All this is under the capable direction of Robert E. Kauffman who directed Warwick’s first musical “Camelot” last year. Finding his previous experience to be beneficial to both the students and community, Kauffman is again incorporating the ideas of utilizing community resources in enlarging student benefits in this year’s production. Songs, such as “Seventy-Six Trombones”, “Goodnight My Someone”, and “Till There Was You”, are only a few of the familiar musical' numbers in the show. In addition to vocal solos and large chorus numbers, a male quartet harmonizes barbershop style intermittently throughout the play. The musical portion of the production is being directed by Ralph Lehman, a faculty member in the Warwick School District who is an experienced musician in area musical organizations. The vocal management of the show is being handled by Mrs. June Lantz, another faculty member of the Warwick Schools who is also the organist for the Lititz Church of the Brethren. The role of Professor Harold Hill, “The Music Man”, is ably portrayed by John Fahnestock, a senior at Warwick. Sharon Weiler, a junior, will play the Pool Not Damaged Rumors have been circulating throughout town that the Lititz Springs Pool was damaged due to the blasting being done at the new Middle School. According to Borough Manager George Steedle, these rumors are unfounded. The pool will open as scheduled on Memorial Day. School Hike in Warwick School Board'Tuesday night adopted a tentative 1970-71 budget of $3,464,916 calling for a six-mill real estate tax increase. The budget must be set on public display at least 30 days before final adoption and can be changed. The tentative budget was introduced in spite of two major unanswered questions: What will be the final teacher wage settlement? The issue is under non-binding mediation. School officials, however, indicated the school board and teachers are relatively close tu agreement and indicated the the final agreement should be within the proposed budget’s figures. What will happen to the governor’s proposed state budget recommendations on state reimbursement to local districts? The proposed budget assumes that the governor’s recommendations will not hold up and that the school district will be reimbursed under the existing state formula. If the state recommendations hold, however, the school district would be faced with an additional 11- mill real estate tax increase, according' to previous reports from school officials. The proposed budget includes increases for teacher pay* plus some new administrative posi-and Sat. proper Miss Marian, River City's librarian. Ruth Amidon and Jim Halblieb are the town’s leading citizens (the mayor and his wife). “The Music Man” will be presented at Warwick High School Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights, May 21, 22, and 23 at 8:00 p.m. Tickets are available for all three performances from cast members or the high school office. Prices for the Thursday night performance are $1.00 for general admission and $2.00 for reserved section seats. Friday and Saturday night prices are $1.50 for general admission and $2.50 for reserved section seats. Robert C. Rowe of Lebanon County, with the help of a widely split vote between four challengers, won the Republican nomination to the 102nd state representative seat. While placing last overall in the race, the only Lancaster County candidate Irel Buck-waiter of Warwick Township placed first in Lancaster County voting districts. Rowe, who received the party committee endorsement, racked up a large margin in Lebanon, County to win. Only 32 of Rowe’s 1,570 votes were from Lancaster County. Buckwalter got 434 of his 597 total from Lancaster County. George W. Bryce was second in the county with 384 votes, giving the 24-year-old Buck-tions and increased costs for some existing services. The board approved re-enactment of two taxes for 1970-71 at present rates: the one per cent real estate transfer tax and the $5 per capita tax. The overall spending budget is $378,353 higher than estimated $3,086,563 the school expects to spend this year. The estimated spending figure, however, is $151,258 lower than the $3,237,821 the school district had budgeted for this year. In addition, school officials now estimate that revenues for this year will actually be $3,- 305,317 instead of the $3,237,821 that was budgeted. That would be $67,496 more revenue than anticipated. The combination of costs lower than expected and income higher than anticipated for 1969-70 will give the school district an estimated surplus of $218,754 this year to carry into next year. The proposed budget calls for using up this entire surplus next year — plus the additional six mills of tax. Total revenue from the real estate tax, which is pegged to rise from 56 mills to 62 mills, would increase by $110,381 from the present $859,- 560'to $969,941. Since each additional mill of tax generates about $16,200, the total tax increase would generate just under $100,000, leaving a small increase from new construction. The budget calls for $14.000 for the position of assistant superintendent of schools. A new $7,500 items is included for a new staff member in the business office. The business manager’s position is budgeted at $14.000. The present business manager Herbert Fry announced his resignation Tuesday night. Overall, the administration spending budget is up about $19,000 to a total of $105.738 Cost of instruction is set at Lititz Retailers Sale Friday, Sat. And Mon. Lititz retailers are holding a Red Hat Sale Friday, Saturday, and Monday, May 22, 23, and 25. Stores will be open until 9 p.m. Friday. Preston Krebs, President of the local retailers, stated a new feature of this sale is its continuation to include Monday in addition to the weekend. Most stores in the downtown area are participating and shoppers will find hundreds of bargains. Re sure to shop all three days and check the advertisements in this issue of THE RECORD for sale items. Participating' merchants are: Bingeman’s Restaurant, By-ler’s Self-Service, Cam Tech of Lititz, Charlotte’s