"ISA "* 90th Y e a r The Lititz Record - Express Serving The Warwick Union Area For Nearly A Century E s ta b lis h e d A p ril, 1877. a s T h e S u n b e am (C o n so lid a te d w ith T h e L ititz R e co rd , 1937) Lititz, Lancaster Co., Pa. 17543, Thursday, July 28, 1966 7 c e n ts a Copy; $3.00 p e r y e a r by m a ll w ith in L a n c a s te r C o u n ty 12 Pages No. 16 Pleads Guilty To Violation Of Junk Law Herbert Shue, Lititz R4, pleaded guilty to charges of failure to pay an annual license fee of $25 for his junkyard in Warwick township at a hearing July 20 before Justice of the Peace Jay Lowell Forney, Rothsville. He paid a fine of $100 and costs. Chester K. Long, Akron, charged with a similar offense, was given a hearing on July 21 before Squire Forney, but the case was continued to October 31 at the request of his attorney. Prosecution was brought against the two men by Constable Eugene P. May, of Warwick township. The ordinance requires that owners of junkyards pay an annual license fee of $25, and it was claimed that both men failed to do so. HOME AGAIN AFTER LONG WALK: These boy scouts shown above participated in a 60-mile hike during their recent trip to Phiimont Scout Ranch, Cimarron, New Mex. Left to right, Eagle Scout Ronald Miller; Life Scouts Gregory Balmer, Dennis Brown and Jere Eshelman, and Eagle Scout John Spahr, all of Boy Scout Troop 42. Warwick Lions See Polo Film No Need To Restrict Water, Boio Says There is no cause for concern over the borough’s water supply, ■ Lititz Borough Manager Géorge D. Steedle said this week. This means there is no need for' curtailment of water beyond the normal use although, f course, users are supposed to conserve water during these dry times and not waste it. The three deep wells in Lititz Springs Park show a total water1 depth of 96 feet, Steedle said. The lowest mark in 1966 was on February 8; 1966, when there was 75 feet of water. This rose to a maximum of 101 feet on March 22, since when the level has dropped to the present mark. This means there is still 21 feet to go before the low for the year is, equalled. Water depths in the three wells are 88 feet, 67 feet, and 119 feet. ’ The shallow ,hand-dug well, kriowh as Well No. 1, had 26 inches of water in it Monday as compared with 36 inches on tïié same date last year; In 1965, the well dropped to 26 inches about a week and a half later than 1966 or around August 5, 1965. , Meanwhile, the proposed new well at the east end of the borough will undergo a 30-day test to ascertain its qualifications as a water supply. • Rain still continued to be practically non-existent. The new rain gauge at the Water department showed only .5 inch of rain for the week ending July 26, which included a brief thunderstorm last week, and only .06 inch for the week previous. Woman Recovering From Freak Mishap Mrs. Ruth Houck, thirty-six, 9 Spring Ave., Lititz, injured when struck in the face by a surfboard, was reported in Satisfactory condition at General Hospital. Mrs. Houck was swimming in the Indian River Inlet recently; when another swimmer reportedly fell from a surfboard and she was struck by the board. Local Boy Scouts Hike 60 Miles At Phiimont A sixty-mile hike across the north and south country area, of the Phiimont Scout Ranch at Cimarron, New Mex., was one of the activities at the Ranch in which five members of Boy Scout Troop 42 of Lititz participated during their camping period there. The local boys, who returned last week, included Eagle Scouts Ronald Miller and John Spahr, and Life Scouts Gregory Balmer, Dennis Brown, and Jere Eshelman. They were accompanied by William Lit-zenberger of the Lancaster County Boy Scout Council, as Scout leader. “Rough, rugged and strenuous” were the terms used by the scouts in describing life along the trail. The scouts received various instructions from the ranger before they began their hike. Each scout was required to carry all his gear in his pack which weighed about 40 pounds. - There was quite, a noticeable difference in the climate and topography. T em p e r a tu r e s ranged as high as 110 degrees during the day. Inclement weather previaled during most of the afternoons. An inspiring view was observed at Baldy Mountain where the elevation rose to 12,441 feet above sea level. This spot is well above the tree line and the boys experienced some difficulty in breathing. Numerous trails branched off the main jeep trail. Miller, Spahr and Balmer took the “Tooth of Time” trail and Eshelman and Brown went on the Buffalo Pasture” trail. The scouts observed many kinds of wild life such -as: chipmunks, ground squirrels, birds, deer, beavers, buffalo, antelopes and bears. A bear disrupted camp one night because the food hadn’t been stowed away high enough. As a matter of fact, it was discovered that bears have a yen for toothpaste, and it had to be put outside the tent with the food, or else the' lumbering beasts would have come right into the tents for it. At that, the boys say, enough bears have been • able to steal toothpaste that it might be said they have “thirty per cent fewer cavities.” Deer came within 25 to 50 feet of the tents during the night. The boys, enjoyed fishin g— they caught about 30 to 35 rainbow trout among them. The scouts stated that the food was dehydrated. Every three days the food supply was replenished . at pick-up stat-tions along the trail. The food when prepared properly proved- to he quite tasty.’ Miller served as the mess group leader. It might be added here that upon check-up before leaving camp, no one had lost weight and some as a matter of fact had gained a few pounds. Souvenirs brought home with the scouts included: deer racks, teeth and . vertebrae, neckerchief slides, maps, belts, jackets, Phiimont patches and most naturally, “gold”. Pictures were also taken and will be shown to the troop: . Each scout stated that the trip to Phiimont was a most rewarding experience and recommend such a trip to other scouts.

