«■JweWv« nHk 1 The Lititz Record - Express Serving The Warwick Union Area For Nearly A Century TO CALL BORO POLICE MA 6-2209 TO REPORT A FIRE MA 6-2100 85th Year E s ta b lis h e d A p ril, 1877, a s T h e S u n b e am (C o n so lid a te d w ith T h e l l t l t z R e cord, 1937) Lititz, Lancaster Co., Pa., Thursday, November 9, 1961 7 c e n ts a Copy; 83.00'p e r y e a r b y m a ll w ith in L a n c a s te r C o u n ty ; $3.SO e lsew h e re . 12 P a g e s -------- No. 30 Surprisingly Large Turnout Of Voters Marks Election Here NOW LET THE CRUEL W IN D S BLOW! In a surprisingly large tu r n out of voters in view of the scarcity of interest-arousing contests, Lititz and Warwick area voters turned in over tliree-to-one majorities for Republican candidates in the general election Tuesday. And if there was any truly convincing indication from the voting — it was that very few voters using the voting machines will — or can - write-in names of candidates not appearing on tile ballot. This was interpreted as explaining the preponderent majority accorded Dr. Ar th u r S. (iriswold who was elected Lititz Mayor by a vote of 1,032 to only a2 voti*s cast for Harold Zander, Democratic nominee. whose name did not appear on the ballot. Zander polled only a margin of votes received by othe r Democratic candidates whose names were on tlie machines. Lucky 30 Jackpot Now $225 The “ Lucky 30” Jackpot climbed to $175 this week to bring the contest to ta l to an all-time high of $225 as the drawing goes into its ncxt-to- last week. Winner of the $25, where the person mus t be. present, *was Edith Foltz, 122 W. Lemon St. George Evans, for the third time, won the $25 in me r chandise vouchers where the person need not be present. But, as usual, he was present. Last Saturday the vouchers were won by Robert K. Summers, L i t i t z ‘R3, present; and Michael Kane, 250 Noble St., not present. Merchants urged everyone to register in the ir local stores lor the $225 worth of prizes to be awarded this week. The drawing, held every Saturday a t 10:30 a.m. near the Square, will be over Saturday a fte r next. In the only other contest of borough wide interest, Harold Kauffman and Paul F. Diehm were elected Jus tices of the Peace, d e f e a t i n g Charles Krushinski, Democratic nominee. Kauffman, whose name appeared on both the Republican and Democratc columns, polled the high vote of 1,200 in the three borough wards. Jus tice of the Peace Paul F. Diehm, up for re-election, polled 1,003 votes while Krushinski received a total of 321 votes. Judge Joseph B. Wissler, of Kissel Hill, was the highest vote-getter in the borough re ceiving a total of 1,333 votes in hs unopposed re-electon for j a third ten-year term as Judge of the Lancaster County Court of Common Pleas. Percentage-wise, the newly-created Third Ward captured borough honors for getting out the vote Tuesday, with a total of 437 votes cast. A tota l of 469 votes were cast in the Second Ward but in this ward the regis tration is somewhat la rge r than th e Third Ward. Fir s t Ward voters n umbered 454, making a total of 1,360 votes cast in the borough. (Continued on p a g e - 6) PROMOTED!

Curtis Long New Mail Route In Operation A four th foot-delivery route will be put into operation in the borough s ta r tin g this Monday, Pos tma s te r Richard C. Rader announced this week. Curtis Long will be elevated to th e ran k of regular career carr ier a t th a t time and permanently assigned to the new route located to the east and southe a s te rn section of town. George Kamm, who has been employed as an auxiliary assistant, will succeed Long as subs titute carrier. The establishment of the new route, to be known as City Route No. 4, is the first increase here in the past 25 years. Mr. Rad e r pointed out th a t although there was an auxiliary route in operation for the. last three years, an inspection of all routes this fall showed th a t th e incoming mail volume increased to such an extent th a t th e office qualified and was granted this additional regula r route. Comparatively, Lititz now-ranks third in the n umbe r of re g u a r carriers in the county, with four town and four rura l routes. All rura l routes have been classified as “ heavy d u ty ” because of the size and large volume of mail handled, each requiring 4 0 hours weekly to serve. Only Columbia and Ephra-ta exceed this number of carriers. \ (Continued on page 6) No Mail Deliveries This Saturday No mail deliveries will be made this Saturday, Veterans Day, Pos tma s te r Richard Rad er announced this week. Neither local or ru r a l carr iers will repor t for duty. The postoffice lobby will re main open for the convenience of holders of boxes until 6 p.m. Mr. Rade r also announced th a t special delivery mail will be delivered in town as usual. - Covering tip th e fo u n ta in , trim m in g th e sh ru b b e ry a n d ra c k in g th e leaves in th e S q u a re is only on e of th e many ta sk s fa c ing b o ro u g h w o rkm en a s th ey p re p a re fo r — R eco rd -Ex p ress Photo, th e w in te r m o n th s ah e ad .

