Borough Council at a meeting
Tuesday night approved a cur­few
for youngsters under age 18.
The curfew goes into effect to­morrow,
November 1, and is ef­fective
from, midnight until 6
a.m. seven days a week.
About twelve citizens appear­ed
before Council to urge adop­tion
of the curfew. They told of
many acts of vandalism in the
borough, which have been going
unchecked and have become
more and more frequent.
Council has been reluctant
for several years to adopt a cur­few,
saying it did not want to
penalize all the well behaved
youths and parents should as­sume
responsibility for their,
children.
However, it was pointed out
to Council that curfew would
not restrict legitimate activities
and most youths were not out
past midnight.
The new ordinance, modeled
after Manheim Borough’s, states
“that it shall be unlawful for
any minor (under 18) to remain
in or upon any public place or
establishment in the borough af­ter
(curfew) hours unless accom­panied
by a parent or upon an
errand or other legitimate busi­ness
directed by a parent or un­less
engaged in lawful employ­ment
after (curfew) hours, in
which case said minor shall car­ry
written identification and evi­dence
of such employment.”
The ordinance also holds re­sponsible
the parents and oper­ators
of establishments to- allow
minors to be there after curfew
hours.
Fines for violation range from
$1 to $5 for the first conviction
to $5 to $100 for each subse­quent
offense. Operators of es­tablishments
may also be fined
from $10 to $100.

Warwick High Students Vote
For Nixon In Mock Election
A Time For Leadership
Richard Nixon found the road to the top far from easy
— and there were setbacks. Early, however, energy, driving
ambition and hard work became his trademarks.
As a boy, he worked in his father’s grocery store in a
small California town. It was the ’20’s — and hard times for
the family. But he was determined to make it. He worked
his way through college, was second in his class. He couldn’t
make the team, but wore his football uniform and cheered.
Young Nixon pushed on. With a scholarship, he finished
third in his class at Duke law school. As. president of the
student body, he was developing his political talents.
First, he sought a job with a big-city law firm, but fail­ed.
He settled for a small-town practice. His abilities were
recognized in the Navy, where he rose to lieutenant com­mander.
In 1946, he took on an entrenched California Democrat
for a House seat — and won. His political career had begun.
Only 34, he was a U. S. Representative. He showed his capa­city
for work on the Un-American Activities Committee.
At 38, he was a U. S. Senator and, at 40, Vice President
for eight years under President Eisenhower.
Such is the background of the man now seeking the
presidency.
He is well qualified by his background to lead the United
States,, when leadership is so direly needed.
Vote for Nixon next Tuesday. - .
