Chief of Police George C.

s a re taking advantage of
the ’holiday season to do
th e i r own “Chris tmas shop­ping”—
in somebody else’s
home.
To discourage visits by
burgla r s when householders
a re away, Chief Hicks made
the following suggestions:
Cancel all daily deliveries.
Have a light tu rn ed on by
a neighbor or a timing de­vice.
Ask the Pos t Office to hold
the mail.
Stop newspaper deliveries.
Make sure the house is se­curely
locked.
Notify the Police d e p a r t ­ment
of the dates of d e p a r t ­ure
and re tu rn .
Christmas is bursting out all
over in Lititz as the Thanks­giving
holiday draws to a close
and the Yuletide season be­gins.
Stores for some weeks have
had colorful Christmas decora­tions
and cards in their win­dows,
and starting as of now
are brimming over with good
and lovely things to make
everyone’s Christmas a merry
one.
Toy store windows are great
for flattening one’s n o s e
against, if you’re young
enough, and eager eyes can
catch fascinating glimpses of
wondrous new toys this year.
Seems as though the toy manu­facturers
have outdone them­selves
once more in creating
fascinating new playthings.
And as for dolls — they’re
more appealing than ever —

Not Liable
Under Law
While the county election

20 more votes to Republican
John A. Wenger, school d i ­rector,
th an he really had,
the question still to be re ­solved
is what will be done
about the Votes th a t were
cast while the n ame of the

S. Ebbert, was missing from
the machine.
After a conference Monday
when, the defective F i r s t Wa rd
voting machine was inspect­ed,
Election Board Chairman
Ar th u r R. Campbell J r ., said
a ruling will be made by th e
solicitor.
The solicitor la te r ru led
the election code s ta te s th a t :
the function of a county re ­tu
rn (election) hoard is to
count the vote, not to d e t e r ­mine
the qualifications of
electors or to exclude a poll
because of defects in the elec­tion
machinery. These a r e
ma t te r s which can only be
determined uipo-n in an elec­tion
conte s t.”
It also goes on to say th a t
a contes ted election is a
court proceeding, an d th a t
the court is the only body
th a t can set aside an elec­tion
for reason of e r ro r or
fraud.
This means th a t if Efbbert
chooses to contes t the re su lt
he would have to tak e i t to
court and would have to file
