Middle School Will Open Sept. 8
The new Warwick Middle
School must and will open the
first day of school. September 8.
That’s what Dr. H. Dale Wing­er,
district school superintend­ent,
has informed many parents
who have been inquiring about
the Middle School.
The school district has made
many decisions in anticipation of
the Middle School opening and
these decisions are irreversible.
There is no alternative to putting
students in the Middle School on
opening day, he indicated.
At the same time, however, he
has assured parents that work is
progressing rapidly on the new
school and that he expects the
school to be mostly completed by
opening day. While some work
may proceed after opening, this
should not substantially interfere
with school functions, he said.
The complete text of Dr. Wing­er’s
statement on the school is as
follows:
Will it be finished by Septem­ber?
This is the most frequently
asked question relating to the
new Warwick Middle School.
Midway through the summer
vacation, students assigned to the
middle school, and their parents,
are wondering if the school will
Lititz Outdoor Art Show July 31
The fifth annual Lititz Out­door
Art Show will be held in
the downtown area from 9 a.m.
to 6 p.m. Saturday July 31. One
hundred entries have been sub­mitted
so far.
There will be both adult and
childrens divisions in the show,
with the children’s division for
youngsters under 14 years of
age.
The adult division will offer
entries in oils and watercolors
and graphic arts and sculpture.
Any artist living within a 100
mile radius of Lititz is eligible
to enter the contest.
Show Location
The show will be on South
Broad Street between Orange
and Front Streets and from
South Broad and Main Streets
to Church Square. The chil­dren’s
work will be displayed on
North Broad Street at the Lit­itz
Springs Park entrance.
Judges for the show will be
Mrs. Maya Schock, New Cum­berland,
and Charles Hidley,
Harrisburg. Mrs. Schock has
studied painting with John Pike
in Woodstock N.Y. and at the
Pennsylvania Academy of Fine
Arts. She is currently teaching
at the York Academy of Aids.
Hidley studied art at the Brook­lyn
Museum of Art School, and
the Art Students League, in
N.Y. and at the Escuela De
Pintura in Mexico. He is pre­sently
teaching at the Camp
Hill Art Academy. Both have
had numerous exhibitions.
Deadline for entries is Satur­day,
July 24. There will be a
prize of $100 for the work which
is judged best of the show. Ad­ditional
cash awards will be
given in the adult division for
first through fourth place in
each media. Seven prizes total­ing
$25 will be awarded in the
children’s division.
The show is sponsored by
the Lititz Village Art Associa­tion
in cooperation with the
Lititz Retailers Association.
Rain dates for the show are
Aug. 7 or Aug. 14.
open on September 8, when the
1971-72 school term begins.
Before answering this question,
it might be well to point out two
basic facts that bear on the open­ing
of the new school.
First, additional classroom
space is needed to house stu­dents
who attended crowded
classrooms in several elementary
buildings and the junior-senior
high school during 1970-71. This
is of course, the reason the new
middle school was planned and
constructed.
Secondly, and perhaps most
significant at this time, are the
many internal decisions that
must be made in the school dis­trict
in preparation for changing
the grade structure to K-5, 6-8,
and 9-12.
During the summer months,
sixth grade classes have been re­moved
from the elementary
schools, the students reassigned
to the middle school and the ele­mentary
classrooms allocated for
use by other students.
A substantial number of ele­mentary,
junior high school and
senior high school teachers have
been reassigned to new positions,
either in the middle school or in
Warwick Senior High School.
Similarity, some office and ad­ministrative
personnel have been
reassigned to new positions in

Swedish Teacher Visits Rodgers, Local Places
Poplar Grove Chapel Is Reopened
Poplar Grove Chapel has met
state requirements and state ap­proval
to reopen, according to
Rev. Willis Clawser, pastor.
Notice which had been placed
on the chapel by Charles Ing­ham,
Pennsylvania Department
of Labor and Industry inspector,
has been removed, the poster
said. The chapel is located on
Route 322 one mile west of Brick-erville.
It was reported that the notice
was placed on the chapel early
this month because of a com­plaint
by the Elizabeth Township
supervisors as to the completion
date and safety of the building.

Lancaster County isn’t all
that different from parts of
Sweden, especially its scenery.
That was the discovery of a
visitor from Sweden to Lititz
for two weeks.
She is Britte-Marie Jensen-
Carlen, from Malmo, Sweden,
who was the recent housegueet
of Mr. and Mrs. Roy E. Rodger,
403 Sutter Place.
Britte-Marie is currently
spending the first of two weeks
in New Jersey, after which she
will return to Sweden.
A member of the American
Host Program, she came to
America with about 200 teach-
Council to Discuss Major Items
Fire hall location, alternatives
for new parking downtown,
flouridation plans and plans for
the proposed addition to the
Lititz swimming pool are major
items Lititz Borough Council will
discuss next week.
At its regular meeting at 7:30
p.m. Tuesday in borough hall,
council will discuss the proposed
borough fire hall construction
site location. The Lititz Zoning
Hearing Board recently rejected
a site proposed by firemen on
South Broad Street.
Douglas Howe, president of
Parking Unlimited Inc., Potts-ville,
has been invited by coun­cil
to attend Tuesday’s meeting
to discuss methods which his
firm, prepares ror parking in
downtown commercial districts.
