However, in some outlying sections, snow was unofficial- ’ estimated at more than 10 ...ches. The area was fortunate in that there was little, if any, drifting, and by Monday morning all streets in the borough and roads in the townships were open. By Monday there was some melting on the sunny side of the streets. The biggest hazard around 8 a.m. Monday was a heavy white fog which blanketed the areas outside the borough. This made driving on the Lititz Pike fraught with danger, but as far as is known, there were no accidents. Some spots were icy, but places such as Kissel Hill had been cindered. It was not necessary to close schools, and all rural PLCB Controls Fate Of Hotel The final sale of the General Sutter Hotel is subject to obtaining a hotel liquor license, it was confirmed by a spokesman for the group of business and professional men who are negotiating for its purchase. The spokesman said that the license was applied for promptly, but as yet has not been received. For this reason, he said, the time for the settlement has been extended until such time as the license is granted by the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board. This is the reason for the delay in announcing plans to open the hotel. If the license is not granted, there will be no sale of the hotel, it was confirmed by the spokesman. This means that it then would revert to the Lititz Community Hotel Corporation, which has owned it for more than 30 years. It was closed a little more than a year ago. postal routes were reported open Monday morning. Elizabeth township plowed all its roads on Sunday, and went over them again on Monday, insuring that they would be open. Borough streets were pretty well cleared by Monday afternoon but as of Monday evening, the Municipal parking lot had not been plowed. Police Chief George C. Hicks reminded property owners that they are responsible for removing snow from their sidewalks, and asked this be kept in mind for any future snow storms. Help Mail Get Through Postmaster Richard C. Rader appealed to customers on rural mail routes to help their rural carriers make mail deliveries during bad winter weather. He emphasized that the Lititz Post Office has four rural routes, covering a total of 200 miles of road from Neffsville to Hopeland and from Lincoln to Elm. Postmaster Rader asked rural customers to observe the following rules: approaches to mail boxes must be kept open by customers; obstructions to delivery of mail on rural routes should be removed or minimized to the fullest extent possible. He said the carriers may leave a notice to keep box approaches clear, and if they are not kept clear, it may be necessary to withhold delivery of mail temporarily. Rural carriers are not required to perform service on foot when roads cannot be traveled with the vehicles normally used, but they are expected to make every reasonable effort to serve as many of their patrons as possible without physical exertion or added financial cost, Rader explained. If excessive detours are necessary to effect delivery of mail, 'customers should temporarily relocate their boxes on the new line of travel, arrange to receive their mail through other patrons’ boxes, or make other arrangements (Continued on Page 2) ^orm “Committee Of 100’ To Push Toll-Frèe Calls A “Committee of 100” has been formed here in an - effort to get local residents to reconsider toll-free telephone calls to Lancaster. A few months ago the proposal lost out when a majority of telephone subscribers failed to return cards to the Denver and Epihrata Telephone Co., and every card returned was counted as a “no” vote. Heading the committee are Dr. Byron K. Horne, chairman; Don Kepner, publicity chairman, and Mrs. Robert Trainer, secretary. In a statement issued by the committee they said: “Unlike any other voting procedure and voting privilege that a democracy affords, the passive citizen who either dn’t care or who couldn’t „e bothered—his do-nothing vote had to be counted as a no vote against the toll-free service.” The committee said, “ft is quite obvious” that the Denver and Ephrata Telephone Company would stand to lose toll revenue amounting to $1,200 a month, plus the ex- School Menu Monday Spaghetti & meat sauce, chef salad, hard roll, peaches.

They stated the D&E js 100 per cent in favor of the toll-free service, in view of the fact that future demands will require it, and the company prefers to face the issue now rather than wait. They added. the company can increase their rates slightly, which, they said, would help the company cause. “A committee of 100 local people are not taking this undemocratic voting method sitting down, nor can we comprehend that the majority of our people do not want this extended service,” their statement said. The committee said that rates would be increased by 65 cents to $1, with the largest increase affecting those with private lines. At the present time, the “626” exchange provides a toll-free calling area of 14,600 D&E customers, and the extended service would provide 52,300 toll-free calling customers, the committee said, pointing out that this is an increase of three and a half times as many people that Lititz subscribers could call, and the same number who could call here. These would include industry, medical units, schools, business, as well as individuals. The committee went on record as saying that “we cannot pursue an isolationist attitude and still maintain our initiative. We feel we are a progressive and an industrious people. We maintain this is a small price to pay to gain better real estate values and open up our area even further by removing the toll this short-distance. We strongly believe, too, that by this organized manner, we will get the job done.” 19S5Imporlant Election Year For Local Offices Bobst Gifts To Center Now Total $124,000 The sum of $22,500 has been | school board, and one from SNOW, ICE AND FOG may be a pain in the neck to many adults, but not so for these young ones who think it’s all fun.

With the exceptional growth the bank experienced this past year, it was not possible to create the necessary capital increase from earnings. The number and size of larger borrowers who do business with the bank is increasing. There is more and more demand for large-sized loans. The new capital structure, combined with the transfer of $200,000 to surplus last year end will increase by 50 per cent the maximum loan the bank is permitted to make. ¡In addition, many good customers would ¡like to buy stock in the bank. The greater number of shares will make it possible for more '-people to acquire an interest in the bank. Approved also was an amendment for changing the date of the annual meeting.

The election year of 1965 is an important one for small municipalities, such as boroughs, and townships, and school boards, because many officials’ terms expire. Here in the Lititz area, elections will be held for Mayor, councilmen, borough auditors, township supervisors, township auditors, school tax collector, justices of the peace in the townships, and election board officials. Although election day seems a long way off, the first day for filing petitions for election or reelection is February 8, only three short weeks. In the borough, the term of Mayor Arthur S. Griswold, M.D., expires. At the close of ,1965 he will have served one four-year term, and has indicated unofficially that he will not be up for reelection. The terms of Councilmen D. Curtis Amidon, who is president of borough council, Floyd Hagy and M. C. Demmy also will expire the end of this year. Amidon will be completing six years on borough council. He was elected in 1959 for a regular four year term, and took office January 1960. He was again elected in November 1963 for a two-year term, which will run until the end of 1965. The two-year term was made necessary because an additional ward was formed in Lititz, so the two from the second ward were given staggered terms, Amidon being one of them. He said this week he plans to run again. This time his term will rut) for the normal four years. Hagy took office January 1, 1962 for his first four-year term which will expire the end of 1965.
