tv aiTooting m a i l
business here for the present.
The eliminating of the S a tu r ­day
morning hours and the
practice of remaining open
from 5 to 7:30 p.m. Fridays
has proved popular with cus­tomers
■ of the hanks, tiiev
said.
In pressing their request
for -different hanking hours,
r e t a i l e r s ' declared th a t when
b a n k s , close their doors, the
volume of retail shopping-drops
off almost immediately.
They expressed the opinion
th a t by keeping banks open
later Friday evenings would
prove a boost to business
here.
Bankers attending the meet­ing
were Alferd L. Douple,
representing the Fa rme r s - Na­tional
Bank and Leroy Kling,
Die l.ililz Springs Bank.

Local Group Gets Back
From Ball Game At
6 A.M.
Wh a t s ta rted out to be a
trip to Philadelphia to see the
Phillies play tu rn ed into an
all-night party for members of
the Lititz Rotary Club last
Wednesday evening due to a
balky bus!
To s ta r t with, members of
the local club got off to a
late s t a r t when the bus f ig u r ­ed
in a minor collision even
before it reached the General
Sutter Hotel. This time was
made up and the Rotarians
witnessed a real humdinger of
a game, with the Phillies a l­most
winning in the tenth.
Back on the bus a t 11:30
and the trip home scarcely was
s ta rted to act more like a
bucking bronco th a n a. bus
eves before they got back on
the turnpike. After a delay of
an hour, a mechanic arrived
on the scene and got the
motor running again.
Again the group headed for
Lititz only to have the car
go on the fritz again a few
miles fu r th e r on. With the
bus parked between Valley
Forge and Morgantown, the
driver flagged a car and head­ed
westward in search of as­sistance.
I t was th en about
2 a.m.
For three hours the group
sat in the bus as traffic whiz­zed
past.
“They say this highway is
patrolled every seven min­ute
s ,” one member reminded
the group a fte r several hours
had passed and no sign of a
policeman — or any other
form of assistance had shown
up.
Finally a t 5 a.m. another
bus from Lancas ter arrived
on the scene and the R o ta r ­ians
were trans fe r red to it.
The group sleepily arrived
back a t the hotel ju s t as the
Moravian Church clock s truck
six.
The least pe rturbed member
o'f th e group was the Rotary
Club’s guest from Hong Kong,
Miss Chan, who commented
upon th e rare, good humo r of
her guests th ro u g h o u t the or­deal.
Main St.
Ahead Of
Schedule
•Despite th a t changes in the
drainage system were found
necessary and have delayed
work in the first block of E.
Main Street, the s tre e t re ­building
project still is well
ahead of schedule, contractors
repor ted yesterday.
The principal change is at
the fountain where a new
s torm sewer line is being run
from Broad Street to the
fountain. An old line running
from the edge of the hotel
property to the fountain was
scrapped as being useless.
Whe the r a new s torm sew­er
pipe installed a t Doster’s
corner is adequate was ques­tioned
over the week-end
when comparatively mild
storms all but filled the new
pipe, even though it is larger
than the previous one there.
Cedar Street from ' IViain to
North Alley also was torn
up this week. This section and
the same length of Locust
Street are being rebuilt by
the borough in conjunction
with th e state re-building of
Main Street. A hump which
created a hazardous condition
on Cedar Street, will be .re­moved.
Work of laying the curbs
along Main Street also con­tinued
well ahead of schedule,
