Hicks will prosecute the owners, he stated yesterday. Robert C. Corbin, Lititz, a co-owner, said that he will go ahead with another show this Sunday evening, despite the fact that he and two others were fined Tuesday a total of $177 including costs for violating the Pennsylvania “Blue Laws.” Corbin, Donald E. Cavello, Reading, a co-owner, and James R. Hodgkins, Willow Street, projectionist at the theater, were charged by Chief Hicks after they showed a movie last Sunday night. The charges were filed before Justice of the Peace Paul F. Diehm, before whom all three appeared Tuesday night. Each was fined $50 plus costs of $9. According to state law, movies may not be shown on Sundays unless approved by local option. Lititz turned it down in a referendum in 1935.

Orange St., and Dr. Cassel was driving north on Raspberry Alley. The latter failed to see the oncoming car, and pulled out, resulting in a collision, Chief Hicks said. He will be prosecuted for failure to yield the right of way. There were no injuries. VOTERS ENROLL Fifty-four Elizabeth township voters registered at Brickerville Sept. 8, when special registrations were taken. The total included 34 Republicans and 20 Democrats. AT LONG, LONG LAST:—Upheaval shown above is the first step in the long-awaited reconstruction of North Broad St. The borough is relocating its water mains and the UGI its gas lines preliminary to the rebuilding of the street by the State.

School Enrollments Top Previous Figures With 126 more elementary school pupils than last year, and forty more kindergarten pupils, Warwick Union District Schools are pointing up the urgent need for the proposed addition to the John Beck School, and a proposed new building at Kissel Hill. There are 1915 elementary pupils as compared to 1789 last year. Figures for elementary school enrollment were made available by Edgar L. Lawton, director of elementary education. He stated that there are 266 children in kindergarten this year, which he said represents about two-thirds of the number of tots who would be eligible to attend. This means that there will be about 60 more first graders next school year. It is significant to note that the total of 283 pupils in rented rooms just about equals the total number in the entire Rothsville school, where 289 pupils are enrolled. This overflow is sufficient to fill four or five rooms right now. At Lititz elementary, 960 pupils are enrolled, and at the Lutheran Education building there are 241. Trinity E. C. church is taking care of 42 pupils. John Beck has an enrollment of 383. At the high school, where Program For Women At Rec. Center Due to the many calls and inquiries about the Recreation Holiday for Women program, the following information has been drawn up by the Recreation Center in an attempt to clarify all questions. No registration will be taken before October 6, which is Registration Day. A $5 fee for participation in this program covers any number of classes chosen by an individual woman. A $1 fee for Recreation membership and $1 Holiday dues are also required. The nursery will be open on Registration Day. There will be no charge for that day. The program will be held every Tuesday morning, starting on October 13. The schedule is as follows: 9—9:45, Sl imn a s t i c s , Mrs. Arthur Grimm; 9—10, Weight Control, Mrs. Doris Young; 9—10, Investments, Jack Watson; 9:45 —10:15, coffee break; 10—11, Sl imn a s t i c s , Mrs.' Arthur Grimm; 10—12, Knitting, Mrs. Polly Roth; 10—12, Beginners Bridge, Mrs. Mel Evans; 10— 12, Art—Oils and Watercolor, Mrs. John Lang; 10—12, Rug Braiding, Mrs. David Young; 10—12, Home Nursing, Mrs. Christine Haller.

