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.

On Tuesday night, in the

Lititz citizens will gather to

The problem arose when
this year the local Community

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

primarily by the Com­munity

Center last year received
$5,000; the Library $300; and
the Park $2000.
As of this year th e P ark

completely off the rolls and
the Recreation Center will be
cut by one-third th is year,
and discontinued, th e th ird

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.
