Later, Mrs. Sydney Brener, of Lancaster, long an official of the State PTA, took issue with them, saying, th a t the non-local dues of 15 cents a member would be raised to 2 0 cents for the sta te and fi've cents f'or n a tional, an d th a t ' anything over this charged by local PTA organizations would be for th e ir - own use.

Kaulflman, General Chairman. A to ta l of $6 7,000 has been subscribed to d a te with a number of cards still to be reported. “This means,” said Kaufman, " th a t we 'can begin working on building plans for both a new church and for an Education u n it.” If only the 46,0 0 0 goal had been attained, the church would have planned one of t'he two units, but not both. Cost of construction has not yet been, determined, but with nearly $60,000 subscribed, it will be possible to arrange financing of the total cost, Kaufman explained. The canvassing committee, the prayer vigil and special committees required the cooperation of about 70 members of the congregation. The canvass (began on Sunday, April ’- ^ f '' and—concluded 4he following Wednesday. Rev. Robert M. Myers, pastor of S’t. Luke’s, thanked the members for th e ir generous response. ■ 'Special . acknowledgement was made for th e financial support given by residents of the Community.

Warwick Residents Hear Of Water System Survey "Light-a-Bike" Project Postponed The “Light-A-Bike” project planned to r last Saturday by th e Veterans of Foreign Wars was postponed because of rain.