Enrollment by classes is as follows: 12th grade, 150; Uth, 165; 10th, 192; 9th, 200; 8th, 228; 7th, 207, plus 33 in the special education class. This makes a total to date of 3090 in the entire district. Plan To Review Street Names The Lititz Borough Planning Commission will review all the names of streets in the borough, it was announced following a meeting of the Commission, Tuesday night. This is being done at the request of Borough Council. While no duplications exist, there is some confusion in street signs, according to Garth Becker, commission chairman. For example, there are signs indicating “Second Avenue” and “Second Street,” yet it is the same thoroughfare. A borough map of some years ago will be consulted in the review. The Commission approved the revised sub-division regulations and passed them on to Borough Council with a recommendation that they be adopted. Basically, it is updated to be in line with the County Planning commission, and revision refers only to paper work, such as the size of the maps, etc., and not to any changes in land use. The plan of a section of Sutter Village which was approved last April, but not recorded in time to meet the County Planning Commission’s Deadline, was reapproved. The commission recently reorganized by reelecting Becker chairlnan, Dennis Craig, vice chairman, and George D. Steedle, secretary. Fire Chief Asks Drivers To Clear Sts. Fire Chief Ammon Shelly today made an appeal to motorists to cooperate with the traffic problem in the center of town when they hear the fire siren. Motorists are asked to pull out of the way to help make sure the fire trucks can get through, he said. The problem has been complicated, Chief Shelly said, by the new detour through the center of town. It normally takes an average of 90 seconds for firemen to respond to the siren, but the detours and one-way streets will result in delays which are anticipated to more than double the time needed to reach the north end of town, Chief Shelly said. Therefore, the cooperation of the motorists is very important in clearing the streets in the center of town, the Fire Chief pointed out. Even a few seconds delay could result in far worse fires, injuries and death, he said. Chief Shelly said that between 7:30 and 9 a.m. and from 3:30 to 5 p.m. every day traffic on N. Cedar Street is backed up to “Five Points,” which would make it very difficult for fire trucks to reach the north end of town. Ten Lititz firemen will attend the Lancaster Fire School on the Lafayette Fire Company grounds east of Lancaster on Sept. 19 and 20. They will receive 14 hours of training. Lititz Jaycees Are Guests Of E'town The Elizabethtown Jaycees “Rolled the Barrel” for the Lititz Jaycees last Thursday at the American Legion. Films of the 1963 World Series were shown. “Roll the Barrel” is an inter- chapter visitation program for all Jaycees chapters. The Lititz Jaycees will “Roll the Barrel” to the Willow Street Jaycees on Monday, Sept. 21. NEWCOMER HERE: “Zeke,” a rare Brittany sp.aniel, is shown here with his master, Charles B. Good, 315 S. Cedar St. These dogs are unusual in this area. Five-months old now, the dog is being trained for field work as a retriever. Buses Rerouted Due To Detour Ground - Breaking Because of the construction For Branch Bank on North Broad Street, the Lititz-Lancaster CTC buses have been rerouted. They will travel the following route: Coming in from Lancaster, the bus will travel to Main Street at the Square, turn right on Main out to Locust Street, then down Front to the Animal Trap Co.; turn left and come in Front to Liberty, north out Liberty to Lincoln Avenue, across Lincoln to North Broad, and down North Broad to Front, across Front to Cedar, south on Cedar to Main; west on Main to the Square, and out on South Broad Street to Lancaster. George D. Steedle, Borough Manager, said that as the detour progresses and changes, the bus drivers will keep the public informed as to the route. He said the CTC officials have instructed the bus drivers to do so. Ground will be broken for the new Neffsville Branch of the Farmers National Bank of Lititz on Tuesday, Sept. 22, at 3 p.m. Present at the ceremonies will be officers and directors of the bank and Manheim township officials. Representing the bank will be Alfred W. Douple, president; Jack R. Watson, vice president; James M. Mummert, cashier; James Shreiner, auditor; Robert Wonder, trust officer; William Hornberger, assistant trust officer; Ray E. Kauffman, assistant cashier and manager of the bank’s office at the Lancaster Shopping Center; also directors of the bank. Manheim Township officials are headed by J. Frank Powl, president of the Commissioners. The new branch bank will be located at the corner of Lititz Pike and Waverly Road in Neffsville, and will be an attractive Colonial building of brick with a drive-up window, plus an additional small building for another drive-up window as soon as business warrants it. There will be ample parking space at the rear of the building, off Waverly Road. Construction will start in the very near future, and the target date for completion is April, 1965. 