School Board Keeps
Differences Of Opinion
Far In The Background
A FINE STREET — COMPLETED WITHOUT AN ARGUMENT!
Warwick U n i o n School
Board members played their
cards close to their chest at
th e i r meeting last Wednesday
night in an app a ren t effort to
do away with the controversy
the meetings have previously
been over-run with.
Though for a half h our pre­vious
to th e meeting they
could be heard a rguing noisily
in th e oflice adjoining the
meeting room by the time the
meeting was called to order
the, troubled waters had obvi­ously
been soothed, for the
length of the meeting a t least.
Aside from the usual gener­al
report, th re e items of in­teres
t came up during the
meeting but all of them were
quickly referred to private
committee meetings.
School Director Clyde Hen­dricks
repor ted th a t th e blue­prints
h ad been received for
the proposed addition to the
High School. ,
He was quickly reminded
th a t they should be looked ov­er
by the proper committee be­fore
being bro u g h t to the a t ­tention
of the public.
Someone made the mistake
of referring to the reques ted
gale of the Spruce St. property
Bichard Allebach quickly re ­to
r ted th a t while the commit­tee
which covered the sa le had
met, they h ad not found time
to discuss th e proposal. • No
move was made on the part, of
%tb® school board to schedule
M discussion of th e proposed
sale, nor was th e committe e
rebuked for its a p p a ren t t a r ­dines
s in dealing with the
problem.
The Special E d u c a t i o n
Teacher, Ba rb a ra L. Moran,
submitted her res ignation on
the grounds th a t the class was
too crowded and th a t it was
impossible to teach ao many
children, with th e i r emotional
problems. . . i
No committee was formed
to look into h e r complaints
nor was any positive- discus­sion
forthcoming on th e prob­lem.
The regisnation was ac­cepted,
effective J a n u a r y 1,
1962.
Other/ business was handled
with th e same production-line
efficiency.
Dr. H. B. Mlnnlch, head of
the athletic committee, re ­quested
th a t next year radio
stations not be allowed to use
the press box on the grounds
th a t it not only h u r t s a t te n d ­ance
a t the games but also
causes crowding.
The assessors were given
compensation for th e increased
valuation of properties in th e i r
area. This amounted to $2 2 2-
.8 5 or 1 mill on the increased
valuation.
Supervising Principal G.
Marlin Spaid announced th a t
the commencement speaker
for this year would be Lewis
B. Turne r , Ohio, a t a cost of
$100. He is a speech ins truc ­tor,
it was vaguely hinted.
The meeting adjourned at
9:00 p.m., one hour a f te r it
had opened, with th e one
question from the floor, reg a rd ­ing
the printing in the local pa­per
of duties of the business
manager, quickly silenced with
promise th a t the duties would
b e printed.
It was four weeks ago tha t
the duties were first read to the
board and a promise made to
print them. Mr. Spaid explained
th a t they could not be put in
the paper previous to this da te
because the office had not fin­ished
mimeographing them.

Gerhart Announces Development
Of $25,000 Homes In Borough
A new development s i tu a ­ted
entirely within the bor­ough
and to feature homes
valued a t $25,000 or more
each, was announced this
week by Elser Gerhart, ve te r­an
local builder.
The group of fourteen mod­ern
residences will be con­structed
between Fo u r th Ave­nue
and Sixth Avenue on
South Spruce Street.
In completing plans for his
development,, Mr. Ge rha rt has
circumvented any problems of
seeking borough financial aid
in the laying of utilities or
meeting paving problems.
During the past two months
he has completed th e ins tall­ation
of both sewer and water
ma ids ' along""‘T E r ^ h t l t r two-block
soction. Recently curbs
were laid and the s tre e t was
completely paved according to
b o r o u g h - a p p r o v e d specifica
tions.
The cost of this preliminary
work in addition to grading
the fu tu re home sites was ap­proximately
$25,000, entirely
as sumed by th e developer. The
entire section will be laid out
in lots with 100-foot frontage
each.
Lots -will be sold an d homes
will be built entirely to the
prospective owners' specifica­tions
in most instances. Ho al­so
will go ahead with th e con­struction
of modern homes to
be offered for sale upon com­pletion,
Mr. Ge rha r t explain­ed.
The extension of South
Spruce Street will coutlnue
the high-type of development
to a point ju s t n o r th of the
Keller Brother* Auto Compa­ny
property.
“ It is my hope th a t this will
beedme one of the finest sec­tions
within the borough of
Lititz," Mr. Ge rha rt said. “Tin:
homes will be in keeping with
the fine type of homes in the
Spruce Street section adjo in ­ing
this tr a c t to the n o r th .”
While work on the new
homes will begin in earnes t in
the early Spring, a consider­able
amo u n t of work is ex­pected
tq be done d u r in g the
winter months ahead, weather
permitting.

