Ail properties are in Warwick township. The Fire department filled seven cisterns on Tuesday, | providing each with an aver- I age of 5.000 gallons of water, I according to Paul E. Diehm, I assistant Fire Chief who was in charge in the absence of vacationing Chief Ammon Shelly. Four or five other property owners also were banding together to have the Fire company fill their cisterns too, all at the same time. The water comes from a borough supply and was obtained from hydrants in the Kissel Hill area which were installed last year, so that the fire engines didn't have to come into town to load. However, supplying the water to the township properties is an emergency measure, Diehm said, and the owners will be charged - by • -thee bor-ough-.—-i*~- Diehm estimated the supply would .last • the«4>«»pl^ -about a month, if it doesn’t rain in the meantime. In that case the cisterns would have .to be filled again. He emphasized that the water is just for washing, and that drinking water must be obtained elsewhere. ! A few months ago a water committee was formed in Warwick Township which sent out questionaires concerning the possibility of a municipal water supply in the township. The committee recognizes the present and future needs for a reliable source of water. However, most of the property owners frowned on a public water supply.

Bobst awards, $500, presented Saturday night at the Warwick Union Alumni Assn, banquet.

Oak St., Lititz. Miss Nauman also received the Alumni Student award of a $25 savings bond. The awards were based on observation by teachers from ninth to-twelfth grades. Qualifications considered were courtesy, dependability, initiative, honesty, tolerance, leadership, punctuality, self-control, and appreciation of teachers. Scout I Dawn Ketterman leaders, ministers, 4-H leaders, youth fellowship leaders, Sunday School leaders and era ployers were also consulted.

There will be 22 children ill the group, some of whom will stay for two weeks and others for longer periods, including the entire summer.

Those wishing to entertain children may call Mrs. Brubaker, 626-6253, or her committee, Mrs. Amos . Cassel, Mrs. Eli Martin, Mrs. Clair Zug and Mrs. Lloyd Martin. Prospects Look Good For New Borough Water Weil drillers started pumping for a new water supply for the borough on Monday at 9:30 a.m., and pumped continuously until the middle of Wednesday morning, according to Borough Manager George Dl Steedle. The new supply is located on the former Yerger property on Locust off Front Street, The ilow was 614 gallons a minute, Steedle said. Tuesday afternoon the engineer took samples, and the health department took samples Wednesday. It is the approval of the latter that the borough is awaiting most eagerly, as their permit is required before the borough can use the water as a municipal supply, Steedle said. "However, there is every indication that we will have a good well.” he said. Fire Co.

Ail properties are in Warwick township. The Fire department filled seven cisterns on Tuesday, | providing each with an aver- I age of 5.000 gallons of water, I according to Paul E. Diehm, I assistant Fire Chief who was in charge in the absence of vacationing Chief Ammon Shelly. Four or five other property owners also were banding together to have the Fire company fill their cisterns too, all at the same time. The water comes from a borough supply and was obtained from hydrants in the Kissel Hill area which were installed last year, so that the fire engines didn't have to come into town to load. However, supplying the water to the township properties is an emergency measure, Diehm said, and the owners will be charged - by • -thee bor-ough-.—-i*~- Diehm estimated the supply would .last • the«4>«»pl^ -about a month, if it doesn’t rain in the meantime. In that case the cisterns would have .to be filled again. He emphasized that the water is just for washing, and that drinking water must be obtained elsewhere. !
