Its Future
Due to extenuating circum­stances
the Open House schedul­ed
for tonight’s P.T.A. meeting
will have to be held during Na­tional
Education Week, Novem-
10 to 14. In its place a general
meeting will be held.
During the past few years
there has been a problem de­veloping
which must come to
light this year. What is the fu­ture
of Lititz Elementary
School’s P.T.A? This is a ques­tion
which is being asked by
many persons within the school
community.
Over the last several years
membership has slipped — par­ticularly
active membership.
Since attendance at monthly
meetings dropped so significant­ly
last year the question now is
what is P.T.A. future? The
teachers over the past years
have turned out with 100% at­tendance
records. Parents are
also needed to make the organi­zation
a success. Please turn out
and help determine the P.T.A.
future.
The meeting will be held in
the Lititz Elementary cafeteria

Trick Or Treat
Nights Set
This year Halloween “Trick
or Treat” nights in Lititz will be
held 30 and 31 October only, it
was announced by the Borough
Police Dept.
These dates include the even­ing
of the Lititz Lions Club An­nual
Halloween Parade and Hal­loween
evening. It has been re­ported
to police that some of
the “Bellschnicklers” have been
operating too early in the sea­son
and too frequently.
By naming Thursday and Fri­day
as Trick or Treat nights,
the “Goblins” will have plenty
of time in which to make their
visits and our residents will not
be harassed weeks before the
Halloween Season arrives.
The Police Dept, will have ex­tra
patrols out during Hallo­ween
Season and anyone caught
causing wanton destruction of
property will be prosecuted.

Foodergong Purchased By Firm
Headed By William Scatchard III
William Scatchard III, a Lit­itz
native, is one of the owners
of the newly formed Fooder­gong
Properties, Incorporated
which purchased Ephrata’s
Foodergong Lodge yesterday.
The new owners plan to spend
an estimated-$750,000 on expan­sion
of the lodge complex.
Scatchard, who has most recent­ly
been an executive with Play­boy
Clubs, is president and gen­eral
manager of the new cor­poration.
Tuesday, Scatchard said, his
firm’s immediate plans call for
adding 50 more rooms to the
60-room lodge. Taking a cue
from Playboy, Scatchard said
some of the rooms will have
round beds. As part of what he
called the “overall upgrading.”
Scatchard said some parts of the
lodge will also be redecorated.
The new owners aim to turn
some of the Foodergong’s 55
acres into ski slopes, complete
with ski chalet. According to
Scatchard, plans for the ski area
are in the final stages and he ex­pects
to have it ready for the
1970 season. The chalet will “of­fer
apres skiers the charm and
activity they might find in Ver­mont
or Colorado,” he said.
In the estimated $750,000 ex­pansion
program, Scatchard
said, one of the lodge’s two din­ing
rooms, The Rib-in-The-
Round, will be enlarged. May,
1970 is target date for comple­tion
of the building and reno­vating
project.
Scatchard, 33, returns to the
area after eleven years. A form­er
Navy officer, he was manager
of Playboy clubs and hotels in
Manila, Cincinnati and New Or­leans.
Most recently he was
managing director of a $20-mil-lion
resort hotel at Lake Gene­va,
Wisconsin.

and expects to move here from
Wisconsin with is wife and two

In addition to the president,
the three other men who share
in the ownership of Foodergong
Properties, Inc. are David S.
Meyers, a Lancaster insurance
executive; Howard Rubin, a
Lancaster attorney and Joseph
G. Succa o f1 Camp Hill, part
owner of the Conestoga Trans­portation

The foursome bought the
Foodergong from Richard and

restaurant lodge in 1959.
Early Dismissal
“All elementary schools will
be dismissed at 3:00 p.m. Mon­day,
October 20, 1969. The High
School will be closed October 20

Construction
Contract To Be
Let In November
Bids opened last Thursday by
the Warwick School Authority
for construction of the Middle
School were about 2% over pre­liminary
estimates.
Superintendent Dr. Curvin C.
Smith said he now felt it would
be possible to let the bids
around the middle of November
and hopefully ground would he
broken later in the same month.
Apparent low bids totalled
$3,991,635. The bids will be
studied at a special meeting to­night
of the school board’s pro­perty
committee and the archi­tect.
The hoard will recommend
to the authority which contracts
to accept at a special meeting
Oct. 23.
Also present at that meeting
will be the district’s bonding
agents who will recommend
what bond financing to use.
Interest Rate
The project had been held up
when the hoard found it was
doubtful that the district could
sell its bonds under present
market conditions at the six
per cent rate limit set by ths
state.
“We can sell them now,” said
Dr. Smith, because of the state
legislature’s action recently
raising the limit to seven per
cent.
