Crowd Rated 'Huge’ At
Jackpot; Cash N ow $240
When they begin returning
from vacations to be present for
the weekly ‘‘Shop in Lititz
Jackpot” drawings, it’s a sure
sign interest is running right
along side of the rocketing
cashpot — unclaimed for seven
straight weeks.
Mrs. Emma Kling, Manheim,
-who reportedly made a special
trip back here from vacation
to be on hand for the drawings,
didn’t win the big one, but hers
was one of the fourteen names
drawn to receive $10 merchan­dise
certificates at last Satur­day’s
contest.
The “big one” is still in the
pool, and getting fatter every
week. By next Saturday’s con­test
time — 11 a.m. at the
Conestoga Bank parking lot
— the cashpot will be at $240.
Mrs. Willis Bucher, Lititz R2,
would have been the lucky cash­pot
winner last Saturday, ex­cept
for a slight technicality —
she wasn’t present. Each week
the crowd and the interest
grows, but so far, the cash draw­ing
continues unclaimed.
Mrs. James Gehman is beginn­ing
to make winning a habit;
her name has been drawn for
the past two weeks to receive
merchandise certificates. The
J. L. Kosers are keeping -it in
the family; he led off a few
weeks ago with a certificate,
and Mrs. Koser’s name was
drawn Saturday for another
one.
Winners
As a special contest feature
last Saturday, the Lititz Retail­ers
Assn., sponsors of the con­test,
doubled the number of
$10 merchandise certificates to
14.
The winners, and the stores
at which their certificates may
be redeemed are: Doris Weaver,

Local Brethren Church To Sponsor
Nigerian Teacher’s Study Here
The local congregation of
the Church of the Brethren,
in cooperation with the For­eign
Missions Commission of
its denomination, has planned
a student exchange program
for this next school year, it
was announced this week.
Bitrus Sawa, a member of
the Church of the Brethren in
"•'rgeria and teacher of the
.Vaka Mission School there,
will be brought to the United
States for completion of his
Master’s Degree in elementary
education at Penn State Uni­versity.
lie will spend most of
his time at the Middletown
and Yoi'k centers.
Sawa will bring his family
with him and wii) live in Lit­itz.
They will become a part
of the Lititz congregation dur­ing
their year's stay in the
Stales. The oldest son will re­main
in Nigeria to continue
his school work. Coming with
them will be three younger
children, ages 10, 3, and new­born.
The church will provide
a house for them at 371 E.
Main St., it was noted.
Aside from providing the
■»portunity for Sawa t,o obtain
..is Master’s Degree, which will
cjualify him for the principal-ship
of the Mission School, it
is the hope that many other
benefits will result from this
student family exchange. Pas­tor
W. Clemens Kosenberger
sees this as a great opportun­ity
for Christian brotherhood
and goodwill. “Hopefully, the
Sawa family, as they live in
Lititz for one year and wor­ship
in our churches, will learn
from this typical community
something of the American
way, that they will experience
Christian brotherhood and free­dom,
and will make many new
friends. It is hoped, also, that
the congregation and the com­munity
will, in this relation­ship,
learn from this family
and experience a new under­standing
of brotherhood as this
" >mily from a foreign country
„nd of different colored skin
lives amongst them,” the pas­tor
noted.
Sunday morning, July 16, at
10 a.m., Rev. Robert A. Hess,
Micoinnai-u tn Nigeria and Prin­cipal
of the Waka School, will
be guest speaker at the morn­ing
service at the Lititz Church
of the Brethren. As a personal
friend of the Sawa family, he
will preview their coming and
put forth the Foreign Mission
Commission’s hopes for this
project.
The Sawa family is expected
the latter part of August. The
community is invited to wel­come
them with a typical
American friendly welcome.

Local Host
Families Needed
For “Fresh Air”
Thirty-five city youngsters
from Manhatten and its Boros
are due in the Lititz area to­day
according to Mrs. Clarence
Brubaker, chairman of the lo­cal
“Fresh Air Children” com­mittee.
Groups will be arriving
here each two weeks for the
next month,- or so, under the
auspices of Fresh Air.
Each child that comes here
does so by advanced invitation
from a host family, Mrs. Bru­baker
notes. The invitations
must be in by three weeks in
advance.
Host families are still need­ed
for children coming here
on August 10, Mrs. Brubaker
adds. Deadline for invitations
for that date will be the
week of July 17th.
Any families interested are
asked to contact, either Mrs.
Brubaker, or one of the follow­ing
members of the committee:
Mrs. Amos Cassel, Mrs. Eli
Martin, Mrs. Clair Zng, or Mrs.
Lloyd Martin.
Changes At P.O.
May Slow Some
Borough Mail
There has been a ma j o r
change in the delivery of mail
to patrons living on certain
streets within the borough, ac­cording
to Lititz Postmaster
Richard C. Rader. Patrons liv­ing
on parts of South Broad,
East Second, East Third, the
south side of the first block of
East Main, all of East Orange,
Center and Linden Streets will
receive their mail about iVz
hours later than heretofore.
For several years, parts of
this area were handled as an
auxiliary route carried mostly
be temporary employees. In
conjunction with the depart­ment’s
policy to eliminate tem­porary
employees, and because
of increased mail volume per
family and the addition of
many new homes in r e c e n t
years, authorization was re­ceived
to establish a new full­time
route. This makes the
fifth regular foot carrier route
w i t h i n the borough, Rader
notes.
The- Postmaster announced
the appointment of Herbert
Roth, Jr. to Career Regular
Carrier. Roth has been assigned
to handle the new route. Rader
pointed out that although mail
deliveries to affected patrons
will arrive later than previous­ly,
the patrons will experience
the advantages of having a reg­ular
assigned carrier handle
their mail on a fixed daily
schedule. This was not possible
under the temporary arrange­ment.
Rader also announced that
Temporary Carrier Fred Nies,
who handles mail deliveries at
Rothsville, has been appointed
a Career Substitute Carrier. In
addition to his Rothsville du­ties,
Nies will receive assign­ments
at the Main Office.

Jung Children Visit In
Lititz For Third Summer
Diana and Do u g l a s Jung,
children of Fay and Nobuko
Jung, Manhattan, N.Y., are
spending two weeks visiting
Mr. and Mrs. Warren Newcom­er,
109 W. End Ave. under the
Fresh Air Fund program.
Mrs. Newcomer, who has been
accepting Fresh Air children
into her home for 13 years,
stated that she was interested
in becoming acquainted with
youngsters having a Chinese
background.
She contacted Mrs. Clarence
Brubaker, who is in charge of
the Fresh Air children, and
inquired if any such youngsters
were available. Her request was
fulfilled three years ago and
since then, Diana and Douglas
have looked forward to their
vacation in Lititz where spaci­ous
lawns and tree s h a d e d
streets provide “open areas in
which to move around”; quite
a contrast to the large city of
Manhattan.
The Jung children were born
in America to a Japanese moth­er
and a Chinese father.
Friendships have been made
in the neighborhood with Bob
and Steve Bomberger, Beckie
and Jeff Schreiber and Dennis
Rosenberg. The most popular
pastime for all is “swimming”
at Woodridge. Basketball and
baseball are also favorite activ­ities,
as well as riding bike.
Both youngsters enjoy read­ing
and are quite inquisitive.
