is $2.00 and must accompany
the application. Entries are to
be mailed to Mr. R. A. Eichholtz,
107 West End Avenue, Lititz,

An herb garden is in the mak­ing
in Lititz that should be a
credit to the community. While
this was one of the first projects
planned for the back yard of
the Mueller House, all that was
known by the Historical Foun­dation
was that “it had to be
close to the kitchen door”.
First, an overall plan had to
be made of the yard, and thanks
to the efforts of McCloud and
Scatchard this is now available.
This beautiful drawing, contri­buted
by this firm, is now on
view in the Mueller House. The
first move was by Bill Light
who provided enough top soil to
form a 15’ by 18’ herb garden at

the right level, and at the right
place.
Thanks to the thirty herbs
contributed by Mrs. Vera Albert
of Mt. Joy and Dr. John Price of
Lancaster, the Conservation
Committee of the Woman’s Club
can now move in and take over.
Mrs. Harold Zander heads this
group and the following avid
gardeners have volunteered to
take on the herb garden pro­ject:
Mrs. Hiram Eberly, chair­man,
Mrs. Curtis Amidon, Mrs.
Paul Balmer, Mrs .Clyde Ben­ner,
Mrs. Valentine Brobst, Mrs.
Ford Gochenaur, Mrs. Charles
Landis, Jr., Mrs. Howard Lebo,
Mrs. Howard Minnich, Mrs. Ed­ward
C. Pelger, Mrs. Verne Por­ter,
Jr., Mrs. Frank Wolf and
Mrs. Richard Yotter.
Herb gardening entails con­siderable
know-how and Dr.
John Price saw to it that they
got off to a good start. Meeting
with the group last week he
gave an excellent talk on his
favorite hobby. He explained
how his garden wakens early in
spring to provide new zest for
the salad bowl with the new tar­ragon
leaves and the first green
shoots of chives. From then on
until frost one never leaves the
garden empty handed. There
are always flowers and fragrant
foliage for the house; new sea­sonings
for the meat loaf, fresh
green leaves for the salad. By
October the gardener can look
over a row of small glass jars
holding the dried leaves of the
cooking herbs — sage, summer
savory, sweet basil, winter sa­vory,
spearmint, sweet marjor­am,
tarragon, rosemary and dill.
Whole leaves of herb teas are
also preserved.

Embarks On Rat
Control Program
The Warwick Township Su­pervisors
have embarked on a
“Rat Control” program in areas
throughout the Township where
this problem exists. Members of
the Brunnerville and Rothsville
Fire Companies are assisting
the Supervisors in placing Poi­son
Feeding Stations in these
areas.
The Supervisors are taking
every precaution in the protec­tion
of animals, however they
ask the residents of the Town­ship
not to allow dogs or cats to
run at large as the Supervisors
cannot be responsible for their
safety. This program will be
continued as long as is neces­sary
to control the problem.
of each herb as it comes to
bloom, at the peak of fragrance,
are brought into the house.
These are plants with a long
history of usefulness to man­kind,
in medicine, in cooking,
and for many pleasant purposes
around the house. Some of these
were used by the Indians for
centuries, but many date back
to ancient Egypt. Who knows
but that the increasing interest
in raising herbs might make the
modern TV dinners palatable.
The Lititz Historical Founda­tion
will sponsor its eighth an­nual
Antique Show and Sale at
the Bobst Recreation Center,
Lititz, July 3 and 4.
The show, held jointly with
the Annual Fourth of July Can­dle
Pageant in the Lititz Springs
Park, is for the benefit of re­storation
of the Johanna Muel­ler
House and its adjoining
grounds, purchased as a home
for the Foundation, and the
Kline Barn, located on Front
and Water Streets, Lititz. The
show is under the chairman­ship
of Mrs. Glenn McElroy of
Lititz.
A large portion of the restora­tion
of the Meuller House has
been accomplished from the
proceeds of previous antique
shows sponsored by the Founda­tion.
Located at 137-139 East
Main Street, Lititz, the house
was built in 1792 and is an ex­cellent
example of the architec­ture
so typical of Lititz in the
18th and 19th centuries.
It is furnished in an authentic
manner, typical of many arti­san’s
homes in Lititz at that
time. Also of interest are the
museum rooms, displaying an
outstanding collection of Lehn-ware
and other rare artifacts.
The Mueller House is open Wed­nesday,
Thursday, Friday, Sat­urday

p.m. until 4 p.m.

At a meeting Monday night of
about 80 teachers of the War­wick
Education Association it
was voted unanimously to con­tact
the school hoard in an at­tempt
to arrange a meeting.
The teachers meeting was held
to decide on a course of action
following the school board’s
support of Dr. Curvin Smith,
superintendent, ove r Dr.
Smith’s resignation hassle with
the WEA.
The teachers decided on this
course of action rather than call
for an outside investigation, ac­cording
to Douglas Minnich,
president and William Hazlett,
vice president. ;
They said they were attempt­ing
to resolve their differences
with the board and Smith with­out
outside help. And, that two
members of the board had con­tacted
them suggesting a meet­ing.
Evidently several board mem­bers
and a committee from the
WEA will attempt to meet next
week. Minnich and Hazlett both
expressed hope that such a
meeting could be arranged. It
was not made clear what part
Dr. Smith would play in any
meeting. However, Tuesday
there was a meeting with, two
board members, Minnich, Haz­lett
and Dr. Smith.
Raymond Groff, a board mem­ber
from Rothsville, said “there
definitely would be a meeting”
but he was not certain as to the
participants.
Last Friday Minnich and
Hazlett spoke out in response
to the board’s action on Tues­day.
They released a statement
about their conflict and includ­ed
a list of “unsatisfactory con­ditions”
about which they claim
nothing has been done despite
recurring complaints by faculty.
The 12 points:
1— Lack of definite adminis­trative
action against students
who are chronic offenders of
school regulations;
2— Lack of consistency in en­forcing
regulations;
3— Lack of support for indi­vidual
teacher discipline by the
administration;
4— Lack of concern to keep
and attract experienced teach­ers;
5— The inordinate ability of
laymen to bring undue pres­sure
to bear on purely educa­tional
concerns;
6— The failure of adminis­trators
to consider teacher rec­ommendations
on educational
decision;
7— The failure to coordinate
educational programs in the ele­mentary
system;
8— A lack of concern for