David Buckwalter, president, presided at the meeting. David Fetter, Lexington, was inducted into the organization by Martin Sheaffer, Cabinet Secretary-Treasurer of District 14D. Two members of the West Eari Lions Club attended the meeting. A picnic for Warwick Lion members and their families will be held August 9 at 6:30 p.m. at the Memorial Hall area. Chester Shirk and Daniel Marks Jr. are in charge of the picnic arrangements. Plans are being made by the Lions to attend a baseball game at Baltimore and to sponsor a chicken barbecue in the fall.

Dinner- at the Timbers at 6:30 p.m. is optional. Two Accidents Happen At Same Time In Boro Two accidents occurred in the borough at practically the same time Sunday evening, keeping police on the jump. The first took place on East Main St., in front of Spaeht’s store, at 9:45 p.m. Police said Barbara Lurille Adams, 346 N. Cedar St., was traveling west on East Main Street when she struck a parked car owned by Wiliam R. Gibson, Jr., 36 E. Main St. She will be charged by Officer Howard Dissing-er with reckless driving.' Damage to the Adams car was $250 and to the Gibson car, $150. While Dissinger waS attending to this accident, he received a call to another accident which occurred at the same time in the 600 block of South Broad St. He said that Dona R. Sturgis, 366 E. Main St., w traveling south on South Bro; Street, and struck the rear of car operated by Florence Winebarger, 621 S. Broad S who had stopped and indicat a left turn into a private drh way. Officer Dissinger said ; ter the impact the Winebarg car was pushed about 75 fei There were no injuries. The officer said that Sturj had been drinking, and he w taken to the Lancaster Poll Station for a drunkometer tei which they said proved po tive. He was charged by D singer before Justice of tl peace for operating a mot vehicle while intoxicated. Stu ('Continued on Page 3) Firemen Spend Exhausti ng Week-End, Playing Donkey Ball, Fighting Fire, Hustling Hosses What with a strenuous “Donkey Baseball game,” a hefty Horse Show, and a spectacular fire sandwiched in between, Lititz firemen were ready to say “uncle” when last weekend was over. Most could think of nothing except a soft couch to lie upon and nurse bruises and bumps that were anything but “ouehless.” But on the other hand, there were a few who seemed to love it all so much that they just couldn’t leave the place, and slept outside to make sure they’d be there on time. (More of them anon.) It, all began on Saturday when members of the Fire company spent the afternoon running back and forth between Lititz Springs Park, the site of the donkey baseball game scheduled for that evening, and the Linden Hall campus, the site of the All- Western Horse Show sponsored by the fire company on Sunday. The boys were concerned about getting both places ready for the coming events. The opening gun (or should we say “arrow”?) took place prior to the Donkey ballgame, when there was a “fashion show” of characters from the musical, “How the West Was Lost,” given by the Ambucs last Spring. The winner was Nancy* Ann Shelly, daughter of Fire Chief and Mrs. Ammon H. Shelly, who was dressed as an Indian squaw. The other contestants were Mrs. Kenneth Reed, Mrs. Carlton Walls III, Mrs. Ammon H. Shelly, Mrs. Charles Grumbling, Mrs. Charles Miller and Mrs. John Hatfield. The judges were Police Chief George C. Hicks, Fire Company President Christ Koehler and Mrs. Nancy Bau-blitz of Rothsville, who is “Mrs. Lancaster County Fire Chief.” She also presented Miss Shelly with a gift. Play Donkey Ball! Next came the donkey baseball game, a hilarious contest b tween two fire company teams, with “The Water Works Five Plus Four” defeating “The Firehouse Nine.” However nobody seemed to know what the final score was, as the game was terminated by the hands of the clock rather than by innings. However, that really didn’t matter, because it was the bumps, spills, runaways, balks, sudden stops and struggles to stay on top that really mattered to players and spectators. The firemen had acquired a certain amount of skill — at least, they knew what to expect — from having played Neffsville the week before. At that time, Charlie Miller suffered an injured back which kept him out of work for most of the week but last Saturday night no injuries were reported. Debut on Donkey A highlight came when a call went out for lady riders to play the game. Mi’s. John Hatfield was the only woman to volunteer and, despite the fact that she never rode before in her life, she made a home-run. Although only twenty years old, she is the mother of two little girls, three and two years old. Her husband played on the winning team, and was also chairman of the horse show. After the game was over, weary and sore firemen were sitting around relaxing when the fire alarm sounded about (Continued on Page 2) Boro OK’s Maple Lane Storm Sewers & CATV DOZENS OF TROPHIES, shown above, will be awarded at the invitational swim meet to be held by the Lititz Springs pool team Saturday at the pool.

