Aided by Richard Vetter, owner of the General Sutter Inn, the duck family did make it across the street-but not without some coaxing... “ That way. You want to go that way,” Vetter explains to the mother duck as she stops outside White Shield for a breather. Traffic stops on Main Street as man leads ducks to water by the Record editorial staff A corrupted version of the patriotic “Stars and Stripes Forever” march begins: “Be kind to your fine feathered friends....” Richard Vetter, owner of the General Sutter Inn on Lititz Square takes those words seriously. Twice this season, he’s adopted mother ducks nesting in a secluded area near the hotel. As ducks-in-waiting, both lived the gourmet’s life. Vetter daily ordered fresh halibut, blue or flounder for them and kept their water bowls filled. Few people knew the first duck family was there, so well had she hidden her unborn brood. When they emerged from the egg state, Mother Duck number one took her ducklings on a long night’s journey to the Lititz Run rippling through the middle of town. Vetter and his employees thought they’d seen the last of ducks nesting in what had become known as “the maternity ward.” That was in early spring. By late May, another batch of eggs was being kept warm by another mother duck. Vetter and company began the second vigil. The daily delivery of halibut, blue and flounder chunks was renewed. Visiting was not encouraged, but as more and more neighbors discovered the duck’s nesting place, it became the norm to see people bending over, directing a form of baby-talk into the bushes by the General Sutter. On Monday, duck number two became the mother of nine fuzzy ducklings. Leaving the nest T h e r e ’s a p o p u la r children’s book by Robert McCormick called “Make Way for Ducklings.” It’s about a family of ducks who decides to live in the city and how a friendly police officer stops traffic for the family of ducklings to safely cross the street. On Monday, fact mirrored fiction as ducklings bom by the side of the Sutter took to the streets of Lititz. Vetter said later he knew from experience with duck number one that the mother duck would take her brood down to the stream. But he thought she’d wait until the early morning hours, as her predecessor had done. Unfortunately, when word got around that the new babies had pushed their way (Turn to Page 10) ...“ Come .Y'vma. you don't want to go back there."

Bypass, alternatives discussed by Linda A. Harris Increasing numbers of vehicles causing interminable delays for motorists traveling routes 501 and 72 may be just a hint of things to come if planners and residents don’t begin to address the issues now. That seemed to be the only concrete conclusion reached June 18 as approximately 100 residents, businessmen, municipal officials, county planners, a PennDOT official and a county commissioner met at Warwick Middle School to discuss travel in and out of Lititz and Manheim. The meeting was the latest of four initiated by Warwick Township Supervisor Roy Irvin and Lititz Borough Councilman Russ Pettyjohn. Previous meetings between municipal officials in March and April and a public meeting in May resulted in maps showing present roadways and possible spurs and bypasses. Those ideas were the jump-off point of the June 18 meeting.F uture issues After a brief introduction of the discussions held to date, Pettyjohn turned the meeting over to John R. Ahlfeld, county planning commission director, who explained that the county was presently in the process of updating the county comprehensive plan. Ahlfeld noted that future plans for routes 501 and 72, including a possible bypass, is one of three issues which must be addressed in the next six months by the county planners. The other two issues are the routes 23 and 30 connection and the old beltway concept for Lancaster. He said he was pleased by the large turnout and hoped that such meetings would help county planners come up with an idea they could present to PennDOT. “We must speak with a unified voice if we are to get anything accomplished,” he asserted. A number of those attending questioned the cost of a bypass, the time such a project would take and the effect on the economies of Lititz and Manheim. Mixed emotions Dan Lane, Manheim Borough secretary, noted that he had spoken with a number of individuals and businessmen in his com- (Turnto Page 22) Early deadlines R e co rd E x p re s s deadlines in both the a d v e r tis in g and editorial departments have been moved to an earlier day for the issue of July 1.