Lititz Borough Now Well Prepared For Blizzards — Or Come What May! The Borough of Lititz is be tte r prepared to face the rigors of winter snows than ever before — th a t is, a fte r it disposes of an o th e r hundred tons or so of leaves! And while the task of “winterizing” a borough is a gigantic one, the borough force has been busily engaged for the past five weeks in preparing for whatever is in store in the months ahead. The first big job facing borough workmen in the fall is the ga ther ing of leaves. This year the task s ta rted October 6th with F ran k Brown and Charles Sweitzer manning the huge vacuum cleaner a t tached to the borough truck. Raymond Landis, borough works super intendent, who has kept an a c curate record ' of when and where leaves were collected yes terday estimated th a t to-date the borough has gathered in a total of from th re e hun d red to th re e h u n dred and fifty tons of leaves. The leaves are tak en to nearby farms where the owners are glad to get them and use them as fertilizer. Once drawn into the leaf-collecting machine, the leaves are cut up and packed tightly with the result th a t each truckload weighs in the neighborhood of two tons. Dry weather favored the task up to the las t week-end when ra in stopped the work for several days. And once the leaves have been wet, they a re much more difficult to gather , workmen explained. Operating the leaf-collector is a job in itself. “You have stiff shoulders for the first Three Divide Loot Stolen From Lockers The systematic looting of boys’ gym lockers a t Warwick High School was reported solved yesterday a fte r Chief of Police George Hicks questioned three teen-agers who will be a rra igned before county juvenile officials. In thre e separate lootings dating back to early October, a total of $60 in cash was re moved from clothing hanging in the lockers, Chief Hicks said. Questioning of th e trio has revealed th a t two of the youths did th e looting on the suggested planning by the third s tudent. The three then divided the money obtained from the lockers. Police also questioned two othe r youths, both of whom received a small p a r t of the money. Ail five agreed, Chief Hicks said, th a t the two were given the money and did not know th a t it was stolen.

While the leaf-collecting was in progress, Landis has been busily engaged readying othe r equipment, most of which the borough did not possess one year ago. At th a t time the only borough-owned snow-removal equipment was a small plow to be attached to one of the borough’s trucks. This y e a r ’s a rray of equipment includes a large snow blower which arrived late last winter, too late to be used in the heaviest of the snows; a large V-plow to be attached to tlie front of the. borough tra c tor, plus a second plow to be used on a rented tra c tor — (Continued on page 6) “How Great Thou Art” Most Popular Hymn “How Great Thou A r t” is the Warwick Are a ’s favorite hymn.

