WEA, School Board Reach Tentative 71-72 Wage Contract Mrs. Barbara Stump Greeting Our New Teachers Post Office Will Be Closed Mon, The Lititz Post Office will be closed on Monday, October 11 in observance of Columbus Day. There will be no window service nor town or rural deliveries, except special deliveries in town. The lobby will remain open from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. for box patrons and vending machine sales.

Mrs.Barbara Stump has joined the teaching staff of the Lititz Elementary School as a fourth grade teacher this year. A native of Berks County, Mrs. Stump is a graduate of Kutztown Area High School and Millersville State College. She plays the piano, bridge and is interested in reading. Mrs. Stump lives at 54 East Center Street. The Warwick Education Association and the Warwick School Board negotiators have reached tentative agreement on a 1971-72 teacher wage-benefit contract. The agreement was in the process of being drawn up in legal form early this week. The WEA is scheduled to consider formal ratification at a special meeting Monday, October 18, and the school board will consider ratification a t its regular meeting Tuesday evening, October 19. Dr. H. Dale Winger, district school superintendent, said Tuesday that both the WEA and school board negotiators have formally agreed on all points of contention. The WEA chief negotiator is Thomas McKinne and the school board is represented by John M. Evans. The agreements which have been reached are in the form of several separate signed agreements by the negotiators, Dr. Winger explained. The next step is for the solicitor Roger Reist to prepare a draft of the agreements in legal form for review by both Evans and McKinne. When approved by the two, the contract will be printed for official submission to the WEA and school board. Dr. Winger said the contents of the contract will not be released prior to action by the two groups. He did say that the chief points of contention were economic, including salary, extra pay for extra duty and fringe benefits. While the cost of the contract has not been computed, he said the school district can meet the cost out of its present budget. The agreement won’t cause an operating deficit in the current school year, he said. He said the agreement was not what the district had anticipated in its budget approved this summer, but it is “not out of bounds.” The settlement “fell in the middle of the upper and lower limits of what had been anticipated,” he said. Fire Company Says No to Mill Site The Lititz Fire Company has voted to reject the Eby’s MUi site as a location for a new fire company. The Fire Company action came after Lititz Borough Council voted at its last meeting to take an option on the property and asked the Fire Company to express its opinion on the site. The option expires at the end of October. Meeting last week, Fire Company members voted to reject the site. The vote was 10 to 5, it was learned. Paul F. Diehm, chairman of the company’s building committee, said there wasn’t much discussion at the meeting. He noted that the firemen generally have not liked the location from the beginning. In previous debate on a site for a new company, objections by firemen to Eby’s Mill have included : it’s not centrally located in the fire company’s service area, growth in the service area is generally to the south away from the site, fire equipment would be forced to leave the site uphill, cutting down on reaction time to fires and possibly causing problems during icy winter weather. Community Calendar George Steedle, borough manager, said this week that the next step on what to do about the Eby’s Mill site will be up to borough council. He said he doesn’t think the borough “will arbitrarily pick Eby’s Mill.” but will probably “try to find another site that is mutually agreeable.” But Steedle also pointed out that the suitable sites which are available are “not very plentiful.” Residents Protest Apartment Complex Wilbur Strike Really Wasn’t the First Last week’s two-day strike at the Wilbur Chocolate Co. was not the first strike at the local plant, according to a Lititz man. Elwood Ritz, 203 E. Third Ave., who is more than 72 years old, said he recalls that when he was a teenager working at the plant around 1914-15 there was a strike that lasted three or four days. The Record-Express had reported last week that it was the first strike in Wilbur Chocolate’s 106-year history. But Ritz noted that the local firm wasn’t known as Wilbur then. It was operating under two names: Puritan Chocolate Co. and Ideal Cocoa and Chocolate Co.R itz said the earlier strike resulted when the company dismissed the president, Walter Light, and brought in Mose Tressler from Germany. The strike was resolved on the condition that Light be reinstated, according to Ritz. Ben Forrest, Wilbur Chocolate vice president, who has written a company history, said as far as he knows the company’s records don’t indicate a strike in the 1914- 15 period, when the local plant was know as Ideal. But Forrest did note there was a brief strike in the 1940’s after the firm was taken over by Wilbur in the early 1930’s. It was