The commission voted to employ the services of Henry F. Iluth Engineers, Inc., to develop the comprehensive planning program for the township, according to Joseph K. Snavely, commission chairman. The commission proposes to meet with Garth Bepker, community planner for the Huth organization, to set up its plan. The Planning Commission has employed Huth on consulting basis, Snavely said. The engineering firm will provide mapping service, general advice and guidance in the preparation of the plan itself. The Planning Commission will do most of the research work itself, and it is hoped that this method of operation will reduce costs to the township by two-thirds to one-half. Considerable work has already been done by the local Planning Commission by the collection of basic information. In addition, two maps have ialready been prepared and ac- Two Youths Jailed In Lieu Of Bail Two Lititz youths were jailed in lieu of bail and a third referred to county juvenile authorities following their arrest by State Police Monday on charges of two burglaries at Root’s Country Market and Auction and the theft of 300 gallons of gasoline from the Penn Township sheds. State Police said that one of the suspects, Warren L. Shirk, nineteen, 15 W. Maple St., Lititz, was held for a hearing on February 16, but had r.s money for bail so was committed to the county jail. They said Barry Gilbert Shoff, nineteen, 45 E. Main St., waived a hearing for court, but also was committed to jail in ab-j'senee of bail. The two were charged with burglary and larceny by State Troopers Vernon Meily and Joseph Mon-ville before Justice of the Peace Kathrn Clark, Greenfield Rd., Lancaster.

The new policeman will be on duty at various hours, sometimes after 9 p.m. The supervisors received the deed for about a quarter mile of streets in the Groff development at Rothsville, and they will now be maintained by the township. The next meeting will be held March 5, when the proposed budget will come up for adoption. cepted by the County Planning Commission — a base. map and a typographical map. I The next step, Snavely said, | will be the preparation of an existing land use map. The local commission has already mapped out all land uses in the township on a series of property maps, and these will now be checked for accuracy by physical inspection of the Township. The tentative work schedule calls for the completion of the comprehensive plan by Sept. 1, 1965, at which time the Planning 'Commission will immediately move into the, preparation of a zoning ordinance for Warwick Township, with the hope that this can be adopted no later than 'Sept. 1, 1966. 'It was noted that while the township supervisors in the 1964 budget had allocated $1,- 500 to the Planning Commission, $1,000 had been returned to the township treasury unexpended. Of the remaining $500, the total expenses for 1964 were only $96.29, leaving an unspent balance of $403.71 remaining in the Commission’s treasury for 1965 expenses. This, together with the $1,500 more allocated the commission in the 1965 budget, is expected to cover adequately the full cost of the comprehensive plan. In other business, it was announced that Edward Jones, chief sanitarian for the Lancaster office of the Pennsylvania Department of Sanitation, will attend the next meeting of the township planning Commission to discuss the need for a township sanitation ordinance. ¿School Board Condemns Kissel Hill Property Lititz Historians Buy Many Rare Antiques ART CONTEST WINNERS: Miss Barbara Wise, (left) president of the Lititz Woman’s Club, presents awards to winners of the senior Warwick High School art contest presented by the club.

Fire In Mailbox Amazes Passersby People walking down Main Street Monday afternoon were startled when they saw a mailbox making like a chimney— pouring forth a heavy column of smoke. An alarm was put in and two pieces of Lititz Fire Company equipment hurried to the scene to extinguish a blaze in the mail-box. Fire Chief Ammon Shelly said this was the first time he ever encountered such an unusual fire. He hazarded a guess that someone dropped in a cigarette butt instead of a letter. A bag of 'mail stored there and some letters were destroyed, Chief 'Shelly said. The firemen had to call a post office employe to open the box for them before they could put out the fire. Robert Sisk, postal inspector, and Police Chief George C. Hicks investigated and found that a juvenile from Rothsville was responsible. He will be referred to juvenile authorities, Hicks said.
