Warwick Township Unveils
Ne w Summer Street Program
Widening of several roads is
on the summer agenda of the
Warwick Township Board of
Supervisors, according to plans
made at a recent meeting.
Approval for the use of Coun­ty
Aid funds to widen Landis
Valley road was received, ac­cording
to Chairman of the
Supervisors Robert Gibble.
Landis Valley Road from the
intersection of Owl Hill Road to
a point approximately 772 feet
east of the intersection will be
widened to 24 feet. The section
is now reported to be 12 to 13
feet wide.
A portion of Landis Valley
Road measuring 210 feet is lo­cated
in Lititz Borough, where
the cartway is 24 feet, so the
supervisors decided to widen
(he entire length to conform to
the Borough’s width.
Warwick Township will be
responsible for widening the
entire length of road and will
be reimbursed by the Borough
for the work done on the por­tion
of the road located in the
Borough.
Special white lines will be
painted on the road to provide
a walkway for children who at­tend
Kissel Hill Elementary
School, located on Landis Val­ley
Road.
No Moi! Deliveries
Th is Saturday
There will be no window ser­vice
at the Lititz Post Office or
deliveries to the rural routes —
only special deliveries in town
Saturday. However, the Post Of­fice
lobby will be open from 7 to
5 p.m. Normal service will be
conducted Friday.
Old School Pictures?
Have any school pictures
stored away from way back
when?
If so, why not share them
with Record-Express readers?
Mail or bring them to the
Lititz Record-Express,. 22 E.
Main St., Lititz and, if they’re
suitable, we’ll print and re­turn
them at no cost.
Wc don’t have any clear-cut
definition of what’s old, but
the pictures should be dated
before 1940.
A recent letter from Mrs.
Patricia Ross, secretary of the
Kissel Hill Parent-Teacher As­sociation,
prompted the deci­sion
to provide the markers.
Pier letter expressed concern
for the safety of children who
must walk along Landis Valiev
Road on their way to and from
school.
Last year, a five-year-old boy
was struck by a car and injured
while crossing the road to take
an umbrella to his sister who
was coming home from school.
Other incidents and close
calls have frightened parents,
so letters were sent to the War­wick
School District, Lititz
Borough and the Pennsylvania
Department of Highways.
The Township had been hold­ing
off on the widening because
of plans to install a sewer sys­tem
in Kissel Hill, but this has
been delayed.
Secretary of the Warwick
Township Supervisors, Richard
Holder, explained the Board’s
plans for widening the road,
and Mrs. Ross replied to ex­press
the PTA’s satisfaction
with the plans.
Plans were also made to
widen Clay Road to 18 feet
from Lincoln Road to the Town­ship
line at the Clay Road
Bridge, with the- bridge ap­proach
being widened to 24 it.
This work will complete the
Clay Road widening program
for that portion of the road
which is in Township Road.
That part of Clay Road from
Pine Hill Road to Newport
Road is a Pennsylvania legisla­tive
road and is the responsi­bility
of the Pennsylvania De­partment
of Highways.
Chairman Gibble stated that
application for approval for the
widening of part of Carpenter
Road and part of Lititz Run
Road will be made shortly. This
woi'k is to be financed with
funds from the liquid fuels lax
account.
The Township Board of
Supervisors moved, at its re­cent
meeting, to deiete the
widening of -Lime Rock Road
from its 1970 schedule of road
improvement.
It was decided that the pre­sence
of utility poles close to
the road’s edge on either side
will make the widening too dif­ficult
and expensive at this
time.
Mrs. Bruce Earhart, museum hostess, admires an an­tique
baby carriage recently acquired at the Johannes
Mueller House, E. Main St., Lititz. The rag doll, in the
carriage, on loan to the museum by a local woman, is close
to a hundred years old.

