Boorugh Council has set the
period of June 7 through June
22 as a “Clean Up, Paint Up,
Fix Up” period in Lititz.
Four inspection teams will

of councilmen, firemen and
members of the sanitation and
health advisory board.
Borough Manager George
Steedle said no borough assis­tance
will be offered during the
period, but council would like to
observe what citizens can do on
their own. He said council hopes
everyone will put forth an ef­fort
to “spruce up” Lititz dur­ing
the period. Borough Coun­cil
at a meeting last week ap­proved
a preliminary plan for
a new park that would be de­signed
for use by persons of
every age.
The plan was presented by
Paul McCloud of McCloud, Scat-chard,
Derek and Edson. In­volved
is about six acres of land
owned by the borough off Lo­cust
Street.
The borough hopes to pur­chase
two more aiflpes o?. ,adja-.
cent land. The park would in­clude
a large pavilion, two small
pavilions, a small “tot” play
area, a play area for larger chil­dren,
benches and walks, a
stream and a bridge, three park­ing
areas, tennis courts, a com­fort
station, an area for elderly
persons, a pond for skating and

Auto Fines
Council adopted an “unau­thorized
auto” ordinance under
which cars parked on the street
without proper license registra­tion
or inspection sticker for
over seven days will be ticketed
and owners will be fined from
$6 to $12.
The council also adopted a
“red ticket” parking violations
ordinance providing that cars
parked near fire hydrants and
otherwise illegally will be tick­eted
and owners fined $2. If
fines are not paid within 48
hours, the fine will be $3.

Zoning Board
Approves Bids
The Lititz Zoning Board
Commission granted three re­quests
at their monthly meet­ing
Monday night.
The first request came from
John H. Hogan, who asked per­mission
to construct a 12-unit
apartment housing complex
along the south side of Owl Hill
Road, Lititz R4.
The second one granted came
from Linda A. Ault, of 562 Pros­pect
St., Lancaster, who has an
option to purchase a property
located at 541 W. Marion St.,
Lititz, where she will operate a
beauty salon and have a resi­dence.
This is a customary
house occupation and is in a low
density resident district.
In the third request, the Rev.
Allen W. Schattschneider re­quired
a variance to the zoning
jrdinance to construct a dwell­ing
at 415 Woodcrest Ave. on a
lot 50 feet wide at the building
line. This leaves a variance of
20 feet from the required 70
feet width.

Service At
St. Paul’s
Sunday evening, June 9, at 7
p.m., a special service will be
presented by young people of
the Lutheran Church of Lincoln
for youth and adults of the area.
The service will be held in the
Social Hall of St. Paul’s Luther­an
Church at 200 West Orange
Street. Luther League groups
from the churches of the North
Lancaster District have been in­vited
to attend.
The service presented in this
program is a modern setting of
the normal worship service of
the Lutheran Church, but is ac­companied
by guitar and other
instrumental accompaniment ra­ther
than the usual organ or pi­ano
accompaniment which is
typical of most church services.
In addition, some of the typical
responses are changed to a more
modern English rendering that
is more in keeping with our nor­mal
method of speech.
The presentation of a service
in modern English, accompanied
with the type of instrument
which is involved, has been ex­perimented
with in many
churches today, within many
denominational settings. While
many of us may wonder what it
will be like, few of us have had
opportunity to hear such a serv­ice
and participate in it. This is
an opportunity for all who may
wish to attend to discover what
such a service really is like. You
have an invitation to attend.

Mrs. Irene Ott, first grade teacher at
John Beck School, discusses a class pro­ject
on Holland with two pupils, John Ham- •
mer and Denise Frey. Mrs. Ott will retire
’ from the teaching profession after giving
23 years of service.
Mrs. Irene Ott, John Beck
Teacher, Retires A fter 23 Yrs.
Mrs. Irene Ott, first grade
teacher at the John Beck School,
Rothsville, is retiring following
2.3 years in the teaching profes­sion.
Mrs. Ott, a native Of Coopers-burg,
Pa., graduated from Mil-lersville
State Normal School in
1925, where she returned later
for extra credits.
Her teaching career began in
a three-room school in Ben 'Sa­lem,
Andalusia Township, where
she taught 63 children in grades
three through five for three
years. In 1928, she served as a
substitute teacher for 39 stu­dents,
grades one to four in a
one room school in West Lam­peter.
Mrs. Ott had .the privilege of
being the last téacher to occupy
the ohe-room school at Kissel
Hill. At that 'school she instruct­ed
22 pupils in grades one
through five.
Moving on to still another
school, 'Mrs. Ott accepted a 'pos­ition
as a first grade teacher at
Rothsville. 'Here she shared 50
pupils with another teacher in
a large room which could be
separated-by a curtain. She has
held her present position at the
Brunnerville School for the past
IS years.
'Reminiscing about her teach­ing
career, Mrs. Ott remarked,
“Piscipline presents more of a
problem today. This situation,"
.she claims, “is a result of the
general way people are living.”
She believes more students
should become better workers
in school because the ability is
there. Mrs. Ott noted that there
isn’t too much difference be­tween
today’s students' and those
she had previously taught. “Ev­ery
child presents different
needs and problems,” she said.
Mrs. Ott, who lives at 1582 Lit­itz
Pike, Lancaster, has planned
a trip to Hawaii for the sum­mer.
“My husband and I, who
have traveled quite a bit, enjoy
visiting other countries to see
just What they are like,” she
commented.
