U .S . Senator Richard Schweiker To Be Featured
Speaker at Joint Lititz Service Club Dinner May 6
U.S. Senator Richard Sch­weiker
will speak in Lititz at
6:30 p.m. May 6.
Schweiker recently answered
a letter of local service clubs
stating he will be the keynote
speaker at a joint service club
dinner at Warwick High School.
This is the first dinner of its
kind, but participating organiza­tions
hope to make it an annual
event.
The clubs involved include:
American Business Club, Lititz
Javeees, Lititz Lions Club, War­wick
Lions Club, Rotary and the
Sertoma Ciub.
Presidents of these service
clubs met about six weeks ago
to make tentative plans for the
joint dinner.
Plans were finalized Tuesday
night.
The intent of the dinner is to
foster closer relationships
among the service clubs of the
Lititz-Warwick area and to con­sider
the feasibility of joint pro­jects
to benefit the entire com­munity.
In making plans for the din­ner,
U.S. Senator Schweiker
was contacted to be speaker.
The original contact was made
by Ron Reedy of Lititz, who is
Congressman Ed Eshleman’s
staff member.
Marvin Miller, Pennsylvania
representative, will be the mas­ter
of ceremonies.
The meal will be catered by
Bingeman’s Restaurant.
Local service club represen­tatives
indicated they are elat­ed
by the Senator’s response to
the invitation and are planning
for at least 400 to attend the
dinner, including wives.
Six Lititz service club presidents are
shown Tuesday night planning a joint din­ner
May 6 at which U.S. Senator Richard
Schweiker will be speaker. The six and
their clubs are: left to right, seated, Paul
R. Diehm, American Business Club; Steve
Palkovic, Dititz Lions Club; Fred Engle,
Lititz Jaycees;! standing, John Morman,
Lititz Rotary Club; Harold McKinney, Lit­itz
Sertoma Cub, and Paul Kurtz, War­wick
Lions Club.
Tickets will be sold at $2.50
each to service club members
and their guests first, before
they are opened to the general
public.
Any profit from the dinner
will be donated to the Lititz
Rec Center, it was reported.
Tickets can be secured
through the service club mem­bers
or their presidents. The
presidents are:
Paul R. Diehm, ABC; Steve
Palkovic, Lititz Lions; Fred
Engle, Jaycees; Paul Kurtz,
Warwick Lions; John Morman,
Rotary, and Harold McKinney,
Sertoma.

An estimated $45,000 to $50,000 damage occurred
in this barn fire Monday on the farm tenanted by Har­lan
Groff, Holly Tree Road, Manheim RD1, and owned
by Grant G. Simmons, 216 Landis Valley Road, Lan­caster.
.
Some early reports had indicated arson, but the
fire started from “some bad wires” and the possibility
of arson is “definitely out,” Paul Z. Knier, Lancaster
County fire marshall, said Wednesday afternoon.
The fire early Monday afternoon, completely des­troyed
the barn and its contents, including many valu-able
pieces of farm equipment including a tractor,
the charred remains of which are shown in the fore­ground,
farm wagons and cultivators.
The house, shown in the photo, was only about 20
feet from the barn and received extensive damage
from both flames and water used to bring the fire under
control.
Five puppies were killed and several pieces of
furniture were removed from the house at one point
because of concern that the house might also be lost.
