State Improves
Slick Area'
On Rente 501
North Of loro
State Highway Department
crews last week improved a
three-fourths mile section of
Route 501 north of the borough
afte)’ recent road test showed a
need for improvement.
The road tests were conduct­ed
with the Highway Depart-
, ment skid-test machine in re­sponse
to a request from War­wick
Twp supervisors.
The supervisors requested the
tests as a result, of two traffic
fatalities on the short strip of
road on Oct. 18 and Oct. 19,
while it was raining.
The township officials said
that the road,' Which was resur­faced
this Summer, was “like
glass” when wet.
Robert M. Slovinac, District
8 plans engineer, said that the
slick test, made with a machine
that measures road surface fric­tion,
showed that “it could be
improved.”
W. W. Kline, assistant super­intendent
on the job, declared
that after the work is done “the
highway shouldn’t give any
more trouble.”
Twelve men were on the job
last week, working with two
graders, a heating machine and
a truck.
J Slovinac and Kline explained
that the roughening process in­volves
removal of oil from the
highway surfacing.
The burner, driven over thè
surface, draws out the oil. A
grader follows and breaks the
oil into small particles. The
second grader then sweeps the
surfaced oil to the side of the
road to be shoveled into the
truck. ;
The accidents, which resulted
in the road repairs preject, oc-fcurred
within a -quarter o£ .a
mile area just north of the
borough.

Griswold Family Delighted'
With Italian AFS Student
“Things are going along very
well with the American Field
Service student who is living
with us,” exclaimed the Gris­wold
family. “We are looking
forward to a delightful and re­warding
experience.”
The Griswold’s became inter­ested
in hosting an AFS student
when they heard favorable com­ments
and impressions given by
other families who had previous­ly
served as hosts. The dire
need for homes for the students
in the local area also was a de­termining
factor in their deci­sion.
The Griswold’s applied as a
host family for the 1968-69 term,
expressing- 'their ..preference., for
a boy. After -some uncertainty,
they were notified they

The Warwick School Board at
a special meeting. Monday night
approved an application to the
Pennsylvania Department of
Public Instruction setting the
cost of the proposed middle
school at $4,775.000.
The cost figure for new
school, designed to house 1100
students in grades six, seven
and eight, is the areitects esti­mate
and includes $65,000. for
he 34 acre site.
it is considered to be a “liber­al
estimate” with the hope that
actual construction bids may
come in somewhat lower.
Included in the total cost is
architects and attorney- fees,
site development, kitchen equip­ment
and furnishings such as
desks, etc.
The actual building cost is
estimated at $27.11 per square
foot for the 152,840 square foot
school.
The estimated rental is $376i-
276. per year. This is the
amount that must be paid to
satisfy the bond issue and in­terest.
The rental would most
likely have to be included in
the new school budget starting
luly 1, 1969. A rental of $374;-
276. for the new school would
be about $30,000 per year high­er
than that now paid in total
cm the High School, Kissel Hill
and John Beck Elementary
schools and renovations done in
the past to Lititz and Rothsviiie
Elementary schools.
