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

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

Pfc. Appier
Local Man
Is Wounded
In Vietnam
Pfc. Richard J. Appier, Jr.,
of Koser Rd., Lititz R3, was
Wounded in Vietnam June 17,
according to word received by
his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Richard J. Appier, Sr.
They reported that he suf­fered
a gunshot wound in the
right shoulder which just
missed his lung. The bullet
also hit his helmet, tearing
the lining, but only scratched
his head. Pfc. 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. Liberty St.
The American Red Cross
contacted Vietnam twice for
news of Pfc. Appier and noti­fied
the family. His mailing
address is C 1/503 Inf. ABN
BDE (SEP.), APO San Fran­cisco,
Calif., 96250.
The Lititz Fire Company
won the Zone 2 firemen’s effi­ciency
contest held Sunday on
the parking lot at the Manheim
Township High School, for the
third consecutive year.
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.
Emmerich, a first alternate,
took the place of Jim Reed,
regular member who relin­quished
his place because he
has enlisted in the Air Force
and wasn’t sure if he would
still be here for the test.
Other alternates were Dick
Keller and Jim 'Snavely'.

Stores bulge with bargains
for annual sales weekend
Thousands of valuable bargains will greet shopp­ers
in Lititz during the annual summer Red Tag Days
today, Friday and Saturday, August 4. 5 and 6.
One of the unique features of this week’s celebra­tion
is the giving away of valuable merchandise for
lucky numbers.
Each copy of this week’s Record-Express carries a
coupon on the first page of ihe tabloid supplement on
which is printed a number which is different from any
other number in the entire run of the newspaper. 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. So the shopper should retain his coupon, and
take it from store to store looking for additional gifts.
All stores will be open until 9 p.m. tomorrow
night and until 5:30 p.m. on Saturday.
Stores taking part will fly the Red Tag Day bann­ers.
Parking meters will be bagged to provide free
parking for everyone within the downtown shopping
area.

tabloid supplement listing bargains in addition to the
advertisements in the regular sections of the paper.
