Petticofler, who joined the bank in 1960. has served in several posts for the bank and most recently was Personal Credit Manager. He has served in the U. S. Army from 1964 to 1966 and is a graduate of Warwick Union High School. He is married to the former Edna Wiggins, of Lancaster. Charles A.

Daniel Deiter, manager of the Neffsville Office and Director of Marketing for the bank, will spend several weeks in. Philadelphia, studying credit and lending. During his absence, A. K, Gamer will serve as acting manager of the Neffsville Office. Turkish Farm Youth Spending Year Here A 17-year-old exchange stu-dent from Turkey with a “keen” interest in the field of agriculture has arrived in Lititz where he will attend Warwick High School as a member of the senior class during the next nine months. Tahir Guner, Tekirdag, Turkey, is being sponsored by the Warwick Chapter of the American Field Se r v i c e International ¡Scholarship program. Tekirdag is a city of European Turkey and is located about 78 miles west of Istanbul. Translated Tekirdag means “prince’s hill.” Tahir and his sisters Yas-mer and Fatma, received their education at the school in Tekirdag which consisted of five years of first school, three years of middle school, and three years at the high school. He and his sisters stayed in Tekirdag throughout the school term each year and lived in a private home in which they rented three rooms. During the summer months they reside at their parents’ home in the village of Karaeuli which has a population of 200 people. The climate here is dry and rather warm. Winter precipitation as a rule presents a minimum of snow, and water never freezes there. The earthquake which struck Sakarya, Turkey, recently was located about 300 miles from Tahir’s home. They felt a little disturbance, but that was all. He said the people expect an earthquake every year. Ahmet Guner, Tahir’s father, farms 500 donum or the American equivalent of 166 acres of land. He raises wheat, corn, barley, onions, sunflowers and watermelons. The sunflowers provide oil used for cooking purposes. Two tractors are utilized on the farm. His Tahir Guner livestock consists of 600 sheep, 25 goats and eight cows. The village is composed of many farmhouses, silos and barns. The cattle arc kept in the village and taken daily to a “community pasture” about eight miles from the village.

Miss Mabel Schnerer and Mrs. David DeWald represented the local auxiliary at the fair and picnic which was held at the Coatesville Veteran’s Hospital in July. Mrs. Cletus Forney, Mrs. Pontz and Mrs. Soit attended the American Legion State Convention at Pittsburgh, recently. A picnic will be held for Legion and auxiliary members at the Mountain Trail Inn on Sunday, September 17 from 1 to 7 p.m. All active members are invited to attend. The next regular auxiliary meeting will be held at the Legion Home on Monday, September 11, at 8 p.m. Extinguish Fire On Morgan Roof Firemen removed a part of the roof of the Morgan Paper Company plant in extinguishing a blaze which broke out at a 7:45 a.m. Wednesday. Only minor damage resulted and maintenance men had the roof repaired by late Wednesday, Morgan officials said. The smoldering fire broke out above the exhaust from one of the machines and is thought to have been created by a spark from a defective wire. Local firemen joined volunteers from Brickerville, Pen-ryn, Brunnerville and Ger-lach- Mt. Airy in a test run at Brickerville Tuesday evening when a mile of hose was laid. Old Zion Service Sept. 10 Lovers of historic lore will possibly outnumber members of the congregation Sunday afternoon, September 10, when the annual anniversary service will be held in the centuries-old Old Zion Reformed Church at Brickerville. In preparation for the annual re-opening of the venerable old church building, Robert D e m m y, of Leoia, recently completed giving the church organ its annual tuning-up. Although pressure still is maintained by the old-fashioner foot treadle, the organ is famous for its melodious sounds, church members assert. The sermon for the anniversary service will be on the intriguing topic of “Tents, Temples and Time” and will be delivered by Rev. J. William Arnold, pastor of St. Peter’s United Church of Christ in Lancaster. Twenty years ago, only a few years before weekly services were abandoned. Rev. Arnold preached from the same pulpit as a student minister. The choir from his church will render special music. Rev. Norman Bucher, Jr., pastor of St. Paul’s United Church of Christ, Manheim, will be the liturgist. The public is invited to attend. The Old Zion congregation was established exactly 220 years ago, in 1747, while the (Continued on Page 4) T rustees To Curb Vandals Closing of the 'Springs Park and imposing a ten o’clock curfew on the use of the park including both teen-agers and adults, was requested by a representative of the park trustees before Lititz Borough Council Tuesday evening. At the same time, Chief of Police George Hicks requested the installation of a number of large lights, similar to those at the borough parking lot, asserting that the present poor lighting makes effective patrolling in the park almost impossible. Both requests came as an aftermath of the teen-age riot one week before when a gang of 70 Columbia and Lancaster youths invaded a Center dance. One youth was stabbed and four others injured seriously enough to require medical attention— and a wave of indignation swept through the community as a result of the gang invasion. Warrants for the arrest of five Columbia youths and two from Lancaster were issued this week after prosecutions were started by Borough Police. Appearing before borough council Tuesday evening, Richard B. Walters, a park trustee and chairman of the park grounds committee, requested better police patrolling of the park. Walters also requested council to pass an ordinance closing the park to all persons at either 9 or 10 p.m. each evening, excepting when sponsored activities are held. Walters also informed council that in the past at least six fountains in the park have been damaged or destroyed. lie also enumerated numerous other incidents of vandalism in the park. Appearance of the police oar in the park is ineffective as it is spotted before it can get far, it was reported. Members of the council agreed to have the borough solicitor study the matter and requested that park trustees present a list of suggestions in order that an ordinance can be drawn up to be presented at next month’s meeting of council.

