Supervisors
Asked To
Change Zoning
The Warwick Township Su­pervisors
received a request for
a zoning map change during a
meeting last Thursday evening.
The request made by C. Wil­liam
and Pauline R. Risser, Lit­itz
Rl, asked that a part resi­dential
and rural area be
changed to a commercial clas­sification
so that they could
erect a garage for the storage
of trucks.
The area in question is locat­ed
at a point which begins 400
feet south of Chestnut Street
for 110 feet to a depth of 250
feet.
The Supervisors appointed
the firm of Jacoby, Montgomery
and Thomlinson to collect de­linquent
1968 per capita taxes.
All recent truck bids were re­jected
and rebids for a dump
truck will be taken.
During the meeting, the super­visors
adopted an ordinance
creating the Warwick Township
Municipal Authority.
The Township zoning officer,
Joseph Snavely reported a to­tal
of $171,450 building per­mits
issued for the month of
March.

Record-Express
Observes 93rd
Anniversary
The Lititz Record-Express is
observing its ninety-third anni­versary
this week.
] The paper was founded as the
Sunbeam by John G. Zook, who
I continued as editor for many
| years. The Sunbeam office was
located at 22 E. Main St., where
! Kreider’s TV was formerly lo­cated,
now Charlotte’s Apparel
Shop, and originally was a
monthly publication, 9 by 12
i inches in size.
Its name was changed to the
Lititz Express in 1881. Mean­while,
the Lititz Record had
| been founded elsewhere by
I Frank Buch in 1877, and merg­ed
with the Express in 1937,
when it became the Record-
Express.
Ralph Buch, son of Frank,
succeeded his father as owner
of the Record and 34 years ago
sold out to Edward Fulweiler
and James R. Johnson. They
in turn sold the merged paper
to William Young, who continu­ed
as publisher and editor for
nearly 25 years.
In January of 1962, the paper
was acquired by the present
owner-editor, Robert G. Camp­bell.

Firemen Extinguish
Blaze At Wilbur
Chocolate Company
A fire at Wilbur Chocolate
Company, 40 N. Broad St. at
5:25 a.m. Wednesday morning
kept Lititz firemen working
for about 45 minutes to bring
the blaze under control. The
fire caused considerable dam­age
to the building.
Martin Gibble, a company
employee, discovered the fire
and sent an alarm to the Lititz
Fire Company.
The fire, according to Fire
Chief Ammon Shelly, was con­fined
in the three-story high
cocoa processing department,
which is located in an area 70
feet above the ground. Because
of the height of the fire, the
Manheim Fire Company was
summoned to bring their aerial
truck to assist the firemen in
getting eqiupment up to the
cocoa room where the fire was
burning in wall partitions.
Chief Shelly was unable to
determine the cause of the blaze
or to estimate the damage in­curred.
He did state the fire
was one of the worst the com­pany
has had in the last 20
years. It was also noted that
there will be some loss in pro­duction
due to the resulting
damage.
Grass Fire
The Lititz Fire Company was
called to extinguish a grass fire
in a field along W. Orange St. in
the vicinity of the new Lutheran
.Church, at 12:10 p.m. Wednes­day.
The Warwick School Authori­ty
and school board met Mon­day
night to hear bonding pro­posals
for the new middle
school.
Three bonding companies
made presentations from which
the school authority selected
Kidder Peabody and Company,
Inc., Fulton Bank Building,
Lancaster as bond counsel. This
firm handled the authority’s
financing on several past bond
issues.
Robert Huber, chairman of
the authority, said a contract
with Kidder Peabody will be
signed in the near future. Huber
said the authority discussed at
length the various proposals
and then selected Kidder Pea­body.
Because of the tight and
fluctuating money market an
estimate of the bonding interest
was not available.
A recent architect’s estimate
placed the cost of the school at
4% million. However, it was em­phasized
that this figure is
strictly an estimate because of
changing costs in construction.
