Dr. Horne Impressed By Spirit
Of Constitutional Convent ion
There Is every incilcadi.on that
Pennsylvania's first conTitu-ti'O'nal
convention im 94 years is
going to come up wul-h a lasting
document which will stand the
rigors of time, Dr. 'Byron K.
Horne, Lindeni Hall hradmaher
and delegate to the convenuioin,
declared this week as the group
completed its . first ten days in
Harrisburg.
Dr. Horne is playing a busy
and. active role in the1 work of
the constitutional convention.
On Monday afternoon he served
ais chaplain and addressed the
assemblage. Last week he also
began his work as a member of
the committee on 'local govern­ment,
one in which his experi­ence
as a borough councilman
Cor several terms is proving of
considerable value.
Another Lititzite was prom­inently
active in the opening
sessions of the convention last
week when State Senator Rich­ard
Snyder addressed the con­vention
and 'brought it the
greetings of the state 'assembly.

of a more dedicated and sincere

Collector
Earns Pay
There’s a bit more to collect­ing
borough taxes than walking
to the bank, Borough Manager
George Steedle explained this
week as his office was beseiged
with an avalanche of applica­tions
. for the appointment of
borough tax collector.
Borough council will meet
Monday evening at 7:30 p.m.
to consider appointing a succes­sor
to Raymond Reedy, who is
resigning due to becoming coun­ty
treasurer.
While the tax bills are made
out by the data processing con­cern
at Lemoyne, Pa., used by
the county tax bureau, at the
borough’s expense, the bills are
mailed by the collector.
“But,” the borough manager
pointed out this week, “that is
only a small part of the job. The
tax collector has to accept both
cash and checks and must bal­ance
out this with the tax dupli­cate.
a real tough job.
“The tax collector also has
to submit a statement to the
borough each month. But, the
tougher aspect of the job is
handling the per capita collec­tions,”
Mr. Steedle explained.
“A lot of people feel they
should be exonerated and it is
up to the collector to fill out
forms for them to be submitted
to borough council.
“Yes,” Steedle concluded, “I
disagree that the job is an easy
one and think the collector
earns every penny he gets.”
Should council fail to make
an appointment, borough taxes
will be collected directly by the
borough. This was the plan pro­posed
originally a few years ago
when s p e c i a l bookkeeping
equipment was purchased and
the tax collector’s pay was re­duced
from a scale of two and
five per-cent to a flat one-half
of one per-cent.

Air masks equipped with oxy­gen
tanks which were added to
local fire-fighting paraphernalia
some months ago, proved to be
of real value to firemen and
were credited with keeping
damage at a bare minimum at
a blaze in a Kissel Iiili home
Friday morning.
The masks and tanks were
donated to the Lititz Fire Com­pany
by the Lititz Chapter of
A.B.C. and purchased from
funds earned in last year’s show
put on by the club. Friday’s
blaze, however, was the first
time the masks were put into
use.
The fire, in which a family of
six was forced to flee in their
night-clothes shortly' after 7
a.m., was at the resident , of
Rev. Clemens W. Rosenberger,
114 Mayfield Drive and is owned
by the local Church of the Bre­thren.
Firemen reported that when
they reached the scene, smoke
was pouring out of the windows
and members of the family were
standing outside.
