Business was relegated to North Lane along Lititz Springs Creek. But a spring which supplied water for this plan dried up. Broad Street became a major highway. There were other changes. And the early plan was soon changed considerably. So reports Hiram M. Eberly, well-known Lititz historian, in the second of a two-part, illustrated article this week appearing on page 14. Eberly, who has done literally dozens of articles on Lititz history, considers this series, begun last week, as the most important work he has ever done on the town. Don't miss it.

The second bid will be received for the modification to the borough swimming pool bath house facilities.

Council will discuss the proposed reorganization for the Lititz Community Center. Council will receive a request to restrict parking on Maple Lane between West Orange Street and Lock Up Lane. Borough Manager George Steedle will present $100 to council from St. Paul's Lutheran Church as a token payment for police protection during the past year. Editor's Note: This is the first in a new series of articles to acquaint our readers with our local retailers. The second article will appear next week. The original Western Auto franchise store in Lititz was located next to Bingeman’s Restaurant on North Broad Street. The front was painted red and it was heated only with a spaceheater. Floyd Hagy related these facts about his dealership, now in it’s twenty-first year, with considerable humor and a friendly smile, when interviewed last week. Hagy came to Lititz from Reamstown where he had built and operated a service station along Route 222. After an illness, he could no longer work outdoors and had to find another line of work. The building he rented on North Broad Street was owned by Steve Grosh. Hagy said he felt the town was opposed to the store at first because they considered it to be a “chain” store. Among his memories of those early beginnings was the fact that he had to hand-pump the tires that he sold. Probably his fondest recollection is that of the pony cart and Santa Claus. In the early 1950’s, the Western Auto Santa would go around town in a pony cart at Christmas time and all the children would come out to welcome him. After about four years on North Broad Street, Hagy found it Park Board Re-Elects Biemesderfer, Cites Vandalism and Rejects Old Roebuck Fountain Floyd Hagy, operator of tne Lititz Western Auto store, is shown with a line of fishing equipment in his store on East Main Street. Hagy has been a local retailer for over 20 years. necessary to move his store. Following a considerable search, the Western Auto was moved to East Main Street. The building was remodeled before they moved in, and two additions have been made since. The store carries sporting goods, toys, automotive supplies, TV’s, radios and small appliances. Now they also have a full automotive service department, with a service bay and automatic lift. Hagy and his wife, Thelma; are the parents of four children: Christine Sheppard, Lansdale; Constance Rannels, Union Deposit; Thomas, 151 Front Street, Lititz; and Andy, age 10. They also have a foster son, Raymond Alvarez of Neffsville and one grandson. Grace Brethren to Build New Church The Grace Brethren Church of Lititz has chosen a 6.6 acre plot on the Howard L. Erb Farm as the site for their new church building. Lititz Bank Consolidation Is Held Up ‘Indefinitely’ The consolidation of the Farmers National Bank of Lititz and the First National Bank of Intercourse has been “held up indefinitely” because of unexpected state tax complications, Jack Watson, Lititz bank president, confirmed this week. While Watson said that the consolidation has been formally approved and can be completed at any time, shareholders have been informed that “we won’t put it together until we get this fax matter resolved.” Watson declined to comment on the “snag”, but it apparently involves a state interpretation of “unrealized capital gains” which is different from the federal interpretation. Under federal tax law, increased stock value is not taxed until the stock is sold, but apparently the state, in recent rulings, has been taxing this increased value whenever a consolidation or merger occurs — in effect, treating consolidated and merged stock for tax purposes as though it had been sold. Located at the corner ot Manheim Street and W. Lincoln Avenue, the site promises easy access to people from the entire area, and provides more than adequate space for future development. Ralph Hall, of the Brethren Architectural Service, Winona Lake, Ind., will serve as architect for the project, which is scheduled to begin in July. Preliminary plans are now being drawn up. The local congregation, which currently holds Sunday services in the Lititz Community Center, is another branch of the Grace Brethren Church of Greater Lancaster (Rohrerstown), a vibrant testimony that has fathered five new churches in the ten years of its existance. The Grace Brethren Church of Lititz is a member of the National Fellowship of Brethren Churches (NFBC) and receives guidance and support from both District and National Home Mission Boards. The NFBC is a grouping of Brethren Churches that are known for strong Bible teaching ministries, and non-involvement with the National and World Council of Churches. Those interested in additional information about the local congregation are invited to call Jerry R. Young, pastor, 665-2322. Election of officers, vandalism, a decision not to buy the Roebuck Fountain and discussion of the coming year’s program were among topics at the reorganizations meeting of the Lititz Springs Park, Inc., Tuesday night. George K. Biemesderfer was ' re-elected president. Other officers are: Elmer M. Murry, vice president and Douglas L. Min-nich, secretary-treasurer. Elmer H.

