Tentative agreement was
reached on disputed sections of
the 1970-71 Warwick School Dis­trict
teacher wage-benefit pack­age
at a joint meeting Monday
r.ight of the Warwick School
Board and Warwick Education
Association, it was learned.
Paul Wissler, school board
president, and William IlazletL,
WEA president, confirmed that
agreement was reached.
The school board is slated to
officially adopt the new agree­ment
and wage scale, as well as
the overall school budget for
1970-71, at its meeting at 7 p.m.
tonight (Thursday).
Wissler said he knows of no
reason why the new agreement
and salary schedule will not pass
routinely Thursday. But else-
■ where, it was learned that some
proposals are being considered
by some board members that
would cut the non-salary portion
of the propo’sed budget by as
much as two mills.
The proposed $3.4 million
budget calls for a tax increase of
six mills. Each mil] generates
new taxes totaling about $16,200.
A two-mill cut would involve
about-$32,000.
The WEA previously had ap­proved
an agreement and salary
schedule which differs on only a
handful of points, none ot them
considered major by most offic­ials,,
with the proposal agreed on
at Monday night’s meeting.
At the school board meeting-on
June 16, the WEA had ob-
Fresh Air Youngsters
Coming To Local Area
Fresh Air youngsters from
New York will be coming to the
local area for a two week vaca­tion.
Persons interested in being-hosts
to these children are asked
to contact Mrs. Clarence Bru­baker,
626-6253; Mrs. Amos
Cassel, 626-2558 or Mrs. Clair
Zug, 626-6801.
The youngsters will arrive Jujy
9th, July 23 and August 6, and
remain for two weeks.
jected to changes made in the
agreement the WEA member­ship
had ratified and said the
changes showed “bad faith.” The
school board said the .changes
were made by the board’s solici­tor,
Roger Reist, in order to
make the document conform
with state law.
Monday night’s meeting to iron
out the disagreement was al-tended
by all nine board mem­bers
and Reist, along with
Hazlett and Jack Neal, PSEA
representative for the southern
region. Three other WEA mem­bers
present were: Douglas
Minnich, Richard Pohner and
Leon deFernelmont.
According to accounts from
Wissler and Hazlett, the school
Lester Flati Show Set
For 4th Entertainment
A new program of music will
be presented during the after­noon
July 4th in the Lititz
Springs Park. The “Lester Flatt
Show” will be featured. Perfor­mances
will be given at 2, 4 and
6 p.m.
Flatt, who plays guitar, is a
master at entertaining and per­forming.
He has achieved a
permanent spot in the hearts of
millions of country music lovers
-t-h.e world.over with his sincere
presentations.
In addition to being a famous
singer, the Tennessee native is a
network TV star, successful song
writer, businessman, farmer and
in his spare time, an avid fisher­man.
His enormously popular TV
show continues to delight audi­ences
across the country. And he
continues week after week to be
heard doing the catchy theme
song, “The Ballad of Jed Clam-pett,”
on the perennial CBS fav­orite,
“The Beverly Hillbillies."
More and more, in recent
years, people have described the
Lester Flatt sound as “bluegrass”
music. The term, however, fails
to cover the wide range of songs,
including both folk and country
music, that Flatt and his group
perform.
•Appearing on the-show will be:
Paul Warren, fiddle; Cousin Jake
(E. P. Tuliock Jr.,) bass player;
» Lester Flatt
Uncle Josh (Buck Grover) gobro
guitar; Vic Jordan, banjo and
Ronald White, mandolin.
Admission to the show will be
$1. Picnic facilities and conces­sion
stand will be available. The
Rohrerslown Band will perform
aL7:15 p.m. and at 10:30 p.m.
board conceded the majority of
the WEA’s objections; either cor­rections
or revisions wore made
or the item was eliminated in
most instances, although some
items were modified from the
previously WEA approved agree­ment.
Reports from Wissler and
Hazlett indicated -the following
agreements:
—On extra pay to teachers for
credits received in addition to
the Masters Degree, the board
partially agreed to the teacher
objection. The board previously
had indicated credit for bonus
pay would only be allowed for
credits earned after the Masters
Degree was received. In the new
agreement, the board agreed to
allow pay for graduate credits
but not for undergraduate credits
after the MA was received.
—The board removed the con­tested
section on teacher no-sirike
provision. Such a provi­sion
is already contained in state
law.
—On the issue of teachers pro­viding
a written request one
week in advance in order to get
two days of absence, the board
removed the time restriction but
kept the written provision.
—A new clause providing that
if one section of the agreement
is found invalid by “competent
legal jurisdiction” the rest will
continue was retained after Reist
explained that legal jurisdiction
refers to the courts.
—Wording of teacher in the
agreement was changed to “pro­fessional
employe.”
—The time required for re­turning
fo school to teach was
changed from a complete school
year to six months after delivery
of a baby.
—On the section on administra­tion
cooperation on grievances,
which had been deleted, the
board agreed the administration
would cooperate, but the griev­ance
must be in writing from
the person involved.
