New Owners Expect To Reopen
The Warwick House In June
The new owners of the War­wick
House, N. Broad Street,
hope to reopen the local land­mark
sometime next month, it
was learned by the Record this
week.
James Engle, 859 Hilton
Drive, Lancaster, is president of
the corporation that purchased
the property. Engle is presently
assistant manager of Jim’s Cafe,
254 E. Frederick St., Lancaster,
and not owner of the cafe as re­ported
by the Record last week.
Engle said he will manage the
Warwick House and the open­ing
date depends on the time
the Pa. Liquor Control Board
approves transfer of the liquor
license to the new owners.
Ray Sweigart, formerly of
Ray’s Hideway, Lancaster, is
vice president of the corpora­tion.
The three other people
having an interest in the cor­poration
were not named, nor
was a purchase price disclosed.

a book. Choral reading followed
which was also taped.
The next assignment was five
minute taped speecnes on topics
of their own choice. The stu­dents
listened to themselves to
see whether they had improved.
Finally, they wrote and present­ed
original commercials in the
form of a puppet show.
The culminating activity for
the unit is the presentation of
“Oliver.” The play, “Oliver” was
a hit on Broadway and more re­cently
the “Best Picture of the
Year.” Our play is an adaptation
of the novel Oliver Twist by
Charles Dickens. The children
helped to re-write a play based
on the book and to this seven
songs were added from the show
by Lionel Bart.: A field trip to
Philadelphia to see the movie
“Oliver” added the incentive tor
the children and made the story-more
meaningful.
The performance will be giv­en
in the Lititz Elementary aud­itorium
and there will be' no
admission charge.
The cast includes: narrator,
Shari Hoag; Mrs. Mann, Becky
Kauffman; Mr. Bumble, Philip

Two present Justices of the
Peace are seeking the Republi­can
nomination of district jus­tice
for the 17th District in
Tuesday’s primary. The new dis­trict
consists of Lititz Borough,
Warwick and Elizabeth Town­ships.
Paul F. Iliehm, 24 S. Broad
Street, presently a Justice of
the Peace in Lititz Borough anc
William H. Darlington, Lititz
R#2, a Justice of the Peace in
Elizabeth Township both seek
the Republican nomination.
The Lancaster County Court
of Common Pleas designated 20
magisterial districts that will
serve Lancaster County beginn­ing
January 1, 1970. Lititz Boro,
Elizabeth and Warwick Town­ships
(which comprises War­wick
School District) was de­signated
District 17. The new
district judge will be elected
in November to take office Jan.
1 and will, as present justice of
the peace commissions expire,
m replace all existing justices of
p j | the peace in the district.
|j || The Court set the salary of
51 the district judge at $7,903.
Salary of the magistrates un­der
the new system will be
$3000. plus 40 cents for each
resident in the district, with a
maximum of $14,000. The 1960
Federal Census for District 17
was 12,258.
Incumbent justices of the
peace and aldermen would, be
permitted to continue function­ing
under the existing fee sys­tem
to the ends of their terms,
which expire variously in Janu­ary
1970, 1972 and 1974.
Under the revised system,
salaries of district justice will
be paid by the state. Fees col­lected
would be turned over to
the counties, which must bear
the costs of offices and expenses
incident to the establishment,
maintenance and operations of
the district justice offices.
