This time it’s a Mallard duck, which keeps coming back to the old homestead, even though a new home has been found for her. When workmen dug out a hedge fence while making the new parking lo‘ for the F arm ers National Bank on Monday, they discovered a d u ck ’s nest in the hedge, with a duck sitting on the eggs. Workmen moved the nest to Lititz Springs Park, the du'cik kept retu rn in g to the site of the hedge.

Meter Arrests On The Decline Lititz residents a re more careful about overstaying their time in metered park in g spaces than they were a year ago, it was indicated by the fact that there were only 47 meter violations during the month ending June 22, compared with 120 for th e same period last year. According to the report of Mayor A rthur S. 'Griswold, M. D., which comprises the police report, the re were 13 parking violations, four auto thefts, three arre sts fo r disorderly conduct, two fo r reckless d riving, and one each fo r la rceny under $5 and excessive noise. Six accidents, Including one fatality, were investigated. Five juveniles were referred to au th orities, and twb police officers spent fo u r days in court. The cruiser travelled 2,378 fo r p a tro l and investigation. Chief Hicks Urges Precaution To Prevent Vacation Burglaries 17 Million Gallons Water Used In June The water depa rtment pumped a total of 17,155,900 g a llons off water during June, a daily average of 612,710 gallons, according to the report of borough manager R. Keith Armstrong. The maximum day was May 25, when 774,400 gallons were pumped, and the minimum day June 9, with 474, 200 gallons. The sewer p la n t reported a total flow of 16,744,400 gallons, a daily average off 598, 014. This is the time of the year when burglars and f o w l e r s have easy “pickin,” said George Hicks, Lititz Police Chief, today. Most citizens will soon be going off on week-ends or vacations and virtually abandoning th e ir homes to burglars. Ju n e 30 through July 6 has been declared by the Lititz Police Dept, as Burglary Preven-tion Week, a period during which Chief Hicks hopes to make all homeowners more aware of t'he precautions they may take to fru stra te the a ttempts of would-be burglars this summer. “The unconcerned and careless a ttitu d e of many was la rgely responsible for the b u rglaries committed in our town last year. Although most people didn’t intentionally invite in tru d e rs to ransack th e ir home, they might ju s t as well have hung up a sign saying, no one’s home, burglars welcome!” Chief Hicks said. A stroll around your neighborhood any day will tell you at a glance who's away: the ir porches will be Cluttered with circulars; an accumulation of milk bottles on the stoop; an unkempt lawn; an empty garage with the door open; or a bulging mailbox; tip-offs th a t’ll broadcast “n6 one’s home” to anyone canvassing. the neighborhood. In the evening, most empty homes can be spotted too; ju st look for th e dark houses. I t ’s a known fact, lig h t is one of the best deterrents to crime, yet most homeowners go out for an evening and leave their homes completely dark. Or, they’ll go off for a weekend or vateation and leave the same light burning day and night. No light a t all, or the same light burning continuously is a good giveaway “no one is home.” A simple, hut effective means of having light in your home every evening, is by connecting an automatic timing device to one or two lamps. Such a timer will tu rn a lamp “ on” early in the evening, then tu rn it “off” several hours later. With lights turning on and off during the evening hours i t ’ll give th e appearance someone is home and may avert a possible b urglary attempt! L ist Precautions Chief Hicks went on to say th a t homes and apa rtments account for more than four of every ten burglaries. By observing a few simple precautionary steps, you can red fee the possibility of a huvigla)c selecting your dwelling as his ta rg e t next time you’re away: Connect a lamp to an automatic timer to tu rn lights in the home on and off each evening. 'Close and lock all doors, including porch, gasement and garage. Use pin-tumbler cylinder locks on outside en tran ces and safety latches on the windows. Be sure all screens are fastened from the inside, around; keep them in a safety 'Never leave valuables lying deposit box. And, if you’re leaving for a week-end or longer, Chief Hicks also suggest: ■Notify your police d ep a rtment when you’ll be leaving and how long you expect to be away. 'Cancel all deliveries, such as ■milk, laundry, cleaning, etc. , (Continued on Page 2) Ask Parents To Assist At Playgrounds P aren ts whose children will b e participating in the Rec. Cen te r’s 19&3 Summer playground program are urged to assist the individual playground le ade r during the six week program. P a ren ts who possess skills in a rts and crafts, story te lling, singing, music, dramatics, sports, dancing, etc., should let it be known to the playground supervisor so the le a d e r ¡can Incorporate this in his overall planning.

