The Warwick School Board a t . ident, reported that the Teach
William S. Miller, III, Lititz, treasurer of the Lancas­ter
County React group, checks over the equipment pur­chased
and carried by all volunteer React members in

Lititz Men Participate
In REACT Program
a meeting Tuesday night ap-j
proved $10,032 for the Lititz Rec.
Center. The money represents
the school district’s 66% share
i under an agreement with the
borough, which pays 44%.
j The subsidy represents a $5,-
000 increase over last year be­cause
the state stopped reim­bursement
of the Rec. Center
I director’s salary. The Rec.
B o a r d had counted on $7,800
from the state and $7,400 from
the school board and borough.
When the s t a t e ceased reim­bursement,
the Rec. Board came
up $15,200 short out of a total
budget of $33,700.
Therefore, the board had to
request the school district and
borough for an increase.
A request for the remainder,
or $5,168, will be proposed to the
borough at Council’s meeting
next Tuesday, March 26.
Harold Fry, chairman of the
property committee, reported
that unauthorized -use was being
made Of the Rothsville and Lit­itz
elementary schools. He said
someone had a key or keys to
the schools that were not au­thorized.

In any emergency it is of ut­most
importance that the situa­tion
requiring assistance be aid­ed
by qualified personnel.
Lancaster county is fortunate
in having volunteer members
who participate in “REACT”,
Radio Emergency Assoélàtëd
Communication Team, a nation­al
organization whose prime pur­pose
is supplying emergency- ra­dio
communication to persons or
any organizations who may re­quest
it.
Formed in October 1964, the
original 40 men of the Lancas­ter
county organization has in­creased
to an active member­ship
of over 50 persons, includ­ing
women. Officers of the or-
Ambulance
Drivers Need
Is Very Urgent
An urgent plea for new am­bulance
drivers for the Warwick
Community Ambulance was is­sued
this week by the new 1968
officers of the Ambulance Driv­ers
Association.
Jay Eisenhauer, president, and
Art Adams, secretary, said dur­ing
1967 a total of 366 calls were
made which is one hundred more
than in 1963. They said the urg­ency
is in the fact that these 100
additional calls were made in
1967 with less drivers than in
1963. This has created an extra
workload for the present drivers
beyond the service already re­quired
of them.
Anyone interested in serving
the community in this worth­while
need may contact one of
the above officers or write Box
42, Lititz, Pa.
A new two-way radio has been
installed for constant communi­cation
while the ambulance is
in service. This new piece of
equipment h a s already saved
precious time on numerous calls.

is operated as a non profit
organization by t h e Warwick

Plans Ready To Adopt
Home Rule May Be
Opposed By Boroughs
Curtis Amidon, president of
the Lititz Borough Council, also
president of the Lancaster Coun­ty
Boroughs Association, reports
on a meeting of the association
h e l d in the Mountville Civic
Center l a s t Wednesday night,
that 15 officials against the
Home Rule Plan and 14 unde­cided
on the plan might indi­cate
that the association will op­pose
the adoption of the Con Con
Local Government Proposal.
Jerry Godwin, assistant exe­cutive
director of the Pennsyl­vania
State Association of Bor­oughs,
reported that he expects
PSAB to meet this week to en­dorse
adoption of the proposal.
Godwin told the borough rep­resentatives
that an informal
survey showed that the state
organization probably will ap­prove
the Local Government
Proposal as it was approved at
the recent Constitutional Con­vention.
He explained some of
the apparent ramifications of
the proposal at the meeting.
The major concern of the Lan­caster
County Boroughs Associ­ation
is that people know what
the contents of the proposal will
mean to them and exactly what
they will be voting for in the
April Primary Election.
The proposal, as it will appear
on ballots, reads;
“Shall proposal 6 on Local
Government, adopted by the
Constitutional Convention, pro­viding
for h ome rule for all
units of local government, op­tional
forms of government, uni­form
procedures for merger,
consolidation and boundary
consolidation and b o u n d a r y
change, inter-governmental co­operation
and area governments,
local finance and debt limits,
apportionment and related mat­ters,
be approved?’’
Some members of the LCBA
expressed the opinion that “This
proposal helps everybody but
the boroughs.’’
Godwin answered this by say­ing
that no proposition could
please everyone, and suggested
that the boroughs would have to