during the NRA days and was the period in which the local union ' More than 30 Warwick Township residents appeared at the Lititz Planning Commission meeting Tuesday night to protest the proposed construction of 240 garden apartments on a 21.5 acre tract at the rear of Kissel Hill Elementary School. Located at Landis Valley Road and Owl Hill Road, the apartment In This Issue was born, Forrest recalls. Business Directory 10 That strike was briet, lasting Church News 9 only about half a day. Classified Ads 12, 13 Which indicates that even if Editorial Page 4 last week’s strike wasn’t the first, School Menu 8 the company has had a relatively Society Section 8 strike-free history. Sports Section 6, 7 Wilbur Chocolate Employes End Strike, Company-Union Negotiate Issues After a two-day walkout, Wilbur Chocolate Co. employees voted last week to return to work at 2 p.m. last Thursday. The approximately 200 em-eniployes returned to work as scheduled and early this week company and union officials were continuing to negotiate to resolve differences which started the walkout. He also said he is currently “satisfied with the way things are moving.” John Buzzard, company president, in announcing that the men were returning to work, emphasized he was pleased. Lloyd Long, president of Local 272, Bakery and Confectioners Union of the AFL-CIO, said this week: Buzzard said both sides were in the process of submitting their greivances in writing as the first step in carrying out the greivance procedure outlined in the company- union contract reached this summer. “The feeling that management won’t talk no longer exists. If they would have ; talked last week like they are this week, this (walkout) would never have happened.” After the walkout last week, Buzzard had asked the men to return to work so that the procedure of settling the differences could begin under the contract. RothSVille PTA Douglas Williams Earns Eagle Award Slates Meetings The first meeting of the Rothsville PTA will be held at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, October 14, in the Rothsville Elementary School. The topic “Fire Prevention and First-Aid” will be presented by Claude Young, Rothsville fire chief. A social hour will follow in the cafeteria. Other programs scheduled for the coming year include: November-Open House; March- Cleft Palate Clinic; April-Spring musical by the children. The executive committee, responsible for the programs, consists of Jesse Balmer, president; Marvin Wittmer, first vice-president; Frankllin Myers, second vice-president; Sylvia Salter, recording se c retary ; Linda Hilton, tresurer; and Mrs. Mary Clark, school representative.

School board representatives are Franklin Myers and Evelyn Wissler. Douglas T. Williams, son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas W. Williams, Leola RDl, will receive the Eagle Scout Award at a Parents Night program being held this evening (Thursday) by Troop 160, sponsored by St. Luke’s UCC. Doug is the troop’s first Eagle Scout. The award will be presented by Thomas F. Lehmier, scout executive of toe newly consolidated Lancaster-Lebanon Council. Doug earned 15 activity badges as a cub scout and has served as a Webelos Den chief. He attended the 1970 junior leader training camp and was a scout life guard at Camp Mack. He is a member of the Brotherhood of the Order of toe Arrow, ordeal ceremonial team chairman. He is also a member of toe Conowingis Chapter, Order of toe Arrow Dance Team. He is now serving as a senior patrol leader in Troop 160. The company last week obtained a federal court injunction to stop the walkout. At first, employes voted to continue the walkout, but a day and a half later voted to return to work. Doug is a defensive end on toe Warwick freshman football team. Both sides were reported early this week to be working to have toe injunction dismissed and avoid toe federal court hearing which was scheduled for 10 a.m. Wednesday in Philadelphia. Buzzard said the company Monday pleaded with toe court that toe injunction be “dismissed because of compliance, although tardy, without prejudice.” Asked what “without prejudice” means, Buzzard explained it is very important because it ends the company’s right to collect damages for lost and damaged materials which Were in process when employees walked off the job and for loss of customers as a result of toe strike. Buzzard said he hopes the union will adopt the same type of attitude and emphasized that “nobody wins” in a dispute of this type. Long indicated early this week that progress already has been made toward settling differences with the company. He said seven of 19 men that had been dismissed September 24 were called back to work Monday. Discussion is continuing on 11 of the other employes and a 12th has been dropped by mutual agreement. Long said toe company has agreed to meet another major union grievance: inform the union in advance of lay-offs and workload changes. The company has agreed to inform the union in advance of why changes are being made and who it’s going to affect, he said. The union had contended that the 19 men were laid off without notice to toe union and that this had resulted