As Citizens Cite Grievances
PHOTOGRAPHY ON THE FARM
A “ citizens committee” plans
to attend the Warwick Town­ship
Supervisors meeting F ri­day
night.
The committee, formed afte r
various residents of the Town­ship
gathered one night to
discuss grievances — plans to
attend the meeting in full
force to bring to the supervis­ors
attention the problems
now facing the area.
The committee is upset a-bout
tile fact that the super­visors
seem to limit their mon­ey
and influence ju st to the
roads of the township---- and
the committee claims th a t they
do not even do a good job at
that!
They sta te th a t both the
Brubaker and the Pfautz dev­elopments
have been ignored
by the supervisors- -though
the sta te approval has now
been forthcoming in all cases.
They cite as the ir primary
argument one road in the
Brubaker development which
has been awaiting township
annexation for two years----
for the two years the fifteen
families residing on the road
have paid th e ir taxes and
the road has been approved
by the sta te ---- yet the super­visors,
despite pleas by the
home owners, have refused to
take over control of the road.
Stop, signs, or ra th e r the
lack of them, have also caused
the residents of th e township
to complain. The committee
claims th a t the township is
almost devoid of the signs
and th a t the situation, with
the roads becoming more
traveled, is approaching the
serious stage.
Street names and house
numbers have caused their
share of gripes-----and the com­mittee
claims th a t though, in
several cases, homes have ex­isted
along streets coming out
from the borough for more
than a dozen years the sup­ervisors
have taken no interest
in either naming the streets
or in assigning numbers to the
homes.
The dispersal of tax funds
by the supervisors also has
the group upset---- for they
claim th a t no a tten tio n is

Jaycees Book
Gladiators For
Teen Dances
Seems everyone is going to
be dancing this winter!
This week the Jaycees an­nounced
th a t they will be
holding a monthly dance for
teens---- with a “ live” orch­estra.
The Gladiators, who played
for the Memorial Day Dance
a t the pool will do th e honors
a t the dances.
The first dance will he held
Saturday night from 8:30 to
11:30 p.m. a t 'the Center.
Admission is SO cents per per­son
and dress is tie and flats.
Members of the Gladiators
are: Jack Ebbert, Dick Lan­dis,
Lonnie Ibach, Barry
Shelly and Terry Gehman.
The group,' which was for­med
ju st this February, has
already cu t its first record in
Harrisburg.
Members of th e Jaycee
committee in charge of the
dance include Je rry Husser,
chairman, Robert Shuler and
Robert Frey.
From th e views expressed a t
the first Recreation Study
Committee meeting on Wednes­day
night it looks as though
Lititz will not go toward tax-supported
recreation for a t
least another year.
The committee, which was
formed by borough council to
study recreation in the boro,
and its financial situation since
the withdrawal of Community
Chest aid, spent most of the
meeting discussing the possi­bility
of holding a door to
door drive in May of next year.
Representatives of both the
Library and the P a rk stated
th a t they felt, despite the
loss of aid from the local com­munity
chest for the coming
year, th a t th e ir organizations
could hold on ’til a t least
May for additional funds.
However, the Recreation
Center, which lost over $8,000
from its proposed budget, s ta t­ed
th a t, unless it can get fu­ture
budgeted funds from the
Community Chest in the near
future, it will have to have
additional funds before th a t
date.
From the meeting it is as­sumed
th a t the committee will
ask borough council to lead
community groups in forming
a Recreation Committee, with­out
legal powers as such, to
work toward a unified re­creation
program within the
borough, and to run a drive
once yearly in May for the
support of borough recreation.
No definite decision, how­ever,
will be made until at
le a st the next meeting in
August.
The study committee was
created by borough council,
with volunteer representatives
from interested groups in the
borough, afte r a Rotary meet­ing
showed up the need for de­finite
planning on the Recrea­tion
situation in the borough
The purpose of the com­mittee
will he to come to a
conclusion concerning recrea­tion,
and then to report these
views to council so th a t they
may appoint a permanent com
mittee to carry them out.
Thus the study committee,
as such, is merely a tempor
ary thing. I t will, however, be­fore
it desolves, decide, for the
present, at least, ju s t what
measures the borough should
take toward support of Re­creation.
Purely off tlio cuff totals
supplied by members of the
Library, Lititz Springs Park
and Recreation Center indicate
th a t these organizations will
need a to ta l of approximately
$11,000 in funds to carry
them through next year.
This would allow the Li­brary
$480 rent, a n d '$500 for
new purchases; would give
the park $3000 for mainten
ance and supply; and would
give the Recreation Center its

