Saturday is Art Day in Lititz!
And all that is needed to make
the second annual Lititz outdoor

nice, clear day.
According to Floyd Hackman,

approximately 100 adults and

this number to at least 25 ex­hibitors

Starting at 8 a.m., the exhib­itors
will report at Hackman’s
store, N. Broad St., when they
will be assigned their spaces
along Main and Broad . Streets.
Children will display their art
along the entrance to Springs
Park.
All are expected to have their
paintings and other works of
art in place so that the show can
start at 9 p.m. It will continue
until 6 p.m. Two rain dates for
the show are Saturday, August
3, and Saturday, August 10.
Art show exhibits will extend
from the railroad tracks on
North Broad Street to Orange
Street, South Broad Street and
from the Square to Cedar Street
along both sides of Main Street.
The exhibits will include water-colors,
oil paintings, colages,
sculpture and all other media.
Practically all of the exhibitors
are offered for sale by the artists.
The show again is sponsored
jointly by the Lititz Village Art
Association and the Lititz Re­tailers
Association. A long list
of cash prizes, totaling nearly
$400, is offered the winners. In
addition to three other local serv­ice
clubs offering prizes, the Lit­itz
Lions Club this week an­nounced
it will sponsor the sec­ond
and fourth prizes in the oil
painting division, amounting to
$25.
Judges are Harlan Rettew, of
Mantteim, art instructor at the
Conestoga Valley schools; Walt
Partymiller, of York, cartoon­ist
with the York Daily & Dis­patch;
and Charles Carlson, of
Kirk Mills, nationally-known

Italian Youth To Arrive
For Year At Warwick High
Nicola de Cesare, Remanzac-co,
Italy, has been assigned as an
exchange student who will spend
a year in Lititz, it was announced
by Donald Rannels, president of
the local American Field Service
Chapter.
The fifteen year old student,
who will attend Warwick High,
is the son of Giovanni and Elsa
Bonora de Cesare. He has a four­teen
year old brother, Mario,
who is an avid stamp collector.
Nicola’s father is a physician,
specializing in surgery in Rem-anzacco,
a town located four
miles from Udine. Situated in
the north west part of Italy,
Udine is a city of about 100,000
inhabitants. The town has an ac­tive
life provided by a large
number of industries and num­erous
farms.
The location of Udine is ideal
for the tourist as it is situated in
sight of the Alps and the town
of Cortina, the winter sports
center of Italy. To the south of
Udine, lies the Adratic Sea,
where numerous tourists spend
their summer season.
Nicola’s mother is an elemen­tary
school teacher, who al­though
she devotes much time
to her profession, does all the
shopping for her home and fam-ily-
T
he Italian youth, who de­scribes
himself as “rather short,
with light blue eyes and light
brown hair,” attends the third
class in a “Liceo” where he spe­cializes
in scientific studies. Sub­jects
appealing to him are math­ematics,
Italian literature and
history.
Nicola enjoys reading news­papers,
magazines and books,
with a preference for American
history. Athletically inclined, he
plays tennis, likes to swim, play­ed
basketball, but dropped it be­cause
of his height and also play­ed
baseball for a short time.
