Dale Winger that an inner wall leakage had been discovered by the general contractor, Samuel E. Long, Lancaster. According to Dr. Wingfer, the architect has said the deteriorating wall is caused by rising ground level water and that the wall should be completely replaced. Dr. Winger explained that the architects, Shenk and Seibert, Wyomlssing, Pa., propose to tear out all of one 27-foot wall and about three feet of an adjoining wall. He has given the school district the option of replacing the original wooden studding with new wood studding, at a cost of $558, or to replace the deteriorating portion with the steel and concrete at a cost of $1,116. After consideration of the situation, the directors voted to pay the greater cost for steel and concrete reinforcement as an assurance against future deterioration. Art Room Leakage Dr. Winger brought up the subject of the water leakage that had been apparent in the art room “for years.” He explained that the water causes plaster to come off the walls and the floor to buckle. He said that excavation of the wall reveled the problem extended beyond the original estimation. Continued excavation led to the discovery that a wall beyond the first wall would also need to be sealed and waterproofed. Total cost for the waters proofing and sealing was given as $1,438. Directors authorized the operation and approved payment upon fulfillment of the work. Sink« Twe Lititz Elementary teachers were on hand to express the need for sinks in every classroom from the primary grades (K,l,2) through the intermediate grades (3,4,5). They noted that intermediate students make good use of sinks in projects including plants and animals in the classroom and that room sinks allow the children to wash their hands and get a drink without interrupting the teacher who may be involved with other groups at the time. Principal Jack Edgerton told directors that according to a poll of Lititz Elementary teachers taken two years ago, he had received no requests from teachers of the elementary grades for sinks in their rooms. Directors were concerned that in addition to the expense for sinks and plumbing, there would also be the expense of adding tile aprons around each sink to protect the carpeting being put in the rooms. Director Raymond Groff suggested doing away with the idea of carpeting if the cost began to look too high. A decision was made to contact the architects and get a cost estimate on sinks, tile aprons, plumbing and o th e r accommodations before making the final authorization. Dr. Winger mentioned that a sump pump was being Installed inside the building and would be attached to an emergency power system in order to assure its operation in the case of a power failure during a storm. ■ Heating-Plumbing At Dr. Winger’s s u g g e s tio n , d ir e c to r s authorised payment of plumbing c o n tra c to rs , Zimmerman and Bitts, upon completion of a caulking job which washed out, and the release of the contractors on phase one of the project under the same stipulations. Dr. Winger told directors some faults had been found in the new heating system which had not been working at peak efficiency. He said an engineer had discovered, among other things, that a heating pipe was placed too low and two balancing valves had been put in backwards. The automatic changeover from night temperature (80 degrees) to day temperature (68 degrees) which should have taken place every day at 4 a.m. was having to be operated manually and, in fact, during very cold weather, the system was being left on 68 degrees for 24 hour periods. Dr. Winger explained that the heating contractor, Harry A. Ressler, Inc., Mountville, would dismantle and correct the faulty portions of the system during the two days of winter vacation in February. State Aid Ratio Loss Dr. Winger reported the second highest state aid ration per pupil loss to the district in six years. According to the superintendent, the state aid ratio is now set at $750 per pupil, but the real cost of educating a pupil is $1090 for elementary pupils and $1200 for high school pupils. Because of the Warwick school district’s gain in real estate market value over the years, the state aid ratio to the district has gradually decreased until the district stands to lose $42,000 on the 1976-77 school budget. Said Dr. Winger, that amounts to two mills of real estate tax.

Paul Paes Confirms Will Work for State LttltE 2t«cord Sxproat Kioto Owned and operated by Bob Rosenberg for yèürs( the lunchwagon has been a regular Saturday stop for weekend shoppers in the boro since 1921. Former county commissioner Paul Paes said Tuesday night that his new post as a liaison between the State House and local government is an “ experimental” one and only a temporary one for him. Although he has not received official confirmation from House Republican leader, Robert Butera, Paes said the job is already in effect. Some of the problems he is already working on, he said, are funding for the Office trf the Aging, state reimbursement for Conestoga View and some other county homes, and uniform election laws throughout the state. Paes said he was selected for the job because he knows most of the county commissioners in the state. knows the legislators, and also knows the problems of state and local government. The Governor’s office has “all types of people out running around” gathering information, Paes said, but the legislature has had to depend on lobbyists for public input. The new post will pay a salary of $13,000 a year, Paes confirmed. Asked if the new post will have any effect on a decision to seek reelection as county GOP chairman, Paes replied onlyttwHie would be making that decision within the next month. He finished a term as Lancaster County Commissioner as of January 5. A resident of Refton, Paes and his wife, Betty, own and operate the Lititz Upholstery Center at South Broad and Lemon Streets. Pondering who ordered a hamburger and who ordered a hot dog takes up most of Stan Miller’s Saturdays since he bought Rosey’s Lunchwagon. Still a senior in high school, Stan is on his way to success in the world of short order cooking. New J.P., New J.P. Office For Lititz In Bicentennial Year By April of this, our Bicentennial year, Justice Sharron A. Simpkins is scheduled to be presiding over hearings in a newly c o n s tru c te d d i s t r i c t magistrate’s office north of Lititz along the west side of Route 501. The announcement by the Lancaster County Court was made a week ago and ended two weeks of clamor over the moving of the district magistrate’s facilities to an office at 9 S. Broad St. Residents and retailers had