will retire in August as Senior
Pastor of the Lititz Moravian
Church. In an announcement
distributed to members of the
congregation last Sunday morn­ing,
the bishop stated: “ I am
planning, tentatively, to preach
my last sermon as pastor of the
congregation on Anniversary
Sunday, August 11. We shall
take the last two weeks of Au­gust
as a part of our vacation,
which means that my official
connection with the congrega­tion
will end on August 31, 1968.
It will not be easy to terminate
a relationship which has been
such a happy one.”
“Next September I shall join
the faculty of Linden Hall, on a
part time basis, teaching the
Bible courses and several cours­es
in English.”
“We shall therefore continue
to live in Lititz and maintain
membership in the local congre­gation,
although we shall not
participate actively in the life
and worship of the congrega-
Bishop Schattschneider
To Retire This Summer
Bishop A. W. Schattschneider^-tion for some time, since preach­ing
appointments and visits to
other congregations will take us
out of the community on many
weekends.”
Bishop Schattschneider and
his wife came to Lititz in Sep­tember
1962, after a pastorate
of 15 years at the New Dorp
Moravian church on Staten Is­land,
N.Y. Previous to that Bish­op
Schattschneider had served
congregations in Philadelphia,
Riverside, N.J., and Staten Is­land
(Midland and New Dorp
Beach).
Bishop Schattschneider was
born near Edmonton, Alberta,
Canada, while his father was
pastor of the Bruederheim Mor­avian
church. He was educated
in the public schools of North
Dakota and Minnesota. He is a
graduate of Moravian College,
and of Moravian Theological
Seminary, both in Bethlehem,
Pa. He did post-graduate work
at Biblical Seminary in New
York, New York University, and

The Warwick Town ship
Planning and Zoning Com­mission,
as a result of sever­al
y e a r s of study and re­search,
presents “The Zon­ing
Ordinance of Warwick
Township” and the zoning
map for the careful consid­eration
of every resident of
Warwick Township.
The proposed zoning ordinance
stresses the health, safety, and
general welfare of all residents;
it divides the township into ar­eas
where land can best be util­ized
for orderly development of
residential, rural, commercial
and industrial purposes; it pre­serves
the character and indi­viduality
of the township as it
is today and protects current
property values; it protects the
environment which we now en­joy
against the undesirable land
uses of an uncertain future; it
prevents the overcrowding and
misuse of land and thereby min­imizes
the costs of future gov­ernmental
services; and pro­vides
a set of ground rules we
can all live with, in order to
guide the township in its devel­opment
in the years of growth
ahead.
There are several things the
Ordinance does NOT do. They
are: it does not correct the er>
rors of the past; it does not es­tablish
minimum building con­struction
standards; and it does
not control the design or the
cost of the building.
The proposed zoning ordinance
and map contains six districts.
They are the rural district, resi­dential
district R-l, residential
district R-2, residential district
R-3, commercial district, and
industrial district.
RURAL DISTRICT—Coveiing
approximately 50% of the town­ship,
it is primarily designed
for all types of agriculture or
horticulture and single-family
homes. . ,
Included among" those ‘ uses
permitted by special exception
is a refuse and/or garbage dis­posal
site, provided that such
sites are approved by the Penn­sylvania
Department of Health
and operated in conformity with
its regulations and any township
ordinances. Also included are
cemeteries and related uses, air-
Ambucs’ President Charles Edson and his daughter,
Donna, were among the Ambucs’ representatives at the

