Clausen, Lititz, intermediate teacher; Mrs. Sharon L. Keesey, Rothsville, primary teacher; Jeffrey B. Kent, Lititz, intermediate teacher; Mrs, Barbara W.

Stark, a teacher at Lititz Elementary School, after 26 years of service. The board granted professional employee status to Kay L. Shanaman, a teacher at Kissel Hill Elementary School, because of satisfactory completion of the state mandatory probationary period. The board awarded three contracts, involving several companies, for the following: Office supplies, $12,781; general supplies, $11,971; and art supplies, $8,953. Jennie Kissinger acted as spokesman for a group of stu- • r""*h>nts that had been elected as Youth Day in Government School Board Members. She stated the thing the students desired most was a student lounge. The board took the matter under auvisement. A change order of $70,807 for bulk and trench rock excavation was aproved in construction of the Warwick Middle School. . It must be approved by the Lititz Area School Authority and the state Department of Education. The board reminded residents that real estate taxes for school year 1970-71 must be paid to respective tax collectors by April 27, 1971. After that they will be turned over to the Delinquent Tax Claim Bureau. Farmers National Declares Dividend, New Share Sales Karen Wertsch, a senior at Warwick High School, waded right into the Lititz Springs Creek to clean out some of the debris during the Earth Day program conducted by students in Lititz. Lititz Fire Co. Will Seek Zoning To Build on South Broad Street The Lititz Fire Company will apply for a special exception to erect a fire house in an R-2 residential zone on South Broad Street. The Lititz Zoning Board of Appeals has scheduled the appeal foi the special exception at its meeting May 3. according to Paul F Diehm of the Lititz Fire Company. But Diehm noted that no decision is expected on May 3 and that Borough Council has the final say in the appeal. The Lititz Fire Company acted in December to buy the property, the Richard McCreary property between Center and Lemon Streets on the east side of South Broad Street. The property has a 58 foot frontage on South Broad and runs 200 feet to Raspberry Lane and includes a two and one-half story double brick dwelling on Raspberry Lane. If zoning approval is received, tentative fire company plans are to demolish the brick building and erect a fire station of good design with landscaping to make it attractive in the neighborhood. Previous discussion had indicated that the lot would not be wide enough to accommodate a lire house of adequate size without building closer to adjoining properly lines than the eight feet called for under the zoning ordinance. But Diehm emphasized that a design _has been worked out which would make the building longer to fit the lot and meet all sideyard and setback requirements. The special exception to locate a municipal building in a residential area is the only zoning action which will be necessary, Diehm said. The Fire Company’s purchase agreement hinges on zoning approval. While the site is the Fire Company’s number one site, some borough officials have indicated in recent months a desire to build a joint borough, fire and police building ■ in downtown Lititz. The board of directors of the Farmers National Bank of Lititz has announced the approval of a 100 per cent stock dividend and the authorization of an increase' in capital by the sale of 26,400 additional shares. The stock dividend, to be declared in June, will provide shareholders of record April 15, 1971, with one additional share for each one presently held. A similar dividend was declared in 1965, and a 10 per cent stock dividend was paid in 1968. The new shares, to be sold at $40 per share, will increase the bank’s capital and surplus by ' $1,056,000. The strong demand for credit, plus the bank’s rapid growth, require the extra capital, according to the board’s announcement. Preemptive rights will' be issued to shareholders of record April 15. The bank is offering to execute sales and purchases of rights at 25 cents per right. Ten rights are required to purchase one share. Warrants for the rights expire May 21. Upon completion of the offering, the total capital funds of the bank will increase from Vh, million dollars to over 415 million dollars. The announcement was made at a special shareholders meeting. Woman's Club Meets The Lititz Woman’s Club held its April meeting at the General Sutter Inn, Monday evening. Mrs. Roy Yeager, president, was in charge of the meeting. Mrs. Harold Stryker read the ’minutes of the preceding meet- Church to Lay Cornerstone The Lititz United Methodist Church will conduct a Cornerstone . Laying Service at 10:30 a.m. Sunday, April 25, at its new church building. Rev. George Hippel, Executive. Secretary of the Board of Missions of the Eastern Pennsylvania Conference of the United Methodist Church, will' deliver the morning sermon and lead in the Litany for the cornerstone laying. The first part of this service will be held indoors at the present location, 110 North Cedar Street and then moved to the new location corner of East Market and New Street, Lititz. The Lititz congregation purchased seven acres of land for their new location. The new edifice and educational facilities will cost $335,000.00. Equipment and architectural fees will add another $45,000.00. The church will seat 304 in the nave and 45 in the choir loft. The educational facilities will accommodate a Church School of 300. There will be ample off-street parking. David Lynch is the architect and Elmer Gander the Builder. The decision to relocate was reached in 1964 under the leaderships of Pastor Frank Nickle. Rev. Harold M. Young is the present pastor. mg. Mrs. Garth Becker gave (he treasurer’s report. They were approved as read. Mrs. Becker gave the financial report of the Benefit Ball for the Lititz Restoration. The total profit earned from the dance was $986.44. The club voted to donate $500 of this money to purchase brick to pave Zum Anker Alley. The remaining funds will be kept until needed. In other action, council will consider an amendment to the water and sewer ordinance to increase the water rale by 25 cents per 1,000 cubic feet and to reduce the sewer rate by 25 cents per 1,000 cubic feet. Steedle said the change is primarily needed to provide a better balance in the water and sewer budgets. In the past, money has had to be shifted from sewer to water, he explained, because of inadequate water revenues. For most water and sewer users, the change will make no difference in the total borough charge, because the increase in water charge will be offset by an equal decrease in sewer charge. The sewer fee is based on water use. But there are a few customers who use only water or only sewer services. These customers would get some increase or decrease under the change, but these account for only a small proportion of the total, Steedle indicated. Asked about the impact of the Schweiker To Appear At Dinner Meeting "U. S. Senator Richard Schwei-ker will appear here in Lititz on May 6 sponsored by the local service clubs. He will be the guest at a joint dinner meeting ol the service clubs to be held in the High School Cafeteria.

An ordinance will be considered to remove three streets from the borough plan in accordance witii a request from Moravian Manors Inc. and follows a public hearing held Tty council on March 30. Appointed auditor Wilbur Miller will review with council the audit of all borough funds for the fiscal year 1970.

A subdivision plan for the Thomas Steffy estate will be presented to council for approval. ’ The local police department will request permission from council to purchase a breathalyzer together with Ephratd and other departments associated with the Ephrata communications center.

Council will receive the Recreation Center budget for the fiscal year 1971-72 from Ronald Reedy, president of the Recreation Center Commission. Council will make recommendations to the Lancaster County Planning Commission for the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation construction and repair projects for the coming year.

The six member committee will select three Warwick High School students to receive scholarships totaling $5,000. The awards, to be used for college education, are $2,500, $1,500 and $1,000.
