Clubs held in Harrisburg

“Why a Consumer’s Voice in
Government?” was discussed

noted that when groups of
women bring complaints and
suggestions to Washington, they
always come armed with facts.

planned an investigation of the
gap between what the farmer
receives for his produce and
what the consumer pays for it.

was the speaker for the
Thursday night session. She

the United States. In support

cannot suppress thoughts with
which we disagree, for people
must have freedom to speak.

Kids’ Fish Day
Is Big Success
The biggest turnout of any
Kids’ Fish Day in history took
place last Sunday along Ham­mer
Creek, when four or five
hundred fishermen showed up,
including more than 300 chil­dren.
Of 500 trout stocked the pre­vious
day, about 300 were
caught, among them about 30
“prize” fish, each worth $1.
Members of the Lititz Sports-,
mon Association, sponsors of
the event, said that this was
the first year that they tried
stocking the day before, which
made the fish bite better be­cause
they were more accli­mated.
However, about 375
stocked further upstream did
not bite, they said.

Shelly appeared at the meet­ing
and stated he was getting
a lot of calls concerning trash
burning in the borough.
He said many people burn
trash fires too close to build­ings
and something should be
done to stop this. (There is
presently no ordinance against
burning trash.) He suggested
council consider an ordinance
that no open fires be allowed
and no incinerator or barrel
fires be allowed within 10 feet
of any building. He said sev­eral
complaints he has investi­gated
could have lead to seri­ous
fires.

sentiment was so strong to re­tain
the present lighting sys-
