Construction of North Broad Street will cost the borough about $2,500 more than it had anticipated, it was confirmed this week by Borough Manager George D. Steedle. The original contract was for $37,539. This is because the water main will have to be lowered from Kleine Street to Front Street, instead of just from Front Street to north of the borough line, as originally estimated. Steedle said they made tests in three different spots, measured the depth of the water main, and filled the holes in { again. The line was found not to be set deep enough.

All meetings will start at 8 p.m. The first meeting will be held October 15, when “Meet the Teachers Night” will be ^observed.

PLAN BOOK SALE Mrs. Dale Cartwright, chairman of the Fine Arts and Education Committee of the Woman’s Club, requests all persons who may have books they wish to dispose of to give them to the Club for their spring book sale. The following ladies will call for them: Mrs. Cartwright, Mrs. Reyer O. Swan and Mrs. '’■'rdon Burkey. Herman Stark, 110 East Second Ave., completed 60 years of active work last Friday when he retired from the Animal Trap Company of America. He will be seventy-four years old in November. He was first employed there in 1904 when it was under another ownership, but for a seven and a half year period was employed elsewhere, so he has been in the trap business for more than 50 years. Forty of these years were with the Animal Trap Company o f America, which bought out its predecessors in 1924. When Stark started work, he received five cents an hour and worked ten hours a day for fifty cents. His take-home pày was $3 a week. But then he quotes figures to show that a dollar went a lot farther in those days than it does now. For example, butter was 18 cents a pound, eggs, 15 cents a dozen, cheese, 12 cents a pound, bread, nine cents a loaf and milk, seven cents a quart. One of his first jobs was bending the rat trap hinges by hand. Mexican Adventures Are Subject Of Travelogue Romain Wilhelmsen, Pasadena, Calif., will deliver the first in the series of Rotary Club Travelogues on Saturday evening, October 17, at 8 p.m. in the Warwick High School auditorium. His subject will be “The Soul of Mexico,” presented in a new color film which he narrates. Wilhelmsen attended St. Joseph’s College in Indiana for two years, and is a graduate of the Pasadena Playhouse, Pasadena, Calif., training school ' - the stage. He is a member v. the Los Angeles Adventurer’s Club, and has written a number of newspaper articles and magazine stories of his adventures. Wilhelmsen started his film-lecture career in 1953, and, to date, he has completed six syndicated on “Bold Journey’ lecture films. He estimates and „j Search for Adventure.’ that he has appeared in person before more than 2,000 audiences.

He has rarely been ill. In October, 1963, he was hospitalized for a minor operation, and this was one of the few times he was sick. Stark worked for four owners of the Trap Company. At first it was the J. M. Mast Manufacturing Company, then the Lititz Trap Company operated by a Mr. Shultz, then the Oneida Community (the same firm that makes silverware) and, finally, the Animal Trap Company of America, as it is now. It has grown tremendously from one small building 40 years ago, to a huge complex of many buildings. For 28 of the 40 years with the firm, Stark worked as office janitor, and packing mouse traps was his last job there. In between times, he worked six years for Eby Shoe company; one year (Continued on Page 6) Romain Wilhelmsen Martin Chevrolet Succeeds Steffy Martin Chevr ol e t , Inc., opened this week as the newly authorized Chevrolet Dealer in Lititz.

He added that it “zigs and zags” in places over rock, and in spots goes up and down. As a result, the engineers have recommended to Council that 250 feet of new pipe will be needed, and council is expected to approve it at an adjourned meeting next Tuesday night.

Parade Tonight Opens Manheim Farm Show He started his professional career on the stage, and enjoyed two successful seasons on Broadway. But his heart was not in acting — so he left the theater to take up a life of adventure and exploration. He was especially interested in the “wild” parts of Mexico, Central and South America, and he avidly studied all that he could find on their lost cities, missions, lost treasures find remote civilizations. While he soon determined that source material in this country was limited, he found much more in the national libraries and missions of the Latin American countries. When he had gathered enough history on an area to determine where these old treasures might be located, he set out (Continued on Page 6) Commend 3 Students For Exam Efforts Three seniors at Warwick Union High School have been honored for their high performance on the National Merit Scholarship qualifying test given last Spring.

For that segment, Mike flew to Poughkeepsie, N.Y., and returned. In addition he was required to demonstrate proficiency in basic navigation, meteorology, radio and flight instrument flying. He1 is currently flying out of the Lancaster Municipal Airport and desires to obtain a commercial rating. 3 Accidents On One-way Thorofare Three accidents have occurred on North Water Street in recent days, attributed by Police Chief George C. Hicks to the fact that the street has been made one-way north, but motorists apparently forget to pull to the left to make turns at intersections. He urged motorists to keep in mind that North Water is now one-way north, and S Cedar Street is one-way south, and reminded them they should pull over into the proper lane before making turns.

Since the proposed bridge is on the township lines, they will share the cost. equally; they said. But they may have to build a much more expensive bridge than they had counted on because they are bound by the Department of Forests and Waters which, is dictating the size and strength, etc., of the bridge, a spokesman said. The bridge would be about a mile downstream from the lake that would be formed by damming the Hammer Creek. Elizabeth township supervisors said they had gone ovër the project with an engineer who felt that the bridge could be repaired instead of rebuilt, but no estimate has been received yet. A spokesman said they could build a bridge that would cost about $8,000, but the bridge the state wants would cost three or four times that much.