Possibly the best vacation could
be spent in your own back yard,
visiting the local tourist attrac­tions.
The Johannes Muller H ruse

start. Lititz has a wonderful her­itage.
This town was put here
-for a reason; it did not happen

Lititz, Manheim Boroughs Approve
Two-Cents Per Capita for New COG
Lititz and Manheim boroughs
both approved initial funding for
the planned new Council of Gov­ernments
in separate meetings
Tuesday night.
The municipalities approved a
two-ccnts per capita contribution
to defray administrative costs of
the new COG.
Warwick and Elizabeth Town­ships
previously had taken sim­ilar
action.
The Lititz contribution totals
$119.74, while Manheim agreed
to $95.80. The Warwick Town­ship
share is $94.32 and Eliza­beth
Township agreed to $3U10.
Two townships, Penn and Rap-ho,
still have not acted on the
proposal.
Penn Township officials report­edly
said they would not agree
to it unless Manheim did, while
Rapho meets on it June 6.
At a recent meeting, officials
indicated the new COG would be
patterned after the COG that is
much further developed in the
Ephrata-Akron area. Besides
bringing officials of the various
municipalities together,- thereby
enabling them to discuss ideas
and exchange information, the
COG could be instrumental in
helping the municipalities to
solve joint problems in the fu­ture,
it was reported. '
Council awarded a water
main improvement contract
totalling $44,765 to James Fa-vino,
Red Lion.

High School Graduation

“Youth Involvement Overview”;
Linda L. dcFemelmont, “Invol­vement
in Education”: Lydia
Kowalewski, “Involvement in
Discipline Children, Treat Them As Individuals
By Pat Wilson
Record-Express Feature Writer
“Children are not miniature
adults; they are not carbon cop­ies
of ourselves.”
So stated Mrs. George Russo,
a well-known area photographer
specializing in dramatic portrials
of children.
Addressing a recent meeting of
the Lititz Welcome Wagon Club,
Mrs. Russo called upon her years
of experience as a mother, den
mother, Parent-Teacher Asso­ciation
president and successful
handler of children to discuss
some of the attributes she has
learned pertain to children in
general.
“Children don’t do anything
the way adults do,” Mrs. Russo
said.
Demonstrating that adults can
concentrate on something for
only a very short time, Mrs. Rus­so
placed upon her easel a three-dimensional
drawing of a box
and asked her audience to con­centrate
on it for a half-minute.
“Does it seem to turn over?”
she asked. As most in the aud­ience
nodded and smiled their
agreement, the speaker explain­ed
that this demonstrated a lack
of concentration — in other
words, a short attention span.
“The average adult’s compre­hension
span is between three
and five seconds,” she explained,
“so how can we expect children
to do something we can’t do?”
“No two children are alike,”
Mrs. Russo went on, placing on
her easel a card listing the three
main types of children — the
thin, shy, sensitive type; the
plump, jolly, out-going type;
and the sturdy, athletic, noisy
type.
These attributes, she explained,
are not just physical but emo­tional
as well, and “Each must
be handled differently.”
The muscular fellow — or girl,
for that matter — is noisy, ac­tive.
“He gets on your nerves.”
“Because we don’t understand
this type ot child, we try to make
him quiet down. This causes him
to suffer,” she explained.
On the other hand, “The quiet
type, we try to make more so-ciai.”
and this is just as hard on
him as the opposite is on his
counterpart.
“The plump child needs affec­tion
more than food,” Mrs. Russo
went on.
Children’s actions are based 90
per cent on how we treat them—
on our understanding or lack of
it, she added. “What we put out
to them in our 90 per cent comes
back to us in their 10 per cent,”
she added.
“When a child is being naughty
it’s because he wants and needs
attention,” the speaker emphasiz­ed,
adding that each and every
child needs attention geared to
him personally and individually,
r.o matter which type fits him.
Each child has different inter-esls,
drives and responses and
no two are alike, Mrs. Russo em­phasized.
“It’s not true that to be
fair to your children, you must
treat them ail alike,” she added,
stressing that this common con­cept
is false.
■ So — how do we punish our
children if we are to treat them
according to type?
'The punishment must fit the
child, the speaker said. A noisy
child should be made to sit still
and be quiet because this is hard
for him to do.
The quiet, shy,, sensitive type
often profits most from a quiet
talking-to. And, the best punish­ment
for the fat child is, obvious­ly,
to deprive him of sweets or