Shop, Flanagan’s, Glassmyer’s, Hagy’s Western Auto, Harris Variety Center, Henry K. Neff, J. B. Hess, Kathryn’s Flowers & Gifts, Kenyon’s Pastry Shop, Kreider Hardware, Lititz Sewing Center, Lititz Sports Center, Long and Bom-berger, McElroy Pharmacy, Michael’s TV Stereo and Posey’s Garden Center. waiter a 50-vote margin in the county. Overall, Bryce was second with 1,059 votes. J. Kenneth Fahnestock got 609, including 131 from Lancaster County, and Luther M. Swanger 690 votes, only 22 from Lancaster County. Incumbent state Republican senator Clarence Manbeck was an easy victor over John Gilbert. Unofficial tally was 8,891 to 4,146, better than a two to one margin. Manbeck carried the Lancaster County portion of his 48th senatorial district by an even greater margain, ,2,368 to 422. The district includes portions of Lancaster, Lebanon and Berks Counties. In a statewide contest, Philadelphia industrialist Milton Shapp edged out the party $1,774,237 for the coming year, including a four per cent increase for salaries. In addition, the budget includes a $126,000 “budgetary reserve” item some of which will cover additional salary increases now under negotiation. The instruction spending for 1968-69 was $1,496,089. The budget figure for ’69-70 was $1,705,- 111, but the board estimates that only $1,684,295 will actually be spent for instruction this year. Overall, the budget in comparison with the estimate for this year shows an increase for instruction of about $216,000 or about 12.8 per cent. This figure, however, includes some nonsalary item increases. An additional $18,000 is included for four new employees under clerical and secretarial salaries, bringing the total to $38,286. Pay for principals is increased about $16,000 to a total of $81,300. Other "items increased significantly under instruction in comparison to expected expenditures this year include: textbooks, up about $6,000; teaching supplies, up about $12,000; library books and supplies, $5,- 000; audiovisual materials, $1,- 000; in-service training expenses, up $6,000, although the same as the original budget, and other instruction expenses, up $5,000. Herbert E. Fry Herbert Fry Resigns School Business Post Herbert E. Fry, Pfautz Avenue, business manager and secretary of the Warwick School Board resigned Tuesday night. The resignation is effective June 30. Fry had been secretary of the board since 1961. Fry’s letter of resignation stated he was resigning because he had accepted a position with another school district. Questioned after the meeting, Fry said he could not reveal the name of the district because that district wanted to announce his employment. He did state, however, that the district was not in Lancaster County and was larger than Warwick. Fry’s leaving' means two top school posts will, be filled with new men for the September school term. A new superintendent, Dr. H. Dale Winger, was hired just last month. nominee Robert Casey to become the Democratic Party’s candidate for governor. While Shapp lost Lancaster County overall, he carried Lititz Borough and Warwick and Elizabeth Townships by narrow margins in very light voting. Four other candidates received relatively low vote totals. State Senator Ernest Kline, however, won the Democratic nomination for lieutenant governor. William G. Sesler of Erie County won the Democratic nomination for U.S.- Senate easily over two contenders. Frank Mesaros and Nerval D. Reece, In other resultsriiBvolviiTg unopposed candidaes; John ! I. Anspach of Lebanon ; Countv was nominated by Democrats to (Continued on Page 4) The item for teacher salaries is increased to $1,434,271 from the $1,417,066 anticipated this year. This figure, however, does not include most of the $126,000 reserve item. Including the reserve, salary costs are up about 10 per cent. The 10 per cent figure, however, does not include a comparison of teacher numbers. School officials indicated that teacher numbers will hold steady and a drop of one teacher in elementary grades was projected. An official recently indicated that school enrollment apparently is leveling off and increases of enrollment encountered in recent years may not continue into 1970- 71. In pupil personnel services, the budget calls for an increase of about $17,000 to a total of $53,225. This includes a new elementary guidance counselor and a new home and school visitor at $7,000. The visitor would replace a $990 item now handled by a local policeman. Health service costs are up 6.6 per cent to $32,943, including a new $1,130 dental item and a $1,200 increase in medical materials and supplies. Pupil transportation costs are up about $2,000 to a total of $102,293. Plant operation and maintenance shows about a $17,000 increase to a total of $275,692. The increase includes about $17,000 for salaries. A $4,000 increase for operation and maintenance supplies is off-set a similar decrease in contracted services. Fixed charges are up about $20,000 to a total of $174,675, These increases primarily involve $11,000 in the district share of retirement contributions more than $4,000 of . increased social security contributions and more than a $2,000 increase in employe insurance. Contribution ■ to the cafeteria fund, however, is shown down to $5,400 from an estimated $12,045 this year. Contribution to the student activities fund is up nearly $10,- 000 to a total of $25,093. Capital outlay for instructional equipment is up about $20,000 to $30,850. Debt service is up $49,000 from the budget spending estimate of $614,814. The original ‘69-70 budget, however, had called for debt service of $722,810. Officials said the substantial reduction in payments is the result of a change in financing procedures. The reduced debt service payments this year account for. a significant portion of the surplus this year which will be used in next year’s budget. Payments to the area vo-tech schools are increased by more than $9,000 and .payments to (Continued on Page 4) Boro Council Meeting Tuesday Borough Council will make application to the Department of Highways and the Lancaster Co.

