Sutter’s Gold Found In Secret Dungeon! ,S)t a r 11 i n ig new evidence came to light today to show that General John A. Sutter was anything but the impoverished, disappointed man he led people to believe even unto this day, nor did he come to Lititz to find a haven in Which to lick his wounds after the miseries of California. No indeed! History and tradition are shattered today by the revelation that he came to lititz to establish a secret hiding place to stash away millions of dollars worth of gold! This hiding place was in a dungeon in the basement of the hotel that now bears his: name. Renovations at the hotel today brought to light a passageway in the basement which on further exploration is found to lead steeply downward, opening into a huge cave or dungeon. More amazing, after scraping away the dirt of decades, workmen, in the light of flickering torches, found Sutter’s gold — bars and ingots of it, bagis of it, nu-ggets of it, baubles and bangles of it. Imimediately, the cave was sealed off from the public and guards placed on duty while officers of the two banks here are down there counting the loot 24 hours a day.

Curtis Amidon, 582 Front St., Lititz, won first prize in all three flower arrangement competitions at the “Creative Woman’s Day” program held last Saturday by the Lancaster County Federation of Women’s Club. The arrangements were on the themes, “Coming of Spring,” “Your -Choice,” and “Beauty of Spring.” ‘Mrs. Richard Allebach, Lititz, was third prize winner in the first category, and Mrs. Ben Lea-man, Lititz, received honorable mention in the second grouping. Mrs. Amidon used unusual materials for her arrangements, such as Chinese cabbage and spinach, rarely found in floral bouquets. She, is shown mirrored in the accompanying photograph with her arrangement for “Beauty of Spring.” It consists of a witch hazel branch, Chinese cabbage, chartreuse moss aftd driftwood. Her arrangement for “Your Choice” was unique in that one of the components was a olear-toy horse made by Charles Regannas in 1963, which was originally red and has weathered Mrs. Amidon and floral arrangement to a soft pink. It was combined with Japónica branches, spinach and white crocuses. As part of the day-long program, members of the Lititz Woman’s Club presented the play, “The Amazing Arabella.” To Register New Pupils In April Registration for children who will enter the first grades of the Warwick School District next fall, but who are not attending kindergarten at present, and for pupils who will enter kindergarten next fall, will be held late in April.

Tabulation reveals a prospective list (for some congregations larger than their present membership. The prospective list totals 3,338 families as compared to a total of 2,226 united families claiming membership in the twenty congregations. This startling picture is temJpered by the fact tha-t the prospective list includes “split” families, where a husband or wife already belongs to a local congregation but the other spouse belongs to a different congregation and the spouse is a prospect. A duplicate card has been given to the pastors of both congregations involved. 'The prospect list also includes families who belong to congregations outside the Warwick area. These cards have been given to pastors of the same denomination in the local area. The list also includes (Continued on Page 2) Advise Filling Spaces Around Main St. Trees The Lititz Shade Tree Commission has recommended to Borough Council that it partially close the “wells,” or open spaces around the young trees on East Main St. Members of the commission, which consists of Hiram M. Etoerly, William Light and Edward Bear, said that not only are the “wells” pedestrian hazards, but are not necessary for the growth of the trees. They pointed out that one of the local banks has bricked in the spaces around their trees. In this way, as the trees grow and need more space, brides can be removed. Because the spaces will be smaller, the Girl Scouts will have flowers ‘left over for planting, thus will be able to plant the areas in the second block of East Main. They have already ordered their flowers. Branches from the East Main Street trees will be removed this summer in order to afford more head-room. The commission recommended that the same species of tree, Scanlon’s red maple, be planted along North (Street after it is reconstructed. They are raised especially for city use, growing only to a maximum of 35 feet, and having roots which don’t disturb the pavement or sewerage system.

