Reedy Cannot Continue
Serving After
Jon. 1
Wanted — One tax collector.
Pay reasonable and work light.
Borough officials and school
authorities awoke suddenly this
week to the realization that, they
must find a new collector of tax
within the coining month due
to the resignation of Tax Col­lector
Raymond S Reedy, who
will take office as county trea­surer
on January 1.
And while on an entirely dif­ferent
basis than it was some
years ago when it was a much-sought-
after political plum, the
job has become more or less an
easy one consisting principally
of opening up the day’s mail
and walking to the bank with
a deposit slip and checks.
The borough and the school
district both pay one-half of
one per-cent for the collection
of taxes as compared with the
rate in effect a few years ago
of two per-cent for all taxes
paid during the discount period
and five per-cent paid when
due or past due.
Bat at the higher rate, the
tax eolleeor had to send out
bills, pay his mailing and print­ing
bills. Today the borough
and the school district do all
the mailing, pay for all the
nririting and even shoulder the
,st of the tax collector’« bond
— leaving him with little more

Boys Loot
Coins From
Classroom
Seven Spent Rare Coins
On Spending
Spree
The theft of a collection of
rare coins valued at approxi­mately
$200 from a Warwick
High School classroom, led to
the apprehension of seven ju­veniles
and the recovery of a
number of coins this week, ac­cording
to Chief of Police
George Hicks.
The burglary occurred the
n-ig'ht of November 30 when two
of the boys, one 13 and the oth­er
15 years of age, entered the
school by breaking a window
on the first floor, Chief Hicks
stated. They were frightened
off by o t h e )• persons in the
building at the time and left,
only to return a second time,
when they were f r i g h t e n e d
away again by the presence of
a caretaker.
Re-entering the building the
third time, they broke open the
case containing the coin collec­tion
but the noise frightened
them away. When they return­ed
the fifth time they left with
the collection, the two alleged­ly
admitted after being taken
into custody this week.
They then divided the coins
with two others, one 12 and the
other 13 years old, who had
told them about the collection
and three other companions, 12,
13 and 14 years old respective­ly.
The seven then went on a
shopping spree, including a
trip to -Lancaster.
Notified of the burglary, bor­ough
police issued mimeograph­ed
lists of the missing coins
which they distributed to local
stores. Monday, they were no­tified
by Kauffman’s Market, S.
Broad St., that a yout h had
passed several of the missing
coins there. Questioned by Of­ficers
Keller and Fritz, this boy,
one of the group which shared
in the coins, implicated the six
others.
Coins having a face value of
$37.50 were recovered, police
stated. All of the group will be
petitioned into county juvenile
court.
The collection stolen was the
property of Mrs. Kathryn'Ganse,
531 High St., Lancaster, grand­mother
of Sue DeWald, a War­wick
High -School student, who
had taken the collection to the
classroom as a part of her
school activities.

With tickets also being sold
by members of the two teams
and the cheering squad, the
committee said this week that
judging from present indica­tions,
every seat in the large
dining area will be occupied.
The meal will be catered by
Les Bingeman.
A special fund to continue to
honor this team and future foot­ball
teams, already has been
established. Donations may. be
sent to Dick Ludwig.
An outstanding program will
be presented during the ban­quet
at which State Represen­tative
Marvin Miller will serve
as toastmaster. Talks by the
coaches and staff,1 introduction
of members of the two teams
and the presentation of trophies
and awards will prove a big
part of the program. . ..
-Due to the many features of
the banquet, there will be no
principal speaker — but with
half a dozen of those directly
involved with the two teams ex­pected
to more than make up
for this. . .
And by merely attending the
banquet, many will find them­selves
cast in the roles of TV
personalities. Bob Keller, sports-caster
with WLY'H-TV, Channel

in the program and to tape

choir is now available.

Second Lititz Moravian Music
Festival, presented May 7, 1967
in the church. Just 200 copies
of the r ecord were ordered so
“■hat delivery could be nr"~-
•■ad in time fr* ' ■ -
They will be sold on a
“first come, first 'served” basis.
The records contain anthems
by the choir, with the Festival
Orchestra and Wayne B. LeFov-re,
organist, accompaning: The
Water Music, played by a wood­wind
ensemble; and two congre­gational
hymns.
The opening Festival Hymn;
the familiar “All Glory, Laud,
and Honor,” by Tesohner, fea­tures
a soprano descant written
by David P. Keehn, and the
Closing Festival Hymn is a be­loved
hymn to all Moravians;
“How Shall I Meet My Savi­our,”
by E. W. Leinbach who
was a Salem Moravian and was
regarded as the most influential
musician in Salem during the
second half of the lftth Century.
Foui* of the anthems on the
record were written by J. C.
Geisler, who was a leading m-u*
sical figure in European Mor­avian
settlements: Marienborn,
Cnadenlrei and ilrrrnliut. More
than 200 titles of his composi­tions
are listed in the Johannes

Wounded” by J. P. Kellner,
Who was a pupil of Johann Se­bastian
Bach.
“When We in Spirit View
Thy Passion” by J. L. Frnyrll
features a very lovely soprano
solo, sung by Jean Aurrem Vcr-eoe
of Philadelphia, a sister of
James Auman, a member of the

Probably the most important
anthem recorded is the double-chorus,
