will a p p e a r on th e
Democratic ballot. Although
defeated by Reedy in the
May primary election,
Barnhart received the
required number of write-in
votes on the Democratic
ballot, thus enabling him to
appear as a valid candidate
on the Democratic ballot in
this election, even though he
is a registered Republican.
The mayoral race for a
four-year term in Manheim
Borough has James R.
Brosey (R) competing
against John Enterline Jr.
(D) in a highly contested
race.
District Justice
One of the races that
generated the most interest
in the May primary election
was that of District Justice
for Magisterial District 02-3-
09, which encompasses Lititz
Borough, Warwick Township
and Elizabeth Townships.
Tuesday’s general election
will show James L. Garrett
(R) running for a six-year
term against Dean L.
Baublitz (R), who cross-filed
in the May primary, thus
enabling him to appear on

Garth-
'Boss
By Pat Herr
The members of the Lititz
Charter Chapter of the
A m e ric an B u s in e s s
Women’s Association
(ABWA) treated their bosses
to dinner Thursday evening
at its annual “Boss Night”
celebration.
The purpose of this par­ticular
meeting is to bestow
the “Boss of the Year”
award. Each year, some of
the members of the Lititz
ABWA recommend their
bosses for this honor and the
winner is chosen by an
impartial panel of judges.
This year's recipient of the
coveted award is Garth D.
Becker, 15 Woodland Ave.,
Lititz. Becker is vice
president of Huth Engineers
Inc., Lancaster. Visibly
moved by the honor
bestowed upon him, Becker
noted that his work was
made easier for him because
of the dedication to her work
and the efficiency of his
secretary, Mrs. Louis
Cochran, Lititz, who
recommended him for the
honor.
In her recommendation,
Mrs. Cochran stated, “I
believe one of the true tests
of a manager’s ability is how
well his employees manage
without him.” (She was
referring to Becker’s recent
four-month illness, which
prevented him from being on
the job.) She went on to say,
“ it was through his
guidance, patience, trust in
our abilities, and his
leadership over the years
that enabled us to carry out
the jobs that were in
progress (at the time of his
illness, and to tackle the new
jobs that came in over the
next four months.” “....I can
think of no greater asset in a

during his
presence and the ability in
his absence to ‘get the job
done and done right.’ He’s

bed that runs through the
township for hiking and
biking trails.
Hazlett’s proposal ran into
opposition from township
residents attending the
meeting, who said they do
not approve of using com­munity
development funds
because they believe such
federal programs are
wasteful and should be
eliminated.
One resident commented
that he thought community
development funds should be
returned to the federal
government and urged
residents to write to their
legislators stating that they
are opposed to such federal
programs.
Hazlett pointed out that
even if Warwick Township
does not apply for the funds,
the money will still be
spent, but it will be spent in
other townships.
Supervisor Lloyd Rohrer
suggested that Warwick
Township apply for com­munity
development funds
for use in the installation of a
public water system for
Warwick Township instead
of land for recreation.
However, Rohrer noted that
no research had been done to
determine the cost of the
public water system. The
supervisors said they will
take the proposals and
comments under con­sideration.
Rumble Strip
It was announced that the
state highways department
had turned down a Warwick
Township request for rumble
strips to be installed on the
New Rothsville Road at the
intersection with Route 772,
but other safety im­provements
will be made.
PennDOT did agree to
install a “Stop Ahead” sign
on the New Rothsville Road
and paint a white stop line at
the intersection. PennDOT
also suggested the township
put flashing lights on the
“Stop Ahead” sign.
The supervisors said they
will study the cost of in­stalling
flashing lights and
then will decide whether to
install them or push Penn­DOT
further for rumble
strips.
No Smoking
In a two-to-one vote the
supervisors banned smoking
at all future public meetings
held in the Warwick

Man Arrested For Drunk Driving
A Lancaster man was charged by Lititz police with drunk driving following an
accident on South Broad Street, near Marion Street, late Tuesday night.
According to Police Officer Charles Shenenberger, who investigated the
accident, Paul E. Null, 202 Pleasure Road, Lancaster, struck a legally parked car
on South Broad Street, after which he backed up his car approximately 50 feet,
causing it to knock off a lamp post and porch railing on a property owned by
Glenn Zartman in the 200 block of South Broad Street. (See photo above by Kay
Gibble.)
Null suffered minor injuries and was treated on the scene by the Warwick
Ambulance crew. The Lititz Fire Company also responded.
