The Lrrrrz Record Serving The Warwick Union Area For Nearly Ï * Express A Century 86th Year ¿Established April, 1877, a s The Sunbeam (Consolidated w ith The U t l t z Record, 1937) Lititz, Lancaster Co., Pa., Thursday, December 12, 1963 7 oonts a c°py: $3.oo per y ea r by m a il 14 paffes __ No 35 _____________________________ ’_____________ _______________________ ______________ w ith in Lanca ste r County; 94.00 elsew h e r e r d g e s Man T ries To Evade Officer A local man faces two charges instead of one because he attempted to evade an officer of the law while he was being arrested for the first offense. James Kreider, twenty-one, 71 E. Main St., was charged by Officer H. ¿Lloyd Long on Dec. 7 for burglary and la r ceny a fte r he entered the ap a rtm en t of James Conrad, same address. He allegedly took a 'metal box containing cash, savings bonds and oilier papers, according to police, who said all was recovered .but the cash. When Officer Howard Dus-singer went to make the a rrest, he was talking to Kreider and his mother, Mrs. Blanche Kreider, on the street, land had put one handcuff on Kreider, the la tte r gave his mother a shove and tried to run away, police said. Hissinger caught him a s he rounded th e corner of a building and took him in to custody. He was committed to the Lancaster County pirison, and then charged by Officer Dissinger with resisting a rre s t as well a s burglary. K re id e r waived a -hearing on ¿both charges and will be held fo r Couirt.. Oh! For A New Vice President i T h e recent organizational meeting of th e school board proved to he an interesting one. The hoard seemed to have no problem agreeing on a president, b u t th e election of vice president was a different story. Wilbur GraybiU and Rev. Robert E tte r had been d e signated by P resident Minnich as a nominating committee. However, this committee re ported it had qo slate of officers to present. Therefore, Dr. Minnich wa* nominated for election “from th e floor” as was Reverend E tte r. The vote count revealed five votes for Dr. Minnich, one vote for Rev. E tte r and one vote for Wilbur GraybiU, who had not even been nominated. Consequently, Dr. Minnich was declared elected. The Vice Pre sid en t Story Dr. KOwalewski and Wilbur Graybill were nominated “ from the floor”. The secret ballot ^ revealed a 3 to 3 tie. Seven 1 members were present, so one evidently abstained. Still an other ballot and still an o th e r 3-3 tie. Then silence! Whereupon, Dr. Kowalewski withdrew and Wilbur Graybill was declared the new vice president. IT ’S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS! At left, Santa Claus interviews what looks like a little girl, but ou closer inspection proves to be a la rg e doll. Below Is the Nativity scene a rranged in the fountain a t th e square by the Ju n io r Chamber of Commerce, who a re thinking of tak in g it over as a project in fu tu re years. A new addition this week to the borough decorations tire little Christmas trees placed along the curbs and illuminated with blue lights. Supervisors And Ibach In Job Feud All may appear peaceful and quiet on the surface in Warwick township, but there is a miniature volcano seething underneath or a t the very least, a tempest in a te a pot is brewing. Seems th a t, according to impeccable sources, Paul Ibach, supervisor who was , defeated for reelection in November, and also is roadmaster, has placed “ roadblocks” by “ firing” his help, so th a t th e other supervisors don’t know what th e score is. Ibach, it is said, found other jobs for the men fired. One kept th e job, b u t another, who thought it was only for a day,, re tu rn ed when he found the new job was to be permanent. Ibach, who was a supervisor for 26 years, and roadmaster, a separate paid job, for about 12 years, was defeated by Joseph Brubaker for supervisor. The other -two are Aaron Martin and Isaac Stoner. They stated th a t they asked Ibach to stay on as roadmas-ter; but th a t he declined. This means th a t th e position will be open the first of the year. The job does not necessarily need to be done by a supervisor. But meanwhile, with men familiar with the work being “ fired,” and records not being made available, the supervisors are struggling along as best they can, until Such time as they can hire a new ro ad master.
