" * * m M ß York University, and the Graduate School o f , Arts and Sciences of the University of Pennsylvania, receiving the degrees of S.T.M. and S.T.D. from th e University of the State of New York, In 1958 Moravian College conferred upon his honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity. .

He is the author of “Through Five Hundred Years” and , numerous magazine articles. Dr. and Mrs. Schattschneider have a son, David, who is Chaplain’s assistant a t Northwestern University,; where he is studying on a Danforth Foundation grant. Final Ticket Sold Friday They’re over the top! From now on borough re sidents can swim in a financially solvent swimming pool — the pool made its budget. The budget making ticket was sold to the Paul Cooper family on Friday evening —- and ticket receipts are now well over the planned $15,000 mark. The sudden spurt in sales, following the pool opening, followed five months of slump when borough officials, despite smiles, had the ir worries over whether Lititz would follow through with its promise to use a borough pool. However, following the dedication, and beginning with the hot weather, the pool re a lly caught on in a big way. In fact in the twenty-one days since the dedication pooi tickets have sold a t the ra te of 20 a day! This figure is even more re markable when you consider th a t in th e five months preceding the dedication only 360 tickets to the new pool were sold and most of these were sold within a week of dedication. Every thing in the pool is now set up and in action, even the grass seems to have gotten into the spirit of things and is coming up to form a smooth green blanket around the facilities. I t looks like Ben Forrest, former Mayor, knew what he was doing when he cast his first and only vote as mayor to break a borough council tie and give Lititz it’s first borough swimming pool. forum On Chest Meets This Tuesday In Sutter Steigel Lions Plàn Installation Plans for the Installation program of the Baron Steigel Lions Club of Brickerville, were made a t the meeting held on Thursday evening a t the Clay Hotel. A rth u r Eshel-man of Paradise, International Councelor, will be the speaker. Gilbert Paul, the president, was in .charge of the meeting and Squire Ulrich gave a talk on “ Juvenile Delinquency’, this was followed by a discussion period. The next meeting will be held Ju n e 28tli, Mayor Arthur Griswold, right, signs the Gonununity Development Week proclamation as Henry Snavcly, Jaycee, looks on.J aycees Ask Citizens To Judge Community This week Mayor A rth u r S. Griswold proclaimed June community development month in Lititz — and ea rlier in the month Governor Lawrence proclaimed Ju n e sta te development month. In conjunction with both of these proclamation the Lititz Jaycees are conducting a survey to try to determine ju st what Lititz residents feel are the most important projects now existing in Lititz. The questionaire, which can be found on the second page of this weeks issue, gives a comprehensive ■ listing of the facilities available in Lititz and leaves space for citizens to mark adequate or inadequate beside them. The Jaycees are requesting On Tuesday night, in the General Sutter, -at 7 p.m. Lititz citizens will gather to discuss ways and means of supporting various civic services recently dropped from Community Chest support. The forum, lead by Rotary, will h e a r from Ken Shelly, secretary of the United Fund, H erb ert Kraybill, budget chairman for th e Lititz Fund, and from Raymond Pettyjohn, head of this years Lititz drive. The problem arose when this year the local Community Chest announced th a t ithey will be -cutting out support to -*th-e H tttz lib r a ry , the Lititz Springs P a rk and the I. Walton Bobst Recreation Center. Up to th is year these organizations have been supported primarily by the Community Chest. The Recreation Center last year received $5,000; the Library $300; and the Park $2000. As of this year th e P ark and -Library will be taken completely off the rolls and the Recreation Center will be cut by one-third th is year, and discontinued, th e th ird year. Thus 'the community, in addition to th e Community Chest, must, if these in stitutions a re to continue to ex-every- one in the borough fill out one of these sheets and mail it to P. O. Box 5, Lititz, Pa. I t is hoped th a t this survey will enable the civic clubs ' in the area to do a. b etter and more effective job. In proclaiming this months Community Development Month Mayor ; Griswold stated; “ (I) call on all citizens of Lititz to observe it by engaging in community improvement projects, to the end th a t the combined efforts of all will enhance the growth, stability and betterment of the Borough of L ititz.” The results of the survey will be published a t a la ter date.