For over two centuries, Moravian Church Square has remained a tranquil oasis of constancy in a changing world. Moravian Church celebrates sanctuary’s 200th year by Linda A. Harris Because the history of Lititz and of the Lititz Moravian Church areclosely interwoven, members of the historic congregation are inviting residents to join them for an eight-day celebration to mark the dedication of the present sanctuary 200 years ago. The Rev. Roger Knisely, pastor of the congregation, which was organized Feb..9, 1749, recently released details of the celebration, including the writing of a new a n th em , a congregational dinner, the return of the Pageant of Light and Sound, first shown in Lititz in honor of the Bicentennial in 1976. In addition, a special pageant has been written by three members and will be presented by a cast of 35. Theme Announced The theme of the event is “Recalling the Past ■ - - Building for the Future.” On Aug. 9, Holy Communion will be observed at the 8 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. services, while the Pageant of Light and Sound, “If These Walls Could Speak,” will be presented at Church Square at 9 p.m. The pageant will In this issue Editorial Sports Section Social Manheim Church 4 6,7,8 12,13 14 16 Business Directory 17,18 Classified 19,20,21 also be presented Aug. 10-12 at 9 p.m. On Aug. 13 at 8 p.m., on the a n n iv e r s a ry of the dedication, the congregation will present the pageant, “Historical Sketches in the Life of the Lititz Moravian Church. The one-hour program will be followed by the Pageant of Light and Sound at 9 p.m. On Aug. 14, a congregational dinner will be held at the Warwick Middle School cafeteria at 6 p.m., followed by an anniversary program at the Warwick Middle School auditorium at 7 p.m. The Pageant of Light and Sound will be presented at Church Square at 9 p.m. On Aug. 15, the church p age ant, “ Historical Sketches in the Life of the Lititz Moravian Church,” will be presented at 8 p.m., followed by the Pageant in Light and Sound at 9 p.m. Both will be presented at Church Square. The celebration concludes Aug. 16 with an anniversary Lovefeast at 10 a.m. at the church and the Pageant of Light and Sound at Church Square at 9 p.m. Members Write “Historical Sketches in the Life of the Lititz Moravian Church,” written by members Daniel Graybill Jr., Bob Derek and Dale Shelley, looks at the history in both a serious and in a light-hearted way, according to Shelley. Thirty-five m em b e rs of th e (Turn to Page 2) Moravian arch to be dedicated Sunday by Becky Collins “Selig sind die Zodten die in dem Herm sterben” is the German verse inscribed on the archway leading visitors into the tranquility of God’s Acre. On the reverse side of the archway is the English v e r s e , “ I am the Resurrection and the Life.” The archway’s scriptural message is not only applicable for its placement at the entrance to the Moravian cemetery, its place in Lititz history has been retraced and is as solid as the limestone pillars which provide its support. The first burial at God’s Acre was a three-year-old child who was buried in the field on November 8,1758. At that time a low wall of loose fieldstones surrounded the cemetery. The wall was in place until sometime in the period 1810 to 1820 when this stone wall was replaced by a neat fence of pales and a noble entrance gate. The arched top of the gate on the side of approach was inscribed with the G e rm an te x t from Revelations 14:13b. The archway stood at the entrance to God’s Acre for approximately 30 years. Around 1850, the arch was removed without any attempt at restoration. Interest in erecting a second arch at the entrance swelled during the 1960s to 1980s. A committee was appointed in 1982 to investigate the various types of arches in use in other God’s Acres in Europe and North America and the real work began in earnest. Money for the archway was provided through memorial donations from the Lititz Congregation. The new archway will be dedicated during the 10:30 service on Sunday, June 28. According to the Rev. Roger A. Knisely, senior pastor of the Moravian Congregation, the regular service will begin in the church sanctuary and will process to the entrance to God’s Acre for the dedication ceremony. Rev. Knisely will speak on the “One Church” emphasizing the body of the church as including those members who have gone before and those who now embody the congregation.

The arched entryway into the cemetery has a long history and is the result of untiring efforts by members of the Lititz Congregation. The arch will be dedicated during a special ceremony on Sunday. Expansion plans detailed for Kissel Hill Elementary by Becky Collins Architectural plans for the expansion of Kissel Hill Elementary were unveiled during a public meeting Monday by architect Tom Marsenkowski, an architect with the firm of Reese, Lower, Patrick and Scott. The new two-story addition will add over 23 thousand square feet to the existing structure, divided into ten classrooms. The addition will be located on the southeast side of the existing facility and will cost the school district an estimated $2,165,000. In his presentation to the public during Monday night’s Act 34 hearing, Dr. John R. Bonfield, superintendent of schools, noted that rapid population growth in the school district has made expansion projects at Kissel Hill and John Beck Elementary schools a necessity. Plans for the expansion project were presented to th e D e p a rtm e n t of Education on June 1. “The DOE felt that our plans for the expansion were right on schedule according to our needs,” Bonfield commented. “The only change they thought needed to be made was to construct ad-ditonal space in the school library,” he added. That suggestion has been implemented into thp architect’s plans which now call for an additional 1,700 square feet in the library. The district has begun to consider plans for additions at the high school, as studies indicate a continually growing popilation in the Warwick are?. Those same figures show an increase from the present student cenr us of 451 to 506 by the 1988-39 school year at Kissel Hill Elementary. They indicate a slight drop in student population at Warwick High School that year although the projected figures rise by over one hundred students the next year. According to the school district’s time line, bids for the construction project at Kissel Hill Elementary will be awarded at their January 19,1988 meeting. Construction on the project is to begin during the Spring of 1988 with completion expected by the beginning of school in September.