NOAH GIBRLE 1 SIGHT OF EYE ¿OSES’ Noah Gibble re tu rn ed home Friday a fte r spending a week in the Lancas ter General Hospital. Mr. Gibble lost the sight of an eye when hit by a stray pellet the first half hour of hunting on Kissel Manor farm. Protest Lodged Of Over-Crowding In Proposed Sutter Village Development A violent protest arguing that the proposed Goberman- Kendlg development, Sutter Village, would down-grade Lititz as a residential community, was voiced by a troup of aroused citizens at a meeting of the Lititz Planning Commission last T h u r s d a y night. But despite lenglity and e-motion- filled protestations by the citizens’ group, local planners asserted the proposed new development was meeting all zoning regulations in force and saw no reason for hindering the s ta r t of homes-building here. Led by Robert Derek, local landscape architect,, the citizens made a last-ditch stand to try to convince tlie Plan ning Commission th a t the proposed development would noi be iu the best interests of the community. G o b c r m a n and Kendig, however, had not left the citizens much room to fight. Hampered by the fact th a t the development fulfills all of the ordinances and policies on the borough books, the citizens group was forced to fall hack on public opinion and overcrowding of the facilities of the borougli to lengthen their arguments. Derek based his campaign on the fact th a t the development, if it is developed to ils Who Jumped The Gun On The Boro Pool? Is somebody playing a practical joke — or who jumped the gun? Lititz Borough Council will not vote on the proposed boro financed swimming pool until its next meeting, November 13. But if you tu rn to your new I). & E. Telephone Directory, turn to Page 191 and let your eye travel halfway down the last column on the page, here is what you, to your amazement, will find: “L ititz Sp rin g s Swimming Pool, West O ran g e St. >1A 0- 8 4 8 4 .” If you dial the number, however, the ope ra tor will inform you th a t th e r e is no Lititz Springs Pool listed in h e r dir ectory. A bit xof additional detective work may tak e you directly to the D. & E. Tel. & Tel. office in Ephra ta . There you will politely be informed th a t though the listing was authorized August 10 (long before bids for the pool were even opened), they a re not a t liberty to tell you who phoned iu the “ phony” listing. So th e re you arc. a nonexistent pool listed in an othe rwise precise and very real telephone directory. The possibility of a pra c tical joke was quickly ruled out. The question of whether anyone advocating the pool might be so confident of victory as to go ahead and list it a t least a year ahead of time, still goes unanswered. That the pool might still be considered a controversial issue in Lititz, was a new angle. And who pays for a listing for a phone a year in advance? Well, th a t doesn’t e.ven come within the public interes t, jus t a ma t te r between the telephone company and some mysterious, anonymous s tranger. Actually a t the last counting of heads, borough council was not unanimous in its att itu d e toward going ahead with the pool. And the tru s t agreement between council and the Chamber of Commerce and Jaycees, likewise remained in doubt. The only tiling sure was th a t if the pool is built — it will have a phone — and the number will be MA 6-84 84!

By C lau d ia H o s te tte r “Mary Ann mus t have an ide a !” laughed Joe Dostor as he held a light bulb over Mary Ann Hess’ head. “ I seen one like him before on televis ion!” quipped Greg Carman, Mr. C a rma n ’s son. Greg was looking a t Mose Eckert, who was wearing a paper bag over his head. This isn’t so unusual, but the front of the bag was cut o u t 's o th a t Mose looked like an Arabian Ernie Kovaks. (The cutout part of the bag was rolled into a cigar shape and stuck, somewhat droopily, in Mose’s mo u th . ) These are only a few things that, happen a t play practice. The public has very little idea of what ingredients go into a s u c c e s s f u l Warwick High School class play. I t ’s obvious th a t many people spend a lot of time rehearsing, obtaining property, and painting scenery; hut wha t happens every evening a t play practice to keep the spirit alive? What d i version is the re a fte r you’ve seen the play 20 times and know the entire thing by memory? Even the best joke is stale a fte r you’ve laughed a t it a dozen times. Because of the pres sure of many school activities and mountainous waves of homework, o u r g radua t ing class has come to value time highly. Our generation sees a multitude of things to do in their shor t span of life. We hope all of you realize the valuable time and effort the seniors are putting into their play .......... your play. Included in o u r fabulous production is a song. Many of you have heard Bill Hamp sing before, and if you have I know- you’ll want to hear him again. If you a r e n ’t aware of Bill’s singing ability, come and hear some of our local talent. You may be pleasantly su r prised at its fine quality. One evening while Bill was reh e a r sing, the entire cast decided to sing along. With everyone ga thered around the piano, we recharged our batteries with song.

This was a local feud between the Blue Bloods and (Continued on page 6) maximum density, will have 628 homes in about 110 acre« of land, and that, at the same time it will still be labelled as “ Residential One". “ R1 residential means, ideal, can it he considered ideal to have 628 homes in 110 acres of land? 628 homes means a-boiit 2,800 people half of the population of Lititz in 110 acres. This is not R1 residential as we know R1 residential in Lititz. There is no reason to shove tha t many lots into, Llt-ilz. It stuns me to think of increasing the size of Lititz by one half in this small area of the borough.” Derek asserted. However, in laying out tho lots the developers have been careful to comply exactly with the zoning regulations in town and none of their lots fall short of the minimum re quired. John Kendig, speaking in behalf of the developers, gta-led: “Mr. Derek you. I think, are going on an erronious premis. Fir s t you assume each lot will have a home on It. Tha t is not true. While "we have made all tho lots on the plan for semi-detached homes not every lot will be semi-detached. And those th a t a re single homes will be built on the equilvalent of two ' semi-detached lots. “And it will take eight to ten years for this develpoment to become filled. At th a t time there will probably be 400 homes on the land,” Mr. Ken-' dig continued. , - “There is no desire on the part of the developers to crowd in this land and we are doing the best in our power to (Continued on page 6> HR.