Reese could get top billing for his family as “The Traveling Reeses!” During the past few days three of his four sons have either been crossing the continent by car, flying from coast to coast or spanning the ocean by plane. Edward Ree~" TI, 26, who is employed by Mobil Oil, Sunday flew from Philadelphia to Los Angeles. Following a business session, he flew back to Chicago yesterday. James D. Reese, 24, and his family reached Lititz Tuesday after driving from Seattle, Washington, where they spent the summer. Reese studied at the University of Washington in a special course centering about designs for government air raid shelters. Reese is an architect and a graduate of Penn ¡State, where he wi'lt be teaching and working on his master’s degree, this year. He and his family left Seattle last Friday. The family includes his wife, the former Sandra Minnich, of Ephrala, and a seven-month-old son. Yesterday, Richard W. Reese, 21, a pre-med student at Penn ’ State, arrived at Kennedy airport on. a flight from Europe. He and a companion, Timothy Strickler, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Strickler, Lititz R4, completed a ten-week tour of Europe, making the flight on a special plane chartered by Penn State. Strickler also is a senior at Penn State. Only one member of the Reese clan was “grounded.” He is the youngest son,, Timothy, who had to miss the trip to New York to greet his brother, as well as a wedding ceremony last Saturday—due to a ruling he is observing tO' the letter of not missing -a single football practice at Warwick Union High School.