Both officials stressed that the recommendation of a time limitation on minors under the age of eighteen was not meant to put an unnecessary hardship on local young people, hut mainly to control those “outsiders” and a few local teens who are “trouble makers". A curfew ordinance would regulate the presence of putt’ ors under the age of eighteen in public places and private establishments in the borough between certain hours. The suggestion met mixed reaction among council members. Griswold stated that Man-heim Twp., Ephrata, Lancaster City and Manheim all have adopted curfews and have found them effective. Re said that some delinquents now come to Lititz because it has no curfew. Police Chief Hicks displayed before an amazed council weapons that had been taken from teenagers in Lititz in recent months. They included a 32 caliber pistol, brass knuckles and a switch blade knife with about a six inch blade. Hicks reviewed the cases of a few juveniles to stress the need for more ways to combat teenagers who give local police anxious moments. He said other communities with curfews have found it does not put an undue hardship on young people and that the ordinance itself could allow for exceptions to the time limitation for legitimate functions, such as rec dances, etc. He said the “great majority of the “kids” are good, “but we must control those few that are not”. Police Chief Hicks stated yesterday that he would be available to any group or meeting that would like tp have more information and an explanation of the proposed curfew. He urged local civic clubs, etc. to contact him. Griswold stated he had talked to school officials and guidance counselors including Supervising Principal Marlin Spaid and High School Principal Harold Swisher and they were in favor of a curfew. He stressed it is primarily to protect the many, many good (Continued on Page 2) , receive religious education, in accordance with their religious faith fo-r -not more than one hour a week, subject, however, to such condi tionls and the keeping of such records of attendance at such classes and other records for the inspection of school authorities as the board shall deem proper.

The prospective list totals 3,338 families as compared to a total of 2,226 united families claiming membership in the twenty congregations.

Etoerly, William Light and Edward Bear, said that not only are the “wells” pedestrian hazards, but are not necessary for the growth of the trees. They pointed out that one of the local banks has bricked in the spaces around their trees. In this way, as the trees grow and need more space, brides can be removed. Because the spaces will be smaller, the Girl Scouts will have flowers ‘left over for planting, thus will be able to plant the areas in the second block of East Main. They have already ordered their flowers. Branches from the East Main Street trees will be removed this summer in order to afford more head-room. The commission recommended that the same species of tree, Scanlon’s red maple, be planted along North (Street after it is reconstructed. They are raised especially for city use, growing only to a maximum of 35 feet, and having roots which don’t disturb the pavement or sewerage system.

Both officials stressed that the recommendation of a time limitation on minors under the age of eighteen was not meant to put an unnecessary hardship on local young people, hut mainly to control those “outsiders” and a few local teens who are “trouble makers". A curfew ordinance would regulate the presence of putt’ ors under the age of eighteen in public places and private establishments in the borough between certain hours. The suggestion met mixed reaction among council members. Griswold stated that Man-heim Twp., Ephrata, Lancaster City and Manheim all have adopted curfews and have found them effective. Re said that some delinquents now come to Lititz because it has no curfew. Police Chief Hicks displayed before an amazed council weapons that had been taken from teenagers in Lititz in recent months. They included a 32 caliber pistol, brass knuckles and a switch blade knife with about a six inch blade. Hicks reviewed the cases of a few juveniles to stress the need for more ways to combat teenagers who give local police anxious moments. He said other communities with curfews have found it does not put an undue hardship on young people and that the ordinance itself could allow for exceptions to the time limitation for legitimate functions, such as rec dances, etc. He said the “great majority of the “kids” are good, “but we must control those few that are not”. Police Chief Hicks stated yesterday that he would be available to any group or meeting that would like tp have more information and an explanation of the proposed curfew. He urged local civic clubs, etc. to contact him. Griswold stated he had talked to school officials and guidance counselors including Supervising Principal Marlin Spaid and High School Principal Harold Swisher and they were in favor of a curfew. He stressed it is primarily to protect the many, many good (Continued on Page 2) , receive religious education, in accordance with their religious faith fo-r -not more than one hour a week, subject, however, to such condi tionls and the keeping of such records of attendance at such classes and other records for the inspection of school authorities as the board shall deem proper.