been against the move from the start and objected via a petition and public outcry that the location was unacceptable. Controversy also centered around the fact that the building belonged to the aunt of the wife of former County Commissioner Paul F. Paes, who, with Commissioner Raymond Herr, had signed the six-year lease for $400 a month. Mr. and Mrs. Richard Flanagan, owners of the property, decided to give up the lease last week, and the county was then free to look elsewhere for a new district magistrate’s office. Log Cabin President Judge W. Hensel Brown and the county c om m is s io n e rs h av e authorized the building of new facilities to be constructed by Hollinger Enterprises, Inc., along Route 501 within Warwick Township. Judge Brown has P j S f f l l ! J i m 1 described the proposed building as “in keeping with the Bicentennial theme” in that it will be constructed of logs. Plans call for 900 square feet of office space with six parking spaces. Facilities for additional parking during hearings will be made available. Until April, District Justice Simpkins will remain at her office at 130 E. Main St. in a building owned by the Denver and Ephrata Telephone and Telegraph Co. "I think it’s going to bv fine,” said the new Lititz magistrate in a recent conversation with the Record Express. “The effect of a log cabin will be nice for Lititz during the Bicentennial year,” she noted. She went on to explain, “ Lititz deserves a good J.P.’s office because the office of district magistrate itself deserves a building of dignity.” Justice Simpkins, sworn in as new district magistrate for Lititz on January 5, told the Record Express she had been working behind the scenes to fight against the lease on the Flanagan building since she first learned about it 15 minutes after the lease had been signed on December 31. New Chef In Lunchwagon On Square Mrs. Simpkins said she went to Judge Brown on Fri., Jan. 2, and complained that she had not been informed prior to the signing. She told him she objected to the location and that she was aware local police and retailers also objected to the use of the Flanagan building as a J.P. office. The Magistrate reported that Judge Brown told her not to make any public statements on the situation until the matter was settled because he was working on it. However, Justice Simpkins told the Record she had been in contact with many residents and merchants of Lititz and noted that she had been “working for the people of Lititz” to get the office moved to another location. By Bonnie Szymanski In case you hadn’t noticed . . . Rosey’s Saturday Lunchwagon on the Square in Lititz isn’t run by Rosey anymore. Since the end of November, the little lunchwagon has had a new chef: Stan Miller of Lititz R3. Stan, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Miller, is a young man who would make a Horatio Alger character look like a Dead End Kid. When other students in the Manheim Township High School Class of ’76 are sleeping soundly in the promise of two more hours of sleep, Stan is up at 4:45 every morning to help his brother Paul milk cows and complete morning chores at the Spruce Villa Dairy farm where Paul works. After school, when classmates stream out of the building heading for football practice, play rehearsal of just a slow walk to a buddy’s house Stan heads back to the farm to milk the same cows he milked that morning, the ones that will be ready to be milked again at 5:30 a.m. Extra Income But, when we asked the obvious question - “Why did you take on yet another job?” - Stan said, “I needed an extra income. The job with my brother (only) pays for my car.” So when he saw Bob Rosenberg’s advertisement to sell the old lunchwagon, Stan saw his future flash before his eyes in the form of hamburgers, hot dogs and orange drink. Rosenberg until recently had been owner and operator of the lunchwagon as well as Rosey’s Cone Shop on Front Street. Now a real estate salesman, Rosenberg no longer runs the ice cream shop or the lunchwagon, business that had been in the Rosenberg family since 1921 when his father, Arthur, parked the first Rosey’s lunchwagon on the Square in anticipation of all the hungry people who would be in town for the week’s shopping. “Secret” Recipe “ I didn’t advertise because I didn’t want them (the public) to know.” Stan admitted. “ I was afraid they’d try to tell the difference in the hamburgers.” In fact, Rosenberg sold his “secret” recipe along with the 1949 lunchwagon, and Stan has been making the burgers according to the time-and-taste-proven standards; so, if anyone thinks Stan’s hamburgers taste different than Rosey’s did, it’s all in their mind. Yes, we did say the lunchwagon was a 1949 vintage; but the most amazing part is that there are only 4,212 original miles on the truck. Stan explained that he’s put 100 miles on it since he purchased the truck and will probably run the mileage up faster than Rosenberg did because he lives about three or four miles from the Square at Peaceful Hollow Farm on the Fruitville Pike. Rosenberg logged only about one mile a week driving from Front Street to the Square and back. A farm boy at heart, Stan hopes to be able to buy his own farm some day, and since farms no longer come cheap, he’s starting to build his savings account early by feeding the Saturday shoppers. “My brother and parents thought I was crazy,” laughed Stan as he recalled their reaction when he told them he wanted to buy the lunchwagon. They thought the price was high until they looked at Rosenberg’s records. After over half a century of good public relations, not to mention good food, Rosey’s had proven to be a financially stable enterprise, and just the right weekend business for a young man with the energy and enthusiasm to make it work. Family Help Stand doesn’t work the wagon alone; it would be almost impossible. So far, his mother has shared the work, slapping mustrad, catsup and onions on hamburgers and hot dogs as fast as Stan can turn them out. “We’re really busy from 11 to 2,” said Mrs. Miller. The [Continued on Page 2] Nativity Fund 1976 A committee has been formed to facilitate the project to finance a nativity scene for Lititz Square in 1976. Committee members are the Rev. W. Clemens Rosenberger, 19 Becker Dr., Mrs. Robert Derek, 242 S. Broad St., and Mrs. Dennis Craig, 28 S. Broad St. The project was initially suggested to boro council by Mrs. Craig who was given the O.K. by council to choose a committee to work with her on the idea. Mrs. Craig recently reported that the fund is now open for residents’ contributions and an account has been set up at the Farmers First Bank.
