T H E B E S S SERVING THE WARWICK AREA FOR NEARLY A CENTURY 100th Year ESTABLISHED APRIL. 1877. AS THE SUNBEAM ¡CONSOLIDATED WITH THE LITITZ RECORD, 1937| Lititz, Lancaster County, PA 17543, Thursday, October 21,1976 15 CENTS A COPT; $5.00 PER YEAR BY MAIL WITHIN LANCASTER COUNTY 24 PAGES—No. 11 Sutter Village Bus Rides Over Says School Board An Ounce of Prevention Ouch ! M I M 1 1 1 Bv Bonnie Szymanski Several parents from Sutter Village were present during Tuesday evening’s school board meeting at the Lititz Elementary school to hear the outcome of their request for additional transportation for non-public students in the neighborhood. In an agreement between Sutter Village parents and the school district going back to 1971, the district has been responsible for picking up non-public school Kindergarteners and first graders in Sutter Village and taking them to the high school for transfer to other buses. This agreement was made at the request of parents before sidewalks were constructed in the neighborhood. Since then, sidewalks have appeared and patroled crosswalks have been in operation. Accordingly, at Tuesday night’s meeting, board members voted 7-1 that since there was no longer a valid reason to continue providing the nonpublic school students with a service not provided to public school students (less than a mile from the school), they would discontinue the bus service completely at the start of the 1977 school year. Obviously, this was not what the Sutter Village parents had had in mind when they raised the matter. Decrying the inefficiency of a school bus system that picks up only one child at a bus stop and refuses to allow older students to board, parents were told that the only reason the bus stopped in the first place was because of the agreement to bus the Kindergarteners and first graders. Parents added the complaint that their children were often forced to ride buses for up to three hours a day because of all the waiting and transferring involved. They were informed that some of the time problems were caused by the reciprocal agreement with Manheim Township wherein some students transfer to buses at the Manheim Township wherein some students transfer to buses at the Manheim Township high school and continue on to their schools from there. Noting that he thought some of the board’s attempts at saving money were “ ridiculous,” one parent wanted to know why they couldn’t schedule another bus to alleviate the riding time situation. Told it was a matter of economics, the parent was advised to bring such matters up when the yearly budget was being devised in March and April. In a separate decision, the board also voted to continue the Sutter Village service for the rest of the school year to students as stipulated by the original agreement, which means that second graders and older students will have to continue walking. And next year, the Kindergarteners and first graders won’t be far behind. In a related matter, the board heard a letter from the Pequea Valley School District, now involved in litagation on a refusal to bus non-public students on the gounds of unconstitutionality asking for the Warwick district’s written support. The board voted to send a letter of “moral support” to Pequea Valley. Leaking Lititz Elementary And the water continues to seep into the Orange Street side of the Lititz Elementary school. Informed that the leaking wall had been sealed twice by the general contractor, the board voted to have a graded area properly designed by architects so that the grading would slope away from the building, allowing the water to run toward the driveway and sidewalk. In a separate vote on the same matter, the board approved advertising for bids on the grading project.

Halloween Queen Candidates Selected for Lions Parade Lynn Eckman, Brenda Gingrich, and Vickie Zer-cher, members of the senior class of Warwick High School, have been selected as Halloween Queen candidates for the Lititz Lions Club Parade, planned for Oct. 26 at 7 p.m. The Halloween Queen will be crowned by Lions Club President John Steffy in front of the Judges stand on East Main Street. The raindate for the parade is Oct. 27. Lynn Eckman is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James W. Eckman, 317 N. Broad St., and she is a member of the School Local New Lass Named 'Miss Hope' By Bonnie Szymanski Almost every girl who vies for the title of “Miss Hope” has a very personal reason for wanting to represent the American Cancer Society in its fight against cancer. Jerlyn Ann MacLaren, 361E. Main St., Lancaster County Miss Hope for 1977, is no exception. She tells her story, not to generate sympathy for the individuals involved, but to establish a very real basis on which to build her campaign of hope and optimism about a disease that has more often been associated with fear and despondency. Jerlyn had been approached by several people at St. Joseph Hospital, where she works as a licensed practical nurse in the Intensive Care Unit, and asked to consider becoming a candidate for Miss Hope. Several days later, she received a phone call from the mother of a 17-year-old boy she had long considered as close as a brother. The woman had called to tell Jerlyn that the little boy she used to babysit had just been told he was dying of leukemia. All the mournful phrases in the dictionary would still be inadequate to describe how Jerlyn felt at that moment. Brenda Gingrich Student Government. Miss Eckman is also active in the Student Council, and is a member of her Church Choir and Youth Group. She plans to attend college next fall, majoring in art. Brenda Gingrich resides with her father, Marlin E. Gingrich, 509 W. Marion St., and she is a member of the Band Rifle Squad. She participates in Student Council activities, and plans to attend business school next fall. Vickie Zercher, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Richard C. Zercher, Jr., 125 E. Lincoln Ave., has participated in the band as a member of the Rifle Squad. She plans to enter college next fall to-study dental hygiene. Prizes More than $250 in prizes will be awarded, including a new category this year which will present prizes to those four years and under as part of the children’s division. Special prize categories have been added to honor the “Baby” members of the parade. The “Baby Division” will have prizes presented to the following: “Most Original Individual” ; “Most Original Couple” ; Most Original Group (3 or more); or “Most Comic” and “Most Artistic”. A $6.00 cash award will be made in each of the above categories. In addition to the new Baby Division, marchers will be judged in children’s, groups, and float categories. Adults will be part of the group division. Organizations entering floats in the parade are requested to register in advance by calling Russell Schreiber at 626-7575. This H P T h H M Lynn Eckman request is being made in order to anticipate the number of floats to be entered in the annual event. All others will register for the line of march on parade night. Those participating should register at the registration table at Main and Cedar Streets. The registrations will begin at 6 p.m. The children’s division, groups’ division, and adults’ divisions will form on Main Street east of Cedar Street. All floats will form on Cedar Street south of Main Street. Lion Club members will be in the formation areas to assist all competitors when the parade forms. Three bands are expected to participate in the parade. Warwick Senior High School’s award winning band will march as will the Middle School marching band and the Lititz Community Band. Parade Route After the parade has formed at Main and Cedar Streets, the procession will march west on Main Street to Broad, south on Broad Street to Lemon Street, east on Lemon to Cedar, north on Cedar to Main Street, and west on Main Street to pass the judges stand for a second time. Judging the 1976 parade will be Deann Showers, Michael Brauner, and Dean Baublitz. William Dussinger, a member of the Lions Club, Dr. John D. Mohler Vickie Zercher will serve as the Master of Cermonies. The Lions Club will be operating a food stand for the parade. The stand will be in Sturgis Lane between the Trudi K Shop and Lippart’s Shop. The stand will be open by 4 p.m. for early parade watchers to get something for supper and remain open following the parade. D e lic io u s h om em ad e pumpkin pie is the stand special.