"When most o f : us think of
agriculture we natura lly think
of farming—and when we
think of ag. students we as­sociate
them with fu tu re
farmers.
However, C. Rod Heinricks,
320 New Street, has pulled a
switch on the old maxim.
For, although he was an
agriculture student in high
school and college, majoring
in animal husbandry—he is
now, by profession, a photo­grapher.
;
An agricultural photograph­er,
th a t Is.
"With the advancements in
agriculture and agricultural
machines, and processes .there
is a great demand for men
who know ag riculture — and
photography — — to supply
manufacturers and farm maga­zines
with up-to-date, pro­fessional
photographs of farm­ers
and farming methods.
One of the most successful
men in this field is Grant
Heilman who has his studio in
Lititz R3.
However, a year or so ago,
Grant began to feel th e lack
of professional agricultural
advice — so he hired Rod.
Originally Grant was to take
the pictures — Rod was to set
them up so th a t they could
be correct, and to find areas
in Grant’s files which were de­ficient.
But the photo hilg bit Rod
about Jan u ary — and since
then he has been challenging
Grant on volume if not oa
quality.
Rod explains his job by
saying th a t h e ’s supposed to
know what they should have
on th e ir files — and then to
arrange to get the shot.
The files consist of over 10,-
000 pictures of farm life and
equipment. . .
An example Rod quotes is
the “ problem of the potash
deficiency”.
Three weeks ago the shop
gojt a call from an agricultural
advertising firm in Philadel­phia
asking if they had a pic­tu
re of an ear of corn showing
potash deficiency.
They did not. Now it is
Rod’s job to either find a
plot of corn with th a t prob­lem,
or to creat the problem
with his own patch so th a t

Boro Council Kills
Vendors Ordinance
Linguistics and length fin­ally
drown the “ Peddlers”
ordinaiice in th e borough
council' meeting on Tuesday
night.. ‘
The ordinance had been the
subject, of contention for two
meetings and over three hours
before ; it finally went to a
quick death.
Several months ago th e
Chief Of Police, George Hicks
asked council to make a few
changes in the “ Peddlers” Or­dinance.
At th a t time th e or­dinance
contained about 300
words.
However by the time th a t
local lawyers had “ added”
the additions Council found
itself loaded with 1200 word
document!
And not only th a t b u t sud­denly
residents of the town,
who sell goods house tel Koüsè,
began to rebel aga inst being
called peddlers and against
having the ir fingerprints taken
by th e police before they could
get a permit.
So, afte r almost two hours
of discussion, the ordinance
was sent back with instruct­ions
to shorten it, to cut out
fingerprinting of local citizens
and to find another word for
peddler.
Again a t this meeting the
“Vendors” ordinance came be-

How Many Seeds In A Melon?
Most of us have a t some
time complained about the
number of seeds found in the
average watermelon------ but
few have actually taken the
trouble to count’ em!
The Recreation Center is
now in a position to state,
authoritively, th a t a good
watermelon should carry at
least 50 per two inch slice.
This decision is the result of
a “ te s t” run a t the Center
this Monday by a group of pufi-lic
spirited youngsters.
Equipment for th e exper­iment
was donated to the
cause by Stauffer's Market ,
Results were compiled from
the eight-nine , and 'ten and
over age group---- th e five,
six and sevens swallowed to
many to -allow for aulhorative
testing..
, They cabled that |test a
watermelon contest and over
150 youngsters donated their
time free of charge.
To inspire correct counting
■prizes were given to those
with the most seeds in each
age group.
Deena Mull, with 63 seeds
won first in the 8 and 9 age
group and Audrey Smith, with
57, won first in the 10 and
overs.
Dennis Craig sewed up the
five, six and seven competit­ors
with a big 19 seeds---- the
lack of seeds in this te st was
attrib u ted to th e kijds- -not
