Many Bargains Offered
For Lititz Red Tag Days
Red Tag days will be celebrated by Lititz
merchants today, tomorrow and Saturday, with
numerous choice bargains in all the stores partici­pating.
The borough is cooperating by providing
shoppers with free parking. All meters will be
bagged to indicate that you may park without
charge. So wherever you see a brown paper bag
over a parking meter, drive up quickly and leave
your car as long as you like.
The Record-Express again is publishing a
< special tabloid seltion, listing the bargains, and
} convenient to carry with you when you go shopp­ing.
It’s a good idea to go through the tabloid in
advance, marking the items that interest you, and
then taking the paper with you.
Many stores will be open until 9 p.m. tonight
and all stores will be open until 9 p.m. tomorrow
night, and on Saturday until 5:30.
The stores cooperating will fly red and white
banners in their windows to signify they are tak­ing
part in Red Tag Dq^s.

New State Liquor Store Planned
For Lititz Due To Increased Sales
The Pennsylvania Liquor
Control Board has announced
plans -for a new state store
to be constructed in Lititz
Borough.
The present store located
on E. Main St. will be closed,
and the new store will be
built in the 700 block of S.
Broad St. by Abraham L. and
Mary A. Miller. It is propos­ed
to be situated on the east
side of the street near Mil­ler’s
home and service station.
Miller told The Record
that at this moment he has no
contract with the state for the
proposed store, tout that as
soon as such a contract is
forthcoming and approved he
will begin construction.
Miller said further that the
state wants approximately 2100
square feet of store space. He
plans to put up a building that
will measure 80-90 feet long
by about 30 feet wide. He also
plans to live in one apartment
which will be located above the
store. Although final plans are
not completed, Miller will
build to whatever specifications
the state stipulates, and will
probably employ a local con­tractor.
The volume of business
done through the Lititz store
since 1956 has reportedly in­creased
iby about $50,000, and
this is given as indication of
needed expansion and mod­ernization.

accident and fatality experi­ence.

No Burglary
Intended
That burglar alarm that
¡Borough residents may have
heard at about 8:55 p.m. Tues­day,
was a quirk in the elec­tric
hookup rather than a
crook in the store. Police
Chief Hicks reported that it
was a newly-installed alarm
system at Armold’s Jewelry
Store on E. Main St.
The Chief recalled a sim­ilar
false alarm in the newly-installed
system at Dull’s
Jewelry Store on July 16.
Apparently these systems
are ready, able, and impatient
to do their duty. Burglars
beKvare!
Area Girl Scouts
Return From
Roundup Trip
by Charlotte Houchin
Reluctantly the four girls
waved their final goodbyes to
their friends acquired at the
1965 Girl Scout (Senior Round­up.
Joanne 'Eshelman, Char­lotte
Houchin, JoBeth Long,
and Brenda Weik, four local
delegates to the Roundup,
stole final glances at the
5,000-acre campsite which had
been their home from July
15th to July 27th.
They boarded their East-bound
train at Athol, Idaho,
and began their four-day
journey home. Enroute, they
spent a day in Chicago sight­seeing
and shopping. When
they returned to the station
that evening, they carried
quite a few extra packages.
Their train rolled into the
Lancaster station at 11:50
am. on Friday, July 30th.
Parents, families, and friends
welcomed the girls whom
they had not seen for almost
three weeks.
The girls agreed it was
good to be home and all
four will cherish their mem;
ories of Roundup for the rest
of their lives.

Damage Control
In Park Sought
By Trustees
Park trustees sought a solu­tion
to destruction of children’s
swings in a special meeting
Tuesday night.
Older children have been
breaking swings, according to
the trustees who deliberated
three possible solutions:
—Lititz Police could walk
through the park instead of
driving, thus more effectively
preventing damage by young
persons.
—Park trustees could patrol
and make citizens’ arrests.
—Letters could be sent to
parents of children caught or
identified while defacing park
facilities.
Lititz Springs Park will hold
a chicken barbecue Saturday,
Sept. 4. Tickets will be sold in
advance at booths at the en­trance
to the park and else­where
in southern Lititz. Elmer
Bomberger and Fred Hall are
co-chairmen of the event.
HOSTESS AND GUEST pose together amid the
greenery of the Kenda'le Nursery. Mr. and Mrs. John
B. Kendig of Lititz have Miss Kongkeo Yotaprasert,
an exchange student from Thailand, visiting in their
home this week. She will stay at two other Lititz
homes in the next few weeks, then return for a final
week with Mr. and Mrs. John Hershey, in whose home
she began her visit in Lititz.

