Local Man Enjoys
Attending Inaugural
To Carl V. Reedy, 438 South
Spruce St., Lititz, attending an
inauguration is not a new ex­perience.
He was present in
Washington in 1921 when War­ren
Harding took the oath, and
also traveled to the nation’s
capital for the swearing in of
Herbert Hoover and twice for
Gen. Dwight Eisenhower.
In 1921, Reedy recalls, he
stood less than 20 feet from
Harding with only members of
the band separating him from
the new president.

Lancaster County’s 671 stu­dents
last year were awarded
$495,550. The County scholar­ship,
fund total this year increas­ed
54 per cent over the last
year.
T h e Pennsylvania Higher
Education Assistance Agency
noted that the increase resulted
because this is the fourth year
of the program and most col­leges
have four year courses.
Requirements and needs an­alysis
have been stiffened by
the agency since they received
considerable criticism last May
when the first names of reci­pients
were announced. The
agency has .cut down the maxi­mum
award from $1,200 to $800.
However, the program, the pro­gram
still has almost doubled.
Township Land
To Be Mined
For Limestone
The Callahan Mining Com­pany,
a national mining com­pany,
has purchased or taken
option on 2,300 acres of land
rich in limestone deposits in
three townships.
The company, it is reported,
expects to begin quarrying oper­ations
sometime in 1969. The
township areas are divided be­tween
West Cocalico and Eliza­beth
Townships, with a sliver in
Warwick Township.
The land optioned is near
Speedwell Forge Lake, Bricker-ville,
Brunnerville and the Den­ver
Borough.
The scholarship awards re­sult
from four scholarship
groups:
,—Group I includes awards
to 5.000 students attaining the
highest college board scholar­ship
aptitude test scores, re­gardless
of need;
—Group IIA, students with
800 or above SAT scores, at-t
e n d i n g degree - granting
schools;
-—Group IIB, students attend­ing
non-degree schools — trade,
technical; business or nursing;
and —Group III, upperclassmen
applying for the first time or
freshman students -who gradu­ated
from high school prior to
1968 attending degree-granting
schools.
Awards are reviewed annual­ly-

look over the rosters for the Adult Classes of the Warwick

the excessive salaries in the pro­posed

Dr. Curvin Smith, Warwick Su­perintendent,

and also stated his opposition to
the budgeted salaries.
In particular the board
thought $16,000 for a Vo Tech
principal and a salary in excess
of $14,000. for a guidance coun­selor
were excessive. These sal­aries
are considerably higher
than that presently paid to prin­cipals
and guidance counselors
in Lancaster County.
Herbert Fry, representative to
the Vo Tech board from War­wick,
will register a protest at
the next Vo Tech Board meet­ing.
The board hired two teachers,
Miss Kay L. Shanaman, to teach
first grade at Kissel Hill Ele­mentary
School at a salary of
$6,000; and Miss Patricia Loom­is,
to teach English at the high
school at a salary of $7,200.
The resignations of Mrs. Mary
Jo Kline and Mrs. Elizabeth
Bower were accepted.
Two school bus contracts for

day, an increase of $45. per day

Rock, for six buses at $216.92
per day, an increase of $25. per
day over last year.
The board announced that 213
persons have signed up for adult
education courses and that the
registration deadline is Monday.
A program suggested by the
student council to install a soft
drink vending machine next to
the gym was approved after
much discussion by a 6 to 3
vote. The student council is to
regulate the machine so it is
used only after school and dur­ing
athletic events. Proceeds
are to be used for support of
the district’s foreign exchange
student program.
The board approved an agree­ment
with Speedier Project to
conduct a pilot program involv­ing
linguistics. One class in each
elementary and secondary will
be tried during the next school
year.
It was announced that foot­ball
receipts during the past sear
son were $2000 less than the
previous year.
Additional substitute teachers
approved were Miss Marie E.
Earley and Harold J. SachWald.
