Community Services sponsored
by the Warwick Association of
Churches. ’The Service will be
held in the First Church of
God, E. Center St., starting at

and will continue for approxi­mately
one hour.
• Dr. Schlosser will be speak­ing

speaker, who is presently Pro­fessor
of English at Elizabeth­town
College, served as Presi­dent
of that institution from
1927 to 1941. He received his
doctor’s degree from Ursinus
College in 1932 and has taken

A new business venture, the
“Old Time Store and Antiques”
| will open Saturday, March 18, at
122 E. Main St., with William
Hazlett as proprietor.
The shop will be a unique
blend of old and new, offering
antiques, gifts, foodstuffs, home­made
and hand-crafted articles.
There will be a grand open­ing
oh Saturday form 9 a.m. to
9 p.m., during which time coffee

His wife formerly taught in
Manheim Central Hgih School
lor six years. They live at Lit­itz
Rl.
The building in which the
shop will be located is in the
historical section of Lititz, and
the original portion was the
eighth residence built in Lititz.
Most recently it was the site of
the State Liquor store. It is
owned by Paul P. Bushong, 120
East Main Street, which is the
first portion of the house built
in 1762.
In those early days, it was the
Moravian Community Store,
and was the first active trading
center in northern Lancaster
County, people coming from
quite a distance to make their
purchases. The original portion
of the house still may be seen
in the rear, including the old
fieldstone and the old windows.
About 1820 a new portion was
added to the east by a map nam­ed
Tshudy and this is the por­tion
in which the new shop will
be located, and which had hous­ed
the liquor store. A picture in
the 1828 Lancaster County At­las
shows it to look exactly as
it does today.

Palm Sunday Heralds
Opening Of Holy Week
Churches of the Lititz area
are geared for the observance
qf the most solemn w eek in the
Christian calendar^—Holy Week
-—which culminates in the most
sorrowful day of the year, Good
Friday, March 24.
The week opens with Palm
Sunday, March 19, when the
triumphal entry of Jesus into
Je ru sa lem is commemorated
with rejoicing and the strew­ing
of palms before him as he
“rode in majesty.” In deep
contrast to this day of rejoic­ing,
it would be less than five
short days later when some of
these crowds would turn again­st
him and he would die upon
the cross.
Pa l ms will be distributed
Sunday in Catholic churches of
the area and in some Protes­tant
churches as well. Cantatas
and musical services also are
being featured. The Moravian
Church b e g i n s its series of
