New Secondary School Proposed For District
Water Improvement Could
Cost $62,600 To $353,900
Cost estimates for develop­ing
the proposed new borough
well at Locust Street and for
improving the existing Waiter
facilities have been received
by Borough Council from Hultih
Engineering Coup., it was an­nounced
by Borough Manager
George D. Steedle.
Five proposals or “schemes”
are recommended for Borough
Council's choice, ranging from
the development of one well
art the Locust Street site up
to consolidation and impnne-ment
of the entire borough
water supply.
The estimates include
ine residual control
softening and fluoridation
each case, fluoridation would
cost $8,000.
After a month’s test of tin
proposed new well, the State
approved it, with the provision
that the borough must use a
chlorine residual control sys­tem
which would regulate the
amount of chlorine in the wa­ter.
The State also highly rec­ommended
that this equip­ment
also be installed for the
existing water facilities.
The total costs of the five
proposals are estimated ais fol­lows:
1. Td develop one well at
Locust Street site with chlor­ine
residual control, $62,600.
2. To develop two wells at
Locust Street site with chlor­ine
residual control, $85,200.
3. To develop two wells ait
Locust Street site and to pro­vide
this site and the existing
pumping station with separate
chlorine residual control sys­tems,
$95,800.
4. To develop two wells at
Locust Street site and to pro­vide
this site and the existing
pumping station with separate
chlorine residual control, sof­tening
and fluoridation sys­tems,
$353,900.
5. To develop two wells at
Locust Street site and to pro­vide
chlorine residual control,
softening and fluoridation at
the existing pumping station
to serve both well fields, in­cluding
a 12-dmeh force main
from the Locust Street site to
the existing pumping station,
$240,000.
A breakdown of Scheme #5,
which would probably be the
most practical for the over-ail
improvement of the entire sys­tem,
is as follows: addition of
chlorine residual control sys­tem,
$8,500; addition of water
softener facilities, $93,200; ad­dition
of fluoridation facilities,
$8,000; cost to develop two
wells at Locust Street site and
to pump water to existing
pumping station west of park,
$81,000; total project costs,
$190,700; plus 25 percent for
engineering, legal, contingen­cies,
etc., $49,300; total proj­ect
cost $240,000.

Woodstreom Plans
$80,000 Addition
Woodstream Corporation will
construct a new $80,000 factory
building adjacent to the new
warehouse, it was announced
by, R. G. Woolworth, president,
yesterday.
A building permit for the
work was issued this week at
the borough office.
The new building will cover
about 18,000 square feet and
will house the mouse and rat
trap department, offering im­proved
pleasant working con­ditions,
company officials said.
It will provide more economi­cal
operation as the packed
goods can go directly into the
new warehouse just a few feet
away. The warehouse was fin­ished
last January. It is ex­pected
to complete the new
factory addition next summer.
White Hunter of Brazil
To Present Travelogue
Sasha Siemel, “White Hunt­er
of Brazil,” will present the
second travelogue in the Ro­tary
Club's “Travel and Ad­venture”
series Saturday, No­vember
12, at 8 p.m. in War­wick
High School auditorium. -
Siemel has been called the
“Tiger Man.” This is a title
of honor, not a publicity nick­name,
which was given to him
by the natives of Brazil in re­spect
for his courage and dar­ing.
These Indians hunters re­gard
guns as "sissy weapons.”
Siemel is the only white man
who has mastered the natives’
difficult and dangerous art of
dispatching tigers with a hand­made
spear. Siemel is the man
of the jungle who has been
called “a real-life Tarzan,” but
to the lecture world he is
known as a tall, handsome,
d i s t i n guished-looking gentle­man
and seasoned lecturer.
After Sh-asha Siemel became
Sasha Siemel
er. Hunting jaguais, or tigers
as they are generally known
in South America, is his busi-world-
famous as the central fig- ness. Each tiger destroys some
ure in Julian Dugid’s books, 50 head of cattle a year.
“Green Hell” and “Tiger Ranchers pay Siemel to elimin-
Man,” he has thrilled thou- ate the tiger — and he has

