The two cash drawings, one for $60. and another for $40., 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 Fire Chief Shelly drew the names of Sue C. Keller, 364 N. Broad St. for $60. and B. L. Sharp, Lititz R2, for $40. Since neither were on hand, the cash jackpots next week will be $90. and $60.

Register as often as you wish; no purchase is necessary. But, to be in each week’s contest be sure to REGISTER EACH WEEK.

New St., retired from the Downingtown Paper Company, Lancaster, on May 31. Neff had been employed at the company for 10 years and eight months. He was serving as Plant Superintendent at the time of his retirement. Neff recalled coming to Lititz from Harrisburg to help on the job as a printer at the former Lititz Paper Box and Printing Company which later changed to the Simplex Box Company. He also held positions as a pressman and foreman with the company. Neff was honored at a luncheon May 28 given for him by members of the company office personnel. Fire Company Festival Sat’dy The Lititz Fire Company will hold its annual chicken corn soup festival Saturday, June 8, at the fire house from 8 a.m., until ? It is estimated that the food items will include 40 boilers of chicken corn soup, 1700 clams for clam mix, 50 Moravian sugar cakes, apple and cherry pies. The food may be eaten at the fire house, or taken out, provided customers bring their own containers. The prices are: soup, plate, 30 cents; pint, 40 cents; quart, 75 cents; clams, 15 cents each; pint, 50 cents; quarts, 90 cents. The Ladies Auxiliary will prepare chickens at the Fire Hall on Thursday, June 6, for the festival. C. Thomas Risser Glenn Michael Roth Judy Ann Gochnauer Folk Music 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. Homes Needed For Fresh Air Children Mrs. Clarence B r u b a k e r , chairman of the Fresh Air Program in the Lititz area, announced that the arrival dates for children in Lancaster County are July 11, July 25 and Au-ugst 8.

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.