The estimated spending figure, however, is $151,258 lower than the $3,237,821 the school district had budgeted for this year. In addition, school officials now estimate that revenues for this year will actually be $3,- 305,317 instead of the $3,237,821 that was budgeted. That would be $67,496 more revenue than anticipated. The combination of costs lower than expected and income higher than anticipated for 1969-70 will give the school district an estimated surplus of $218,754 this year to carry into next year. The proposed budget calls for using up this entire surplus next year — plus the additional six mills of tax. Total revenue from the real estate tax, which is pegged to rise from 56 mills to 62 mills, would increase by $110,381 from the present $859,- 560'to $969,941. Since each additional mill of tax generates about $16,200, the total tax increase would generate just under $100,000, leaving a small increase from new construction. The budget calls for $14.000 for the position of assistant superintendent of schools. A new $7,500 items is included for a new staff member in the business office. The business manager’s position is budgeted at $14.000. The present business manager Herbert Fry announced his resignation Tuesday night. Overall, the administration spending budget is up about $19,000 to a total of $105.738 Cost of instruction is set at Lititz Retailers Sale Friday, Sat. And Mon.

In a statewide contest, Philadelphia industrialist Milton Shapp edged out the party $1,774,237 for the coming year, including a four per cent increase for salaries. In addition, the budget includes a $126,000 “budgetary reserve” item some of which will cover additional salary increases now under negotiation. The instruction spending for 1968-69 was $1,496,089. The budget figure for ’69-70 was $1,705,- 111, but the board estimates that only $1,684,295 will actually be spent for instruction this year. Overall, the budget in comparison with the estimate for this year shows an increase for instruction of about $216,000 or about 12.8 per cent. This figure, however, includes some nonsalary item increases. An additional $18,000 is included for four new employees under clerical and secretarial salaries, bringing the total to $38,286. Pay for principals is increased about $16,000 to a total of $81,300.

The resignation is effective June 30. Fry had been secretary of the board since 1961.

This figure, however, does not include most of the $126,000 reserve item. Including the reserve, salary costs are up about 10 per cent. The 10 per cent figure, however, does not include a comparison of teacher numbers. School officials indicated that teacher numbers will hold steady and a drop of one teacher in elementary grades was projected. An official recently indicated that school enrollment apparently is leveling off and increases of enrollment encountered in recent years may not continue into 1970- 71. In pupil personnel services, the budget calls for an increase of about $17,000 to a total of $53,225. This includes a new elementary guidance counselor and a new home and school visitor at $7,000. The visitor would replace a $990 item now handled by a local policeman. Health service costs are up 6.6 per cent to $32,943, including a new $1,130 dental item and a $1,200 increase in medical materials and supplies. Pupil transportation costs are up about $2,000 to a total of $102,293. Plant operation and maintenance shows about a $17,000 increase to a total of $275,692.

Capital outlay for instructional equipment is up about $20,000 to $30,850. Debt service is up $49,000 from the budget spending estimate of $614,814. The original ‘69-70 budget, however, had called for debt service of $722,810. Officials said the substantial reduction in payments is the result of a change in financing procedures. The reduced debt service payments this year account for. a significant portion of the surplus this year which will be used in next year’s budget.
