Watson, general chairman. The drive will enable th e three organizations to continue operating until the end of 19- OS, and is combined to avoid having th ree separate drives. There is no help coming from tax money or th e Community Chest, Watson emphasized. This means th a t all needs of the th ree organizations must be met by contributions from local citizens, who a re asked to give generously. The 'Lititz, Recreation Center provides activities the year a r ound for all persons living in the Warwick Union School Distric t. While school tax funds pay salaries,' funds for operation find maintenance come only from sale of memberships and donations from the public. Formerly the Community Chest supplied funds for these purposes, but this help has been withdrawn. Membership 'sales a fe not sufficient to keep the Center going, and present funds for full operation will not extend beyond June, 1963. L ititz Springs Park has made Lititz famous. Maintenance funds come mainly from the Fourth of July Pageant of Candles, but this is no longer ade-uate to maintain th e park as it should be done. P a rk tru s tees asked to join the combined drive instead of having a sepa ra te one of the ir own.