Bright, cheery and alert,
Miss Rettew is very happy
with her new accommodations

Miss Rettew, who is quite

lived for 75 years in her ten-room

Intermediate Bldg. For
Grades 6 -8 Is Favored
A new 'secondary school for
the Warwick School district
by September 1969 is recom­mended
by the special Build­ing
and S-ite committee which
h-as made an exhaustive study
o-f the situation since it Was
appointed l-a-s-t M-airch.
The p-ropo-se-d n-e-w school
could be either a junior high
school, an intermediate school,
or a high school building, in
which case the present high
school building would become
a junior high. In all eases, it
is recommended that the
building be constructed on the
baseball diamond and old foot­ball
field o-n Buch farm, form­ing
a “campus complex” in
the interests of economy and
efficiency. For one example, it
would be unnecessary to pro­vide
the proposed new school

went through the intersection,
colliding with another car.

Back To School
For HS Parents
A “B-ack-.to-Sohool Night”
for parents of the Warwick
Junior-Senior High School stu­dents
will be held on Thurs­day,
November 10, at 7 p.m..
as part oi American Educa­tion
Week, Nov. 7-11.
The purpose oi the prog urn
is to acquaint tihe parents with
their child's -teacher, their
school, and its academic pro­gram.
Parents will assume t-he reg­ular
Tuesday class schedule of
their own children and g-o
from class to class in abbrevi­ated
periods of ten minutes
e-a-ch. Du-rinig each period,
teacher® will make presenta­tions
relative to the subject
they teach.
The pro-gram is n-ot only a
chance for pa-ren-ts to meet
their children’s tea-ethers but
also an opportunity to be in­formed
regarding t-he subjects
taken by their .child-rein.
Students are being request­ed
-to see that their parents
have a en-nv of their Tiiesdlav’s
with an auditorium, since the
existing one could serve both
buildings..
The committee which made
-the s-tudy and recommenda­tion
® to the School Board in­cludes
Carl Kaufman, Junior
High Principal, chairman;
George Rernetz, Beck School
Principal, b-otih representing
administration; J-ack Watson,
Lititz Planning Committee; Jo ­seph
Snavety, chairman of
Warwick township planning
committee, representing lay
people; Miss Linda I-tzoe, sec­retary,
and Richard Munr, rep­resenting
the secondary teach­ers;
Miss Charlotte Redc-ay a-nd
Carl Seldomridge, representing
the elementary teachers.
The committee, after months
of study, made its. recommen­dations
on the basis of the
population growth of the area,
noting that children now in
the elementary grades will
seriously overcrowd the high
school in a few years.
They point ou-t that in the
last few years there has been
a five percent annual increase
in school population, brought
about by the rising birth rate
in the area, as we-l-l a-s by new
families moving into the dis­trict.
They say the district can
tolerate a ten percent increase
in elementary population, but
the size of teaching units nec­essarily
enters into the situa­tion.
At present, the acute
problem is in the high school,
where the situation can def­initely
be predicted because to­morrow’s
high school popula­tion
is already in school. An­other
factor is tha-t fewer amd
fewer students are dropping
ouit of school. The proposed
vocational-technical school in
the Bro wn-stown area will have
no significant effect on the
high school population, the
committee felt. Warwick will
probably send about 7Q stu­dents
who will spend half
their time -at the Vo-Tech
sohoo-l a-nd h-a-lf at Warwick.
The new school actually will
aid in reducing the number of
drop-outs, the committee feels.
Favor “Intermediate”
In recommending a new sec­ondary
school, the committee
definitely favored am “inter­mediate”
school, rather than a
Junior high school. This would
accommodate grades six, sev­en
and eight, while the ninth
grade would be added to the
Senior High school, making it
a four-year sch-oo-l. The com­mittee
feels th-at this is a more
natural grouping of students
according to their educational,
physiological, psychological and
social requirements. I-n other
words grades 6-8 (-and even 5)
“belong together,” and 9th
grade pupils are closer to 10th
gr-aders than to 8th graders.
For example, the 9th grader’s
program has always been con­sidered
the first year of sen­ior
high amd his grades are
used on college transcripts (to
cite only two examples).
The committee states, there­fore,
that in terms of the pres­ent
data available, a kinder­garten
through fifth; sixth
through eighth, and ninth
through twelfth setup seemis
lo be the best, solution. This
would relieve both tihe elemen­tary
and secondary situation,
