T H E R E S S SERVING THE WARWICK AREA FOR NEARLY A CENTURY \ 98th Year Estab lished April, 1877, as The Sunbeam (Consolidated with The E ltitz Record, 19371 Lititz, Lancaster County, Penna. 17543, Thursday, August 1,1974___________ 10 c<,nt,w?tht^ Pl ia^^tePrecoyuntyby maU___________20 PAGES - No. 19 L i t i t z R e co rd E x p r e s s Photo A young German couple have been visiting Lititz for the past two weeks as members of the American Host Program, an organized tour for teachers of English from Western European countries, and have been touring some of the schools and industries of the area. Shown above with their host family, the John Helters of 53 Front St., are Karin Hildebrandt (left), a college English teacher, and her husband, Hartwin Hildebrandt (second from right), a civil engineer. With them are (left to right) Mrs. Heiter, Mrs. Marsha Heiter Campbell, and John Heiter. German Couple With American Lititz is a long way from Worfelden, Germany, but two residents of that small village feel right at home here. Karin and Hartwin (“Macky”) Hildebrandt are in this country a& members of the American Host Program and are spending two weeks as guests of Mr. and Mrs. John Helter, 53 Front St. They have been touring schools in the area, some industries, shopping centers, and local homes, and also made ihjfge Mile Island, and to Philadelphia and Washington. Their visit here has also been well rounded out with experiences at some of the local highlights - a Boro Council meeting Tuesday night, the outdoor art show last Saturday, Bingy’s Restaurant, the Goldwassar Room at the Sutter, Henny Hershey’s bow and arrow trophy collection, and a Hammer Creek fishing excursion, where incidentally, Macky was well indoctrinated when he fell into the creek. The Hildebrandts lead a busy life in their home country, where they live in the small village of Worfelden, near Frankfurt in Western Germany. Macky, a civil engineer, does concrete research and building material testing, and has been involved with the concrete work for a number of atomic power plants in Germany. Karin, who teaches English and Russian in a college in Mainz, is also assistant mayor of her village. Politics and government are major interests with her, and she readily Visiting Lititz Host Program discusses her views and those of her students about both the German and American governments. Remarking that she has been following the Watergate trials and lately the impeachment hearings, she explained that the United States is considered a powerful, but corrupt government in Germany, especially by the youth. College students there, she explained, believe that the U. S. President has too much power. The youth don’t like this, she said, adding that they have the same objections about Germany’s chancellor. The young couple applied last winter to come to |his country with the American Host Program, and chose the eastern part of the United States from a “historical point of view”. As Karin explains, “Europeans went to the east first and we wanted to, also.” “This is a very friendly country,” Karin went on, adding that she had been warned that people in the larger cities here are cold and hard. “Even in New York City, people were friendly and helpful to us,” she said. To Karin, Lititz is a delight, and not so very different from her home village, which is populated by 2800 Germans and 350 Americans, mostly military families. After their two weeks with the Helters, the couple will leave Friday for another two weeks with a family in Rockville, Md., where they hope to get a closer view of the nation’s capitol. Local Boy Seriously A 14-year old Lititz boy is still in serious condition in the constant care unit of Lancaster General Hospital, where he was taken after he and another youth had a head-on collision while riding their motorcycles on a private trail Friday about 1 p.m. Listed by the hospital in “serious” condition in Kevin Herzer, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Herzer, 502 Woodcrest Ave. He was expected to undergo surgery this week for injuries of the nose and forehead, his family said. Also injured was Dennis Achey, 14, son of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Achey, 18 S. Elm St., who was treated at the hospital and released to the care of his doctor. Hurt in Cycle Crash cornfield between Owl Hill Road and Swarthmore Drive, in the southern end of the borough. The boys were traveling toward each other when they collided at the bend. The trail is heavily used by motorcyclists. Chief Hicks said both boys were wearing helmets. Although both were only 14, and ineligible for drivers’ licences, it is legal for them to ride motorcycles without a license on private property, the chief said. He said that those who are too young to operate the cycles on the streets usually push them on city streets until they arrive at the trails. Damages to the two cycles was estimated at $200 to the Achey bike and $50 to the Herzer bike. Lititz to Protest Putting Any More County Money into CTC With the council president voting no, and the vice-president abstaining, Lititz Boro Council Tuesday night voted to protest to the Lancaster County Commissioners against putting any more county tax money into Conestoga Transportation Company. The subject, as well as the motion that eventually passed, was