f The Lititz Record - Express Serving The Warwick Union Area For Nearly A Century 86th Year Established April, 1877, as The Sunbeam (Consolidated with The Eltltz Record, 1937) Lititz, Lancaster Co., Pa., Thursday, November 7, 1963 7 cents a Copy; $3.00 per year by maU within Lancaster County; $3.50 elsewhere. 12 Pages No. 30 New Utility Rates Save 3.6 To 20.5% CANINE HERO: This little dog, Tony, in th e arms of his master, Elmer (Tommy). Adams, saved his ma ste r’s life by barking when fire broke out in Adams’ home a t 105 N. Broad St., early Saturday morning. The pair are shown in front of th e fire-blackened house. Also routed by the fire were four members of the Ellsworth Shreiner family, who occupied half of the double house. The American Legion building next door also was badly damaged by fire. Dog’s Barking Rescues Lititz Man From Blaze The barking of a tiny dog, p a rt Chihuahua and part toy terrie r, is credited with saving the life of a Lititz resident from a fire which ruined his home early Saturday morning, and partially destroyed the American Legion building next door. Elmer (Tommy) Adams, who lived in a double house a t 105 N. Broad St., was awakened about 3 a.m. Saturday by the barking of his dog, Tony, to find his home in flames. Meanwhile, Mrs. Ellsworth Shreiner, whose family occupied th e other half of the house, was aroused by the flames and smoke, and turned in an alarm at 3:20 a.m. She awakened her husband and two children, and they fled the house. Tony, the little canine hero, will be four years old on November 19, Adams is a well-known Lititz barber, and had a shop a t the 123-year-old house for more th an a half century. Right afte r the fire he stayed with neighbors, but this week went to stay with his son Arthur, a t Lexington. Fire Chief Ammon Shelley, who estimated the damage at well over $10,000, “ perhaps several thousand more,” is conducting an investigation. The site of the fire was inspected Monday by County Fire Marshal Paul Z. Knier, and on Tuesday by Cpl. Robert Plummer, of the Pennsylvania State Police. The cause of the fire is undetermined. It began on the Shreiner side of the double home, spread to Adams’ half, and also to the rear por- Community Calendar Nov. 7— 7:30 P.M. — Fire Co. Auxiliary meeting at the Fire Hall.

The main portion of the blaze was under control within 45 minutes, but firemen continued to pour water on the ra fte rs of the Legion Home for about three more hours. One fireman, Elton Reed, of Lititz, was in ju red when h it on the forehead by a coupling when a hose burst. Three others were trea ted for smoke inhalation: Jack Christ,' Donald Walter and Bill Powers. All have made satisfactory re coveries. Forty-five firemen were en-i gaged in - fighting the fire* the la rge st in th e borough for several years. Meanwhile, in Rothsville Fire Chief Claude R. Young was still investigating two fires, one which burned five acres of woodland, in which arson has been suspected. Lititz residents and businesses will be granted reductions in the water and sewer rate s of from 3.6 per cent up to 20.5 per cent when the new rates go into effect March 1, 1964. Borough council approved the new rates a t its last meeting. They are now based on cubic footage ra th e r than on gallons, as formerly, it was explained by R. Keith Armstrong, borough manager. The smallest consumers would receive the smallest re duction, or 3.6 per cent for users of 1,500 cubic feet. The benefits increase as the use grows, so th a t users of 40,- 107 cubic feet would have a reduction of 20.5 per cent. This is a peak a fte r which the. ra te of reduction drops gradually to 7.6 per cent, then gains again until the largest consumer, (Lambert Hudnut, which uses two million cubic feet) gets a reduction of 19.5 per cent. The minimum w ater bill would be $4.50 a quarter, or less than a cent a gallon, and the minimum sewer bill would be $11.25 for six months payable $5.50 the firs t q u arter, and $5.75 the second q u arter, then $5.50 again and so on alternatingly. The proposed revised rates are as follows: water, 1000 to 2,500 cubic feet, $6; sewer, $7.50; 