Some Lane Antiques
To Remain In Lititz
The Lititz Historical Asso­ciation
will be given or
loaned many of the antiques
owned by the late Dr. Cam­eron
E. Lane, it was revealed
this week.
They will be made avail­able
by the Buchanan Founda­tion
for the Preservation of
Wheatland, which was chief
beneficiary of Dr. Lane’s es­tate.
However, he had often
pressed the wish that cer­tain
things would remain here,
it was stated.
The Buchanan Foundation
is interested in keeping as
many of the items in Lancas­ter
county as it can, and after
it makes its own selection,
will donate or lend various
pieces to appropriate places in
List Rules For
Applicants For
Surplus Foods
To become eligible for gov­ernment
surplus foods, per­sons
must register first at the
County Home, 900 East King
Street, it was announced by
J. Robert Shank, head of the
Lancaster Surplus Foods Bu­reau.
Surplus foods will be dis­tributed
again in this area on
October 13, from 12:30 to 2:30
p.m. in the Lititz Recreation
inter, to eligible persons
from Lititz Borough, Warwick
and Elizabeth Townships.
Shank said the foods are
for needy persons who main­tain
cooking facilities and eat
meals at home. Those receiv­ing
Department of Public As­sistance
Funds, such as old
age, aid to the blind, or aid
for permanently disabled,. are
eligible, as well as those who
have financial difficulties mak­ing
them unable to provide
sufficient food for themselves,
including those who are un­employed,
or employed only
part-time.
Applicants must bring proof
of earnings, Social Security
cards, proof of address, (such
as gas or electric receipts),
data on unemployment and
Public Assistance, and birth
certificates of children under
16 years of age.
They must come in person
unless they are disabled.- In
that case they may appoint a
proxy to sign the application
and pick up the food for them.
The person assigned as proxy
ust have a note from the
applicant.
The foods usually available
are: flour, rice, beans, butter,
cheese, canned meat, rolled
wheat, lard, dry milk, corn
meal and peanut butter.

at designated times for three
successive months, they are
taken off the eligibility lists.
the county, such as Lititz.
Members of „the Buchanan
Foundation recently visited
the Lane home in company
with Dr. Byron K. Horne and
Owen Hershey of the Lititz
Historical Society. Dr. Horne
said they are asking the
Buchanan group to give or
lend to the Lititz group the
things which are distinctly
“Lititz,” made here, or used
here. Some would be museum
pieces and others will be used
to furnish the Historical House
at 37-39 E. Main St., Dr.
Horne said.
The local group has tagged
a number of items they would
like to have, and will look
over all the things again at a
warehouse where everything
was taken in a large van,
Tuesday. There the things
will be sorted out, cleaned
and catalogued before final
disposition of them is made.
Among the items the local
Foundation has asked for is
a Dutch cupboard, spinning
and weaving equipment, Lehn
painted woodenware, chairs
made in Lititz and old pots
and pans. The Lehn ware was
made by a local draftsman
who died in 1892 at the age
of 94. He was of the same
family as Dr. Lane, although
he spelled his name different­ly.
Many of the antiques have
been in the house, built by
his family in 1828, since long
before he started the practice
of dentistry in 1901. Many
more he bought. Much of the
collection will not go on sale
to the general public, as the
Buchanan Foundation plans to
keep anything appropriate to
Wheatland and its period and
anything indigenous to Lan­caster
County.