Residents of Warwick Township apparently were “all a t sea” when they attended a public meeting last week to discuss th e water situation in the township, called by the Citizens’ Water committee. Many thought because a majo rity of answers to a quesition-aire sent out recently were opposed to a municipal water supply, that settled the matter. But it was explained th a t this questionaire was only a “feele r ” and not binding in any way, and -that an engineering survey should be taken to determine the feasibility of a public water supply. Some felt th a t even the question of the feasability of a water study should be p u t on the ballot, but others fe lt th a t the township should look to th e future and be prepared if w ater difficulties arise. Numerous questions were answered in an attem p t to clarify the situation. Robert Gibble, Supervisor, said th a t the board is not advocating water for the entire township, and George Morgan, solicitor, said th a t the burden of -the cost would not fall on all the tax payers, b u t only on the property owners who would use a public water system. Charges could b;e made either on a front footage basis or on an assessment based on the added value a system would give to a particula r property. Joseph Suavely, chairman of th e township planning commission, cited th e continuing growth of the township, especially in th e Kissel Hill, Brunnerville and Rothsville areas, He said the school population growth a n d -the expansion of Warner-Lambert could be expected to keep the township growing. In 1965, he said, 128 plot plans for building lots had been submitted to the County Planning Commission, exceeded only by Manheim township with 200 plots and Lititz Borough with 132. . Donald Burr, Eastern Distric t Director of the American Water Works Company, pointed out th a t the need for community water systems deve-lopes when the density of population of a given area exceeds that of open farmland. He outlined the various ways of financing a system, which could be on a municipal basis, as an investor-owned sys-tem, through a public (authority or under various Federally-aided program. lit was indicated th a t more public meetings will be held as more information is gathered by th e Water Committee on th e subject. About 175 people attended last week’s meeting. PTA Plans Festival In Lititz Park L ititz . E lementary School PTA will hold its annual festival Saturday afternoon and evening-, M(ay 14, in Lititz Spring’s Park. The event is o-pen to the public and will include food, games, music and pony rides. Tickets may be obtained in advance from teachers by parents, -and for every $1 worth of tickets bought in advance, the child will receive a free 10Jcent ticket. These bonus tickets will not be available a t the park, and the advance sale will end Wednesday, M'ay 11. Among the food items will be 'Chicken corn soup, French fries and beef b a rb e cue. Home-made food donations promised so- fa r in c lu d e: 176 pies, 115 cakes, 203 dozen cutp cakes, 76 dozen red beet eggs, 68 q u a rts of pota to sfalad and 30 q u a rts of baked beans. Warbler Walk Planned By Bird Club The Lititz Bird Club will hold th e ir annual “Warbler Walk” on Sunday, May 8. The group will walk along Chiques Creek up the railroad tracks from Manheim to White Oak which is the Lititz Bird Club’s Sanctuary. Transportation will be provided from the Lititz Recreation Center a t 7 a.m. to Manheim. The trip will begi-n at 7:15 a.m. at the bridge of over Chiques Creek a t the southeast end of the Manheim Athletic field, and will last until about noontime. The public is welcome to participate. Bldg. Permits At $56,600 In Township Building permits with a total value of $56,600 were issued in Warwick township during April, according to Mrs. Ruth Wetzel, building perm it clerk. They are as follows: James B. Hess, Lititz Rl, chicken house, $20,000; Ranald and Judy Mentzer, E. Market St., Lititz, dwelling and beauty shop on Route 501 north of Zion Home, $18,500; Stauffer’s Market, Kissel Hill, addition for storage and work area, $15,000; Henry N. Eshleman, Lititz R4, addition to living quarters, $2,500; W. Scott Cummings, Lititz R4, garage, $600. Seeks Gifts For Vietnam Children Mrs. (Stephen Smith, 619 Kissel Hill Road, whose husband is 'an Airman second (class in the U. S. Air Force, Biloxi, Miss., is (collecting packages to be sent to children in Vietnam. She will forward the packages to a Lancaster man, Specialist 4 Reb'man, who is stationed with the 26th In fan try in Vietnam and who recently appealed fo r gifts. Clothing, s'oap and medical supplies are being sought. Couple Observes 25th Anniversary Mr. and Mr®. Normtì.n A; Johnson, of 206 New Haven Drive, Lititz, were honored a t a drop-in p a rty for approximately 5 0 guests, a t th e ir home S aturday evening. The p a rty was arranged by the couple’s two daughters: Sally, wife of Kenneth Shotz-berger, and Miss Susan Jo h n son, both of Lititz. T ie compie’» m a rriag e took place on April 26, 1941, with th e Rev. Elmer Y o d e r,, of Harrisburg, officiating. Property & Wage Tax Receipts Up For More Income A tentative budget of $2,078,- 175 was approved by the Warwick Union School district Tuesday night, and will come up for- final adoption June 7, a t 7 p.m. Although the budget is $167,- 360 greater than last year, it is based on the same tax rate, 56 mills. This is made possible because the mill in Warwick district for last year’s budget was worth only $12,800, whereas for this year its value is $13,400. The present ra te of 56 mills multiplied by the difference of $600 creates an increase of $33,600. This is made possible by increased assessments in the borough and townships brought about by new houses, businesses and improvements to existing businesses and in dustries, wage tax revenues are also higher. Last year’s budget o f $1,921,815 also'mark- ,ed an increase of $118,000 over the 1964-65 budget, and req u ired a nine mill increase. However, board members pointed out th a t in ord er to keep pace with the area's re quirements, the budgets will increase year a fte r year, and the board will have to meet the needs. G. Marlin Spaid, supervising principal, has forecast an additional 200 students by September, 1966, and this is by no means th e end. By 1970 it is anticipated th a t there will be 50 per cent more students than -there were in 1960. This means th a t the tax rate undoubtedly will have to rise in future yea-rs. The budget covers basic needs as well as quality improvements, the board statecL There are substantial salary in creases for teachers, a better group insurance plan, increases tor custodial personnel, new equipment requested by department heads, additional p ersonnel for guidance, library, health and maintenance. Teachers’ salaries and special services next year will rep resen t $1,098,819 of th e total budget. There is now a new salary schedule worked o u t in cooperation with the Warwick Education Association. This can be termed an “open top” schedule which provides that toe maximum a teacher can earn i-n the district is not limit ed to any scheduled amount. All salaries are based on experience, performance and self-improvement. The minimum sta rting salary to r a new teacher with a Bachelor’s degree is $4800. In other business the board; .Accepted the resignations of four teachers: Mrs. Karel Patchett, Mrs. Rebecca Sipe, elementary; Scott Garman, (Continued on Page 2) Fire Company Inaugurates Annual Drive For Funds The annual fund raising drive of the Li-titz Fire Company will get into full swing on Monday, May 9, when 0ver 3 0 volunteer firemen will begin soliciting industries, businesses and homes for cash (contributions. The (personal solicitation will continue until Saturday, June 4. This will be climaxed the following Saturday, June 11, with the annual Chicken Corn Soup festival a t the Fire Hall.

