from a $35,000 studio donated
by Hershey Estates at Her­shey
in cooperation with sta­tion
WHP-TV in Harrisburg.
Anyone who has a UHF tele­vision
set can receive the pro­grams
in their homes, and
many are scheduled for 7 to 10
p.m„ Spaid said. The broad­casts
are beamed to a nine-county
area in the state.
The local schools are in
readiness to go. Antennas
have been installed on all the
buildings, and there are two
receivers in the high school,
two in the elementary school,
two in the John Beck School
in Brunnerville, and one at
Rothsville. At the Lititz ele­mentary
both sets have been
installed in the auditorium,
one on each side, so two
groups can watch at a time.
At the high school, special
outlets are being installed in
every room in the new addi­tion,
but the new building will
¿ot be ready until January.
Meanwhile, the two sets will be
in use, and schedules will be
arranged so that as many stu­dents
as possible can see the
programs.
Spaid explained that at the
present time, programs are
not scheduled solidly through­out
the day, but are at cer­tain
hours. Schools will re­ceive
schedules from Channel
33.
Programs for High school
students will include biology,
Amercan literature, astronomy,
Pennsylvania history and cur­rent
events. These will be
scattered through the day and
frequently repeated the same
day to enable more pupils to
see them. Subjects for ele­mentary
children will include
physical education, language
art, science, mathematics and
current events.
The evening programs will
include such things as the Lon­don
Royal Philharmonic
orchestra, art in the nine
county area described by Dr.
Henry Libhart of Millersville
State College, nature, includ­ing
scenes from Valley Forge,
and figures from American
history. These are a few of
the programs scheduled for the
first few nights of the proj­ect.
Teachers will receive guides
to all the programs, informing
.them how to present the
material.
Spaid said that if the pro­gram
proves successful, prob­ably
more school rooms will
be wired for TV and more sets
acquired.

said, is meeting serious
opposition, especially in the
area where it would be creat­ed.
The Lititz Springs proposal,
also under “Project 70,” is
being sought by the borough,
and is expected to develop a
considerable amount of inter-,
est, along with a discussion
of the pollution problem, it
was said.
A spokesman for the Asso­ciation

meeting will provide an oppor­tunity
for those who enjoy
walking the fields and along
the streams to make sugges­tions
which will affect the
future of hunting and fishing.

the entire project to cost
about $100,000.
Isaac H. Stoner, chairman
of the supervisors, said it was
purely an exploratory meeting.

Sale Of Sutter Hotel
Confirmed By Agent;
Plan To Open Dec. 15th
Boro Not To Curtail
Water Despite Drop
The water situation in this
area, although not acute, is
becoming somewhat precarious,
according to reports from War­wick
township and the bor­ough.
However, it is not yet
critical enough in the bor­ough
to require a restriction
on the use of water for wash­ing
cars, sprinkling lawns or
cutting down on the laundry,
officials said.
In Warwick Township, where
a scarcity has been reported
in the Rothsville and Brunner­ville
areas, it is up to the in­dividual
property owner
whether or not he will cur­tail
his own water supply, as
there is no public system.
Residents depend on wells and
cisterns.
In the borough, the smallest
and oldest well has been taken
out of service, but the other
three wells are pumping a
normal water supply, Borough
Manager George D. Steedle
said. The old well is 38 inches
deep, the same level as in the
Springs, which have dried up,
as has the creek. Engineers
estimate that the water table
here has gradually dropped
about 20 inches because of the
Jong drawn-out dry weather
which has prevailed over the
past few years. This year,
based on past records, the de­parture
from normal has been
11.24 inches, which means
that the entire county needs at
least 11 inches of rain to bring
the amount of precipitation up
to normal.
In Elizabeth township there
have been no reports officially
or unofficially of wells drying
up, William E. Hickman,
chairman of the supervisors
said.
In Warwick township there
have been a few wells around
Rothsville which have dried
up, according to reports.
Isaac H. Stoner, chairman of
the supervisors, said however,

Recipient Of
Citizen Award
State Urges
Caution To
Avert Fires
The Department of Forests
and Waters has issued an
urgent warning to the citizens
of the State to exercise ex­treme
caution in or near for-ess,
brush lands or grass fields.
Secretary Maurice K. God­dard
stated that the danger
of forest fire throughout the
State was very high and becom­ing
worse with each mild, dry
day that passes.
The drought which has been
building up since June, par­ticularly
in the eastern half
of the Commonwealth, has
now become statewide in terms
of forest fire danger. The
presence of thousands of small
game hunters in fields and
forests adds to the normal po­tential
for fires, particularly
on Saturdays, Goddard re­ported.
The Department’s Division of
Forest Protection reports in­dicate
that from Saturday, Oc-ober
31, the opening of the
small game season, there have
been more than 100 forest fires
in the State.
Secretary Goddard comment­ed
that the hunter-caused fires
were running well below the
level that had been anticipated
and expressed gratitude to the
sportsmen for their coopera­tion.
However, he added that
those which were being start­ed
by nimrods were generally
located in large inaccessible
areas, and that the problems
involved in getting men and
equipment to these fires were
costly and time-consuming. God­dard
again urged that those
enjoying the State’s excellent
hunting opportunities exercise
extreme caution .
Due to the severe condi­tions
now existing the Secre­tary
asked that the following
precautions be observed by all
citizens:
1. Do not smoke in or near
woods, brush lands or fields.
2. Do not burn any trash or
debris of any kind in the open
in or near forest or fields.

The General Sutter Hotel,
empty for nearly a year, is in
the process of being sold and
an oral agreement has been
reached between the parties
involved, according to Paul F.
Diehm, real estate agent.
He said the agreement will
be signed within ten days.
The purchaser is the “Gener­al
Sutter Hotel, Inc.,” a corpora­tion
to be formed, and for
whom Attorney Joseph J. Lom­bardo,
Lancaster, is acting. The
seller is the Lititz Community
Hotel Co., of which Dr. M. H.
Yoder is president and Roy
H. Wagner is secretary.
Squire Diehm quoted the new
owners as saying they hoped
to open before the end of the
year, and have set December
15 as the target date.
Extensive alterations and im­provements
are contemplated,
although they would be made
over a period of time, Diehm
said. They expect to refinish
all the bedrooms and add baths
where there are none; the
dining room will be completely
remodeled with wall-to-wall car­pet,
Diehm quoted them as
saying; also that the lobby will
be completely refinished and
a bar will be installed in the
west room which is now the
lounge. He further said the
new owners plan to install a
swimming pool 16 by 32 feet
on the west side under the
maple trees. The Hotel, he
said, will be open Sundays for
dining and every evening to
midnight for dining, and there
will be “b u s in e s sm e n 's
lunches.” The hotel will be
available for banquets and ser­vice
club meetings, as in the
past, he stated.
The hotel is one of the oldest
buildings in Lititz originally
having been the “Anker Inn,"
and later expanded. About 34
years ago the Lititz Communi­ty
Hotel Co. was formed, and
it was remodelled as it is to­day.
It closed last December when
Wagner, its manager, retired.
There have been numerous
offers for it, none accepted at
the time. It was offered at
public sale last June, but with­drawn
for insufficient bids.
Martin Chevrolet
Buys Pike Property
Martin Chevrolet, . Inc., has
purchased five acres of ground
and the buildings thereon along
Route 501 across from Stauff­er’s
Market, it was learned.
The property was purchased
from M. E. Snavely, Kissel
Hill, for an undisclosed sum,
Mervin Messick, of Martin
Chevrolet, said that all build­ings
will be torn down during
the winter to permit possible
future expansion.
