Queen of Osndles court picked
Twelve girls from the
Warwick High School
School of 1989 have been
named to the Queen of Can­dles
court for this year’s
July 4 celebration in Lititz
Springs Park.
One of the 12 will be
crowned queen at the con­clusion
of the pageant which
follows a day-long celebra­tion
of the nation’s birthday.
Over 5,000 candles will
be lit in the Fairyland of
Candles immediately after
the Queen of Candles pag­eant.
The Queen of Candles
court is selected by ballot of
all members of the Warwick
senior class.
Each student votes for
five girls and the 12 with the
highest number of votes are
named to the court.
The girl who received the
most votes will be crowned
queen, but that name is kept
secret until the night of July
4. . . .
The crown bearer and
flower girl are chosen
through a combination of
re c om m e n d a tio n an d
chance. t
Each first-grade teacher
in the district turns in the
name of one boy and one
girl who the teacher feels
has the necessary maturity.
Those names are then
“put in a hat” and the flower
girl and crown bearer are
drawn at random.
Members of the 1989
Queen of Candles court are:

Arbitrator rules that Raymark
violated the union contract
Union workers at Ray-mark
Friction Co., on strike
since Jan. 22, are headed
back to work after a federal
arbitrator ruled Friday that
the Manheim company vio­lated
a labor contract with
the union.
Union members now are
entided to their jobs back
with full back pay, benefits
and the terms of the original
contract prior to the contract
changes, according to the
ruling of federal labor arbi­trator
Jay Kramer.
“Raymark Friction did
not have the right to change
the terms and conditions of
employment of members of
the bargaining unit repre­sented
by Local 2590 on
Jan. 1, 1989,” Kramer
wrote.
He said union members
“are entitled to be made
whole from the date (Ray­mark
Friction) implemented
the changes to the contract
on Jan. 1, 1989.”
About 400 members of
Local 2590 of the United
Textile Workers of America
went on strike Jan. 22 after
management cut wages 10
percent and made other
changes to a two-year con­tract
that was to end March
31.
The union accused the
company of violating a valid
labor contract and other
unfair labor practices, and
sued Raymark in Federal
District Court. The National
Labor Relations Board also
charged the company with
unfair labor practices.
Raymark Friction, which
purchased the assets of the
Manheim plant from Ray­mark
Industries, claimed it
had not violated the contract
because the agreement had
been reached by a different
com p an y -- Raym ark
Industries.
Both sides agreed to send
the labor dispute to final and
binding arbitration, and
postpone an NLRB hearing
on the dispute.
The arbitrator rejected
Raymark’s argument that it
bargained in good faith with
the union in an effort to
reach a new contract.
“Had Raymark Friction
complied with the legal
obligations as a successor

House
changes
‘games’
bill
By Becky Collins
Record-Express News Editor
The Pennsylvania
House of Representatives
M o n d ay a p p r o v e d
changes to the new state
law governing small
games of chance by
broadening the provi­sions
approved by voters
just one week ago.
The amendment now
goes to the Senate.
The most controversial
section of the amendment
would allow for raising
the maximum cash value
for a single prize from
$500 to $5,000 and per­mitting
clubs to award
prizes based on the state
lottery’s winning daily
number.
The bill making the
changes passed the
House 114-75, despite
protests by some mem­bers
that it would expand
gambling beyond what
voters would have
wanted.
Slate Rep. Jere Strit-tmalter
said in a tele­phone
interview Tuesday
that he had voted against
the amendment.
