Knit dress shirts, fancies and solids, are
big fashion news this spring, says Mike
Hess, young owner of the J . B. Hess Men’s
Store, 11 S. Broad St. Mike is wearing one
of his line of classic look sport coats.
Behind the necktie counter is the entrance
to the store’s newly opened "Ernie’s
Underground,” a men's boutique shop.
’Underground' Big
News from Hess's
(Editor’s Note: This is the 14th
in a series of articles to acquaint
our readers with our local
retailers. The 15th article will
appear next week.)
New horizons have appeared
for fashion conscious men and
boys in the area, since Mike Hess
opened the newest part of his
men’s clothing store, an all-male
boutique with a definite young
and casual flavor.
“Ernie’s Underground,” a
whole downstairs full of tops and
bottoms with a youthful image, is
the latest addition to the J. B.
Hess Men’s Store, 11S. Broad St.
Through a beaded curtain, and
down a flight of steps, customers
are greeted by a dungaree-clad
mannequin named “ E rn ie,”
standing host at the door of the
“Underground.” Featured are
many of the newest knits and
polyester sport tops, sweaters,
slacks and, of course, the
perennial blue jeans.
A new line of prep sizes is also
on hand now at Hess’s, says the
store’s 23-year old owner,
Michael Hess, probably the
youngest retailer merchant in
town.
This new line includes Farah
and Lee slacks, size 25 waists and
up, and sizes 14-20 in a big
selection of Kaynee and Van
Heusen shirts.
Mike, who is vice president of
the Lititz Retailers Association,
makes a point of keeping up on
trends in his business.
Knit dress shirts, both solids

and fancies, lohg and short
sleeves, are new in Lititz this
Spring, he says. Reds and purples
are the big colors right now and
the SV^A-inch necktie widths, in
bright colors, are still big.
Trends in men’s fashions are
going to a more classic look, Mike
says. More plaids and checks are
called for, although bright colors
are expected to stay around for a
few more seasons yet.

orange and white ambulance that
might save your life someday.
You may have seen it already,
as it was pressed into service
within 24 hours after it was
brought into town.
It was purchased for (In* un-.i
by the Lititz Chapter of American
Business Clubs, at a cost of
$14,000, the fourth ambulance the
AMBUC’s have purchased since
the association’s founding in
September 1956.
The unsung heroes of this line
ambulance and its service are the
30 volunteer drivers and at­tendants,
on call around the clo:k
every day and night of the week,
and on whose skill and training
your life may someday depend.
Last year, the Warwick am­bulance
carried nearly fOO
persons to and from hospitals.
Last month, their calls hit a peak
of 62, the most calls they’ve ever
had in any one month. According
to Robert Derek, secretary-treasurer
of the association, it is
second only to the hospitals in use
in the county.
This year’s tally could be mo:e
or less than last year, but if ycy
are one of the statistics, you wil
find out in a hurry that no price
tag can be put on the dedicatioi
and loyalty of these men wlo
literally “drop everything” whm

Who are these men and why d)
they do it? ,

association this year, which
means he not only has his own
regular day on call, but often has
to fill in when someone can’t
make it.
Ken Garner, 508 Spring Ave.,-
advisor to Explorer Post 154, a
group of teenage boys and gilrs
who train with the ambulance
corps, and a driver himself for
the past seven years, does a 6
p.m. Friday to midnight
Saturday shift on call for the
ambulance.
“It’s doing something for your
neighbor,” Ken, also a family
man, tries to explain, when asked
why he gives up his time for this
cause. “You feel pretty darn good
after you’ve helped somebody.”
Rev. Harold Young, 107 N.
Cedar St., is starting his third
year as a driver and goes on call
every Monday. Reverend Young
is pastor of the United Methodist
Church, a full time job if ever
there was one. Why does he give
up a day of his time for the am­bulance
service?
“It’s important to have a
community ambulance, since so
many hospitals don’t go out this ,
far,” says this busy minister. “I
find it a chanee of Dace after a
hectic weekend at church,” he
says, adding with a touch of
humour—“if the people aren’t too
heavy to lift.”
Christ Koehler, 113 S. Cedar
St., is the only one of the original
ambulance corps still driving,
and to him, the service is more
important now than ever. He
used to get after the fire company
to buy an ambulance, he tells us,
and when he heard the ABC’s
were buying one, he volunteered
to be a driver.
That was in 1956. Today, though
not a regular driver, he fills in if
needed and takes care of the
linens for the corps.
Why is he still involved?
“I would feel hurt if we needed
an ambulance and couldn’t get a
driver,” he says. “It’s not always
the nicest thing to do, going on an
ambulance call, but it’s needed.”
Not restricted to men, the corps
includes two women, both
qualified as drivers and at­tendants