Under Exchange Program
Bible Class To
Hold A “Dime A
Dip Dinner”
The Adult Bible ‘Class of
St. Luke’s United Church of
Christ will hold a “Dime-A-Dip-
Dinner” on Saturday, Aug­ust
28th from 4 to 8 p.m. in
the picnic Grove at the rear
of the Church. This land
was recently purchased by
the Church and the proceeds
from the dinner will he used
toward the payment.
The dinner is open to the
public and the menu will in­clude,
hot dogs with rolls
and sauer kraut, ¡barbecue,
buns, ham, (bread and Ibutter,
pickled eggs, potato salad,
baked beans, corn on the cob,
green beans and ham, tossed
salad, apple sauce, peaches
and ice cream.
There will also toe a table
with home-baked goods. The
rain date is Monday, August
30th from 4 to 8 p.m.
“Kongeo Yotaprasert is her
name, but we call her
‘Kong’ ”, said her hostess,
Mrs. John B. Kendig, Jr. as
she introduced us to the
charming young woman from
far away Thailand who is
visiting Lititz this summer as
part of the exchange program
of the “Experiment in Inter­national
Living”.. .
If Kong is welcomed in
other Lititz households as
warmly as she has been at
the Kendig’s, her stay in our
country is bound to be a suc­cess.
For in spite of their
brief acquaintance, Mrs. Helen
Kendig and Kong seem to
have developed a genuine af­fection
for each other.
Kong’s stay in town is un­der
the sponsorship of the
Lititz Rotary Cluto. According
to John Hershey, chairman of
Rotary’s student committee,
this is the seventh summer
the Cluto has sponsored an in­ternational
exchange student.
Kong roughed the great
American conscience just a
little, and quite unintention­ally,
I’m sure, when she said
that “We Thai people know
so much about American
people, but Americans know
so little about us.” Amen.
illln one short sentence she
summed up the reason for a
large part of the international
misunderstanding with which
Americans look at the rest of
the world through our Ameri­can-
colored glasses. This too
is changing, and exchange
students like Kong will do
much to hasten the change.
But why does she know so
much about America? Be­cause,
she says, our two coun­tries
have ¡been linked since
about 1832, at which time the
frist commercial treaty ‘be­tween
Asia and 'western coun­tries
was signed by our re­spective
countries. And in
their schools, English is the
second language — as it is
in India, and many other
parts of the world.
Thailand, Kong said, is a
nation that lives at peace
with its neighbors. It is
open to all visitors. The na­tional
religion is Buddhism,
and about 96 percent of Thais
adhere to this creed. “Religion
is basic to the life, art, and
attitudes of all Thai people,”
Kong related It is expressed
also in the Thai classical
dance, which Kong aptly
demonstrated at the Rotary

1965 To-Date,
Nearly Triple
Same Period *64
New building construction in
Lititz Borough appears to be
in a period of sustained grow­th.
Each month’s report from
the Borough Office shows a
drastic increase in building
permits issued. In June, a
226 percent jump over June
of 1964 appeared. This push­ed
the cumulative total for
1965 up 46 percent over 1964.
Now, a preview of July’s fi­gures
suggests that in that
month alone $1,894,160 worth
of building was okayed!
What does that do to the
cumulative 1965 totals? It just
about triples them to-date —
2.8 times as great as in the
first seven months of 1964, to
be exact.
The builder responsible for
tfe Sutter Village develop­ment,
Alan Goberman, claims
that he has put up 150 houses
in that area since June of
1964. He values these proper­ties
at about $2.2 million.
Goberman is now starting on
the fourth section of houses in
Sutter Village, which will con­tain
another 74 units. He feels
there is a good future in Lititz
for building, and states that,
since a shopping center usually,
can be supported by 300
homes, one may need to be
considered within two years.
All this talk about apparent
growth is Important for two
reasons:
/
1— It indicates that Lititz has
a definite future, and people
seem to want to live here;
2— While it is cause for en­couragement,
it is also cause
for concern.
Concern, because people
mean services, and services
mean taxes. An influx of em­ployed
people into, an area the
size of Lititz Borough brings
stimulation to the local econo­my.
But people have children,
and children need schools. Peo­ple
require water and sewage;
those facilities — already over­burdened
— must keep up with
the times.
So, growth is not without its
problems, but a constant aware­ness
of those problems can con­vert
this new growth to a real
asset for Lititz.