This time it’s a Mallard duck, which keeps coming back to the old homestead, even though a new home has been found for her. When workmen dug out a hedge fence while making the new parking lo‘ for the F arm ers National Bank on Monday, they discovered a d u ck ’s nest in the hedge, with a duck sitting on the eggs. Workmen moved the nest to Lititz Springs Park, the du'cik kept retu rn in g to the site of the hedge.

Chief Hicks Urges Precaution To Prevent Vacation Burglaries 17 Million Gallons Water Used In June The water depa rtment pumped a total of 17,155,900 g a llons off water during June, a daily average of 612,710 gallons, according to the report of borough manager R. Keith Armstrong. The maximum day was May 25, when 774,400 gallons were pumped, and the minimum day June 9, with 474, 200 gallons. The sewer p la n t reported a total flow of 16,744,400 gallons, a daily average off 598, 014. This is the time of the year when burglars and f o w l e r s have easy “pickin,” said George Hicks, Lititz Police Chief, today. Most citizens will soon be going off on week-ends or vacations and virtually abandoning th e ir homes to burglars. Ju n e 30 through July 6 has been declared by the Lititz Police Dept, as Burglary Preven-tion Week, a period during which Chief Hicks hopes to make all homeowners more aware of t'he precautions they may take to fru stra te the a ttempts of would-be burglars this summer. “The unconcerned and careless a ttitu d e of many was la rgely responsible for the b u rglaries committed in our town last year. Although most people didn’t intentionally invite in tru d e rs to ransack th e ir home, they might ju s t as well have hung up a sign saying, no one’s home, burglars welcome!” Chief Hicks said. A stroll around your neighborhood any day will tell you at a glance who's away: the ir porches will be Cluttered with circulars; an accumulation of milk bottles on the stoop; an unkempt lawn; an empty garage with the door open; or a bulging mailbox; tip-offs th a t’ll broadcast “n6 one’s home” to anyone canvassing. the neighborhood. In the evening, most empty homes can be spotted too; ju st look for th e dark houses. I t ’s a known fact, lig h t is one of the best deterrents to crime, yet most homeowners go out for an evening and leave their homes completely dark. Or, they’ll go off for a weekend or vateation and leave the same light burning day and night. No light a t all, or the same light burning continuously is a good giveaway “no one is home.” A simple, hut effective means of having light in your home every evening, is by connecting an automatic timing device to one or two lamps. Such a timer will tu rn a lamp “ on” early in the evening, then tu rn it “off” several hours later. With lights turning on and off during the evening hours i t ’ll give th e appearance someone is home and may avert a possible b urglary attempt! L ist Precautions Chief Hicks went on to say th a t homes and apa rtments account for more than four of every ten burglaries. By observing a few simple precautionary steps, you can red fee the possibility of a huvigla)c selecting your dwelling as his ta rg e t next time you’re away: Connect a lamp to an automatic timer to tu rn lights in the home on and off each evening. 'Close and lock all doors, including porch, gasement and garage. Use pin-tumbler cylinder locks on outside en tran ces and safety latches on the windows. Be sure all screens are fastened from the inside, around; keep them in a safety 'Never leave valuables lying deposit box. And, if you’re leaving for a week-end or longer, Chief Hicks also suggest: ■Notify your police d ep a rtment when you’ll be leaving and how long you expect to be away. 'Cancel all deliveries, such as ■milk, laundry, cleaning, etc. , (Continued on Page 2) Ask Parents To Assist At Playgrounds P aren ts whose children will b e participating in the Rec.