District. A committee was ap­pointed
with Howard Koster
as chairman to work with the
ministers in organizing an ad­ministrative
Board which
would operate the program.
They hope to. have it in oper­ation
next year. This will be
done in cooperation with the
School Board and all church­es
will be invited to partici­pate.
“The school, while not com­pulsory,
is tO' be established
and operated in the true spir­it
of religion and the letter
of the law is to be preserved
in all relationships with the
churches and interested indi­viduals,”
a spokesman said.

will meet with the
ministers on October 7 to con­sider
this project. Plans were
also discussed to hold Week
of Prayer services on January

Plan To Attend
Conferences
~ A number of Warwick Dis­trict
faculty members will at­tend
conferences this fall.
Edward D. Smith, Miss Joan
Riehl and Mis. Ethel H. Car
penter will attend a guidance
meeting at Harrisburg, Sept.
25 and 26.
Harold W. Swisher, high
school principal, and Carl B.
Kaufman; assistant principal,
will attend the Secondary
Principals’ conference in Har­risburg,
October 26 and 27.
Edgar L. Lawton, director
of elementary education, and
Walter H. Texter, principal of
Lititz elementary school, will
attend the Elementary Prin
cipals’ Conference in Pitts­burgh,
October 22, 23 and 24.
Also, K. L. Shirk, Jr., school
district solicitor, and Herbert
E. Fry, school district secre
tary, will attend the annual
meeting of the Penr y'T.r
School Board Association in
Pittsburgh, November 5, 6
and 7.
Approval for their attend­ance
was given by the School
Board at its meeting, Wed­nesday
night.
A revised agreement to set
up a Recreation board here
will be considered by borough
council at its next meeting,
Tuesday, Sept. 29, at 7:30 p.m.
The agreement is with the
Warwick Union School board
and the Lititz Recreation Cen­ter.
The document is the first
“firm” draft, of an agreement
between the three units con­cerned,
and marks the first
time the three attorneys for
the units sat down together and
wrote in the ideas expressed
by each organization and a
joint committee of the three.
The attorneys included Paul
Allison for the borough; K. L.
Shirk, Jr., for the School dis­trict,
and George Morgan for
the Recreation Center.
The borough has established
a recreation board which will
be responsible for the devel­opment
of a coordinated rec­reation
program for the bor­ough
and the townships. Ac­cording
to the proposed agree­ment,
the three bodies may
develop their own plans for
recreation activities, but they
must be approved by the Rec­reation
Board. The three bod­ies
will provide their recrea­tion
facilities to the program
on leasing terms deemed ad­visable
for the effective carry­ing
out of the program. For
example, the school district
could provide the use of build­ings
and grounds for the pro­gram.
According to the agreement,
the school board will pay $6,-
700 for the period July 1,
1964 to June 30, 1965, and
the borough will pay $4,300
for the same period. After
June 30, 1965, the contribu­tions
from the borough and
school district will be based
on assessed valuation. The Rec­reation
Center will prepare
the budget four months prior
to the end of the fiscal year,
June 30, to be approved by
the Recreation Board on May
20. The board will include two
members or appointees each
of the borough and of the
school board, and these four
in turn will appoint one mem­ber
from the Recreation Cen­ter
board. The Center director
will be elected by the Rec­reation
Board, and will be re­sponsible
to the school board,
which will elect other certi­fied
personnel. The agreement

The agenda for the meeting
will include goals for pool im­provement

among them some social
gatherings which will allow
a few evenings of fun. The
association has 35 family mem­berships
which represent less
than ten per cent of the po­tential.
They urge the mem­bers
of the community to help
make up the other 90 per cent.
Among the projects to be
discussed are the following
pool improvement goals: Chil­dren’s
swim achievement pro­gram,
purchase of swim team
kick boards, purchase of chairs
for pool, added recreation
equipment, swim team patch­es,
other team accessories.
Proposed winter activities to
be discussed are: Card party

December activities of ei­ther
winter swim, bowling or
roller skating.
Membership is $1 per year
per family in the association,
and may be paid at the meet­ing
or sent to Mrs. John R.
There are still a few mo­torists
who are not observing
the detour signs in the center
of town, and Police Chief
George C. Hicks reminded
them to do so.
In the case of Water and
Cedar Streets, which have
now been made one-way, he
reminded drivers that they
should have their vehicles in
the left lane to make the
turns, and not try to make
them from the right lane.