The group withdrew a month ago reportedly because they felt the national organization d id n ’t d'o enough for themi; a’nd because th e ir yea rly dues were raised from 26 cents to 4*5 cents per member. Later, Mrs. Sydney Brener, of Lancaster, long an official of the State PTA, took issue with them, saying, th a t the non-local dues of 15 cents a member would be raised to 2 0 cents for the sta te and fi've cents f'or n a tional, an d th a t ' anything over this charged by local PTA organizations would be for th e ir - own use.

Kaulflman, General Chairman. A to ta l of $6 7,000 has been subscribed to d a te with a number of cards still to be reported. “This means,” said Kaufman, " th a t we 'can begin working on building plans for both a new church and for an Education u n it.” If only the 46,0 0 0 goal had been attained, the church would have planned one of t'he two units, but not both. Cost of construction has not yet been, determined, but with nearly $60,000 subscribed, it will be possible to arrange financing of the total cost, Kaufman explained. The canvassing committee, the prayer vigil and special committees required the cooperation of about 70 members of the congregation. The canvass (began on Sunday, April ’- ^ f '' and—concluded 4he following Wednesday. Rev. Robert M. Myers, pastor of S’t. Luke’s, thanked the members for th e ir generous response. ■ 'Special . acknowledgement was made for th e financial support given by residents of the Community.

Warwick Residents Hear Of Water System Survey "Light-a-Bike" Project Postponed The “Light-A-Bike” project planned to r last Saturday by th e Veterans of Foreign Wars was postponed because of rain.

Residents of Warwick Township apparently were “all a t sea” when they attended a public meeting last week to discuss th e water situation in the township, called by the Citizens’ Water committee. Many thought because a majo rity of answers to a quesition-aire sent out recently were opposed to a municipal water supply, that settled the matter. But it was explained th a t this questionaire was only a “feele r ” and not binding in any way, and -that an engineering survey should be taken to determine the feasibility of a public water supply. Some felt th a t even the question of the feasability of a water study should be p u t on the ballot, but others fe lt th a t the township should look to th e future and be prepared if w ater difficulties arise. Numerous questions were answered in an attem p t to clarify the situation. Robert Gibble, Supervisor, said th a t the board is not advocating water for the entire township, and George Morgan, solicitor, said th a t the burden of -the cost would not fall on all the tax payers, b u t only on the property owners who would use a public water system. Charges could b;e made either on a front footage basis or on an assessment based on the added value a system would give to a particula r property. Joseph Suavely, chairman of th e township planning commission, cited th e continuing growth of the township, especially in th e Kissel Hill, Brunnerville and Rothsville areas, He said the school population growth a n d -the expansion of Warner-Lambert could be expected to keep the township growing. In 1965, he said, 128 plot plans for building lots had been submitted to the County Planning Commission, exceeded only by Manheim township with 200 plots and Lititz Borough with 132. . Donald Burr, Eastern Distric t Director of the American Water Works Company, pointed out th a t the need for community water systems deve-lopes when the density of population of a given area exceeds that of open farmland. He outlined the various ways of financing a system, which could be on a municipal basis, as an investor-owned sys-tem, through a public (authority or under various Federally-aided program. lit was indicated th a t more public meetings will be held as more information is gathered by th e Water Committee on th e subject. About 175 people attended last week’s meeting. PTA Plans Festival In Lititz Park L ititz . E lementary School PTA will hold its annual festival Saturday afternoon and evening-, M(ay 14, in Lititz Spring’s Park.