in overloading some other men with work. The layoffs occurred after a management study by a Chicago firm. Buzzard explained last week that the moves were made because of rising costs of raw materials, toe price freeze on finished products and the need to remain competitive in toe industry. complex is planned by Soble Construction Co. The residents objected to having that many apartments in the area, claiming the complex would be detrimental to property values, would bring a large number of children into the school district and would create traffic hazards. Commission members said, however, that toe major problem might be sewage disposal. While toe construction firm plans to use public water and sewer, toe recent proposal by Travis Mills to expand its plant and sewage output is bringing the borough’s sewage system to near capacity use, it is reported. The borough will have to determine if toe sewage system has toe capacity to accept toe new apartments, according to George Steedle, borough manager. The borough zoning ordinance lists toe area as R-l and permits apartments at the rate of one for each 4,000 square feet of land. But the commission tabled toe issue till 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, November 2, because two members weren’t present. The commission also said it will meet in private session with its solicitor to discuss a proposed housing ordinance on October 20. New Dress Shop to Locate Here The Lititz Zoning Hearing Board has granted a special exception to Richard A. Hartman, general manager of the Gladell Dress Shop in Elizabethtown, to open a second shop in Lititz. farm a t the Libramont Development Bams in Kissel Hill from Oct. 4,1971 to April 1, 1972. The board held that complaints from residents about the possibility of odor and flies were not sufficient to warrant a denial. ! The new dress shop will be located at 21 S. Broad St., the former Lititz Sewing Center location, in an office and professional zoning district. The board stipulated, however, that Longenecker must: — Have the bam cleaned thoroughly at least twice during the six-month period. The Sewing Center has moved-to 9 S.

The Fire Company action came after Lititz Borough Council voted at its last meeting to take an option on the property and asked the Fire Company to express its opinion on the site. The option expires at the end of October. Meeting last week, Fire Company members voted to reject the site. The vote was 10 to 5, it was learned. Paul F. Diehm, chairman of the company’s building committee, said there wasn’t much discussion at the meeting. He noted that the firemen generally have not liked the location from the beginning. In previous debate on a site for a new company, objections by firemen to Eby’s Mill have included : it’s not centrally located in the fire company’s service area, growth in the service area is generally to the south away from the site, fire equipment would be forced to leave the site uphill, cutting down on reaction time to fires and possibly causing problems during icy winter weather. Community Calendar George Steedle, borough manager, said this week that the next step on what to do about the Eby’s Mill site will be up to borough council. He said he doesn’t think the borough “will arbitrarily pick Eby’s Mill.” but will probably “try to find another site that is mutually agreeable.” But Steedle also pointed out that the suitable sites which are available are “not very plentiful.” Residents Protest Apartment Complex Wilbur Strike Really Wasn’t the First Last week’s two-day strike at the Wilbur Chocolate Co. was not the first strike at the local plant, according to a Lititz man. Elwood Ritz, 203 E. Third Ave., who is more than 72 years old, said he recalls that when he was a teenager working at the plant around 1914-15 there was a strike that lasted three or four days. The Record-Express had reported last week that it was the first strike in Wilbur Chocolate’s 106-year history. But Ritz noted that the local firm wasn’t known as Wilbur then. It was operating under two names: Puritan Chocolate Co. and Ideal Cocoa and Chocolate Co.R itz said the earlier strike resulted when the company dismissed the president, Walter Light, and brought in Mose Tressler from Germany. The strike was resolved on the condition that Light be reinstated, according to Ritz. Ben Forrest, Wilbur Chocolate vice president, who has written a company history, said as far as he knows the company’s records don’t indicate a strike in the 1914- 15 period, when the local plant was know as Ideal. But Forrest did note there was a brief strike in the 1940’s after the firm was taken over by Wilbur in the early 1930’s. It was during the NRA days and was the period in which the local union ' More than 30 Warwick Township residents appeared at the Lititz Planning Commission meeting Tuesday night to protest the proposed construction of 240 garden apartments on a 21.5 acre tract at the rear of Kissel Hill Elementary School. Located at Landis Valley Road and Owl Hill Road, the apartment In This Issue was born, Forrest recalls. Business Directory 10 That strike was briet, lasting Church News 9 only about half a day.

