Seen For
Primaries
Two contests loom in the
primary elections of Lititz
a rea candidates when voters
go to the polls next Tuesday,

Otherwise, the primaries are
pretty much of a forgone con­clusion,
as there not only are
no .other contests within the
Republic party, but Democrats
are practically non-existant in
this area.
Republican leaders predicted
th a t the voting will be light,
but urged none-the-less th a t
voters come out in full force
a support the organization
candidates.
There are th re e candidates
seeking nomination for two po­sitions
for school direclo.'-at-large
on the Warwick Union
School board. Two a re backed
by the Republican party, and
the oth e r is seeking réélection
on his own.
Richard S. Allebach, pres i­den
t incumbent on the school
board, is seeking nomination
and re-election to the board,
without benefit of party sup­port.
Presently he Is vice pres i­dent
of the board, l ie resides

Dr. Byron K. Home
Dr. Byron K. Horne, h e ad­mas
ter of Linden Hall School
for Girls, will be principal spea­ker
a t the annua l sprintg din­n
e r meeting of the Lititz Wom­an's
Club Monday a t 6:15 p.im.
in th e General Sutiter Hotel.
He will »peak on “ Lititz—
a Study in Early American So-lege
and Moravian Theological
ciology.”
A g rad u a te of Moravian Col-
Seminary, Dr. Horne began his
career in the field of education
by teaching a t Perkiomen
School for Boys, la te r a t th e
Moravian Pre p a r a to ry school
and a t Moravian college. As a
minis ter of the Moravian
Church he has served pas tor­ates
in Indianapolis, Lititz and
Bethlehem. While serving in
th e Lititz congregation he be­came
interested in the history
and background of the com­munity
and has since become
an auth o r ity on the subject.
At present he is serving on the
Board Of Historical Review,
which passes on construction
or a lte ra tions to buildings in
th e portion of Lititz zoned
“ his torical.” Dr. Horne has
been h e adma s te r of Linden
Hall since 1947. He will be
introduced by Mrs. William
Whitten, J r .
iNewly elected officers of the
club will be installed by Mrs.
Donald Palmquis t, president of

Howard Lebo.
The sum of $5000 realized
from the sale of borough-owned
proper ty to Wagaman
Brother s P r in t in g firm will be
utilized to provide recreation
for the citizens of the borough,
it was announced a t an ad­journed
meeting of borough
Council Tuesday night.
Council received and accept­ed
Wagaman's bid of $5,000,
the only bid submitted. The
land in question is a. 28 by
312 foot strip formerly part
of the Lions playground. An
ordinance was passed approv­ing
the sale.
A reques t of Sutter Village
to construct a wall a t General
Su tte r Avenue and Woodcrest
Avenue ma rking th e entrance
to the development was turned
down, on th e recommendation
of Councilmen C. Wendell
Hower and M. C. Demrny, who
investigated the situation. They
felt it would constitute a t r a f ­fic
hazard and create a division
within the borough. The possi­bility
of a smaller sign to
dire c t people into the subdivi­sion
was left open, and the
owners also asked for direct­ional
signs from Second and
Broad Streets to direct people
to the area. These suggestions
were re fe rred for la te r action.
Storm drainage problems in
Sutte r Village were explained
by R. Keith Arms trong, who
said a new problem has been
discovered on the proper ty of
William M. Whitten, Jr., Wood-cres
t Avenue. He expressed the
view th a t there is a plan which
would tie in with the original
plan. The alte rna tive would be

drainage pipe, but this would
not contribute to fu tu re needs
he said. Costs will be computed
and a decision will be made
May 2 8. It is expected th a t the
problems will be solved by
summer.
A reques t was received from
the Moravian Church for the
borough to withdraw several
street lights a t Church square,
as had been agreed upon, ;a
order th a t they might install
their copies of Colonial lan ­terns.
Arms trong reported on the
progress of the swimming pool,
which is to open May 30. He
said it had been repor ted pre­viously
th a t one toilet was
broken and the other s leaking
underneath, hut closer inspec­tion
showed them all to be
broken because of th e freez­ing.-
Council approved th e i r r e ­placement
a t a total cost of
$150.
Arms trong said there is a
possibility of having open
house prior to th e formal
opening of the pool, for citi­zens
to view the pool and to
buy tickets. Arms trong and the
pool manager, Steve Palkovic,
will work with the Recreation
Center to determine how much
they are going to use the pool
this summer for the ir classes
and othe r activities. Council
authorized the purchase of
snow cone ap p a ra tu s to make
snow cones a t the pool.