The forum will be lead by John Hers-hey, moderator. All (Continued on Page 2) Park Groups Using Pool Questioned Pool committee officials met with the Park Trustees on Tuesday night to discuss what to do with extremely large pic nic groups using the park. The question came up be cause of a pooi policy to admit any person visiting the park to the pool a t general admission prices. This boomeranged the other weekend when the pool, already hosting heavy crowds, was invaded by an excessive amount of park visitors. And if allowed to stand, tin question could become even more crucial Jater in the summer when parties of up to 600 have reservations for the park. Curtis Amidon, council president and a member of the pool committee, stated th a t the problem th u s fa r has only developed on heavy weekends when large crowds use the park. He said everyone is pleasantly surprised by the tre mendous acceptance of th e pool. The only concern being for large groups using the pool in addition to th e presently large numbers.

Final Ticket Sold Friday They’re over the top! From now on borough re sidents can swim in a financially solvent swimming pool — the pool made its budget. The budget making ticket was sold to the Paul Cooper family on Friday evening —- and ticket receipts are now well over the planned $15,000 mark. The sudden spurt in sales, following the pool opening, followed five months of slump when borough officials, despite smiles, had the ir worries over whether Lititz would follow through with its promise to use a borough pool. However, following the dedication, and beginning with the hot weather, the pool re a lly caught on in a big way. In fact in the twenty-one days since the dedication pooi tickets have sold a t the ra te of 20 a day! This figure is even more re markable when you consider th a t in th e five months preceding the dedication only 360 tickets to the new pool were sold and most of these were sold within a week of dedication. Every thing in the pool is now set up and in action, even the grass seems to have gotten into the spirit of things and is coming up to form a smooth green blanket around the facilities. I t looks like Ben Forrest, former Mayor, knew what he was doing when he cast his first and only vote as mayor to break a borough council tie and give Lititz it’s first borough swimming pool. forum On Chest Meets This Tuesday In Sutter Steigel Lions Plàn Installation Plans for the Installation program of the Baron Steigel Lions Club of Brickerville, were made a t the meeting held on Thursday evening a t the Clay Hotel.

Griswold proclaimed June community development month in Lititz — and ea rlier in the month Governor Lawrence proclaimed Ju n e sta te development month. In conjunction with both of these proclamation the Lititz Jaycees are conducting a survey to try to determine ju st what Lititz residents feel are the most important projects now existing in Lititz. The questionaire, which can be found on the second page of this weeks issue, gives a comprehensive ■ listing of the facilities available in Lititz and leaves space for citizens to mark adequate or inadequate beside them. The Jaycees are requesting On Tuesday night, in the General Sutter, -at 7 p.m. Lititz citizens will gather to discuss ways and means of supporting various civic services recently dropped from Community Chest support. The forum, lead by Rotary, will h e a r from Ken Shelly, secretary of the United Fund, H erb ert Kraybill, budget chairman for th e Lititz Fund, and from Raymond Pettyjohn, head of this years Lititz drive. The problem arose when this year the local Community Chest announced th a t ithey will be -cutting out support to -*th-e H tttz lib r a ry , the Lititz Springs P a rk and the I. Walton Bobst Recreation Center. Up to th is year these organizations have been supported primarily by the Community Chest. The Recreation Center last year received $5,000; the Library $300; and the Park $2000. As of this year th e P ark and -Library will be taken completely off the rolls and the Recreation Center will be cut by one-third th is year, and discontinued, th e th ird year. Thus 'the community, in addition to th e Community Chest, must, if these in stitutions a re to continue to ex-every- one in the borough fill out one of these sheets and mail it to P. O. Box 5, Lititz, Pa. I t is hoped th a t this survey will enable the civic clubs ' in the area to do a. b etter and more effective job. In proclaiming this months Community Development Month Mayor ; Griswold stated; “ (I) call on all citizens of Lititz to observe it by engaging in community improvement projects, to the end th a t the combined efforts of all will enhance the growth, stability and betterment of the Borough of L ititz.” The results of the survey will be published a t a la ter date.

All (Continued on Page 2) Park Groups Using Pool Questioned Pool committee officials met with the Park Trustees on Tuesday night to discuss what to do with extremely large pic nic groups using the park. The question came up be cause of a pooi policy to admit any person visiting the park to the pool a t general admission prices. This boomeranged the other weekend when the pool, already hosting heavy crowds, was invaded by an excessive amount of park visitors. And if allowed to stand, tin question could become even more crucial Jater in the summer when parties of up to 600 have reservations for the park. Curtis Amidon, council president and a member of the pool committee, stated th a t the problem th u s fa r has only developed on heavy weekends when large crowds use the park. He said everyone is pleasantly surprised by the tre mendous acceptance of th e pool. The only concern being for large groups using the pool in addition to th e presently large numbers.