Sports Section 6, 7 Wilbur Chocolate Employes End Strike, Company-Union Negotiate Issues After a two-day walkout, Wilbur Chocolate Co. employees voted last week to return to work at 2 p.m. last Thursday. The approximately 200 em-eniployes returned to work as scheduled and early this week company and union officials were continuing to negotiate to resolve differences which started the walkout. He also said he is currently “satisfied with the way things are moving.” John Buzzard, company president, in announcing that the men were returning to work, emphasized he was pleased. Lloyd Long, president of Local 272, Bakery and Confectioners Union of the AFL-CIO, said this week: Buzzard said both sides were in the process of submitting their greivances in writing as the first step in carrying out the greivance procedure outlined in the company- union contract reached this summer. “The feeling that management won’t talk no longer exists. If they would have ; talked last week like they are this week, this (walkout) would never have happened.” After the walkout last week, Buzzard had asked the men to return to work so that the procedure of settling the differences could begin under the contract.

Williams, Leola RDl, will receive the Eagle Scout Award at a Parents Night program being held this evening (Thursday) by Troop 160, sponsored by St. Luke’s UCC. Doug is the troop’s first Eagle Scout. The award will be presented by Thomas F. Lehmier, scout executive of toe newly consolidated Lancaster-Lebanon Council. Doug earned 15 activity badges as a cub scout and has served as a Webelos Den chief. He attended the 1970 junior leader training camp and was a scout life guard at Camp Mack. He is a member of the Brotherhood of the Order of toe Arrow, ordeal ceremonial team chairman. He is also a member of toe Conowingis Chapter, Order of toe Arrow Dance Team. He is now serving as a senior patrol leader in Troop 160. The company last week obtained a federal court injunction to stop the walkout. At first, employes voted to continue the walkout, but a day and a half later voted to return to work. Doug is a defensive end on toe Warwick freshman football team. Both sides were reported early this week to be working to have toe injunction dismissed and avoid toe federal court hearing which was scheduled for 10 a.m. Wednesday in Philadelphia. Buzzard said the company Monday pleaded with toe court that toe injunction be “dismissed because of compliance, although tardy, without prejudice.” Asked what “without prejudice” means, Buzzard explained it is very important because it ends the company’s right to collect damages for lost and damaged materials which Were in process when employees walked off the job and for loss of customers as a result of toe strike. Buzzard said he hopes the union will adopt the same type of attitude and emphasized that “nobody wins” in a dispute of this type. Long indicated early this week that progress already has been made toward settling differences with the company. He said seven of 19 men that had been dismissed September 24 were called back to work Monday. Discussion is continuing on 11 of the other employes and a 12th has been dropped by mutual agreement. Long said toe company has agreed to meet another major union grievance: inform the union in advance of lay-offs and workload changes. The company has agreed to inform the union in advance of why changes are being made and who it’s going to affect, he said. The union had contended that the 19 men were laid off without notice to toe union and that this had resulted in overloading some other men with work. The layoffs occurred after a management study by a Chicago firm. Buzzard explained last week that the moves were made because of rising costs of raw materials, toe price freeze on finished products and the need to remain competitive in toe industry. complex is planned by Soble Construction Co. The residents objected to having that many apartments in the area, claiming the complex would be detrimental to property values, would bring a large number of children into the school district and would create traffic hazards. Commission members said, however, that toe major problem might be sewage disposal. While toe construction firm plans to use public water and sewer, toe recent proposal by Travis Mills to expand its plant and sewage output is bringing the borough’s sewage system to near capacity use, it is reported. The borough will have to determine if toe sewage system has toe capacity to accept toe new apartments, according to George Steedle, borough manager. The borough zoning ordinance lists toe area as R-l and permits apartments at the rate of one for each 4,000 square feet of land. But the commission tabled toe issue till 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, November 2, because two members weren’t present. The commission also said it will meet in private session with its solicitor to discuss a proposed housing ordinance on October 20.