Curtis Long New Mail Route In Operation A four th foot-delivery route will be put into operation in the borough s ta r tin g this Monday, Pos tma s te r Richard C. Rader announced this week. Curtis Long will be elevated to th e ran k of regular career carr ier a t th a t time and permanently assigned to the new route located to the east and southe a s te rn section of town. George Kamm, who has been employed as an auxiliary assistant, will succeed Long as subs titute carrier. The establishment of the new route, to be known as City Route No. 4, is the first increase here in the past 25 years. Mr. Rad e r pointed out th a t although there was an auxiliary route in operation for the. last three years, an inspection of all routes this fall showed th a t th e incoming mail volume increased to such an extent th a t th e office qualified and was granted this additional regula r route. Comparatively, Lititz now-ranks third in the n umbe r of re g u a r carriers in the county, with four town and four rura l routes. All rura l routes have been classified as “ heavy d u ty ” because of the size and large volume of mail handled, each requiring 4 0 hours weekly to serve. Only Columbia and Ephra-ta exceed this number of carriers. \ (Continued on page 6) No Mail Deliveries This Saturday No mail deliveries will be made this Saturday, Veterans Day, Pos tma s te r Richard Rad er announced this week.

Lititz Borough Now Well Prepared For Blizzards — Or Come What May! The Borough of Lititz is be tte r prepared to face the rigors of winter snows than ever before — th a t is, a fte r it disposes of an o th e r hundred tons or so of leaves! And while the task of “winterizing” a borough is a gigantic one, the borough force has been busily engaged for the past five weeks in preparing for whatever is in store in the months ahead. The first big job facing borough workmen in the fall is the ga ther ing of leaves. This year the task s ta rted October 6th with F ran k Brown and Charles Sweitzer manning the huge vacuum cleaner a t tached to the borough truck. Raymond Landis, borough works super intendent, who has kept an a c curate record ' of when and where leaves were collected yes terday estimated th a t to-date the borough has gathered in a total of from th re e hun d red to th re e h u n dred and fifty tons of leaves. The leaves are tak en to nearby farms where the owners are glad to get them and use them as fertilizer. Once drawn into the leaf-collecting machine, the leaves are cut up and packed tightly with the result th a t each truckload weighs in the neighborhood of two tons. Dry weather favored the task up to the las t week-end when ra in stopped the work for several days. And once the leaves have been wet, they a re much more difficult to gather , workmen explained. Operating the leaf-collector is a job in itself. “You have stiff shoulders for the first Three Divide Loot Stolen From Lockers The systematic looting of boys’ gym lockers a t Warwick High School was reported solved yesterday a fte r Chief of Police George Hicks questioned three teen-agers who will be a rra igned before county juvenile officials. In thre e separate lootings dating back to early October, a total of $60 in cash was re moved from clothing hanging in the lockers, Chief Hicks said. Questioning of th e trio has revealed th a t two of the youths did th e looting on the suggested planning by the third s tudent. The three then divided the money obtained from the lockers. Police also questioned two othe r youths, both of whom received a small p a r t of the money. Ail five agreed, Chief Hicks said, th a t the two were given the money and did not know th a t it was stolen.

While the leaf-collecting was in progress, Landis has been busily engaged readying othe r equipment, most of which the borough did not possess one year ago. At th a t time the only borough-owned snow-removal equipment was a small plow to be attached to one of the borough’s trucks. This y e a r ’s a rray of equipment includes a large snow blower which arrived late last winter, too late to be used in the heaviest of the snows; a large V-plow to be attached to tlie front of the. borough tra c tor, plus a second plow to be used on a rented tra c tor — (Continued on page 6) “How Great Thou Art” Most Popular Hymn “How Great Thou A r t” is the Warwick Are a ’s favorite hymn.