Robert Rapp Achieves Eagle Scout Standing Boro Council at a meeting Tuesday night awarded a contract for $10.649.36 to Cone-wago Construction Co., Hanover, for the construction of storm sewers on Maple Lane, ’file construction should alleviate the excessive water during storms on Maple Lane and : at the intersection with West Orange Street.

The ordinance requires that any installation does not interfere with a home owner's present antenna reception. A fee of Vu of the annual gross rev- : enue with a minimum of $50 must be paid by all companies. Council announced that Keller Bros, had complied- with I stipulations made by Council | concerning the parking of i junked vehicles. Consequently, | a variance to the junk yard ordinance would be allowed whereby Keller Bros, could park cars closer than 100 feet to a property line. Keller Bros, request for rezoning the block between proposed 6th Street and proposed 7th Street west of Spruce Street from residential R1 to general business was denied. This in effect over ruled the Planning Commission, which had approved the rezoning request. Charles E. Rineer, 525 East Main St., complained in a letter that Wm. B. Fry Auto Agency was parking cars in such a manner that the sidewalk on E. Main Street was blocked. Council stated they would contact Fry concerning the complaint. In other business Council: —Approved a donation of $50 to the Warwick Community Ambulance Association. —Agreed to pay Robert Balmer the difference in cost between a 6 inch and 12 inch pipe line on Rome Road. —Purchased a vacuum leaf collector from M.G.S.

It, all began on Saturday when members of the Fire company spent the afternoon running back and forth between Lititz Springs Park, the site of the donkey baseball game scheduled for that evening, and the Linden Hall campus, the site of the All- Western Horse Show sponsored by the fire company on Sunday. The boys were concerned about getting both places ready for the coming events. The opening gun (or should we say “arrow”?) took place prior to the Donkey ballgame, when there was a “fashion show” of characters from the musical, “How the West Was Lost,” given by the Ambucs last Spring. The winner was Nancy* Ann Shelly, daughter of Fire Chief and Mrs. Ammon H. Shelly, who was dressed as an Indian squaw. The other contestants were Mrs. Kenneth Reed, Mrs. Carlton Walls III, Mrs. Ammon H. Shelly, Mrs. Charles Grumbling, Mrs. Charles Miller and Mrs. John Hatfield. The judges were Police Chief George C. Hicks, Fire Company President Christ Koehler and Mrs. Nancy Bau-blitz of Rothsville, who is “Mrs. Lancaster County Fire Chief.” She also presented Miss Shelly with a gift. Play Donkey Ball!

However, that really didn’t matter, because it was the bumps, spills, runaways, balks, sudden stops and struggles to stay on top that really mattered to players and spectators. The firemen had acquired a certain amount of skill — at least, they knew what to expect — from having played Neffsville the week before. At that time, Charlie Miller suffered an injured back which kept him out of work for most of the week but last Saturday night no injuries were reported. Debut on Donkey A highlight came when a call went out for lady riders to play the game. Mi’s. John Hatfield was the only woman to volunteer and, despite the fact that she never rode before in her life, she made a home-run. Although only twenty years old, she is the mother of two little girls, three and two years old. Her husband played on the winning team, and was also chairman of the horse show. After the game was over, weary and sore firemen were sitting around relaxing when the fire alarm sounded about (Continued on Page 2) Boro OK’s Maple Lane Storm Sewers & CATV DOZENS OF TROPHIES, shown above, will be awarded at the invitational swim meet to be held by the Lititz Springs pool team Saturday at the pool.
