Youth’s Car
Plunges
Into Stream A 17-year old Lititz youth
miraculously escaped injury
Monday afternoon when his
car skidded down a four foot
embankment along Newport
Road, and then through a
field, ending nose down in a
stream after hitting an
electric pole and knocking
electrical wires down onto
trees across the stream..
Driver of the car was
Edward W. Rosensteel, Jr.,,
308 Front St.
Power in the area was
disrupted for almost two
hours, as electrical wires fell
on trees across the stream,
setting fire to some of the
trees and resulting in ex-i
plosions along the wires.
In spite of the dangerous;
conditions caused by the
wires, the youth walked
away uninjured from his
damaged car.
Police report that the
accident occurred at 4:10
p.m., about 100 feet from the
intersection of Newport and
Brunnerville Roads.
Rosensteel reportedly was
heading west on Newport
Road toward the in­tersection.
Rain had caused
slick roadways and the youth
apparently skidded when he
applied his brakes as he
approached the intersection,
police said.
Police said the car crossed
over into the eastbound lane
and went down a four foot
embankment, then traveled
another 50 feet through a
field, hitting the electric pole
on the way, and ended up in
the stream with the front end
submerged.
Lititz Fire Company was
called to stand by until
PP&L workers arrived ¡atthe
scene to tend the fallen
wires. Traffic was tied up on
Newport Road for about one
and a half hours.
Officer Ray Lausch from
the Warwick Township
Police Department, who
investigated the accident,
charged Rosensteel with
failure to drive on the right
side of the highway.
He estimated damages at
$675 to the front end of the
car and $450 to the electric
pole.
Car above, driven by Edward
Rosensteel, Jr., ended nose down in a
stream Monday afternoon after
skidding across Newport Road, down
an embankment, and across a field,
hitting an electric pole on the way.

First ‘Streakers’ Hit
Lititz Monday Night
Lititz had its first streakers this week—at least the first
ones picked up by the police.
The two streakers-a pair of young men from Lancaster-
-picked a cold rainy night for their nude journey past the
Highlander Laundromat on Rodney Lane.
Police received a complaint Monday at 11:05 p.m. from
a female customer at the laundromat that she saw two
male youths streak past the window of the laundromat,
and then rpake a return trip walking past the window.
The complainant was able to give the police a
description of the two individuals and of their vehicle,
parked nearby.
When Assistant Police Chief Jim Fritz and Officer
Charles Shenenberger arrived at the laundromat, the
streakers were gone, but the two officers later found a car
that fit the description on North Broad Street.
Upon stopping the car, they saw that the driver’s shoes
and socks were lying on the floor, and his passenger’s
clothing was “in disaray.”
The pair was taken to the police station for questioning
and both were issued a citation for disorderly conduct.
Issued citations were Jerry J. Snyder, 18, 331 Lancaster
Ave., Lancaster, and 17 year old Lancaster youth whose
name police did not disclose.
He’s Fooled Mother Nature for 25 Years When trout season opens
Saturday, you may find Ray
Rudy out there trying his
luck with all the other
fishermen. Then again, you
may find him at home in his
den, trying to tie the ultimate
fly to catch the ultimate
lunker.
In fact, many local
fishermen have been using
Rudy’s flies for the past 20
years. He sells through the
mail and the Lititz Sports
Center, and has some
customers who come back
year after year. Many of the
flies are given away as gifts.
Rudy said he’s been tying
flys for 25 years, ever since
he got a fly tying kit for his
12th birthday. And in that
quarter century, he has tied
“ at least 50,000, maybe
100,000”.
One room at Rudy’s 710 S.
Broad St., Lititz, home is
chock full of the fly tiers
materials. Tiny vises,
tweezers, scissors, glue,
lacquer, paint, and, of
course, barbless hooks.
Muskrat skins, deer skins,
and feathers from peacocks,
guineas, ducks, and several
varieties of pheasants are
stuffed into drawers and
lying on shelves.
How many different kinds
of flies are there? “There
are hundreds of patterns,”
Rudy said, “and I have
about 90 percent of them
committed to memory. I can
tie anywhere from a half
dozen to two dozen an hour,
depending on the type of fly.
It’s a nice hobby, but, I’d
hate to have to make a living
tying flies.” Rudy is a
supervisor at Warner-
Lambert, and fly-tying is
strictly a hobby.
“It’s normally not even a
paying hobby,” he said,
“because I usually sink all
Ray Rudy, Lititz’s premiere tie flyer, has been busy
for the past several months tying flies for the opening
day of trout season. This Doctor Burke pattern here
isn’t one you're likely to see on any trout fisherman's
line though, at least on Saturday. Rudy put it in the
vise so it would show up in the photograph.
the money I get back into
more materials.” Some of
those materials are quite
exotic, like jungle cock
feathers and polar bear hair.
“Actually, there’s hardly
any polar bear hair used
anymore. It’s so hard to get,
and so expensive that very
few people bother with it. I
use this instead,” Rudy said,
holding up a piece of shaggy
synthetic carpet.
The idea behind a fly, of
course, is to imitate nature
in an attempt to fool trout.
May flies are the most
imitated insects, and Rudy
showed us several dozen
May fly twins convincing
enough to fool most people.
Or at least the non-angling
reporter - the only thing
missing is the buzz. There
are even different sizes to
duplicate the many steps in
the May fly’s life cycle.
Is fly tying his favorite
hobby, we asked Rudy. “Oh
no, no!” he replied.
“Fishing’s more important
than tying flies. That’s what
fly tying is all about. And if
you don’t fish you might as
well not tie flies.”
Well, then, how many fish
does he catch in a year?
“Well, if I told you how many
fish I catch in a year, most
people would think I was just
telling a fish story. I will say
this, though. I keep very few
of the fish I catch, maybe
only five percent. That’s one
of the beauties of fly fishing.
You can have the sport
without hurting the fish.”