introduced by C o u n c ilm a n D o n a ld Stauffer, who strongly opposed spending any more of “the taxpayers’ money” on the bus company. “It must be a poorly, poorly run operation,” Stauffer said. He said his motion leaves the door open for the county to take over and rename the bus company, in which case, he said, tax money would not be going into a private operation. “But I don’t really want them (the county) to take it over,” Stauffer added. His motion triggered some controversy among coun-cilmen, who were divided over how strongly they wanted to word their protest to the county commissioners. Council President Curt Amidon, who was on of the strongest backers of the borough’s recent and unsuccessful trial subsidization plan of CTC bus routes to Lititz, asked that the newly formed Transit Authority be given a chance to come up with a plan, and that the borough only ask for a chance to either .igrae with or oppose such a plan, at the same time telling the c o m m i s s io n e r s th a t “otherwise” the borough is opposed to spending any more tax money on the bus company. Amidon said that it was “interesting that the CTC’s deficits had started skyrocketing” after county money started going into the company. However, he added that “a lot of work” was going into trying to find a solution by bus company officials. “I don’t ¿low what they (the Transit Authoirty) are asking for,” Amidon said, “but they shouldn’t make a decision until the municipalities are consulted.” “We’re not going to be consulted,” Council Vice- President Jim Yerger, who later abstained from voting, replied j to Amidon’s statement. “The county commissioners don’t operate that way.” He and Stauffer both pointed out that the county already has Lititz’ “contributions” to the bus company in the form of taxes. Amidon sought an amended motion from Stauffer, but the Councilman held firm to his original motion to oppose spending any more money so long as the CTC is a private operation. “We’re all saying the same thing,” Stauffer told Council. “It depends on how much you want to water it down.” Postal Service In what may prove to be a test case with the U.S. Postal Service, Council also voted to protest that department’s recent decision to discontinue front door delivery of mail to homes on new streets. The decision immediately affects residents of the new street, Skylark Drive , in the eastern section of Lititz, which, according to the Postal Service, must now put up mail boxes along the sidewalk. Boro Manager George Steedle protested that this is “discriminatory” against other residents of the « , and stated he does ; people driving posts into the grass strips along sidewalks. He told Council there are gas lines, TV cables, underground conduits, etc. on the street. He said an inspector from the Postal Service had checked the area and stated that the cables were far enough underground that mail box stakes would not create any problem. However, Steedle said, he still objects to the ruling. Councilman Stauffer said he had already asked Congressman Ed Eshleman to check on this, but pointed out that the Postal Service is no longer an “arm of the government.” “This will be a test case and may cause a temporary hardship if residents must pick up their mail at the post office,” he said. Councilman Bill York charged that the new ruling was actually a strategy move on the part of the Postal Service to “get more money out of the government” by generating a demand from customers for more service. Council pointed out that | Continued on Page 8] la ititz R e co rd E x p r e s s Photo R.I.W. - Rest In Weeds - might be good inscriptions for these tombstones in a neglected cemetery along Newport Road. The stones are in a cemetery on private land, and the owner of the land is responsible for their maintenance. Exactly who owns the land, though, is in question. Cemetery Is Live At Warwick Twp. A neglected cemetery on Newport Road was the subject of an unscheduled slide showing at last Thursday night’s regular meeting of the Warwick Township board of supervisors. Jacob Birkenbine told the supervisors that he became concerned about the condition of the cemetery when he learned that some of his relatives were buried there. It’s located along Newport Road, where it meets Rothsville station Road. Birkenbine’s slides showed debris, leaning tombstones, and a fence pushed partly over by dirt fill from a parking lot for school buses recently constructed on the neighboring property. According to Pennsylvania’s township code, the owner of any property in This Issue Business Directory 16 Church News 14 Classified Ads 18,19 Editorial Page 4 Sports Section Women’s 6,7 12 Issue Meeting which includes a cemetery is responsible for maintaining the cemetery. Cemeteries can be legally closed up, but only after a court order has been obtained. Birkenbine said part of the problem with this cemetery is that there’s some confusion as to who owns the property. In other action, the supervisors read a holding tank ordinance, township ordinance number 33, which will be considered for adoption at the next (Continued on fage 8] Lititz Police Chief George Hicks said the accident occurred at a slight bend in a bike trail around the edge of a Meagan Hoffman, Lititz, won first prize in the 8 to 11 age group of the Children’s Division.
