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.

Legion Aux.
Installation
At Corn Roast
Mrs. Thomas Middleton, di­rectress
of the American
Legion Auxiliaries of Lancas­ter
County, conducted the in­stallation
of new officers for
the 1967-68 season of the
Ladies’ Auxiliary of the Ameri­can
Post 56 at a corn and dog­gie
roast held at Elm on
August 28.
Installed were: Mrs. Jack
Pontz, president; Mrs. Richard

recording secretary; Mrs. Fran­ces
Miller, corresponding sec­retary;
Miss Rosemary Rice,
treasurer; Mrs. Ardeila De-
Wald, historian; Mrs. Charles
Gray, chaplain, and Mrs. Mir­iam
Lorah, sergeant-at-arms.
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

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

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.

Boro Councilman Presents
The “Traveling Reeses!”
Borough Counc;iman Edward
G. 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.
Mrs. Lloyd C. Denlinger

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.

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

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

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-