2 Cars Collide On Broad St. A two-car accident occurred Tuesday at 4:55 p.m. on Broad Street at the square when autos driven by Mrs. Margaret Irene Hanna, 38 East Second Ave., and Mrs. Beulah K. Mus-ser, 416 S. Cedar St., collided, according to Police Chief George C. Hicks. Wheatland To Benefit From Dr. Lane’s Estate The James Buchanan Foundation for the Preservation of Wheatland is the chief beneficiary of the estate of Dr. Cameron E. Lane, Lititz dentist who died two weeks ago, it was revealed at the Lancaster County Court House, where the will is on file. According to the will, dated Nov. 8, 1962, and a codicil dated April 24, 1963, the Foundation will receive the residue and balance of the estate “for the external and internal upkeep of the buildings, lawns and trees of Wheatland,” the home of President James Buchanan. (In addition, sums were left in trust for several individuals who will receive the income, and after their deaths the principal also will go to the Buchanan Foundation. These include $2500 in trust for a niece, Mrs. Edna Rudy; $2500 in trust for Mrs. Riley Brubaker, and $2500 in trust for Dorothy Habecker. Other public bequests include $2500 for the Church of the Brethren Children’s Home in Neffsville, $1000 to the Lititz Fire Company, and $1000 to the Dental Department of the University of Pennsylvania. A nephew, Prof. Harry K. Jaycees Collect $537 For Olympics The sum of $537, or 90 per cent of the goal of $600, was collected by the Lititz Junior Chamber of Commerce to help finance the Olympic teams on their trip to Tokyo, Japan. The contributions were made in nickels, dimes and quarters, therefore represented very many individual contributors. A feature of the project was the participation of Danny Rossi and Ed Nixdorf, Warwick High athletes, who carried the lighted Olympic torch for two miles on its crosscountry trip to the coast. Donald Caldwell was chairman of the project, which was known as “Run for the Money.” CHURCHES TO MEET The Assembly of the Warwick Association of Churches will meet on Tuesday, September 22 at 7:30 p.m., in St. Luke’s United Church of Christ. Elmer Allwine, president, will be in charge. Lane, who is also executor, receives a bequest of $5000, and a niece, Florence Lane, re-1 ceives $2000. 'It is simply a coincidence that James Buchanan’s niece, Harriet, who was his hostess in the White House and at Wheatland, was named “Lane.” Those Lanes were of English descent and not related, Prof. Lane said, adding that his family was of German-Swiss descent and the name was originally spelled “Lehn.” The will directs that the bequests be made available through private or public sale. Rec Center To Sponsor Grid Contest The Recreation Center would like to encourage all boys between the ages of 8 thru 13 to participate in the National Football League Punt Pass and Kick Contest. This contest is sponsored nationally by the Ford Dealers. The Jay Cees will run the contest locally. Registration blanks can be picked up at the Recreation Center. This contest is a good physical fitness program and is also a good spectator activity, Rec. Center officials pointed out. Registration for the third class of Nursery School at the Recreation Center will remain open until Friday. Anyone interested in having their child enrolled in this class, call the Recreation Center before tomorrow. The Junior Board of the Recreation Center would appreciate any couples who would be interested in being chaperones for the Saturday night dances, starting Saturday, September 19th, and continuing through the school term, to call the Recreation Center, 626-5096 during the day; James Watson, 626-2346, Carl Shenk, 626-6072, after school. Dances are held from 8:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. Chaperones are asked to be at the Recreation Center by 8 p.m. Lititz Man Acquires Brittany Spaniel Pup A dog of a breed rarely seen around here has been acquired by a Lititz man. The five-months’ old pup is a Brittany spaniel owned by Charles B. Good, 315 S. Cedar St., who says he has been trying to find one for quite a few years. As far as is known, the dog is the first of his breed to come to Lititz. His call name is “Zeke,” and his registered name is in the process of being properly recorded. Brittany spaniels originated about 1800 in France. They are larger than a cocker spaniel, smaller than a setter, and about the size of a Springer spaniel, but with a different conformation. They are long-legged, are born with cropped tails, and 18 inches at the shoulder, about six inches less than an English setter, and weigh 30 to 40 pounds. Their legs are feathered, but their ears not so much so, and they are webfooted for retrieving in water. Good said he intends to train Zeke for field work, not for shows. The dogs are good at retrieving grouse, pheasants, quail and ducks. Zeke, a most friendly pup, is orange and white, with light-colored eyes, similar to a Chesapeake retriever. He came originally from Corning, N.Y., and was obtained through a Berks county handler. Mrs. Hanna, who was headed east on West Main Street, told police she stopped at the stop sign and pulled out to make a right turn. She said she failed to see Mrs. Mus-sers’ car, which was headed south on Broad Street, and a collision resulted. The Hanna ear then struck a parked truck on South Broad Street owned by Lester Long, 304 S. Broad St. Damage to all vehicles totalled $250. There were no injuries. Mrs. Hanna will be charged by Officer James Fritz with failure to yield the right of way. Three Speeders Arrested In Boro Three motorists were nabbed by Lititz borough police for speeding during the past week, it was reported by Police Chief George C. Hicks. Larry T. Greathouse, 46 E. Center St., Lititz, was charged with speeding and excessive noise on East Main Street, Sept. 13, before Justice of the Peace Paul F. Diehm. John E. Garvey, 1180 Coal St., Shenandoah, was charged on Sept. 14 with speeding on S. Broad St., before Justice of the Peace Harold H. Kauffman. Donald L. Young, 408 E. Main St., Lititz, was charged Sept. 14 with speeding on S. Broad St., before Squire Kauffman. Stolen Car Is Still Missing A car owned by Mrs. Dorothy M. Wolf which was stolen September 3, is still missing, Police Chief George C. Hicks said yesterday. The car had grey primer paint on it and damage to the lower right side and left front fender. When stolen, it bore the registration plate ODO087. Community Calendar Sept. 17 — 6:30 p.m. Radio Club meeting at the Recreation Center. 7:30 p.m. — Senior Citizens meeting at the Recreation Center.