2,500 to 7,500 cu. feet, $5.25 and $6.75; 7,500 to 15,000 cu. feet, $4.50 and $6; 15,000 to 25,000 cu. feet, $3.75 to $5.25; 25,000 to 50,- 000 cu. feet, $3 and $4.50; 50.000 to 100,000 cu. feet, $2.25 and $3.75; 100,000 to 200.000 Cu. feet, $1.50 and $3; over 200,000 cu. feet, seventy- five cents and $2.25. The majority of the residential units are in the, first two groups, and the remainder is business and industry, Boro Manager Armstrong said. The new schedule reduces th e basic income of the borough by about $8,000. The ra te stru c tu re has been studied for well over a year, Armstrong said, explaining th a t the original thinking was for greater reduction, but in order to make the structure more fiscally sound a lesseir reduction was made. Since there is no profit involved an attempt is being made to keep the ra te stru c tu re consistent with providing a good service at the least possible cost, Armstrong said. The new rates will not a ffect the December 1 bills, but will go into effect March 1, 1964. Brubaker Defeats Ibach For Twp. Supervisor Hungarian Travelogue Next In Rotary Series Boro Plans Ice Removal The borough is now preparing for the winter ahead and stocking supplies of sa lt and calcium chloride fo r snow a n d ice removal. This economical and efficient de-icer, combined according to the ice condition, today is the accepted method of combatting winter hazards, Borough Manager R. Keith Armstrong points out. More than 4 6,000 pounds were used la st winter alone to protect pedestrians and passengers. Depite th is large amount, proper snow and ice control measures cost only about 10 to 15 cents per capita per winter. This is due to the fact th'at Chemicals are not only th e most efficient, but most economical method of control as proven by scientific tests, Armstrong said. Modern methods call for 100 per cent use of chemicals v/Mch pene trate the ice, bore down to the road with a corkscrew action, and th en undercut t h e frozen mas» w ith brine which tnelts th e bond between ice and pavement, th e borough manager explained. The borough i» preparing -for-winter by stock-piling 3 6, 000 pounds of safety sa lts and calcium chloride. Snow plows and other equipment are now ready. A new spreader has (been purchased and the public can expect a minimum of delays and hazards, Armstrong stated. Gene Wiancko, Pasadena, Calif., radio narrato r, producer, writer and explorer, will present his travelogue film, “The People of Hungary,” in the Warwick High School auditorium on Saturday, Nov. 9, at 8 p.m., on the “Travel and Adventure Series” sponsored by the Lititz Rotary Club. Wiancko is a graduate of Gene Wiancko the University of California, and has been a member of the Society of Exploring Geophysicists for Over 16 years. He was professionally engaged as an exploration geophysicist for 12 years; and was in charge of the expedition th a t discovered the world’s northernmost gas field a t)P o in t Barrow, Alaska. He has produced films of such areas as Yugoslavia, Romania, Mexico, Munich, Venice, Davos and Carcassonne. “The People of Hungary” is a full-color travel film of 1 Hungary and of the ways of life of the Hungarian people. After five months of negotiations with Hungarian officials and with the full permission of the United States State Department, Wiancko entered Hungary with his cameras and tape recorders and filmed the first and only full-color travel motion picture in Hungary ever made by an American. He filmed the ways of life of peasants, students, workers, gypsies, g rea t a rtists and fishermen. In Budapest, “The Beloved City,” he recorded the story of one of the world’s most remarkable cities and the ways of life of its million people. A visit is made to Budapest by night. A trip is made to beautiful Lake Balaton, and a river trip is made on the Danube. The itin erary also includes being guests a t a Hungarian wedding and stops a t ancient castles and fortre sses.

Panelists will he: Mrs. Francis Donnon, supervisor of student teachers at Millersville STC. Mrs. Donnon attended West Chester STC; and earned her BS a t Kutz-town STC.

