Work Starts
On Addition
To L-H Plant
Construction has started on
the 125,000 square foot addi­tion
to the Lititz plant of the
Lambert Hudnut Manufactur­ing
plant, it was announced by
company officials. Bromo Sel­tzer
and Efferdent denture
cleanser are scheduled for pro­duction
in the new addition,
and the new expansion will
give woi k to about 75 to 10C
more employes, it was said.
While no definite cost fig­ures
were announced by the
company, a building permit
was issued last April for a
$353,000 warehouse addition.
The completion dale is an
ticipaled by the winter of
1967-08.
The new building will con­sist
of a two-story section for
manufacturing and packaging
plus a warehouse with ship
ping facilities from a railroad
siding. The manufacturing and
packaging section will be com­pletely
air-conditioned.
Being considered is the pos­sibility
of imbedding “blue
glass” chips in the p re-focmed
concrete beams that will face
the front of the new packag­ing
section. The “blue glass”
is indicative of the traditional
blue bottle in which Bromo
Seltzer is sold. The actual blue
glass used for the packaging
of the product is produced toy

Because of many complaints
that the Lititz stream has been
dry, the borough has been ex­perimenting
with an effort to
drain water into the head end
of the stream, according to
Borough Council president, D.
Curtis Amidon.
However, ¡the experiment was
ended Tuesday, and it is not
certain if it will be resumed,
as most of the picnics in the
park are over.
A two-inch line was found
imbedded in the stream which

the borough water supply.

Total Of 3,438
Registered
This Year
Enrollment in the Warwick
Union School district has ris­en
by 1,100 more pupils dur­ing
the ten years since the dis­trict
was formed and the high
sehool was constructed, cur­rent
figures show.
As of Monday. September
12. the olficial enrollment fig­ures
showed a total of 3.438
pupils in the schools of the
district, compared with 2.339
ten years ago, September, 1956.
This would make more than a
33.3 percent increase during
the decade.
Enrollment increased 5.5 per
cent this year over last year,
when 3.256 were enrolled Sep­tember
12, 1965, or an increase
of 182 pupils.
Percentage-wise, the Warwick
schools made the biggest gain
in the county, the second high­est
being Hempfield with an
increase of 4.1 per cent.
However, there are only 16
more students registered at the
high school this year. School
officials said this small num­ber
is probably due to the
number of drop-outs and trans­fers
to other districts during
'the past year. There are 14
fewer seniors and six fewer
juniors. There are 166 more
elementary pupils, a total of
2,199 in t'he elementary schools,
compared with 2,033 last year.
Kindergartens showed an in­crease
of 65 tots over last
year.
Enrollments by grades this
year, with last year’s figures
in parentheses, are as follows:
