Linden Hall
To Present Play
The drama dep a rtm en t -off
Linden Hall will present thé
piay “Marriage .Wheel” Friday,
at 8 p.m. in the Fellowship
Hall of the Lititz Moravian
Church. This arrangement has
been made to make it avail­able
to the community because
its scenes, historically located
in this area, would be of spe­cial
interest. .
The play is a composite of
the 18th and 19th century tra ­ditions
of the Moravians,
Brethren in Christ and Men-nonites.
It concerns th a t p e ri­od
when the coming generation
felt th a t th e old customs
should be changed. The church
fathe rs to whom these young
people appealed recognized
th a t change was p art of growth.
The changes are made without
violence and with much good
humor. It is a message for
these times inasmuch as it sug­gests
ways of reconciling dif­ferences
w i t h o u t violence,
school officials point out.
Under the direction of Pa­tricia
R. Sullivan the cast in­cludes
Gretchen Godfrey of
Lancaster, Gail McMindes and

Mysterious
Lily Planted
By Sutter?
A strong possibility exists
that th e “mystery tulips” grow­ing
in th e park may have been
brought to. Lititz by General
John A. S u tte r when h e came
here from California in 1871.
The flowers have been iden­tified
as “California lilies” by
Monroe Wonder, 77 front
Street, and his son, Monroe
Jr., Lititz R4, who supplied
this information to th e Lititz
Woman’s Club’s conservation
department following th e ir
quest lo r knowledge concern­ing
the yellow-flowering “tu­lips”
Observed recently in Lit­itz
Springs Park.
Wonder, who said he has
been observing th e flowers for
many years, said his former
school teacher, the late Nath­an
E. Reist, a well-known nat­uralist,
told him th a t th e flow­ers
were brought from Cali­fornia
by General Suitor. Reist
taught at the Warwick School,
then located on Market Street.
F or fu rth e r identification of
th e flowers. Monroe Jr. when
a boy, s h o w e d one of the
blooms to his teacher at Lititz
High School, the late Anna K.
Miller, also an authority on
flowers. Her identification also
proved to be the “California
lily.”
Although the blooms are
over for this year, the wide­spread
foliage, fre e from con­gesting
weeds, most likely will
present quite a cluster of beau­tiful
yellow flowers next year.
