Share and Succeed” was the theme of the Annual meeting, which was held September 27th to 30th. Outlining the crises facing the insurance industry in the ‘80's, during his acceptance speech, Gibbel characterized them as being challenges to the industry. “The insurance industry today is in a chaotic condition,” he declared. “A highly destructive wave of severe competition has been set loose by the struggle to gain dollars for investment income at historically high interest rates. “Today, too many companies are operating on the ‘total return’ theory. The seemingly obvious solution to maintaining a market share is to reduce rates in hope that the investment income off the cash flow will offset the expected underwriting loss. “Not only has our financial stability been jeopardized, but our credibility as rate makers has become suspect in many quarters. Persistent lowering of rates in the face (Turn to Page 11) Henry H. Gibbel Judge Paul A. Mueller Jr. told a panel of 25 prospective jurors Tuesday that he had been informed that the prosecution is seeking a verdict of first-degree murder and the death penalty in the trial of Larry James Derr, Jr., 21, of Lititz R2.D err is charged with the May 2 murder of 42-year-old Shirley Marie Albright of Lancaster, whose body was found outside the employee entrance of Warfel Construction Co., North Prince Street, Lancaster.

Lititz Postmaster, Florence Rutt Retires Florence Rutt’s career as a school teacher was aide tracked while she was still in high school and was working, “helping out” at the post office.

Lititz has been wonderful to me. Fantastic!” Mrs. Rutt will retire from her Lititz postmaster’s position one month short of five years. She hastily explained, “1 get a lot of letters addressed to ‘Postmistress’ but that really is not the correct term. They insist on Postmaster,” she said and chuckled that ERA has not yet reached into the postal system, to that extent. Mrs. Rutt started as a window clerk and said that while she worked at that job, she had a chance to see all the pretty stamps, the commemoratives and special editions, and then she used to collect them. “But now I don’t see them as readily, because I don’t work at the window, and I don’t collect them anymore.” She worked 16 years as a window clerk and 14 years as supervisor before she was promoted to postmaster almost nine years ago. Once she has retired, Mrs. Rutt says that she wants to travel” within the United States. I’ve flown over, but that isn’t the same as getting out and seeing the place. I love to travel but really have no desire to go to Europe, even though both my parents were bom there.” The rise in stamp prices could hardly be avoided in any discussion with a I n T h i s I s s u e Obituaries, Births 2 Editorial 4 Sports Section 6,7,8,9 Classified 13,14,15 Manheim News 18,19 Social 20,21 Church 22 Business Directory 24 postmaster, and sure enough, Mrs. Rutt said that she knew it was going to happen. “It’s like everything else,” shrugged the attractive youthful lady. “But our letters are still the cheapest in the world. Think of being able to communicate with someone in California or Hawaii for just twenty cents.!” A big portion of Mrs. Rutt’s retirement will be spent with her first grandchild. “I want to spend as much time as I can with that little gal,” she said smiling. Mrs. Rutt is a member of St. John’s Lutheran Church is Denver and listed several activities that she used to enjoy while describing A M a ry la n d man sustained head, injuries in a collision Oct. 7 at 8:55 a.m. at the intersection of South Broad Street and Second Avenue, according to Lititz police.

He is a letter carrier in the Denver area. The next postmaster for the Lititz area will have to meet slightly different requirements than Mrs. Rutt did when she was moved up into the job. “The new person must be a resident of Lititz, for one thing. That wasn’t required when I came along. But I had to go to Philadelphia and go before a board of men that I had never met. Now I expect the decision will still be made by a board, but not like what I had to do.” Florence Rutt will be missed in Lititz, but perhaps while she’s travelling and enjoying her retirement, she’ll drop us a post card. pursuit followed, during which several beer cans were thrown from the window of the car, police said.