Council will be reviewing a
proposed housing ordinance and
may set up a date for a public
hearing.
George Morgan, borough solici­tor,
is expected to give an opin­ion
concenring the storage of in­dustrial
materials.
Council will be appointing
police officers from surrounding
communities in accordance with
the inter-municipal police co-op­eration
agreement. The men may
be called upon as acting police
officers in the borough of Lititz
when requsted by the Lititz
Police Department.
A proposed amendment to the
zoning ordinance concenring the
historical district will be review­ed
and a public hearing date will
probably be set later in the Fall.
Council will review an ordi-ance
to ban outdoor vending
machines in the borough.
Plans and specifications for
Fiouridation equipment will be
presented by the borough’s
water engineers at the meeting.
The proposed addition to the
Lititz Springs Swimming Pool
will be reviewed With the firm
of McCloud, Scatchard, Derek
and Edson.
Council will review a request
to accept one hundred thousand
dollars a day of industrial waste
from Travis Mills.
Barbecue - Antique Show Is
Slated By Park Trustees
ers from all over Europe who
have spread out to homes all
over the United States for their
month in this country.
The Rodger family became
one of Britte-Marie’s hosts be­cause
their church, Highland
Presbyterian, was seeking host
families for the program.
The Rodger family volunteer­ed
and has been quite thrilled
with the results. Mrs. Rodger
pointed out that there is a
great need for more host fami­lies.
Many more volunteers are
needed to accommodate the
many young European men and
women who would like to learn
more about America first-hand.
Under the relatively new pro­gram,
plans are to arrange for
reciprocal visits — young
American teachers travel to
Europe to live with European
families.
“It is the best way to travel,”
Britte-Marie said. “We get to
know other people, another
country.”
This is not Britte-Marie’s
first visit to America, however.
She was here in 1960 with her
husband. At that time, she stay­ed
in Manhattan and the trip
was highlighted by an interview
with the late Dag Hammarskold
and the Swedish Ambassador at
the time, Agda Rossel.
She heard of the American
Host Program through a friend
who “was here last year and
highly recommended it.”
Because she is a teacher, a
supervisor of teacher training
at a college in Malmo, Britte-
Marie was especially interested
in visiting some American col­leges
and universities.
Britte-Marie Jansen Carlen offers a Swedish smile dur­ing
visit here.
The Board of Trustees of the
Lititz Springs Park at its meet­ing
Tuesday evening consider­ed
the past Fourth of July pro­gram
to be a successfud event.
The celebration compared fa­vorably
with the programs pre­sented
during the past four
years in gate receipts.
President, George K. Biemes-derfer,
appointed Richard E.
Boose and Donald L. Krushin-ski,
co-chairmen to head a com­mittee
to evaluate observations
on this year’s celebration in
preparation of July 4th, 1972.
The Board approved the erec­tion
of a colonial design sign-bulletin
board at the driveway
entrance to the park for the
purpose of advertising events
as they are programmed. The
sign will be approximately 12
feet high, and will set in a
planter designed in the exten­sion
of present grass strip at
entry.
The following trustees volun­teered
to assist Harold P. Bortz
at the Sunday evening church
services: Richard W. Summers,
Richard E. Boose, George K.
Biemesderfer, J. Vincent Beck­er
and C. William Dussinger
(through July and August).
Group efforts especially
noted for their cooperative ef­forts:
Lititz JayCees who paint­ed
the bandshell; Lititz ABC’s
who joined in as a group to as-sist
in taking tickets at the 4th
celebration, Lititz Woman’s
Club who cooperated in present­ing
the Queen of the Candles
pageant program this year, Boy
Scouts who helped with the
candle lighting.
C. William Dussinger, trea­surer,
noted a contribution of
$900 from the Lititz Boro, a
contribution of the $100 cash
award made to Elmer H. Bom-berger
from Pennsylvania
Power & Light Company who
received this year’s “Communi­ty
Betterment Award” from
P P & L.
The Board has scheduled its
Annual Chicken Barbecue and
5th Annual Outdoor Antique
Show and Sale on Saturday,
September 4. Proceeds of this
Labor Day event are held for
park improvements. The show
starts at 9 a.m. No admission
is charged. Graybill Miller will
be in charge of the barbecue.
Fifty dealers will exhibit.
George K. Biemesderfer, presi­dent
of the board of trustees,
will announce committees and
names of pit helpers next
month.
Mr. and Mrs. Joseph M. Carl
are co-chairmen of the show.
This is their fifth year directing
the antique show.
No rain date scheduled for
this event.
So the Rodgers took her to
Pennsylvania State University
where their daughter, Mary
Lou, is a student. “We had a
guided tour: it was very inter­esting,”
the traveler added.
On the way to Penn State the
Rodgers and Britte-Marie visit­ed
an Amish family for dinner
and the visitor was fascinated.
“We don’t expect to find
people living like that in this
type of area,” she explained,
adding that there are families
in Sweden living without
modern conveniences but these
are not located in the midst of
a modern community where
other people have conveniences.
“I am impressed that the Amish
live the way they do by choice,”
she added.
Another interesting visit for
Britte-Marie was to Millersville
State College where she had the
opportunity to observe the
“Summer Happening.” This is
