Burkholder Potato Chips
by Don Timmons
Chips were flying this week
with hardly a day’s production
lost following the move of
Burkholder’s Potato Chips
from an oversized garage at
the rear of 234 N. Front
Street to a brand new, 73-foot
square, block building on N.
Water Street.
The only previous move the
company made was 21 years
ago when founder , Clayton
Burkholder moved the family
operation from Farmersville
to Lititz. Burkholder’s chips
have been an institution in
Lititz ever since.
Two years ago, the second
generation of Burkholders
took over operation of the
family business. Mr. and Mrs.
Rufus Burkholder were inter:
ested in preserving the dis­tinctive
quality of the product,
but at the same time they
wanted to increase the plant
efficiency and capacity. As Mrs.
Burkholder said, “The odd lo­cation
has been too small for
the past two years. Now we
have room to expand our ca-

■the need arises.”
What makes Burkholder’s
chips distinctive? ?A combina­tion
of several factors, we
learned. The open-kettle fry­ing
process is one of these,
Mrs. Burkholder said, adding
that most manufacturers to­day,
especially the large ones,
use fully automatic cookers
that handle big batches of

by Borough police on
August 19.
Officer James Fritz, on pa­trol
at 2:45 a m., noticed two
young men in the vicinity of
Clair’s Store at “five points,”
walking north ..on Liberty
Street. A half block up they
crossed the street and went to
a parked car. Fritz said he
thought they were stealing
hub caps, but instead he found
they were letting the air out
of the tires. Fritz collared one
of them, but the other jumped
in a car and drove off. The
officer gave a short chase, then
gave up.
On interviewing the youth
he had caught, identified as
Gregory Young, nineteen, 91

they had both been drinking.
Young was brought before

As Playground Season Comes To End
The last two weeks of Play­ground
were busy and fun-filledjones
for all participants.
The fifth week was highlighted
by treat day, Hobo Day, and
the annual overnight oampout
at Spring Lake Park on Thurs­day,
August 11.
Although the area was hit
by an enormous thunder storm,
the spirits of the eighty-six
campers were not dampened.
As scon as the rain ended the
campers enjoyed a free swim
and then were treated to hot
dogs, corn on the cob, fruit,
punch and cookies. Following
a long hike, most campers
were ready to climb into their
warm sleeping bags and talk
or attempt to get a little sleep.
When the sun rose, so did
these sleepy-eyed campers,
ready for another day. After
an early breakfast of eggs and
sausage, and later another
swim, everyone began folding
up camp and by 11:30 all 86
campers and ten adults were,
back at the Rec Center.

and Dave Althouse, by a score
of 17 to 12.

progress report will be given
to Borough Council by Bor­ough
Manager George D. Stee­dle
at its meeting Tuesday
night. He stated that when the
project is fully completed, the
streets of Lititz will be in very
good shape.
The works crew also has
been busy painting lines on
the streets.
There also will be a report
on the storm drainage con­struction
work underway on
Maple Lane near West Orange

which water lay when it
rained, and children walking
to school frequently were
splashed by passing cars. The
puddle also caused an ice
problem in the winter.

where parking was permitted
on East Main Street along the
Moravian Church on a 60-day
trial basis.
It is expected that a name
will be submitted for appoint­ment
