Picket lines walked in front of high school Wednesday morning until all students had been sent home. No Tax Hike Seen For Warwick Twp. Warwick Township has sidestepped a tax increase again for next year, mostly due to federal revenue sharing funds. The millage will stay at 5 mills if the proposed budget is adopted. Supervisors will review it on Nov. 27 and vote on adoption Dec. 26. “If revenue sharing stops, the township will be in trouble,” supervisors said last Thursday night when the proposed budget was presented. “Revenue sharing money made it possible not to raise taxes the last few years,” chairman of supervisors, William Dussinger, said. “We’ve done well with our revenue sharing—it’s made it easier,” he said. Revenue sharing funds that the township receives amount to three and a half tax mills, Dussinger said. This year the township expects to get $24,224. Dussinger said the township has been using the revenue sharing funds “100 percent for public safety,” and has not used it for anything involving the state’s prevailing wage scale. Under the proposed budget, the township is anticipating ending up with a $19,548 surplus at the end of 1975. It is aniticpating $155,599 in income to the general fund. Of this, $40,000 will be from real estate taxes, and $38,500 from per capita taxes. Projected expenses from the general fund include $19,800 for General Government; $63,920 for police, fire, and building regulation, planning and zoning: $5,000 for sewers; $5,800 for gas and diesel fuel; $8,600 for maintenance of roads and bridges; $14,000 for all insurance policies; $4,631 for social security for township employees. The street lighting fund for Brunnerville and Rothsville is the only fund “running behind,” Hoffer said. He said the township will be ending up with about “$1200 less than the light bills” for those areas and will probably have to increase front footage fees for residents there. One of the biggest budget increases noted is $14,000 for township insurance premiums. This will include an errors and omissions insurance, new in the township, to cover individual township employees in the event of law suits. Boro Exploring New Joint Investment Plan given to all the citizens of the community to set apart the time to share in an effort to give proper thanks to God for blessings He has given us. Lititz borough has already “started the wheels turning” to explore the possibilities of combining borough money with money from other municipalities into one account for investment purposes, Curt Amidon, Lititz Boro Council president, said this week. Attorney General Israel Packel has just issued an official opinion that it is legal for municipal governments in Pennsylvania to combine funds for this purpose. And, in the same vein, PennDOT secretary, jacob Kasaab, has stated that this permits municipalities to combine any of its accounts, including the Liquid Fuels Tax revenues, for investment purposes. Until now, Liquid Fuels Tax money had to be kept in a separate account and could not be comingled with money from other accounts. Amidon told the Record-Express this week that he thinks the attorney general’s official opinion is an “excellent idea.” Essentially, what municipalities would be doing is taking money coming in from taxes and investing surpluses during periods of time when the funds are not needed, Amidon said. It would mean local governments Annual Community Thanksgiving Service at Moravian Church The Annual Community Thanksgiving Service has been planned for Wednesday, Nov. 27, at 7:30 p.m. It will be held in the Lititz Moravian Church, and the Rev. John Denlinger, pastor of St. Luke Church of Christ, will be the preacher for the service. The Offering for the service will be given to CROP, an interdenominational agency which is interested in helping meet the needs of those who suffer throughout the world in the food shortages now so prevalent. Special music for the Thanksgiving Service will be provided by the choir and organists of the Moravian Congregation, and Dr. James Hughes will be in charge of the worship and welcome those who come from area churches and the community to share the service. Others who will be taking part are Mr. Elmer Allwine, a member of the committee preparing the service and local trea su rer of the Warwick Association of Scott Rathkey, son of Mrs. Fay Churches, and Pastor Luke Rathkey who opened her home to Rau and W. Clemens striking teachers during the Wed- Rosenberger. nesday morning picketing, serves coffee to two teachers from the Lititz would have to plan ahead, he stated, since these accounts would probably require a 30-day notice for withdrawal. “The idea of course would be to get up to $100,000 (for investment),” he said. “It would take a number of municipalities to get the liquidity we would need.” Accounts over $100,000 draw higher rates of interest, he explained. Amidon, who is also president of the Manheim-Lititz Council of Governments (COG), which includes Warwick, Elizabeth, and Penn Townships, said this group of municipalities has been discussing the possibilities of joint investments, and that he is currently talking with some banks to see if they are interested in handling this type of an account, or interested in bidding on it. He said banks are now set up with computers to handle this sort of thing. If such an account would be put into operation, it probably would not happen until next spring, after tax bills go out, he said. He added that he expects Boro Council to be discussing the idea “a little” at its meeting next Tuesday. In a release this week, Kassab said that the Auditor General’s office and Treasury Department have concurred in the opinion given by the Attorney General. “It should be noted,” Kasaab said,“that the questions and the opinion are predicated upon assurances that: 1. The funds are adequately secured; 2. A clear audit trail is established; 3. Earnings from each account are individually computed, credited, and recorded; 4. Receipts, disbursements, and transfers are processed through separate accounts where required. Elementary School, Kathey Hughes (center) and Karen Tompos. Both teachers affirmed their position as they said, “We're proud of what we’re doing." As of press time Wednesday, negotiations had not resumed between Warwick District School Board and W a rw ic k E d u c a t io n Association, and no decision had been made as to whether schools would re-open Thursday. Schols were closed down about 9 a.m. as Warwick teachers embarked on Lancaster County’s first teacher strike. The decision on re-opening the schools Thursday will be made later Wednesday and announced either late Wednesday night or early Thursday morning in radio broadcasts, superintendent of schools, Dr. H. Dale Winger, stated. The administration began sending students home from school at 8:50 a.m. Wednesday, after the teacher strike was in progress and it became apparent there were not enough teachers crossing picket lines to man the classrooms. School was canceled for the remainder of Wednesday, and all athletic practices were canceled for the remainder of the strike, Dr. Winger said. A total of 16 teachers, including department heads, crossed picket lines to go to work Wednesday morning. Dr. Winger said he knew as of 5:30 a.m. Wednesday that the strike was going to take place, and was notified officially of it by WEA president, Fran Lyon, at 6:30 a.m. Wednesday. However, he said, he opened the schools “ to permit us to assess the situation on who was coming to work.” “It became apparent that we could not operate the schools,” he said, and Members of the WEA negotiating team and state education association advisors wait in teachers lounge Tuesday night for School Board’s final decision on accepting a fact finders report on negotiations. The team met I s ititz R eco rc l E x p r e s s P h o to s with Board negotiators shortly after.

Bus contractors had been on an “alert” on the situation, and after completing their runs, returned to Warwick schools to take students home. The high school was dismissed first, then the Middle School, and then the elementary schools, Dr. Winger said. He said that announcements updating the situation would be given to news media throughout Wednesday, and Thursday and that radio broadcasts would be made either late Wednesday or early Thursday morning on whether Citizens On Speak Striking Out Teachers schools would reopen on Thursday. Early morning strike scenes were similar at the six schools in the district, Wednesday morning as picketing teachers walked slowly back and forth on sidewalks and driveways leading to schools. A continual light rainfall soaked the signs they carried, bearing statements like: “We don’t want to but...’, “Quality education for our children,” “Help our children,” etc. Picket lines were orderly, and Dr. Winger stated that he was “ extremely pleased” with the conduct of students. He said no disorder or commotion resulted from the situation. Extra police officers were called to most schools to control the traffic that began jamming up as parents transported students to school, and lingered to watch the picket lines. Students, some accompanied by parents, clustered around the entrances to schools. Inside the high school, corridors were empty except for a few of the administrative staff and departments heads, and several teachers who had crossed the picket lines. When students were let into the schools, they were directed to the auditoriums where they waited until i Continued On Page 17] In This Issue Business Directory 14 Church News 12 Classified Ads 18,19 Editorial Page 4 Sports Section 6,7 Women’s 10 What do your neighbors think about the current situation in the Warwick School District? Do the majority of people favor the striking teachers, or do they feel the school board has a right to refuse to bargain on the issues they call management prerogatives? We spoke to some Warwick r e s id e n ts W ed n e sd ay morning as teachers picketed schools all over the district. Some were almost entirely ignorant of the issues, some were apathetic, some refused to offer an opinion and many, though they did voice their ideas, asked that their names not be used in print. One mother, upon returning from taking her children to the Kissel Hill Elementary School, told this reporter that she had just driven through a blockade which “made me mad” . She was so mad, in fact, that she had nothing else to say about the matter. A n o th e r c o n c e rn e d mother, who preferred to remain anonymous saj “I’m concerned about quality of education? Because of this concern, she feels that she would rather her children attend school in the summer than be exposed to teachers who are working under these pressures. She continued, “The school board has given no good reason why they can’t give the teachers the courtesy of granting these requests.” Carson Mellott, 201 Skylark Rd., was determinedly partial toward teacher demands as he candidly told us, “I am in favor of the teachers. I think that Winger is behind it all; he should have been fired in the first place.” Another anonymous speaker offered his general feeling on strikes when he stated, “There are three places unions don’t have a place: fire companies, hospitals and schools. My children and your children have to go to school.” He added that although he didn’t know all the basic issues, and he didn’t know who was right and who was wrong, he still felt that “two wrongs don’t make a right.” His companion voiced a similar view of the situation when he told the Record- Express, “These teachers are supposed to be educated and intelligent enough to sit down and discuss these things calmly.” Mrs. J. Craig Hess, 18 W. Orange St., said in a short interview, “They’re a good bunch of teachers. What they’re asking for is not unfair.” In contrast, a man who wishes to remain anonymous revealed his feelings when he said, “Teachers have no dedication anymore; they’re just out to make money.” On lady felt so strongly about the right of teachers to strike that she opened up her home to those teachers picketing the Lititz Elementary School and made pot after pot of coffee as they streamed in and out of her house all Wednesday morning.