Plan To Review Street Names The Lititz Borough Planning Commission will review all the names of streets in the borough, it was announced following a meeting of the Commission, Tuesday night. This is being done at the request of Borough Council. While no duplications exist, there is some confusion in street signs, according to Garth Becker, commission chairman. For example, there are signs indicating “Second Avenue” and “Second Street,” yet it is the same thoroughfare. A borough map of some years ago will be consulted in the review. The Commission approved the revised sub-division regulations and passed them on to Borough Council with a recommendation that they be adopted. Basically, it is updated to be in line with the County Planning commission, and revision refers only to paper work, such as the size of the maps, etc., and not to any changes in land use. The plan of a section of Sutter Village which was approved last April, but not recorded in time to meet the County Planning Commission’s Deadline, was reapproved. The commission recently reorganized by reelecting Becker chairlnan, Dennis Craig, vice chairman, and George D. Steedle, secretary. Fire Chief Asks Drivers To Clear Sts. Fire Chief Ammon Shelly today made an appeal to motorists to cooperate with the traffic problem in the center of town when they hear the fire siren. Motorists are asked to pull out of the way to help make sure the fire trucks can get through, he said. The problem has been complicated, Chief Shelly said, by the new detour through the center of town. It normally takes an average of 90 seconds for firemen to respond to the siren, but the detours and one-way streets will result in delays which are anticipated to more than double the time needed to reach the north end of town, Chief Shelly said. Therefore, the cooperation of the motorists is very important in clearing the streets in the center of town, the Fire Chief pointed out. Even a few seconds delay could result in far worse fires, injuries and death, he said. Chief Shelly said that between 7:30 and 9 a.m. and from 3:30 to 5 p.m. every day traffic on N. Cedar Street is backed up to “Five Points,” which would make it very difficult for fire trucks to reach the north end of town. Ten Lititz firemen will attend the Lancaster Fire School on the Lafayette Fire Company grounds east of Lancaster on Sept. 19 and 20. They will receive 14 hours of training. Lititz Jaycees Are Guests Of E'town The Elizabethtown Jaycees “Rolled the Barrel” for the Lititz Jaycees last Thursday at the American Legion. Films of the 1963 World Series were shown. “Roll the Barrel” is an inter- chapter visitation program for all Jaycees chapters. The Lititz Jaycees will “Roll the Barrel” to the Willow Street Jaycees on Monday, Sept. 21. NEWCOMER HERE: “Zeke,” a rare Brittany sp.aniel, is shown here with his master, Charles B. Good, 315 S. Cedar St. These dogs are unusual in this area. Five-months old now, the dog is being trained for field work as a retriever. Buses Rerouted Due To Detour Ground - Breaking Because of the construction For Branch Bank on North Broad Street, the Lititz-Lancaster CTC buses have been rerouted. They will travel the following route: Coming in from Lancaster, the bus will travel to Main Street at the Square, turn right on Main out to Locust Street, then down Front to the Animal Trap Co.; turn left and come in Front to Liberty, north out Liberty to Lincoln Avenue, across Lincoln to North Broad, and down North Broad to Front, across Front to Cedar, south on Cedar to Main; west on Main to the Square, and out on South Broad Street to Lancaster. George D. Steedle, Borough Manager, said that as the detour progresses and changes, the bus drivers will keep the public informed as to the route. He said the CTC officials have instructed the bus drivers to do so. Ground will be broken for the new Neffsville Branch of the Farmers National Bank of Lititz on Tuesday, Sept. 22, at 3 p.m. Present at the ceremonies will be officers and directors of the bank and Manheim township officials.