The Rt. Rev. Allen W. Schattschnei-der, pastor, will be in charge. Thirteen lanterns have been placed on the square which are exact -colpies to t'h)e original lamps, and form the entire lighting for the area. The borough turned off the borough lights as an experiment, a n d the general feeling is th a t this has been successful. A great deal oif reasearch went into restoring the lanterns, as church members wanted to go back as close as they could to the original oil lamps. According to records, oil lamps were followed with gas lamps, and la te r when electricity was brought to Lititz the Church fathe rs debated for several years before utilizing it, because they d id n 't believe it was “ here to stay.” A large new sign indicating “»Moravian Church Square,” with the legend “ established in 1757,” has been erected a t the entrance to the square, as an aid to visitors. The sign is a memorial to Mabel Eshleman Reinhold, mother oif Mrs. Donald Rannels, who was Jane Re in hold before marriage. The late Mrs. Reinhold was a native of Lititz, lived in Lancaste r many years, and then returned to Lititz. It is expected th a t la ter on another sign will be placed below this one, containing a map of the square, and information about the buildings therein. Also to be dedicated is the new bulletin board fo r the ohur-ch, which contains the times of services, topics, etc. This has been constructed as a memorial to Mr. and Mrs. Monroe Smith, residents of Spruce St., for many years, and parents oif several children who live in the Litiitz area. The church square originally was surrounded by a rail fence to keep the cow's out, and la- Wins By Slim Margin Of 81 Ballots Joseph M. Brubaker, Republican, Lititz R3, was elected Warwick Township supervisor by the narrow margin of 81 votes over Paul R. Ibach, in cumbent for 26 years, in Tuesday’s election. The race was so close th a t one distric t was still counting votes a t 3 a.m. Tuesday. Totals showed 571 votes for Brubaker and 4 90 for Ibach. The “ race” was unique, in th a t Ibach, a Republican, was Punning on the Democratic ticket because he was defeated in the May primary. Another oddity is th a t Brubaker was an appointee to the candidacy, and not nominated in the May primary. Instead, Robert H. Kurtz, Republican, Rothsville, had ru n against Ibach in the primary and had won. But shortly the re afte r, it was found th a t he was not a registered voter a t the time, and therefore he withdrew as a candidate for the fall election, and in September, Brubaker was selected by the Republican committee to fill the vacancy. Robert Garner R. was elected township auditor, receiving 874 votes. There was one write-in vote for Fred Vinson, Democrat. Melvin Ditzler, Democrat received one write-in vote for supervisor. In the contest for school director-at-large, H o r a c e A. Kauffman, who ran on. both the Republican and Democratic tickets, received th e largest total number of votes, 2575, of which 1885 were Republican and 690 Democratic. Rodney C. Welch, running on the Republican ticket, received 2055 votes, a n d ’W. Scott Cummings running on the Democratic Tickets got 859 votes. Uncontested for school auditor- at-large was Domer Brenner, who received a total of 1029 votes. In the borough, ’where four councilunen were to be elected, the re was only one contest. Charles F. Krushinski, Democrat, received 188 votes in the second ward, defeated by incumbent C. Wendell Hower, R., 335 votes, for a four-year term. All other incumbent Republicans were also reelected: first ward, Edward G. Reese, 39 9; second ward, two-year term, D. Curtis Amidon, 366; third ward, Robert E. Au-nient, 364 votes on the Republican ticket and 105 on the Democratic ticket. Joseph Brubaker (Twp. Supervisor) _ Of interest to Lititz was th e fact th a t Herbert R. Waga-man, Democratic County Commissioner, regained his seat over the party-backed candidate, Earl B. Myers. Waga-man's vote was 23,407 and Myers, 20,453. In t)he Lititz, Warwick, Elizabeth units, Wagaman received 1232 votes. In Elizabeth Township, William E. Hickman, Republican, was reelected supervisor with 15 6 votes. There were two write-ins — both Democrats, Howard Kline and George White, each of whom received one vote. The break-down of the vote for Warwick Township supervisor was as follows; i War-wick- Warwick, Brubaker, R., 244; Ibach, D., 178; Warwick East, Brubaker, R., 327; Ibach 312. The vote for school director-at- large was as follows: Welch, R., Warwick-War-wick, 335; Warwick East," 439; Elizabeth Township, 1-^8; Lititz Borough, 1st W a rd ,' 398; 2nd Ward, 365; 3rd Ward, 369. • • >4| Kauffman, Warwick East, R., 385; D., 139; Warwick- Warwick, R., 289; D., 83; Elizabeth Township, R., 132; D., 67; Lititz Boro, 1st ward, R., 382; D., 136; 2nd ward, R., 345; D., 155; 3rd Ward, R., 352; D„ 110.

