Escapee
Caught
An 18-year-old county youth,
sought since he escaped from a
s t a t e correctional institution
over a year ago, was taken into
custody in Lancaster on June 6.
State Police identified the es­capee
as Harry 'Miller of Lititz
R4. Since he fled the Camp Hill
Correctional Institution on April
24, 1967, State Police said Mil­ler
told them he had been “ all
over the country.”
He fled with another youth,
Richard D. Enck, 18, of 406 S.
Broad St., Lititz. Enck, police
said, is still at large.
Miller, who was jailed on bur­glary
and larceny charges, was
linked by police with a gun
charge following an accident
here last Feb. 19. A car which
he was driving was involved in
an accident near Leola, Trooper
Ronald Janick said. Miller ran
away from the scene, the troop­er
said, and allegedly left a load­ed
pistol hidden under the front
seat of the wrecked vehicle.
As a result. Trooper Janick
Thursday filed a charge of vio­lating
the Uniform Firearms
Act against the escapee before
Justice of the Peace Kathryn
Clark, Greenfield Road.
Miller was committed to the
county prison to await a hearing
on this charge. In addition, he
faces action in connection with
the prison breach, the trooper
said. Janick said Miller also will
bt questioned about other of­fenses
in the county.

Father Joseph Driscoll
Leaves St. James Church
Father Joseph Driscoll, who
lias had the care of St. , James.
Catholic Parish, Lititz for the
past nine years, bade farewell
to his congregation at all the
Masses on Sunday. He will be
succeeded by Father Francis
Sands, C.SS.R.
In his farewell address to the
people, Father Driscoll express­ed
his regrets at leaving the
Church and the congregation
that he has loved and served. “A
priest’s place is with his peo­ple,”
declared Father Driscoll.
“He must not only visit the sick
but care for those in difficulties
and troubles. He must watch
over and guide the young in
their education. He must com­fort
and console the sorrowful
and preach the Gospel of Christ:
inspire the people with the spirit
of justice and charity.” It has
been Father Driscoll’s custom
to visit in the homes and wel­come
the new-comers to his par­ish.
“He must also be part and
parcel of the community in
which he lives and be ready to
sacrifice and help in all the
worthwhile programs. This I
have not been able to do recent­ly,”
said Father Driscoll. “At
the age of 73, we naturally slow
down some. While I was reluc­tant
to acknowledge it, it be­came
more evident in latter
years. Consequently, it is a wise
move on the part of the superi­ors
to send into St. James a
Father Joseph Driscoll
young, vigorous, alert priest.
That we have in Father Sands
who will take my place in the
care of this parish.
“Father Sands, as you all
know, is an eloquent speaker,
has a warmth and deep sympa­thy
for ail the sick and the shut-ins;
he has particular rapport
with youth and has always been
recognized as a devoted, zealous
Redemptorist. His experience in
Puerto Rico, New York and
Tampa will serve him well.”
Father Driscoll called for sup­port
of Father Sands in the dif­ficult
task that lay ahead of him.

Lititz Fire Chief Ammon Shel­ly
informed The Record Wednes­day
that a new electronic fire
“Alerting System” will go into
effect in October.
Shelly said seven fire com­panies
will be involved and he
and his wife will operate the
electronic system with 24 hour
reliefs provided by the compan­ies.
The companies are Lititz,
Rothsville, Brunnerville, Brick-erville,
Penryn, Manheim and
Salunga.
The system will operate the
sirens of all the companies elec­tronically.
All fire calls will be
received in Lititz on private
lines used exclusively for such
calls. When a call is received,
the company’s siren will be elec­tronically
activated and the in­dividual
firemen notif'ed of the
location of the fire by a monitor
in their homes. Consequently,
the firemen will immediately
know the location of the fire and
go directly there rather than re­porting
to the fire house. Shelly
said this will help the firemen
provide quicker service for the
public and less time traveling
for the firemen.
The total cost to each com­pany
will be about $236 to initi­ate
the service. The service will
be similar to that now used in
the Lancaster City, Quarryville
and Ephrata areas.
Senior Citizens
Plan Banquet
The final meeting of the sea­son
for the Senior Citizens will
be held on Thursday, June 20
at 5:30 p.m. at the Lititz Recrea­tion
Center at which time a
completely catered banquet will
be served. Club members will
not need to bring any place sett­ings.
Any person not contacted by
the calling chairman should
contact Mrs. Lydia Spinner or
Mrs. Eva Koehler not later than
Friday, June 14.
The program for the evening,
following the banquet, will be
presented by the “Grand Square
Dance Club” who will demon­strate
the technique of square
dancing under the direction of
Paul Andrews. The Senior Citi­zens
will be invited to partici­pate
in the dancing.
Club meetings will be ad­journed
for the months of July
and August. The advisors for
the Senior Citizens are Mrs.
Forbes Emsweller and Mrs.
Marguerite Rider.
Mrs. Emsweller has reported
that the final count on the soap
that the club members collected
and sent to Richard Corton in
Viet Nam was 375 pounds of
soap.
Chicken Com Soup And
Bake Sale At Penryn
A Chicken Corn Soup Sale
and Bake Sale, sponsored by the

Grove on Saturday, June 22
starting at 10 a.m. till ? In case
of rain the event will be held

Jackpot' Cash Prizes Zoom To
$200; Drawing 2 P. M. Saturday
The “Shop in Lititz Jackpot”
Saturday grew to $80 and $120
as neither of the winners were
present to accept their cash
prizes.
Tom Kenyon, representing the
Lititz Retailers’ Association,
drew the names in the third
weekly drawing before a large
downtown crowd. Seven names
were for $10 gift certificates and
the winners were mailed their
certificates.
The two cash drawings, one
for $90 and another for $60, have
to be claimed on the spot or the
money goes back into the pot for
the following week. That is what
happened Saturday when Bar­bara
Myers drew the names of
Elam B. Hollinger, 629 S. Broad
St., for $90 and Fannie Gehman,
Lititz R.3, for $60. Since neither
were on hand, the cash jackpots
next week will be $120 and $80.
While all entry cards will be
held for the grand prize drawing
for the 1968 Chevy II at the end
of the 12-week contest, it will be
necessary to re-register each
week for the weekly gift certifi­cates
and cash bonus drawings.
Anyone over 16 years of age is
eligible to enter this continuing
contest. All it takes is to sign up
at any one of the stores of the 29
participating Lititz merchants.
Register as often as you wish:
no purchase is necessary. But,
to be in each week’s contest be
sure to REGI S TER EACH
WEEK.
The next drawing will be held
this Saturday, June 15th, 2 p.m.
at the Conestoga Bank Parking
lot.