The new branch bank will be located at the corner of Lititz Pike and Waverly Road in Neffsville, and will be an attractive Colonial building of brick with a drive-up window, plus an additional small building for another drive-up window as soon as business warrants it. There will be ample parking space at the rear of the building, off Waverly Road. Construction will start in the very near future, and the target date for completion is April, 1965. 2 Cars Collide On Broad St. A two-car accident occurred Tuesday at 4:55 p.m. on Broad Street at the square when autos driven by Mrs. Margaret Irene Hanna, 38 East Second Ave., and Mrs. Beulah K. Mus-ser, 416 S. Cedar St., collided, according to Police Chief George C. Hicks. Wheatland To Benefit From Dr. Lane’s Estate The James Buchanan Foundation for the Preservation of Wheatland is the chief beneficiary of the estate of Dr. Cameron E. Lane, Lititz dentist who died two weeks ago, it was revealed at the Lancaster County Court House, where the will is on file. According to the will, dated Nov. 8, 1962, and a codicil dated April 24, 1963, the Foundation will receive the residue and balance of the estate “for the external and internal upkeep of the buildings, lawns and trees of Wheatland,” the home of President James Buchanan. (In addition, sums were left in trust for several individuals who will receive the income, and after their deaths the principal also will go to the Buchanan Foundation. These include $2500 in trust for a niece, Mrs. Edna Rudy; $2500 in trust for Mrs. Riley Brubaker, and $2500 in trust for Dorothy Habecker. Other public bequests include $2500 for the Church of the Brethren Children’s Home in Neffsville, $1000 to the Lititz Fire Company, and $1000 to the Dental Department of the University of Pennsylvania. A nephew, Prof. Harry K. Jaycees Collect $537 For Olympics The sum of $537, or 90 per cent of the goal of $600, was collected by the Lititz Junior Chamber of Commerce to help finance the Olympic teams on their trip to Tokyo, Japan. The contributions were made in nickels, dimes and quarters, therefore represented very many individual contributors. A feature of the project was the participation of Danny Rossi and Ed Nixdorf, Warwick High athletes, who carried the lighted Olympic torch for two miles on its crosscountry trip to the coast. Donald Caldwell was chairman of the project, which was known as “Run for the Money.” CHURCHES TO MEET The Assembly of the Warwick Association of Churches will meet on Tuesday, September 22 at 7:30 p.m., in St. Luke’s United Church of Christ. Elmer Allwine, president, will be in charge. Lane, who is also executor, receives a bequest of $5000, and a niece, Florence Lane, re-1 ceives $2000. 'It is simply a coincidence that James Buchanan’s niece, Harriet, who was his hostess in the White House and at Wheatland, was named “Lane.” Those Lanes were of English descent and not related, Prof. Lane said, adding that his family was of German-Swiss descent and the name was originally spelled “Lehn.” The will directs that the bequests be made available through private or public sale. Rec Center To Sponsor Grid Contest The Recreation Center would like to encourage all boys between the ages of 8 thru 13 to participate in the National Football League Punt Pass and Kick Contest. This contest is sponsored nationally by the Ford Dealers. The Jay Cees will run the contest locally. Registration blanks can be picked up at the Recreation Center.

The five-months’ old pup is a Brittany spaniel owned by Charles B. Good, 315 S. Cedar St., who says he has been trying to find one for quite a few years. As far as is known, the dog is the first of his breed to come to Lititz. His call name is “Zeke,” and his registered name is in the process of being properly recorded. Brittany spaniels originated about 1800 in France. They are larger than a cocker spaniel, smaller than a setter, and about the size of a Springer spaniel, but with a different conformation. They are long-legged, are born with cropped tails, and 18 inches at the shoulder, about six inches less than an English setter, and weigh 30 to 40 pounds. Their legs are feathered, but their ears not so much so, and they are webfooted for retrieving in water. Good said he intends to train Zeke for field work, not for shows. The dogs are good at retrieving grouse, pheasants, quail and ducks. Zeke, a most friendly pup, is orange and white, with light-colored eyes, similar to a Chesapeake retriever. He came originally from Corning, N.Y., and was obtained through a Berks county handler. Mrs. Hanna, who was headed east on West Main Street, told police she stopped at the stop sign and pulled out to make a right turn. She said she failed to see Mrs. Mus-sers’ car, which was headed south on Broad Street, and a collision resulted. The Hanna ear then struck a parked truck on South Broad Street owned by Lester Long, 304 S. Broad St. Damage to all vehicles totalled $250. There were no injuries. Mrs. Hanna will be charged by Officer James Fritz with failure to yield the right of way. Three Speeders Arrested In Boro Three motorists were nabbed by Lititz borough police for speeding during the past week, it was reported by Police Chief George C. Hicks. Larry T. Greathouse, 46 E.