Dog’s Barking Rescues Lititz Man From Blaze The barking of a tiny dog, p a rt Chihuahua and part toy terrie r, is credited with saving the life of a Lititz resident from a fire which ruined his home early Saturday morning, and partially destroyed the American Legion building next door. Elmer (Tommy) Adams, who lived in a double house a t 105 N. Broad St., was awakened about 3 a.m. Saturday by the barking of his dog, Tony, to find his home in flames. Meanwhile, Mrs. Ellsworth Shreiner, whose family occupied th e other half of the house, was aroused by the flames and smoke, and turned in an alarm at 3:20 a.m. She awakened her husband and two children, and they fled the house.

The smallest consumers would receive the smallest re duction, or 3.6 per cent for users of 1,500 cubic feet. The benefits increase as the use grows, so th a t users of 40,- 107 cubic feet would have a reduction of 20.5 per cent. This is a peak a fte r which the. ra te of reduction drops gradually to 7.6 per cent, then gains again until the largest consumer, (Lambert Hudnut, which uses two million cubic feet) gets a reduction of 19.5 per cent. The minimum w ater bill would be $4.50 a quarter, or less than a cent a gallon, and the minimum sewer bill would be $11.25 for six months payable $5.50 the firs t q u arter, and $5.75 the second q u arter, then $5.50 again and so on alternatingly. The proposed revised rates are as follows: water, 1000 to 2,500 cubic feet, $6; sewer, $7.50; 2,500 to 7,500 cu. feet, $5.25 and $6.75; 7,500 to 15,000 cu. feet, $4.50 and $6; 15,000 to 25,000 cu. feet, $3.75 to $5.25; 25,000 to 50,- 000 cu. feet, $3 and $4.50; 50.000 to 100,000 cu. feet, $2.25 and $3.75; 100,000 to 200.000 Cu. feet, $1.50 and $3; over 200,000 cu. feet, seventy- five cents and $2.25. The majority of the residential units are in the, first two groups, and the remainder is business and industry, Boro Manager Armstrong said. The new schedule reduces th e basic income of the borough by about $8,000. The ra te stru c tu re has been studied for well over a year, Armstrong said, explaining th a t the original thinking was for greater reduction, but in order to make the structure more fiscally sound a lesseir reduction was made. Since there is no profit involved an attempt is being made to keep the ra te stru c tu re consistent with providing a good service at the least possible cost, Armstrong said. The new rates will not a ffect the December 1 bills, but will go into effect March 1, 1964. Brubaker Defeats Ibach For Twp. Supervisor Hungarian Travelogue Next In Rotary Series Boro Plans Ice Removal The borough is now preparing for the winter ahead and stocking supplies of sa lt and calcium chloride fo r snow a n d ice removal. This economical and efficient de-icer, combined according to the ice condition, today is the accepted method of combatting winter hazards, Borough Manager R. Keith Armstrong points out. More than 4 6,000 pounds were used la st winter alone to protect pedestrians and passengers. Depite th is large amount, proper snow and ice control measures cost only about 10 to 15 cents per capita per winter. This is due to the fact th'at Chemicals are not only th e most efficient, but most economical method of control as proven by scientific tests, Armstrong said. Modern methods call for 100 per cent use of chemicals v/Mch pene trate the ice, bore down to the road with a corkscrew action, and th en undercut t h e frozen mas» w ith brine which tnelts th e bond between ice and pavement, th e borough manager explained. The borough i» preparing -for-winter by stock-piling 3 6, 000 pounds of safety sa lts and calcium chloride. Snow plows and other equipment are now ready. A new spreader has (been purchased and the public can expect a minimum of delays and hazards, Armstrong stated.

