school athletes. The runners
will be followed closely by a
mobile bank which will re­ceive
contributions along the
route. This is the first time
in history that an unbroken
chain of runners will cross the
country for this purpose.
Runners from the Lititz
area will be Danny Rossi,
football and wrestling star,
and Ed Nixdorf, track star,
both of Warwick High
School.
Plans call for the torch to
pass in this area on September
2 on Route 22 from Easton to
Harrisburg. From there it is
to be carried to Altoona on
Route 22. Contributions from
this area will be turned over
to the national committee by
a Jaycee representative at this
time.
Donald L. Caldwell, 123
Mayfield Drive, Jaycee chair­man
for the event in this area,
said that the name of this na­tion-
wide project is “Run for
the Money.” Its purpose is to
raise $1 million for the United
States Olympic team at Tokyo,
Japan, and it has the com­plete
backing of the United
States Olympic committee.
“The United States Olympic
team, as in the past, must de­rive
its finances through pub­lic
contributions,” Caldwell
said. “It receives no assistance
from the government as do the
teams of some other nations.”
The Jaycees want to take
the doubt out of securing the
needed funds for the Olympic
team, Caldwell said, and in
taking over this project they
are the first national organiza-

Area Phones
To Retain
Toll Charge
Results of the poll of Denver
and Ephrata Telephone and
Telegraph Company customers
indicate a preference for re­taining
present toll charges on
calls from Lititz to Lancaster.
On June 12 (the Denver and
Ephrata Company mailed lett­ers
to its customers in Akron,
Ephrata, Lititz and Manheim,
offering them toll-free service
on Lancaster calls at increas­ed
monthly local service rates.
Customers were requested to
return postal cards indicating
their preference by July 31.
In Akron, Ephrata and Man­heim,
those voting expressed
a preference for retaining toll
charges of 4 to 3, 3.5 to 1 and
1.5 to 1, respectively. In Lit­itz,
customers voted 6 to 5 in
favor of toll-free service. How­ever,
unreturned postal cards
had to be counted as votes
against toll-free service. In­cluding
these in the tally
changed the vote to 5 (to 3 in
favor of continuing toll charg­es.
Mrs. Bertha B. Blair, presi­dent
of Denver and Ephrata,
said that in accordance with
the expressed desire of the
customers toll charges on toll
calls to Lancaster will be con­tinued.
However, she added,
“growth and development in
the area should intensify the
communuity of interest be­tween
these D & E exchanges
and Lancaster. Therefore, The
Denver and Ephrata Company
will continue to regard toll-free
service to Lancaster as a
possibility in the future,”

Lads Prowl
All Night -
AdmitThefts
Borough Police received a
call Monday night at 10:45 p.m.
from residents of Linden St.
that some one was prowling
around the neighborhood.
Officers Leroy Emmerick and
James Fritz responded to the
call and picked up a 13-year-old
Lititz boy in the area
who admitted he and two other
boys were attempting to break
into a vacant home on the
street. The other two, both 15
years old, had fled and ridden
on their bicycles to the far
side of Manheim, but later re­turned
to Lititz. At 3:30 a.m.
they were picked up in the
laundromat on East Main St.
where they were sleeping. One
of the 15-year-old boys ad­mitted
to breaking into the
Ambuc’s refreshment stand in
the Park and stealing $22.
The three lads each told
their parents they were sleep­ing
with one of the other
boys, but instead they were
roaming around all night, Chief
Hicks said. He urged parents
to check their children more
carefully.
They are also being ques­tioned
about other incidents.
The Ambucs’ refreshment
stand was broken into on
July 29, by forcing the hasp
off the door. Potato chips and
$25 in cash were stolen, police
said. The same night some one
climbed over the fence at the
Lititz Springs Swimming Pool
and broke into the ice cream
cabinet, throwing some ice
cream into the pool. A bicycle
also was thrown into the pool.
On July 30 the concession
stand in Lititz Springs park
run by Lester Bingeman was
broken into, and three boxes
of cigars, four dozen ice cream
cups and six dozen popsicles
were stolen. Goods were valu­ed
at about $30.
The storage building at th*
Lions playground was entered
July 31, but apparently no­thing
was missing, Police said.
Chief Hicks said Warwick
High School was entered on
August 3, and several class­rooms
showed evidence of van­dalism.
School officials haven’t
determined if anything was
taken. Later a pack of pencils
and rubber bands were found
at the nearby Church of the
Brethren, which Hicks said
apparently came from the
school.

steeple is the design of David
Tannenberg, the famous 18th
