¡Making Progress
Officials of hte Lancaster Un­it
of the American Canteer state
that progress is being made in
the fight against cancer, and
that 1,200,000 men, women
and children are alive today,
cured of cancer. Improvements
in surgery, radiation, use of
drugs, new techniques of di­agnosis,
better facilities f o r
treatment, the public’s concern
about cancer and action on
that concern, are saving the
lives of tens of thousands of
Americans annually, who
would have died if they had
had the disease less than a
generation ago.
Costly research has accom­plished
much of this, th e y
point out. This is one of the
reasons why the American
Cancer Society’s programs of
•rds'eafch, ■*'edfrcifftbn and ser­vice
are asking for support.
There is an agreement with a
real estate broker which as­sures
him a six per cent com­mission
if the hotel is sold
during that period.
Another stockholder said
they have received two more
offers from other individuals,
one of whom, at least, would
meet the price asked the
Church group. Oehrne, contac­ted
yesterday, Said he had no
plans at the present time to
make a new offer.
According to market values,
based on assessment figures,
the building and the land are
valued ait $96,009, exclusive of

Warwick: Officials Ask
Clarification On School
The Warwick Township »Up-, roads in the vicinity otf Kissel
Hill.
“ 2. The (planned use ¡of the
open space surrounding ; the
proposed school so 'that t h e
béat, interests orf all .neighbor­hood
children may be served
for recreational ‘purposes.
“3. The best ¡possible Use of
the school structure as ,a base
no\y and in the future for
neighborhood activities.
“We are vitally interested
that this neiw facility be (plan­ned
now ifor use as a neigh-borhod
Community (center as
well as an elementary School.
Kissel Hill is one of the most
rapidly expanding areas of sub­urban
living north of the city
and as such provides a sub­stantial
portion of township
tax revenue. Many- new Con­cepts
have been developed in
relation to .maximum use of
educational structures for com­munity
living, and we are in­terested
that these conCeipts.be
recognized and considered so
that maximum' value for each
tax dollar spent may accrue to
ourcititzens.”
ervisors and thé Township
Planning Commission are seek­ing
a meeting with the War­wick
Union School board in or­der
to obtain more informa­tion
about the proposed Kissel
Hill School, Joseph R. Snavelÿ,
Planning Commission chair­man,
said yesterday.
He said neither body has
been consulted about plans for
the proposed cshool, and how
it will affect the area. Neither
has the Lititz Borough Plan­ning
Commission been consult­ed,
he said- This body also is
expected to ask for a meeting.
In a letter addressed to Dr.
Howard B. Minnich, president
of the school board, and signed
by Isaac H. Stoner, president of
the Warwick township super­visors,
and by Snavely, th e
township officials say:
“The recently announced de­cision
by the School Board to
erect a new elementary school
on the Hogan tract in Kissel
Hill is of utmost concern to
the Board of Supervisors and
the Planning Commission off
Warwick Township.
“Since the township govern­ment
has not been consulted up
to this time, we respectfully re­quest
that a meeting be arran­ged
as soon as possible between
representatives of the School
Board and the Supervisors and
the Planning Commission for a
! full discussion of the scope of
your plans. We also recomm­end
that the Lititz Borough
Planning Commission be invi­ted
to attend. •
“At least three areas are of
immediate concern to us in
this stage off preliminary plan­ning;
“1. The effects off the pro­posed
building on traffic and

“Going Buggy” Opens
Friday At Warwick H. S.
“Going Buggy” opens tomor­row
night on the Warwick
High School Stage for a two-night
stand after seven months
of preparation. Curtain time is
8:30 p.m. This fifth annual
original musical comedy, pre­sented
by,the American Bus­iness
Club of Lititz for the
benefit of local projects, is
alive with music, dancing and
comedy.

confidential script depicts life
today in Lancaster County and
the interruption off. the .day-to-day
living of an Amish family,
known as the Petersheims, by
two “worldly” New York base­ball
scouts.
The lighthearted production
has a change of scenery in the
opening of the second act as
the stage is created into a
County Fair, featuring the
kickeroo gals and Nick, N a t
and Nellie. Emotions change
from laughter to sadness, but
musical comedy prevails as you
will all see when the footlights
are turned on in this 1964
production, which according to
the best authorities is bigger
and better than previou's
show's,
Many wonderful hours of
fun and laughter have been put
into this show of shows, hut
thousands of hours of work
also go on behind the scenes
in preparing for this annual
affair so many Lititz residents
look forward to each year.
