Over 1,500 letters a month prove that the world-famous United States Marine Band still holds a very special place in the hearts of young Americans. The letters received by the Band office may vary in style from typewritten requests for information from college students to simple, scrawled notes for “some pitchers of the Marine Band", but they all denote interest in hte country’s oldest military symphonic organization. The Marine Band will appear in Lititz at a special matinee concert for students of all ages Tuesday, September 17;- at the Warwick High School auditorium. The evening concert — for the “young in heart” is set for 8:00 p.m. The net proceeds from both concerts will be used toward the Building Fund of the Lititz Com-; munity Center.

Dunkle, former Warwick High School music teacher, who is now teaching in '« school in Kyoto, Japan. He writes that the articles about his Lititz- friends and former students are “most enjoyable”, and that it is the best way he knows of to keep up with current events in Lititz. Japan, ne says, publishes at least four English-speaking 'newspapers, so it is not too difficult to keep up with world events. ’“Needless to say, one gets a considerably different viewpoint of American affairs from this side of the world, and it does an American a world of good to see him as others sometimes see him,” Dunkle says. Friday night to direct a small “But the Japanese people and newspapers are usually friendly and sympathetic to American viewpoints and our lives and economies are very closely intertwined. I was surprised to discover that the circulation of .my newspaper is over 41,000. It wduid be interesting to know how many of those copies are read by Japanese people. The English-speaking newspaper is particularly important to me when one realizes that the only radio available is FEN, the American Armed Forces Far East Network. It -originates from Tokyo, and I sometimes have difficulty getting clear reception in Kyoto, a six-hour ride by express train. Try as I may, I still can understand little or nothing of Japanese news and weather commentators.” Mir. Dunkle tells about a church supper —: the Japanese Version of a “covered dish social” — which was held at the Yamato Kyokai (Church) in Gakuencho, Nara, Japan, about a 35-minute train ride from Kyoto, where he goes every learn the history of their country, for the Marine Band has played in the White House for every President since John Adams. Since music is now accepted part of the school curriculum, the Marine Band no longer has to be concerned about developing students into potential recruits i |,miiiiilii III Tl'li files of Lt. Col. Albert Schoepper, Director of the Band, are filled with applications from high school students, college graduates and members of other professional music organizations. With so many applicants and only about three vacancies a year, the Marine Band now does its part in maintaining interest in music by helping young people learn music appreciation via the specially planned student matinees. Always colorful and entertaining, they just naturally evoke students’ enthusiasm and love for the best in music. Much of the Band’s appeal to the youth of today can be credited to Colonel Schoepper, for he devotes much time and thought to these programs (Continued on Page 3) community chorus sponsored by the church. Last year this chorus was directed by James Camp, an American missionary who is a friend of Gordon Burkey of Lititz. The supper was in the nature of a “farewell party” for the Camp family when they recently returned to the United States for a furlough. The idea for the covered dish social was brought back by the minister, Rev. Ichiro Saito, after he visited America. Dunkle says that once a month the congregation gets together for a similar social. He feels this church is rather unique in Japan, being siuated in the center of a completely new community whei^e many new homes and apartments are still being built. “One of the founders of the church who • visited America found that the church is often the center of activities for many small American towns, so he returned with the idea of having this church serve the same function in Gakuencho,” Dunkle says. “Needless to say, with on- (Continued on page 3) Lititz Springs Pool Organizes Social Club A group of members of the Lititz Springs pool met at the pool last Wednesday, (August 21) to organize a permanent club to carry on various activities, social as well as aquatic. Officers were nominated, and other nominations are being asked for at the next meeting, scheduled for September 12. Anyone also may nominate officers by calling the pool office, it was announced. Those nominated last week are as follows: for president, Don McGarvey; for vice president, Curtis Long; for secretary, Mrs. Marie Kalenich; for treasurer, Ralph Pfautz. The purpose of the organic zation is to promote social activities of the pool members on a year-round basis; to improve and maintain the recreational facilities at the pool site, and to plan and promote related activities at the pool.

A newsletter will be gent out to members monthly. The meeting September 12 will be held at 7 p.m. at the pool. All season ticket holders are asked to attend, and bring their suits, weather permitting. In the event of rain the meeting will be held indoors, the place 1o be named later. Boro Council Vetoes Pedestrian Lights At Broad & Main Streets Borough Counicl at its meeting Tuesday night decided that pedestrian lights were not ne-cesssary at the intersection of Broad and Main Streets. Many complaints from citizens had been made that pedestrians had difficulty crossing the intersection. Police Chief George Hicks contacted Wednesday stated that, “as the lights now exist they do not provide adequate protection for the pedestrian.” Council had previously decided against pedestrian lights as being too costly. Although, this original estimate was for a full stop of all traffic so pedestrians could cross in any direction. Later estimates as to the cost of a limited pedestrian stop, as exists at most intersections, have been substantially lower. In other business Council strayed from its present policy and approved a request from Carl Wolf, 427 North Alley, to provide his property and two others with water. The three properties are not connected to the sewer system while Wolf, his wife and six Permits Total $38,170.

Local Boy Held In Auto Thefts A fourteen-year-old Lititz youth, who was awaiting a hearing before juvenile authorities on charges of stealing four cars prior to June 13, was arrested in Manheim last Thursday night and implicated in six other auto thefts since then. Chief of Police George Hicks, who withheld the name of the youth, said the boy and a seventeen- year-old companion were arrested driving a car stolen from a Lititz garage earlier this week. / Recent Thefts An investigation today of six auto thefts in recent weeks in the Lititz area implicated the pair, Hicks said. The car in which the two youths were caught Thursday was stolen from William B. Fry, Lititz garage operator. Hicks said other autos the pair is accused of stealing during the last month and a half were owned by: Herbert Long, 9 Lemon St., Lititz, an auto stolen by both June 30 and abandoned after a “jqy ride” on a Lititz Street.