Walls, Recording and Corresponding Secretary. Lengthy discussions centered around two items continued on the agenda : posting of rules and regulations governing the park area, and returning the Roebuck Fountain to Lititz, namely to the park grounds. Misconduct and continued vandalism on park grounds have been of great concenrns to the trustees. Harold P. Bortz, G ro u n d s S u p e r in te n d e n t, reported that the public restrooms are now completely boarded to prevent further destruction to the area. Regulations effected in 1967 were reviews and will be posted and be enforced in the near future. Despite favorable comments and encouragement from others within the community, the board voted to rescind its motion on May, 1970 or purchase the Roebuck Fountain originally _ dedicated on October 1, 1895 and placed on the square in Lititz. Presently owned by a Lancaster antique dealer who felt the fountain should be returned to the community, the trustees, after considered debate, on purchase and installation of this antique fountain the the park area, cast a “nay” majority vote with funding the decisive factor. A recent tour of the park area disclosed the necessity for removal of additional trees, including remaining American Elms and several storm-damaged maples. The trustees were also confronted with the replacement of a heavy duty tractor, tables and benches beyound re-painting and repair. The board emphasied: On the surface, the park continues forever green, forever beautiful. Behind the scenes there is much maintenance and good care, earnest and sincere efforts by trustees past and present, as well as individual and collective interest from volunteers who paint and plant and contribute many hours of their time to these public areas. And, behind the scenes, are the large and small contributions that also continue to “balance the budget” , to hopefully add improvements to the park grounds. The good government of Lititz Springs Park-of any park, in any area - continues to grow in responsibilities, in cost, in care. This first meeting of the year alerted trustees for this community’s park to priorities and problems. Biemesderfer will announce his General Committees a t the’ February meeting. School Board Considers a Student Grievance In recent years, new state legislation has brought teacher grievances and procedures in handling them to the fore. At the Warwick School Board meeting Tuesday night, student grievances and how to handle them were discussed briefly. In the end, the board voted six to two not to put a letter from a 14-year old student on the minutes. The student had committed three unexcused absences and that the particular student should be allowed to make up a test which was missed. Dr. H. Dale Winger, school district superintendent, after stating that he would check into the specific situation, also advised that the board should consider developing a policy on making a day for students to attend the Farm Show, as many plained about being penalized by other schools do. being kept after school because of Board member Dr. Roy Yeager cautioned, however, that it’s very difficult for teachers to conduct school with large numbers of students absent during the Farm Show and he advised against doing anything which would missing one day of school to attend the Farm Show. Board member Raymond Groff who received the letter and asked that it be put on the minutes, contended students were per- Woman's Club Plans Ball The Lititz Woman’s Club met on Monday evening at the General Sutter Inn.

William Owens, board member, then moved that the letter not be put on the minutes on the grounds that this is a matter which properly should have been presented to and handled by the school administration. Owens said the matter would have received much faster attention this way and he said the board shouldn’t be involved in details of this nature. Owens’ motion was adopted six to two with members Raymond Groff and Carl Reedy opposing. In other action, Woodrow W. Neidermyer, 509 Kissel Hill Road, Lititz, was reappointed as a five-year member of the Lititz Area School Authority. The board also named Thomas W. Fish, Strasburg, a mathematics and physics instructor at Warwick Senior High School to replace Barry O. Smith, who is the new administrative assistant at Warwick Middle School.

The trustees were also confronted with the replacement of a heavy duty tractor, tables and benches beyound re-painting and repair. The board emphasied: On the surface, the park continues forever green, forever beautiful.