The Rt. Rev. Allen W. Schattschnei-der, pastor, will be in charge. Thirteen lanterns have been placed on the square which are exact -colpies to t'h)e original lamps, and form the entire lighting for the area. The borough turned off the borough lights as an experiment, a n d the general feeling is th a t this has been successful. A great deal oif reasearch went into restoring the lanterns, as church members wanted to go back as close as they could to the original oil lamps. According to records, oil lamps were followed with gas lamps, and la te r when electricity was brought to Lititz the Church fathe rs debated for several years before utilizing it, because they d id n 't believe it was “ here to stay.” A large new sign indicating “»Moravian Church Square,” with the legend “ established in 1757,” has been erected a t the entrance to the square, as an aid to visitors. The sign is a memorial to Mabel Eshleman Reinhold, mother oif Mrs. Donald Rannels, who was Jane Re in hold before marriage. The late Mrs. Reinhold was a native of Lititz, lived in Lancaste r many years, and then returned to Lititz. It is expected th a t la ter on another sign will be placed below this one, containing a map of the square, and information about the buildings therein. Also to be dedicated is the new bulletin board fo r the ohur-ch, which contains the times of services, topics, etc. This has been constructed as a memorial to Mr. and Mrs. Monroe Smith, residents of Spruce St., for many years, and parents oif several children who live in the Litiitz area. The church square originally was surrounded by a rail fence to keep the cow's out, and la- Wins By Slim Margin Of 81 Ballots Joseph M. Brubaker, Republican, Lititz R3, was elected Warwick Township supervisor by the narrow margin of 81 votes over Paul R. Ibach, in cumbent for 26 years, in Tuesday’s election. The race was so close th a t one distric t was still counting votes a t 3 a.m. Tuesday. Totals showed 571 votes for Brubaker and 4 90 for Ibach. The “ race” was unique, in th a t Ibach, a Republican, was Punning on the Democratic ticket because he was defeated in the May primary. Another oddity is th a t Brubaker was an appointee to the candidacy, and not nominated in the May primary. Instead, Robert H. Kurtz, Republican, Rothsville, had ru n against Ibach in the primary and had won. But shortly the re afte r, it was found th a t he was not a registered voter a t the time, and therefore he withdrew as a candidate for the fall election, and in September, Brubaker was selected by the Republican committee to fill the vacancy. Robert Garner R. was elected township auditor, receiving 874 votes. There was one write-in vote for Fred Vinson, Democrat. Melvin Ditzler, Democrat received one write-in vote for supervisor.

Kauffman, who ran on. both the Republican and Democratic tickets, received th e largest total number of votes, 2575, of which 1885 were Republican and 690 Democratic. Rodney C. Welch, running on the Republican ticket, received 2055 votes, a n d ’W. Scott Cummings running on the Democratic Tickets got 859 votes. Uncontested for school auditor- at-large was Domer Brenner, who received a total of 1029 votes. In the borough, ’where four councilunen were to be elected, the re was only one contest. Charles F. Krushinski, Democrat, received 188 votes in the second ward, defeated by incumbent C. Wendell Hower, R., 335 votes, for a four-year term. All other incumbent Republicans were also reelected: first ward, Edward G. Reese, 39 9; second ward, two-year term, D. Curtis Amidon, 366; third ward, Robert E. Au-nient, 364 votes on the Republican ticket and 105 on the Democratic ticket. Joseph Brubaker (Twp. Supervisor) _ Of interest to Lititz was th e fact th a t Herbert R. Waga-man, Democratic County Commissioner, regained his seat over the party-backed candidate, Earl B. Myers. Waga-man's vote was 23,407 and Myers, 20,453. In t)he Lititz, Warwick, Elizabeth units, Wagaman received 1232 votes. In Elizabeth Township, William E. Hickman, Republican, was reelected supervisor with 15 6 votes.
