V The Lititz Record - Express Serving The Warwick Union Area For Nearly A Century 90th Year E stab lish ed April, 1877, as The Sunbeam (Consolidated w ith The l i t i t z Record, 1937) Lititz, Lancaster Co., Pa. 1754ä, Thursday, August 4, 1966 7 cent» a Copy; 93.00 per y e ar by mall w ith in L an c a ste r County 24 Pages — No. 17 Lucky Numbers Mean Gifts During Red Tag Days Two Cars Of Same Owner Hit In Less Than Week No sooner had a Lititz woman got another car to replace one damaged in an accident, than the replacement was hit and damaged even worse than the first, Lititz police reported. The care is owned by Florence J. Winebarger, 621 S. Broad Street, and was parked in front of her home last Friday at 12:20 a.m., when it was struck by a car traveling north on S. Broad St., operated toy Chester Wertsch Jr., 35 Front Street, police said. The Winebarger car was damaged to the extent of $350 and the Wertsch car was damaged to the extent of $450, a total of $800, according to Officer James Fritz, who investigated. He will charge Wertsch with reckless driving before Justice of the Peace Harold H. Kauffman. There were no injuries. On Sunday, July 24, a car owned by Mrs. Winebarger was struck by a vehicle driven by Donald R. Sturgis, 366 E. Main St., as she was making a left turn into her driveway. At that time, damages to her car were estimated at $150, and it was replaced by the car struck last Friday. There were no injuries then, either. Speeds To Scene Excitement at the scene of this accident was heightened by the arrest of a youth who sped to the scene — and through it — at an excess rate of speed, police said. He was quoted as saying he “just wanted to see what happened.” Officer Howard Dissinger, who was also at the accident, said the youth. Richard R. Smith, seventeen, 49 E. Second Ave., drove at a fast pace thi’ough the area, despite the fact that flares were set, two police cars were on duty with their lights flashing, and a > fire engine was at the scene I washing down gasoline from i the street. Dissinger charged | the youth with reckless driv-1 ing while approaching the scene of an accident. Two Car Crash Two cars collided on Saturday at 4:45 p.m. on Water (Continued on Page 6) Visitor Stricken With Heart Attack Lewis Moore, sixty'four, Bowie, Md., suffered a heart attack Wednesday morning ait the. General Sutter Hotel where he and his wife and mother-in-law, Mrs. Emma Lee, Arlington, Va., were staying on a vacation trip. Dr. Piaui Hess was called and ordered Moore taken to the Lancaster General Hospital in the Warwick Ambulance. Members of the family said he would have to remain there for several days. Rothsville Happy With P. O. Service Residents of Rothsville for the most part are well pleased with their new mail delivery system, a representative sampling of opinion disclosed. Foot carrier service went into effect on May 22 and mail is now delivered to front doors instead of people-having to go to the Post Office for their mail. Before the new service went into effect, there was some opposition to it, mainly because people thought there were to be individual mail-boxes at the street in front of each house. But there are mail slots in each door. Some people also feared they were going to lose the name of Rothsville, as the new post office service was to be under Lititz. But the postmark is still Rothsville, although the street numbers are in the two thousands, making their Main street a continuation of Main Street in Lititz. There is one foot carrier, Fred Nies, who was described by patrons as being “prompt and courteous,” the mail arriving at the same time each day. One of the major changes was to discontinue the full-time Post Office, and install a rural branch. This is in the rear of Wayne Mast’ barber shop on Twin Brooks Rd., and Mrs. Mast is clerk in charge About 24 people still retain Post Office boxes, as compared to about 100 when people had to go for their mail. There is plenty of parking space at the new location. The little old Post Office building now is empty, but still has a mail box in front of it as a reminder of old times. The building is privately owned, and had been leased by the government. The former Postmaster, Chester Shirk, now has a position in the Eph-rata Post Office The only dissatisfaction we heard was from a woman who still wanted to give her outgoing mail to the carrier to take to the Post Office. This might have been all right — except that she had 75 letters to gc- Ib-flfeuinrJUL Jinitun dH l * - y ' ‘ & < * 4 * v * * * * * ■ + ■■ w .

Appier, a paratrooper, was in Evacuation Hospital 36 from June 17 until July 19, when he was sent to the field hospital at Bein Hoia for further treatment. However, the wound did not respond well, so he was transferred to the hospital in Saigon, where he is expected to remain for another month. Sgt. Appier received the Purple Heart, his parents said. His wife, Ashley and daughter, Tammy Jo, live at 117 Juniper St., Lititz.. His grandmother, Mrs. Viola Reichstein, lives at 131 E.

Lititz scored 85 points out of a possible 100. Tied for second place were the Penryn Fire Company and Southern Manheim Township Fire Company, each with 76 points. The Hope Fire Company of Manheim put on an exhibition with their aerial ladder truck. Other Fire Companies in the Zone arc Rothsville, Briek-erville, Nefisville, East Petersburg, Brunnerville, Eden., and Rohrerstown. The test required each unit to advance with 200 feet of 2V2 inch hose and release a powerful stream of water; then at a signal replace a supposedly broken section, get water again, and replace the hose in the truck. Water was pumped from a portable tank set up in the parking lot. They each also were required to remove a ladder from the truck, raise it 20 or more feet, and replace it in the vehicle. Then they all climed aboard and drove off. The units were evaluated on efficiency, safety and how well the test was executed. The Lititz team included Fir e Chief Ammon Shelly, Lt. Howard Mowrer, John Hatfield, Leroy Emmerich, Charles Miller, Carlton Walls and James Wiegand.

No one has the same number that YOU do. Take your coupon with the number to the participating merchants (also listed on the first page of the tabloid supplement), where numbers are posted, and look to see if your number is there. If so, you will receive a gift. Each merchant may have as many different numbers as he likes. It is entirely possible that numbers will be duplicated in some of the stores, which mean,s that a shopper might receive more than one gift.
