Paid Cash For Emergency Vehicle
Warwick Ambulance Assn.
Puts New Unit Into Service
The Warwick Community
Ambulance Association is
now the proud owner of a
brand new 1982 McCoy-
Miller ambulance. Joe Van
Marter, treasurer of the
American Business Club of
Lititz, presented the keys to
the new emergency vehicle
to Dale Winters, president of
the association.
The new unit is part of the
on-going program to con­tinually
update the equip­ment
used by the Ambulance
Association. The new unit
was purchased from Spitler
S & S, of Montoursville, Fa.,
at a cost of $48,000. Through
Warwick’s Subscription
program and donations from
the beautiful people of the
Warwick a r e a the
association was able to pay
cash for the new unit.
The assets of Warwick
Community Ambulance
Association are owned by the
American Business Club of
Lititz.
The club through the
ambulance committee and
Joe Van Marte r, as
treasurer, handle the
policies and finances ap­plicable
to the continuing
operations.
The functional operation of
the association is by a very
dedicated group of ap­proximately
40 volunteers
which make up the Warwick
Am b u lan c e D riv e rs
Association, under the
leadership of Dale Winters
as president.
Last year this group of
highly trained volunteers
handled 1,044 calls with as
many as 110 in a single
month« These calls consisted
of both emergency and
routine type calls, as well as
th e many com m n ity
assistances that they per­form.
The American Business
Club of Lititz and the
Warwick Community
Ambulance Association has
been able to provide basic
life support to the Warwick
Community for the last 26
years only through the
support so generously given
by the community, and they
are proud to have been able
to do,this.
The Lititz Recreation was
given permission by
Borough Council Tuesday
night to construct a BMX
track (bicycle moto-cross
track) on borough land in the
area behind the Lititz
Springs Swimming Pool for
a probationary period of one
year. The area requested is
the sloped area behind the
pool, which is between the
pool and the railroad tracks.
The Rec Center had
requested the track in order
to provide an acitivity for the
youth of the community. The
Rec Center hopes to have a
BMX club, which would start
out on a training and in­structional
basis. If it grows,
the Rec Center will sponsor
racing events for both local
youth and expect it to bring
in riders from surrounding
counties, according to
comments made at May’s
council meeting.
According to Kiralfy, Rec
Center Director, these races
will take place only if the
track is sanctioned by the
Am e ric an B icy c le
Association because the
association would approve
the track for safety, proper
requirements and would
give guidance and in­surance.
According to Rodney
Moseman, of Bicycle World,
the bikes used would be a 20-
inch wheel bike, heavily
reinforced which is made to
ride on a dirt track. They do
not contain motors. He also
noted a great interest on the
part of the young people of
the community in this
project and noted that the
Rec Center is trying to fulfill
the needs of that group. He
told council that a similar
track in Reading draws
about 300 participants and
that some area youth go
there to engage in the sport.
Young people up to age 20
participate.
A motion made by
Councilman Tschudy was
passed which will require
Kiralfy to include Lititz
Borough on the insurance
policy that will cover the
BMX track.
About six residents of the
Cardinal Road area were
again present to complain
once again about the
problems of flooding
following heavy rains and
wanted to find out exactly
what council intended to do
to alleviate the problem.

The Warwick Township
Board of Supervisors voted
unanimously to appoint Jay
Ebersole zoning officer,
effective July 1, at its
meeting Thursday night.
The motion made by
Supervisor William Hazlett
was amended by Steve
Wallace, chairman, to in­clude
asking Marvin Feiler
to stay on as consultant.
Wallace also said the
township appreciates the
fine, loyal work that has
been done by Feiler.
In other business, the
supervisors:
• Applied for $8,793.20 in
county fuel monies to be
used to stabilize the
shoulders on Pierson and
Orchard Roads and to
resurface the following
roads with chip and oil:
Lititz Run Road, Stoney
Lane, Snyder Hill Road,
Look Out Lane, and Rohrer’s
Quarry jtoad. Thé estimated'
cost of the roads project is
$25,400.
• Announced the receipt of
a letter from the state
confirming Altha Landis as

a possible use for Com­munity

Lester Guyton, 624 Owl Hill

recreation facilities, parks
and playgrounds be built in

help in its attempt to find a
new site and an engineering
study for construction.

Harry Zeller for a feasibility
study to be made concerning