Protest Lodged Of Over-Crowding In Proposed Sutter Village Development A violent protest arguing that the proposed Goberman- Kendlg development, Sutter Village, would down-grade Lititz as a residential community, was voiced by a troup of aroused citizens at a meeting of the Lititz Planning Commission last T h u r s d a y night. But despite lenglity and e-motion- filled protestations by the citizens’ group, local planners asserted the proposed new development was meeting all zoning regulations in force and saw no reason for hindering the s ta r t of homes-building here. Led by Robert Derek, local landscape architect,, the citizens made a last-ditch stand to try to convince tlie Plan ning Commission th a t the proposed development would noi be iu the best interests of the community. G o b c r m a n and Kendig, however, had not left the citizens much room to fight. Hampered by the fact th a t the development fulfills all of the ordinances and policies on the borough books, the citizens group was forced to fall hack on public opinion and overcrowding of the facilities of the borougli to lengthen their arguments. Derek based his campaign on the fact th a t the development, if it is developed to ils Who Jumped The Gun On The Boro Pool? Is somebody playing a practical joke — or who jumped the gun? Lititz Borough Council will not vote on the proposed boro financed swimming pool until its next meeting, November 13. But if you tu rn to your new I). & E. Telephone Directory, turn to Page 191 and let your eye travel halfway down the last column on the page, here is what you, to your amazement, will find: “L ititz Sp rin g s Swimming Pool, West O ran g e St. >1A 0- 8 4 8 4 .” If you dial the number, however, the ope ra tor will inform you th a t th e r e is no Lititz Springs Pool listed in h e r dir ectory. A bit xof additional detective work may tak e you directly to the D. & E. Tel. & Tel. office in Ephra ta . There you will politely be informed th a t though the listing was authorized August 10 (long before bids for the pool were even opened), they a re not a t liberty to tell you who phoned iu the “ phony” listing. So th e re you arc. a nonexistent pool listed in an othe rwise precise and very real telephone directory. The possibility of a pra c tical joke was quickly ruled out. The question of whether anyone advocating the pool might be so confident of victory as to go ahead and list it a t least a year ahead of time, still goes unanswered. That the pool might still be considered a controversial issue in Lititz, was a new angle. And who pays for a listing for a phone a year in advance? Well, th a t doesn’t e.ven come within the public interes t, jus t a ma t te r between the telephone company and some mysterious, anonymous s tranger. Actually a t the last counting of heads, borough council was not unanimous in its att itu d e toward going ahead with the pool. And the tru s t agreement between council and the Chamber of Commerce and Jaycees, likewise remained in doubt. The only tiling sure was th a t if the pool is built — it will have a phone — and the number will be MA 6-84 84!

By C lau d ia H o s te tte r “Mary Ann mus t have an ide a !” laughed Joe Dostor as he held a light bulb over Mary Ann Hess’ head. “ I seen one like him before on televis ion!” quipped Greg Carman, Mr. C a rma n ’s son. Greg was looking a t Mose Eckert, who was wearing a paper bag over his head. This isn’t so unusual, but the front of the bag was cut o u t 's o th a t Mose looked like an Arabian Ernie Kovaks. (The cutout part of the bag was rolled into a cigar shape and stuck, somewhat droopily, in Mose’s mo u th . ) These are only a few things that, happen a t play practice. The public has very little idea of what ingredients go into a s u c c e s s f u l Warwick High School class play. I t ’s obvious th a t many people spend a lot of time rehearsing, obtaining property, and painting scenery; hut wha t happens every evening a t play practice to keep the spirit alive? What d i version is the re a fte r you’ve seen the play 20 times and know the entire thing by memory? Even the best joke is stale a fte r you’ve laughed a t it a dozen times. Because of the pres sure of many school activities and mountainous waves of homework, o u r g radua t ing class has come to value time highly. Our generation sees a multitude of things to do in their shor t span of life. We hope all of you realize the valuable time and effort the seniors are putting into their play .......... your play.

One evening while Bill was reh e a r sing, the entire cast decided to sing along. With everyone ga thered around the piano, we recharged our batteries with song.

This is not R1 residential as we know R1 residential in Lititz. There is no reason to shove tha t many lots into, Llt-ilz. It stuns me to think of increasing the size of Lititz by one half in this small area of the borough.” Derek asserted. However, in laying out tho lots the developers have been careful to comply exactly with the zoning regulations in town and none of their lots fall short of the minimum re quired. John Kendig, speaking in behalf of the developers, gta-led: “Mr. Derek you. I think, are going on an erronious premis. Fir s t you assume each lot will have a home on It. Tha t is not true. While "we have made all tho lots on the plan for semi-detached homes not every lot will be semi-detached. And those th a t a re single homes will be built on the equilvalent of two ' semi-detached lots. “And it will take eight to ten years for this develpoment to become filled. At th a t time there will probably be 400 homes on the land,” Mr. Ken-' dig continued. , - “There is no desire on the part of the developers to crowd in this land and we are doing the best in our power to (Continued on page 6> HR.
