To avoid this conflict the borough agreed to inves tigate the possibility of moving West Second St. two and one-half feet to the south-west. This would put 1200 ft. of line u n der the grass 'strip between the curb and the sidewalk. While this would leave 700 ft. of the line still in contention both the borough an d the pipe line feel th a t , this c^n be worked out a t a later do te as work on this area of tbe^s treet will not begin for a t l e a s t 'a n othe r two years, i The pipe line received this r ig h t of way from the Moravian Church in 1955 when the line was first laid.

The high light of the evening, however, was the 5 gallons of ice cream which was dished out a t the close of the meal. The ice cream was prepared by the Harold' Vander family, th e Bob Bingeman family, and the Bob Griffith family. As will happen a t any event while the wives slaved over the outside grills th e men and children played quoits, croquet and badmitten.

A large n umbe r of complementary tickets were given out this ye a r so park officials estimate th a t the crowd was ab out the same as usual. A large n umb e r of early admissions was noted this year, b u t the evening was far below par, due mostly to the increased com petition of nearby holiday cele brations.

Gibbel, 6 Eas t Third Street, this borough, who left Monday afternoon from the Lancaster Airport on a flight to the South American country. Gibbel has been assigned to serve as as s is tant to the field secretary of the Church of the Brethren Mission which is located in a small village near Quito, Ecuador. The secretary is George H. Kreps, a nephew of Mrs. Anna H. Kreider, South Broad Street. His duties will be varied but his primary responsibility will be to serve as business manage r and tr e a su re r and do the bookkeeping for the mis sion program.

Senate fails to r e verse action taken by the Sen-nate State Government Committee. On Friday the committee voted to cut the bid fo r a loan of $503,801 for land acquisition and construction, a f ter ii had been passed by the Library To Operate On New Hours Increased library hours will o into effect as soon as the library trans fe r s its volumes from the elementary school building to the General Sutter early next month. / As soon as the tran s fe r is completed the library will be open on Tuesday, from 7 to 9 p.m., and Thursday, 2 to 4 p.m. These hours a re expected t,o increase as sooh as more volunteer help is obtained. Alfred Douple repor ted th a t the linoleum has been repaired and the floors cleaned in the new room in the Hotel Sutter and th a t a library sign will be installed this week. Members of the Jaynecees are planning to vacuum each volume before the move. The board also announced a heed for more shelving as soon as the move is made. They s ta ted th a t a f te r the move they will not -have enough shelving to hold all 6000 volumes. I t was repor ted th a t J . Marlin Spaid, supervising principal, refused the reques t of t h e board to permit removal of the shelves from the school to the new temporary qua rte rs , claiming th a t the shelves belong to the school dis trict and are needed for the elementary library. Dr. Byron Horne, of Linden Hall, has donated a number of shelves, and i t is hoped th a t many other s will do the same. LociU .sportsmen are urging the public to write mid pilone their Senators in hopes of reversing the committee’s action when it conies up for discussion before the full Senate very shortly. Wallace Lausch, local sp o r ts man, stressed the fact th a t the action of the committee lias not changed the status of the dam completely. The action has dimmed hopes, however, of completing the project in the near future. He pointed out th a t the money will be available in the future, as previously planned, but tha t failure to get the loan from the government could cause a lengthy delay in construction. “Actually, we h a d n ’t expected to s ta r t construction this summer,’’ Wallace stated, “ but if the bill would pass the Senate, it would still be possible to do so.” Other sportsmen a re trying earnestly to make the Senate reconsider the move. Besides writing and calling, several of the sportsmen are meeting- on Monday evening to discuss the future of the project. The proposed lake would impound the waters of Hammer Creek a t a point ius t west of Zartman's Mill, forming a lake extending for over a mile. The State Fish Commission had previously cleared the way to condemn three tr a c ts 'wh ic h were holding up the development. Fishing and boating would be permitted on the lake which would be banned to p o w e r boats. The Fish Commission would stock the lake. The next time Don Kepner, local real es tate broker, goes on a vacation— he plans to take Ray Mease, local garage-man, along with him, if a t all possible! For, according1 to Don, Ray, in exactly thre e minutes time made repairs which would have saved he and his family many hours! of tedious concern as well as several hundred miles of traveling. Mr. and Mrs. Kepner and the ir two chilren, along with Mr. and Mrs. Ross Jones, and the ir thre e children, had spent last week camping ’ in the Shenandoah Lake Region in Virginia. The camping trip, in which the groups used camping trailers sold by Mease, had included many thrills, in cluding the killing of a large copperhead snake. Sunday the Kepners were r e turning home when, eighty miles from home, south of Gettysburg, the ir car broke down. Garagemen of th e area were called but could not get the car s tarted. Finailly in desperation, Don called friends in Lancas ter who drove to the spot and b rought the family here, a rr iving a f te r midnight. (Continued on page 3) 1,000People See Circus Perform’ces Approximately 1,000 persons saw the first circus to come to Lititz in many years, last Friday, according to local l i ttle league officials. , I t was also reported’ th a t the local little leagues received about $300 for the ir efforts, a figure much lower th a n was expected. Officials s tated th a t the r e a son for the low figure was the fact that, many of the salesmen, mostly baseball players, failed even to buy tickets .for themselves and instead p u r chased them at the gate. Wljile the local organization did get a small percentage of th e gate sales, they were awarded 50% of the advanced sales. Most of those in attendance, were very pleased with the performance and all agreed it was a worthwhile project for Lititz. While rain spoiled the afternoon show to some extent, an exciting evening performance was reported. It was hoped th a t this circus program would finance the little league program foi;, the year so th a t donations wouldn’t have to be solicited from local organizations; however, the profit will not cover all of the expenses and some soliciting may be needed. SHOO IN DAMAGE IN ACCIDENT HERE A two car accident occurred last Wednesday n i g h t on the corner of Fro n t and Wa te r St. when Mrs. Florence Long, 16 F ro n t St., failed to yield a r ight of way and rammed into the r ight side of a car driven by Mrs. Romaine Weik, 34 E.