Warbler Walk Planned By Bird Club The Lititz Bird Club will hold th e ir annual “Warbler Walk” on Sunday, May 8. The group will walk along Chiques Creek up the railroad tracks from Manheim to White Oak which is the Lititz Bird Club’s Sanctuary. Transportation will be provided from the Lititz Recreation Center a t 7 a.m. to Manheim. The trip will begi-n at 7:15 a.m. at the bridge of over Chiques Creek a t the southeast end of the Manheim Athletic field, and will last until about noontime. The public is welcome to participate. Bldg. Permits At $56,600 In Township Building permits with a total value of $56,600 were issued in Warwick township during April, according to Mrs. Ruth Wetzel, building perm it clerk. They are as follows: James B. Hess, Lititz Rl, chicken house, $20,000; Ranald and Judy Mentzer, E. Market St., Lititz, dwelling and beauty shop on Route 501 north of Zion Home, $18,500; Stauffer’s Market, Kissel Hill, addition for storage and work area, $15,000; Henry N.

Seeks Gifts For Vietnam Children Mrs. (Stephen Smith, 619 Kissel Hill Road, whose husband is 'an Airman second (class in the U. S. Air Force, Biloxi, Miss., is (collecting packages to be sent to children in Vietnam. She will forward the packages to a Lancaster man, Specialist 4 Reb'man, who is stationed with the 26th In fan try in Vietnam and who recently appealed fo r gifts. Clothing, s'oap and medical supplies are being sought. Couple Observes 25th Anniversary Mr. and Mr®. Normtì.n A; Johnson, of 206 New Haven Drive, Lititz, were honored a t a drop-in p a rty for approximately 5 0 guests, a t th e ir home S aturday evening. The p a rty was arranged by the couple’s two daughters: Sally, wife of Kenneth Shotz-berger, and Miss Susan Jo h n son, both of Lititz. T ie compie’» m a rriag e took place on April 26, 1941, with th e Rev. Elmer Y o d e r,, of Harrisburg, officiating. Property & Wage Tax Receipts Up For More Income A tentative budget of $2,078,- 175 was approved by the Warwick Union School district Tuesday night, and will come up for- final adoption June 7, a t 7 p.m. Although the budget is $167,- 360 greater than last year, it is based on the same tax rate, 56 mills. This is made possible because the mill in Warwick district for last year’s budget was worth only $12,800, whereas for this year its value is $13,400. The present ra te of 56 mills multiplied by the difference of $600 creates an increase of $33,600. This is made possible by increased assessments in the borough and townships brought about by new houses, businesses and improvements to existing businesses and in dustries, wage tax revenues are also higher. Last year’s budget o f $1,921,815 also'mark- ,ed an increase of $118,000 over the 1964-65 budget, and req u ired a nine mill increase. However, board members pointed out th a t in ord er to keep pace with the area's re quirements, the budgets will increase year a fte r year, and the board will have to meet the needs. G. Marlin Spaid, supervising principal, has forecast an additional 200 students by September, 1966, and this is by no means th e end. By 1970 it is anticipated th a t there will be 50 per cent more students than -there were in 1960. This means th a t the tax rate undoubtedly will have to rise in future yea-rs. The budget covers basic needs as well as quality improvements, the board statecL There are substantial salary in creases for teachers, a better group insurance plan, increases tor custodial personnel, new equipment requested by department heads, additional p ersonnel for guidance, library, health and maintenance. Teachers’ salaries and special services next year will rep resen t $1,098,819 of th e total budget. There is now a new salary schedule worked o u t in cooperation with the Warwick Education Association. This can be termed an “open top” schedule which provides that toe maximum a teacher can earn i-n the district is not limit ed to any scheduled amount. All salaries are based on experience, performance and self-improvement. The minimum sta rting salary to r a new teacher with a Bachelor’s degree is $4800. In other business the board; .Accepted the resignations of four teachers: Mrs. Karel Patchett, Mrs. Rebecca Sipe, elementary; Scott Garman, (Continued on Page 2) Fire Company Inaugurates Annual Drive For Funds The annual fund raising drive of the Li-titz Fire Company will get into full swing on Monday, May 9, when 0ver 3 0 volunteer firemen will begin soliciting industries, businesses and homes for cash (contributions.