Denlinger ing time, piloted a Cessna 172, four-place plane, which she and her h u s b a n d own, on the 5,000 mile solo flight, in order to compile the remaining necessary amount of solo hours required to obtain her private license. It was noted that she had just begun taking flying lessons earlier in the summer under the instruction of Hal Morris and Bob Coates, both of whom are certified flying instructors, at the Lundair Flying Service. ¡She began her flight ¡the latter part of last week at Paso Robles, Calif., with top overs at Wichita, Kan.; Indianapolis, (Continued on Page 5) more years before being completed, will completely transform the appearance of the institution and will provide facilities for more than doubling the size of the student body. Scheduled to be torn down as part of this expansion are the present gymnasium and the annex attached to the Castle fronting the floral garden. The main entrance will be located just west of the' stone cottage on Main Street at the east end of the present campus at this point. One of the features will be a luxurious dining room section with a seating capacity of approximately 350 persons and which will be made available for community functions. The 'building program, as presently planned, will be divided into lour phases. Although each prase is expected to be completed within a five-year period, all four should be completed within the next 12 years, Dr. Byron K. Horne, Linden Hall headmaster, predicted. The first phase, upon which plans have been completed, will be started as early as next year as possible and will cost approximately $850,000. Preliminary work will consist of the installation of proper drainage facilities and storm sewers now being worked out with the borough. Contracts for the first phase are expected to be signed this winter. Buildings upon which work will be started next Spring are the dining room-kitchen, two large dormitory buildings, the social dean’s headquarters and lounges and the school infirmary. . The building containing the dining and banquet facilities will be situated ten feet in the air on pillars and enclosed entirely in glass. This will 'allow persons using the rooms to have an ideal view of the picturesque Linden Hall campus while the area beneath will be used for student recreation and games and will not be enclosed. The dining facilities are so arranged that it can be used as a single banquet hall with a 350 seating capacity, or divided into three separate dining looms, ideal for more than one community affair at a time. The two dormitory buildings will house 40 students each and also provide recreational facilities for these 40 students as well as an apartment for the house mother. The dome-like addition above the second floor (Continued on Page 5) Outdoor Antique Show !n Park This Saturday The first outdoor antique show and flea market in the Lititz area will be held in the beautiful and spacious Lititz Springs Park on Saturday, September 2, in conjunction with the annual chicken barbecue. Both events are sponsored by the trustees of the park, and proceeds will be used for park improvements. There will be no rain date. The show will begin at 9:00 a.m. and continue until dusk. Early dealer reservations assure its success. There will be from 50-70 dealers from a six-state area. It seems certain that the show will become an annual event. The park concession stand, operated by a group of volunteer workers from St. Luke’s United Church of Christ in Lititz, will serve a pancake and sausage breakfast commencing at 6:00 a.m. They will also serve lunch, and from 2:00 p.m. until 7:30 p.m. will serve chicken barbecue dinners in the park. Proceeds will be used for their church building fund. Breakfast prices are $1.00 and chicken barbecue dinners are $1.75. Barbecue chicken takeouts at $1.00 per one-half chicken will also be sold at convenient drive-in locations. Graybill Miller of Manheim will be the chicken barbe-cuer. There is no admission charge. Ample free parking and modern, convenient rest room facilities are available. Preparing $ 4 0 ,0 0 0 Sewer Plan Council Hears Protest From Sutter Village Group Storm sewer facilities to eliminate the hooding of the Linden Hall campus following each heavy rain storm will cost from $40,000 to $50,000, it was disclosed at a lengthy meeting of borough council Tuesday evening. At the close of the session, council informed Linden Hall officials that a plan for eliminating' the flooding condition will be prepared by ¡the borough water engineers, Henry Huth, Inc., of Lancaster. Borough officials also are studying the question of whether the borough should shoulder all or what part of the costs. Huth engineers present at the meeting proposed that a 60-inch main be installed and run a distance of 500 feet across the campus to Main Street. This, it was estimated, will cost approximately $28,000 and is a reduction over a previously- suggested 800-foot main which would have cost approximately $40,000. In addition, the borough would have to enlarge the storm sewer on the opposite si de of Main Street opposite Linden Hall at a cost of ap- (Continued on Page 4) Graduate Tonight Miss Erb /F Miss Howell Local Nurses To Graduate At U.

The first phase, upon which plans have been completed, will be started as early as next year as possible and will cost approximately $850,000. Preliminary work will consist of the installation of proper drainage facilities and storm sewers now being worked out with the borough. Contracts for the first phase are expected to be signed this winter. Buildings upon which work will be started next Spring are the dining room-kitchen, two large dormitory buildings, the social dean’s headquarters and lounges and the school infirmary. . The building containing the dining and banquet facilities will be situated ten feet in the air on pillars and enclosed entirely in glass. This will 'allow persons using the rooms to have an ideal view of the picturesque Linden Hall campus while the area beneath will be used for student recreation and games and will not be enclosed. The dining facilities are so arranged that it can be used as a single banquet hall with a 350 seating capacity, or divided into three separate dining looms, ideal for more than one community affair at a time. The two dormitory buildings will house 40 students each and also provide recreational facilities for these 40 students as well as an apartment for the house mother.