“Carnival” which will play the Warwick High stage next

cast. Another Ambucs “sit-in” is scheduled for tomor
row night at the square.
‘Carnival’ Is Broadway’s
Most Colorful Musical
St. Paul’s Evangelical Lutheran Church
awarded a $524,000.00 contract, for the
construction of a new church building on
West Orange St., to the Buckwalter Con­struction
Company of Lancaster, Pennsyl­vania.
Pictured above are (seated left to
right) Mr. Ivan Buckwalter, president of
the company; Mr. William Spacht, presi­dent
of the church council; and Mrs. Roy
Enck, council secretary; (standing) Mr.
Raymond Buckwalter, sec.-treasurer and
estimator for the company; Pastor Shann­on;
Mr. Russel Schreiber, building com­mittee
chairman.
Construction will begin about April
15th with completion of the building sche­duled
for early 1969.
The building was designed by Mr.
Harald E. Wagoner of Philadelphia. Buck-waiter
Construction Company also erected
Luther Acres located on East Main St. in
Lititz.
“Carnival”, often referred to
as “America’s Magic Musical”
opens next Friday for a two-night
stand at Warwick High
School with a local cast made
up mostly of American Business
Club members and their wives.
In place of Anna Maria Al-bergetti
who played the lead
role of “Lilli” during the show’s
successful three year run on
Broadway, will be B a r b a r a
Heck, music instructor at Lin­den
Hall. Lilli is a lonely orphan
girl who becomes enchanted
with the desire to join the gay
and glamorous carnival run by
the pompous has-been “B. F.
Schlegel” played by Bob Rosen­berg.
Lilli becomes the pawn in a
fierce rivalry for her affection
between “Marco”, a magician
played by Dale Shelley, and
“Paul”, a puppeteer wi t h a
game leg played by Roy Yeager.
Paul talks through his puppets
which include a sentimental wal­rus
who is fearful of “ antiwal­rus”
remarks (MacCreary),
and a sophisticated fox played
by James Sensenig. Lilli, after
unsuccessfully trying several
jobs in the carnival, finally joins
the puppet act.
The s p i r i t of the show is
brought to the audience with
rousing circus parades, hawkers
throwing souvenirs in their laps,
and performers marching up
and down the aisles.
The hauntingly b e a u t i f u 1
theme, “Love Makes the World
Go Round” , runs through the
story.

ports, camping grounds, fishing
and game clubs, home ocupa-tions,
among other special ex­ceptions.
Zoning attempts to protect and
preserve legitimate uses of agri­culture,
but recognizes that zon­ing
cannot protect agriculture
if the farmer does not wish to be
protected. Thus safeguards ex­ist
against the encrochment of
nearby residential uses, but
these are useful only if the land-owner
wishes to respect them
and preserve his privacy. The
farmer can sell off lots if he
wishes but the farmer should
not then complain to the super­visors
if the new home owners
complain about his practices.
No stipulations are placed on
farm buildings or structures. All
farm uses now in existence can
continue, regardless of zoning
district.
RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS —
Three are provided, all of which
at this time will be occupied by
single family dwellings, the
largest single residential land
use in the township. Analysis
indicated the existence of three
clusters of population.
1. - The villages of Lexington
and Brunnerville have develop­ed
into a corridor of residential
uses in a U shape, extending
along 501, over the Lexington
Road and south on Pine Hill
Road. Thus far most of the de­velopment
is road frontage de­velopment.
2. - The village of Rothsville
is now stretching south toward
the village of Millport, again a
frontage development.
3. - The village of Kissel Hill
has ceased to exist and now en­compasses
a large area of surg­ing
population, centered in the
àrea to. the east of 501 but be­ginning
now to erupt on the
west side as well.
Almost all of these areas have
been zoned Residential R-2,
Which requires 15,000 sq. ft. lots
and sharply restricts non-resi-dential
uses. These areas are
also those most likely to be pro­vided
with public water in the
early future. No attempt has
been made to “zone in” all scat­tered
population pockets of a
small group of houses. In most
instances these have been left to
remain in a rural classification,
which also provides major pro­tection
to these residents.
RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT R-l
—This district is designed pri­marily
for single-family homes;
ànd any form of agriculture,
provided that no hogs, goats,
poultry or the commercial keep­ing
and handling of farm stock
or other domestic or wild ani­mals
shall be contained on tracts
of less than five acres. Parks
and playgrounds, not operated
for private profit, will be per­mitted.
Special exceptions in
this district include churches
and related uses; municipal
buildings and uses; and schools
and related school uses. Regu­lations
of height and area of
principal and accessory build­ings
are covered in the ordi­nance.
Residential R-l zone has been
provided, requiring a lot size of
17,500 sq. ft. Only two areas
have been so zoned, both of
which by reasons of topography
are not suitable for n o rma l
housing developments. Many
more could have so zoned but
present patterns of use indicate
that such uses are far in the fu­ture.
The requirement for a
larger lot size, as well as the re­quirement
of 20,000 sq. ft. in a
rural district, is due to the need
to insure that adequate land
surface is available to provide
functioning water and sanitary
facilities. These are not likely to
be provided with water and sew­ers
in the foreseeable future,
RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT R-2
—Permitted uses of this district
are similar to Residential R-l in
that it includes single-family
