last week architects were giv­en
the go ahead for comple­tion
of plans for construction

As a result the board will
proceed with plans to enlarge
the high school although the
vote was not unanimous. Ray­mond
Groff voted opposed to
the building program.
Plans call for enlargement
of the cafeteria, the gymnas­ium,
library, administrative
offices and construction of ten
additional rooms. The cost of
the survey, $872, was approvr
ed.
The survey concluded th a t
in the secondary school alone
the student population was es­timated
to be 1191 pupils in
1967 and 1293 by 1970. The
present enrollment is 1102.
On the recommendation of
Graybill, two contracts were
awarded: 1. To Kohl Bros.,

Door-to-Door Sales

A proposal to have school
children sell fru it cakes door-to-
door as a fund-raising
project for the P a ren t Teach­er

voted down a t the meet­ing
of the group last week.
It was reported th a t about
200 people attended the meet­ing,
and th a t less than a doz­en
were in favor of the child­ren
selling the cakes. While
the ma tte r was not fu rth e r
probed, there were indications
th a t most parents fe lt th a t the
children should not be called
upon to act as door-to-door
salesman in any instances.
There has been considerable
discussion of the subject, it
was said.
At the meeting, the secre­ta
ry read from the executive
board’s minutes a motion by
the board th a t the Ways and
Means Committes recommen­dations
th a t the children sell
fru it cakes and th a t the PTA

but the fru it cake sale
be disapproved. It was this
motion th a t carried.
Plans were made for Edu­cation
Week, to be observed

Officials Urge Care
The small game hunting sea­son
opens Saturday, October

grouse and pheasants, about
the same number of wild tu r ­keys,
rabbits and quail, but
fewer squirrels than last year,
according to the Pennsylvania
Game Commission. ' However,
in some areas of the sta te
there are increases or de­creases
in the amount of
game.
In Lancaster County rabbits
are up 5 to 10 per cent, phea­sants
up 5 to 15 per cent;
quail up 5 to 30 per cent;
squirrels down 5 to 10 per
cent. Grouse and turkeys are

will hold its class play on No­vember
16 and 17 a t 8 p.m.

The play is a comedy, “ Jan ­uary
Thaw,” by William Roos,
and revolves around the pre­dicament

up-to-date and the other
old-fashioned, who find them­selves
occupying th e same
house.
Scott Garman, of the facul­ty
is directing the play, and

ruffed grouse with a daily bag
limit of two and a combined
season limit of en. The sea­sons
are Oct. 27 to Dec. 1, and
Dec. 26 to Jan. 1, 1963.
There is no closed hunting
season in Pennsylvania this
year for raccoons, skunks, op-possums,
woodchucks a n d
grackles, and no daily or sea­sonal
bag limits.
Game protectors reminded
all persons hunting for small
game th a t they must have re ­peating
shotguns plugged to a
three-shell capacity. All auto­loading
or semi-automatic
rifles are prohibited in taking
any wild bird or wild animal
in Pennsylvania, and the use
of dogs in hunting wild tu r-'
keys is not permitted.
It was announced th a t near­ly
450,000 acres of tree farms
and other forest lands owned
by the wood-dependent indust­ries
of Pennsylvania will be
open to free public hunting
this year. These areas are
mainly\in the lesser populated
counties of the state. There
are none available in Lancas­te
r County.
Authorities urge care in pre­venting
hunting accidents,
pointing out th a t for every
2000 Pennsylvania hunters who
take to the woods a t least
one will sustain a painful or
possibly near-fatal wound from
a shotgun rifle, or other
sporting weapon. In 1961, 2-t
hunters in this sta te died from
these wounds.
Carelessness is the main
cause of these accidents, it was

Recreation
Is Discussed
By Leaders
The Commission form of
administering recreational fac­ilities
of a given community
were outlined by Albert E.
Reese, Jr., director of Recrea­tion
of the City of Lancaster,
at a meeting last week ot the
Lions Club to which all groups
of the community had been
invited.
Reese explained th a t a five-man
commission is appointed
by a borougth or city, or other
municipality, to administer
the recreational facilities. It is
controlled and financed by the
municipality, and also receives
State aid and financial help
from the community. Reese
told of the laws which regu­late
recreational commissions,
and also explained the reim­bursement
policy from the
state for qualified leaders.
Here in Lititz, the Rec. Cen­te
r is administered by a board
of directors, and financed by
the (Community Chest, civic
organizations, reimbursement
from the sta te for qualified
leaders, a n d , contributions
.from individuals, as well as
paid membership fees. In view
of the fact th a t next year the
local Center will no longer be
connected with th e Commun­ity
Chest, a Study group has
been set up to investigate the
possibilities of financing the
center.
Among those attending the
meeting was Dr. Rodney Wel­ch,
chairman of the Study
group committee, who later
said th a t the talk was well
received by the study group
which expects to meet within
the next two weeks to make
recommendations.
Reese was introduced by
Lee F. Raffensperger, director
of the local Recreation Cen­te
r.
Members of the Rotary club
attended the dinner, and a
total of 100 persons were pre­sent
a t the meeting which
followed. Forbes Emsweller is
president of the Lions club,
sponsor of the meeting.

Express Wednesday a fte r­noon
th a t a counterfeit check

check of high quality printing,
is printed in black ink on blue
Hammer Mill safety paper.
The check number appears in
heavy blue le tte rs and is drawn

Forewarning
Against Car
Defacement
'Defacement of automobiles
and private property on Hal­lowe’en
or “mischief n ight” is
varrdalism pure and simple,
says Samuel T. Miliiken, serv­ice
manager of Keystone Auto­mobile
Club.
“The high cost of buying
and maintaining a car nowa­days
rqakes it imperative th a t
children be ta u g h t th a t acts
of vandalism are not ‘fun’ in
any sense of the word” , he de­clared.
“ I t’s up to p a ren ts and
police to see th a t the private
property of others is not made
a. ta rg e t for such hooliganism.
And punitive action shoud be
taken when such practices re ­sult
in damage.
“Motorists too long have
been victims of destructive acts
by children who think th a t
such pranks are harmless.
Painting and marking cat’s
with chalk and soap is an od­ious
practice. The finish on
many expensive cars has been
ruined. Broken bottles on the
street have gashed tires. Bro­ken
door handles and stolen
gas tank caps have caused
motorists expense.
“Parents and teachers
should help to prevent such
acts of vandalism this Hallo­we'en.
We suggest, also, th a t
motorists who have such facil­ities
available, put th e ir cars
in garages on ‘mischief n ig h t’
and Hallowe’en in order to
cut down the opportunities for
destructive behavior.