Jn a compromise decision
on Tuesday evening, Elser Gerhart
was given permission by
the Hoard of Zoning Adjus tment
to construct his Goche-mr

planned.
llussell Market. inKteru-mental
in breaking the deadlock,
stated th a t he felt th a t
the house as planned a t this
moment has more yard th an
it would have otherwise and
th a t this was the deciding factor.
As the home s tands now it
will have a 10 ft. re a r yard and
a 17 ft. front yard. In allowing
this footage the board is
conceding 10 ft. to the re a r
and 8 ft. to the front.
The property on which the
home is to he built was p u r chased
before the zoning went
into effect, so the Board could
not deny Ge rha rt th e r ig h t to
build. However, the Board did
have the r ig h t -to-— Judge
whether the builder was com
plying as closely as was possible
to the zoning ordinance.
Last week the board was u n able
to reach a decision on the
case and if no decision had
been reached before Aug. 12
Gerhart would have a u toma t i cally
been able to continue.
The decision was reached
-ithout the vote of Leon De-

for a total of 2000 ft. and obs
truc t the line ’s r ig h t of way.
To avoid this conflict the
borough agreed to inves tigate
the possibility of moving West
Second St. two and one-half
feet to the south-west. This
would put 1200 ft. of line u n der
the grass 'strip between the
curb and the sidewalk.
While this would leave 700
ft. of the line still in contention
both the borough an d the
pipe line feel th a t , this c^n be
worked out a t a later do te as
work on this area of tbe^s treet
will not begin for a t l e a s t 'a n othe

The pipe line received this
r ig h t of way from the Moravian
Church in 1955 when the
line was first laid.
As a quorum was n o t pre s ent
a t the meeting, the P la n ning
Commission was able to
take only tentative steps.
s tre e t so th a t the children
could play unsupervised.
Tables filled with salads, re l ish
trays, cookies, and the ever
present potato-chips were
the center of a tt ra c t io n with
Bar-b-que and hot dogs as the
second feature.
The high light of the evening,
however, was the 5 gallons
of ice cream which was
dished out a t the close of the
meal. The ice cream was prepared
by the Harold' Vander
family, th e Bob Bingeman family,
and the Bob Griffith family.
As will happen a t any event
while the wives slaved over
the outside grills th e men and
children played quoits, croquet
and badmitten.
Watching the party, with its
friendly ch a t te r and neighborly
fun, it was easy to see why
th e very popular event, a t one
time, was being revived. As the
res idents of New St. put it,
“We’ll sure have to do this
ag a in ” .