Cyprian Youth Enjoys Year Here
By Rat Wilson
Record-Express Feature Writer
A Cyprian youth who spent
nearly a year in Lititz .as an
American Field Service ex­change
student will leave for
home shortly; but, he’ll take
with him the desire to return to
the 'United States to finish his
education as soon as he ban ar­range
it.
He is 17-year-old Michalakis
Toumazou, who prefers to be
called “Mike,” who comes from
Famagusta, Cyprus.
Interviewed recently at the
home of his “exchange parents,”
Dr. and Mrs. Charles Eshelman,
237 S. Broad St., Mike discussed
some of his activities during the
past year and compared life in
Lancaster County with life in his
home town.
Although this was the first
time he had ever left Cyprus,
Mike wasn’t homesick, probably
because he was too busy, he
admitted.
Besides carrying a full load of
senior courses at. Warwick High
School, Mike went out for the
school’s track team, took in most
of its football and basketball
games and traveled quite a bit
during the year.
The courses he studied this
year were physical education,
English, French, Problems of
Democracy, mathematics, phys­ics,
and mechanical drawing.
Although he had studied
English at home, he experienced
some difficulty with the language
here. “It was my biggest prob­lem,”
he said. Mike’s native lan­guage
is Greek.
Asked to compare schools and
teenage life here and in Cyprus,
Mike said, “The subjects are
much easier here. School in Cy­prus
-is different for boys and
girls.” He meant that boys and
girls go to separate schools.
Although a senior at Warwick,
Mike must attend secondary
school (called “gymnasium”) for
one more year in Cyprus. Then,
before he may leave the island
again to further his education, he
must spend three years in the
service.
- What would he like to do then?
“1 plan to go to a university,”
he explained, adding that he is
now most interested in studying
engineering. He’d like to come
back to the states for his college
training.
Mike explained that on Cyprus
there are no universities. The
only higher education available
there is training for elementary
school teachers. Others must
leave the island, perhaps to go to
Athens, Greece, or elsewhere.
“Our schools are more strict,”
he went on with his comparison.
“We have curfews and we must
wear uniforms. We can’t go to
the movies every night—only on
weekends.”
What appealed to him most
about the Garden Spot area? “I
liked -the seasons,” Mike said,
“especially the fall. The colored
leaves were impressive.”
Mike, like many regular tour­ists,
was taken to visit an Amish
farm. What did he think of the
Amish way of life? “Very in­teresting,”
he said. “I think they
must be very good people.”
Lancaster County had a rather
hard winter and Mike was quite
impressed with the weather. “It
never snows at home,” he ex­plained.
“Snow was something
new. But it was very cold for
me.” He added that it sometimes
gets as cold as 30 degrees in
Cyprus but never snows. The
summer is a dry season while
winters are rainy but, altogether,
it rains much less there.
Mike also liked the green of
ttie area, something' many visitors
from the Mediterranean area
mention. He liked the gardens
around the homes and the many
trees and shrubs.
He "was impressed with the
over-all wealth, too. “There are
more cars” he said “More people
have good, rich homes.” Asked to
compare our economic strata
with that back home, he ex­plained
that the classes are about
-the same — well-to-do, middle
class and poor—but theirs all
have less.
Mike is fond of sports and en­joyed
his experience with the
-Warwick track team. He won
third place in a track meet. He
also enjoyed the spectator sports.
There is not so much variety
in sports in Cyprian schools, he
explained. They have volleyball,
basketball and track. There are
also tennis clubs outside the
schools.
Chamber of Commerce Hears
About Downtown Improvement
In a talk to the Lititz Chamber
of Commerce recently, Robert
Derek presented possible ideas
for the beautification of the Cen­tral
Business District in down­town
Lititz.
According to Derek, of Mc­Cloud,
Scatchard, Derek and
Edson, who are designers of the
overall central business district
plan, the area from Broad fo
Cedar Street and Juniper Lane to
the Lititz Springs Creek are
encompassed in the plan. It will
include coordination of vehicle
and pedestrian traffic, parking
areas, and landscaped plazas.
While the major portion of the
plan is still in its infancy, Derek
cited numerous improvements
that have already been made by
local merchants, such as the re­moval
of the theater marquee,
the face-lifting of Bingeman’s
Restaurant, Harry Buchter’s and
Frank Ford’s buildings. He
stated that this kind of under­taking
will require support of
everyone, including the borough
government, which has aDpro-priated
$800 for the overall plan.
Derek mphasized the unique
qualities of the downtown area
including the Washington lamp
post lighting, the trees, and the
numerous possibilities for the
already existing buildings.
Since the shopping center is
not located on the main traffic
route through Lititz, a good por­tion
of the traffic is eliminated,

has just completed a year at Warwick High School, displays
an embroidered linen tablecloth and small copper slippers
from his native country.
At home, he likes to spend
much of his time outdoors on the
beach. He lives just a short dis­tance
from the Mediterranean
Sea and enjoys under-water
fishing.
Also active in Boy Scouting on
Cyprus, Mike has been a member
cf a troop for five years and was-
Chief of Wolf Scouts before
coming to the states.
His city of about 45,000 in­habitants
is the chief sea port
on the island. Exporting and the