Orange St., Lititz, stolen by both Aug. 7 and used in a burglary at Penryn. And the seventh auto stolen last week, also was owned by (Continued on Page 4) Moment Of Silent Prayer And Pledge Of Allegiance Expected As Opening School Exercises It was indicated Wednesday by a member of the School Board that opening exercises at Warwick Schools would consist of a moment of silent prayer followed by the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag. The expected policy was announced following the State Attorney General’s ruling concerning reading of the Bible and the Lord’s Prayer. Several other school districts in Lancaster County hatre already indicated they would follow a similar policy. A school hoard member stated that a meeting of the Warwick Board would probably be held and he expected this would be the policy adopted. G. Marlin Spaid, Supervising Principal, had recommended a similar policy at the last school board meeting if the state ruled as was expected. Board members decided at the time to await the state ruling. As several board members and school officials stated, you may not like the ruling, but it is the “law of the land” as declared by the Supreme Court and the law must be followed. SchoolOpens Wednesday All schools in the Warwick Union District will open for a full day next Wednesday, supervising principal G. Marlin Spaid said this week. Cafeterias will offer meals to students on the first day, with lunches at 35 cents and milk at four cents. Pupils will be expected to pay for meals on a day to day basis, Spaid said. The doors of the elementary schools will open at 8:40 a.m., and classes will start at 8:50 a.m. At the high school, doors will open at 8 a.m. and classes start at 8:15 a.m. Assignments High School students will report as follows: Grade 12, auditorium, center section; Grade 11, auditorium, left section; Grade 10, auditorium, right section; Grade 9, cafeteria; Grade 8, gymnasium, right side; Grade 7, gymnasium, left side.

At the John Beck and Roths-ville elementary schools lists of pupils will be posted by the classroom door. These buildings are small enough that the children will be able to find their rooms easily. Some children in the upper grade will help the younger pupils find their ropms. All parents of first grade children in all schools are requested to pin to the child a card with the child’s full name on it. Parents with Kindergarten children will receive a letter telling them when to bring their children and meet the teacher, Spaid said. School Bus Routes Set Except for the following changes and changes of which parents will be notified, the school bus routes and t ime schedules will remain essentially the same as last year according to Walter H. Texter, Jr., elementary school principal. New students are asked to report to the stop nearest their homes. The K-6 Bus (Kissel Hill- Brubaker development) will stop on New Haven Drive near the corner of Mayfield a n d New Haven Drives. This stop will be in addition to the usual stops at Brubaker and New Haven Drives, and Wood and New Haven Drives.

Wolf asked the borough to pay for the water line, although the policy is for the property owner to pay for the line in alleys, and the borough manager was authorized to install a water main for the three properties involved thus providing sewer connections at the same time and eliminating the outhouses now in use. Two contracts were awarded: John K. Denlinger, Smoke-town, resurfacing of N. Locust and S. Walnut Streets, $4,780; and Roger E. Gerhart Inc., Lititz, $5,239.20, storm drainage facilities on Woodcrest Avenue. Another apparent low bidder was J. Richard Nissley Inc., Lundisville, $37,605, construction of a bridge and roadway on Oak Street. Council discussed the possibility of keeping the pool open on weekends while good weather prevails as occurred last year, but agreed to close it on Labor Day. It was noted that Valentine Eitnier has been making some progress on repairs to his property, as previously ordered by council, so the deadline will be overlooked. Instead the bor-' ough manager will make a constant check of the property. - A resolution was passed to accept the Blue Bird and Robin Roads in the Warwick Acres development. Also passed was a resolution to apply for county aid to be used for street construction. This would amount to about $4,000. An agreement was signed with the Lititz Springs Park and the Moravian congregation to accept responsibility for maintenance of the roadway through the park for the next ten years. Council approved a request from the Lititz Retailers Assn, to close W. Main Street on Sept. 5, 6 and 7 for a display of camp trailers. In other business council heard a report from a local resident, George Kamm, who stated that wafer in the Lititz Creek is milky and there is a lot more paper pulp on t h e rocks in the vicinity of the Morgan Paper Co. Kamm claims this condition is extremely bad and much worse than in previous years. A report from the Huth Engineering Co. revealed the cost of a stream survey has been estimated at $1,500. This information is to be turned over to the Health and Sanitary Advisory Committee which requested a cost estimate of the project. Council also approved a request from the Farmers National Bank to eliminate a parking place directly in front of John Keller’s store and to move a tree there about four feet to the east. The changes were requested to provide easier access to the bank’s drive-in window. Traffic Violations Up For Month Of August Parking meter violations during the month ending August 17 were climbing as 92 persons were prosecuted as compared to 70 during the same period last year. According to the report there were 6 traffic violations; three auto thefts two burglary and larceny; one disorderly conduct; two driving when intoxicated; two for excessive noise; one failure to stop at accident; one failure to yield right of way; and seven for larceny under $50. George L. Keehn Breaks Hip When Ladder Collapses George L. Keehn, 30 East Market St., after looking for a leak in his garage roof on Monday evening stepped on a six foot step ladder which collapsed. Mr. Keehn fell to the ground and was taken to the Lancaster General Hospital at 8 p.m. in the ambulance. He was found to have a broken hip and underwent an operation on Tuesday afternoon.