Benefit Stamp Auction
To Be Held This Evening
Cops To Study
Bank Robbing
One might inadve r tantly get
the idea th a t next Thursday
would be a good day to rob
a bank — in Lititz, th a t is.
For next Thursday, local po­lice
officers Dissinger, Lucas
and Hicks will be attending
an ail-day panel forum dis­cussion
— on the subject of
bank robberies.
The forum, which also will
take up several othe r police
functions, will be held in the
Swatara Township Building at
Harrisburg. But everything
here a t home will be perfectly
safe, it was explained, inas­much
as Officer Lloyd Long
will be on all-day duty.
The Ha r r i sb u rg me e ting is
sponsored by the Federal
Bure au of Investigation,
The stamp auction for the
benefit of the Lititz Recreation
Center will be held tonight in
the auditorium of the, new
“Roc” building beginning at
7:30 P.M.
Over the last two weeks the
total number of lots for the
Auction has jumped from 5 6
to a total now of 8 6. More ma­terial
is expected to come in
this evening and the re will
probably be at least 100 lots
available.
The variety of material
makes this auction attractive
to collectors of U.S. and for­eign
material alike and the
range features items for both
the beginner and advanced
collector.
UNDERGOES OPERATION

of this borough, and now
a res ident of Levittown, re ­cently

Those collectors who have
never participated in a stamp
auction before will he missing
a good chance to see how they
operate if they d o n 't make it
lo this one. A certain satis ­faction
comes from bidding on
item* of interost to tire indi­vidual
and in the success of
gaining the item for ones col-lee

Brand New
Scoreboard
A Big Hit
Warwick fans witnessed the
using of the new scoreboard
this past Saturday, as the
fighting Warriors defeated the
Conestoga Valley squad by a
score of 19-7.
U was believed th a t some
parts missing would delay the
use of the scoreboard this past
week, but a r rangement s were
made to have them delivered
in time for the game.
With the generous contr i­butions
made by the youth of
Lititz as well as the various
service organizations and the
public themselves, this pro­ject
was made possible. The
final amo u n t which the Boos­te

($275) was tu rn ed over to the

Zonere OK
Addition
To Laundry
Approval was granted Tues­day
night by the Board of
Zoning Adjus tment for the
Li ti tz Self-Service Laundry,
2 6 W. Main St., to enlarge its
shop and install several au to ­matic
dry-cleaning machines.
Approval of this plan was
needed from Die board b e ­cause
tho laundry is s ituated
"In'a'fo'sffte'ntia'l area and (hero-fore
is a non-conforming use.
Under the provisions of the
zoning ordinance a non-con-forming
use cannot expand
its facilities without the ap­proval
of the board and then
it mus t be able to prove to
tho board th a t its expansion
will not be de tr imenta l to the
urea.
Beoaus# tho expansion of
the laundry, owned by Ken
noth L. Zook, David B. Grein­er
and Norman B. Kline, will
bo located in what is now a
warehouse, tlie board felt tha t
the application could be gran t
ed.
Russel Markert, member of
the board, stated, “While
shop of this type in a res iden­tial
a rea is a non-conforming
use the board fools th a t tho
warehouse, which the laundry
will be expanding into, is even
more detrimental. Therefore
the board feels th a t this ap ­plication
should be g ran ted .”
David Greiner, m a n a g e r of
the laundry, stated th a t reno­vations
on the shop will begin
immediately and th a t the own­ers
hope to have all of the
renovations completed by the
beginning of the year.