Warwick Students Take
Honors at Science Fair Richard M. Busch again
took honors at the 1974
L an c a ste r City-County
Science Fair, with his
discovery of four previously
unknown prehistoric species
of Crustacea, found during
many hours of searching in
the hills and valleys of
Centre County.
Richard, a junior at
Warwick High School, won
the $100 third prize in overall
awards, as well as the
Eastman Kodak award, and
the Earth and Space Army
Award.
His award-winning study
was “Notice of a New Lower
Devonian Faunule from the
Dalmanites Zone at Curtin,
Pa. with Emphasis on the
Dalmanitacea.”
Richard is the son of Mr.
and Mrs. Richard P. Busch,
508 W. Marion St. Last year
he won the reserve champion
title for his comparative
fossil discovery.

on page 10
His discovery of the fossils
is of great geologic interest
and also has value in oil
exploration. The major oil
supplies in the United States
come from Oriskany for­mations,
and his fossil
discoveries are related to
that group as a subdivision.
His discovery of the fossil
zone is expected to be
published and perhaps lead
to important oil and geologic
discoveries.
Middle School students
also took their share of
awards at the science fair.
Keith Bauchbaum won
third place in General
Science for his project: “The
Effect of Varying Soil
Compactnesses on Ger­mination
of Bean Seeds.”
Fourth place in this
category went to, Lois Lantz
for her project: “A Study of
Embryo Development in the
‘Gallus Gallus.’”
Kim Ressler won sixth
place in General Science for
her project: “The Cooling of
Soup.”
Linda Derek won
honorable mentions in both
General Science and Forest
Fire Crew for her study: “A
Measure of the Flamability
and Polluting Gases
Produced by the Burning of
Selected Clothing and
Building Materials.”
John R. Hartenstine won
honorable mention in
General Science for his study
on “Hovercraft.”
Carolyn Eberly won the
Dental Society award for her
project: “A Study of the Role
of Saliva and PH in the
Dental Decay Process and
the Formation of Plaque.”
Ginny Seaman won the
Pharmaceutical award for
her project: “ Does the
Tranquilizer Sparine Inhibit
the Metabolism of Rodents
and the Growth Rate of
Plants?”
In This Issue
Richard M. Busch, a junior at
Warwick High School, won three
awards, including third place in
overall awards, at the Lancaster City-
County Science Fair for his
description of new fossil species.
