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 (Continued on page 5) Ree Committee Now Leans T oward Drive Taxation Ignored 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 (Continued on page 5) Rod Heinricks, local agricultural photographer, takes his camera in close to photograph insect damage on a cluster of peaches.

Director L m •• ALL SET TO SCUBA! ft ■ I T "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 (Continued on page 5) John Apple, center, instructs members of th e Woodridge pool in (lie fine a r t of Scuba.

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.

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.
