Ruptured water laterals wait for no man, nor do
they break only when the weather is good, a fact
attested to by the above photo, taken Monday
during blowing snows and freezing temperatures.
But the faithful Boro crews were on hand to dig up
the lateral, which runs from Bella's Bakery, in an
attempt to check the water gushing out of the
break under North Cedar Street, in front of the
Cellu Products building.
Crews Out in ‘Arctic’ Temperatures
Lititz and surrounding
areas were fortunate in that
the harsh winter weather of
the past few days did not
precipitate any serious
maintenance problems.
In the borough, Monday
morning found a work crew
out on North Cedar Street
repairing a broken water
lateral into Bella’s bakery.
There was no speculation as
to whether or not the
weather had anything to do
with the rupture of the
lateral, but the extremely
cold weather did not prevent
borough crews from getting
out and getting it repaired by
early afternoon.
In Warwick Township,
some flooding was reported
along Cocalico Road from
th e C o c a lico C re ek ,
following the weekend rains
but it was not high enough to
make roads impassable,
reported Roy Irvin, Warwick
Township road foreman.
Irvin said a tree blew down
late Sunday night, taking
with it a D&E cable and a
PP&L line along Picnic
Woods Road in Rothsville.
Although the power to
about half a dozen houses
was out from about 11 p.m.
to 1 a.m., most residents
were “Probably not even
aware of it,” said Irvin,
because it happened so late.
Lititz Police News
Unknown Pedestrian Struck by Automobile
provided for customers, with
a recommendation that
customers park beside the
building and not infringe on
resident parking; pick up
and delivery may take place
from Rodney Lane, but there
is to be no parking there; no
outside storage will be
permitted; and only two
signs of two-square feet each
may be erected.
Geiger told the Board that
he planned to renovate the
building, specifically by
putting in new windows and
shutters, painting the ex­terior
in a colonial motif, and
reinforcing the wall foun­dation.

The six-member guidance
staff of the Warwick school
district and the district’s
sch o o l p s y c h o lo g is t
presented a brief guidance
seminar to members of the
School Board on Tuesday,
Jan. 3.
The presentation, made to
clarify district policies on
guidance procedures and
goals in the various grade
levels, included several
requests by counselors for
more personnel and added
programs.
Mrs. Lila B. Rohrer, High
School vo-tech counselor,
explained the standards
used for choosing the
students eligible for the vo-tech
program.
She told the Board that
selection standards differed
for different programs. As
an example, she noted that a
student’s manual dexterity
rating would be much more
important, scoring 15 points
maximum, for the auto
mechanic program that it
would be for a food trades
program, while neatness and
personal hygiene would
count more heavily in food
trades than it would for a
program such as masonry or
even carpentry.
She told the Board that
when students in the ninth
grade are given the op­portunity
to afply for vo-tech
programs, they are
rated on the various point
scales geared to each
program and then chosen on
the basis of points, personal
interviews test scorings and
s om e tim e s , te a c h e r
recommendations.
She said that there are
about 60 vo-tech slots now
open and approximately 100
ap p lic an ts for those
programs. The total number
of Warwick district students
Pa.’s Business Climate
Needs Reform, Says Rep
In a talk before the Lititz
R otary Club Tuesday
evening, Nicholas B.
M o eh lm an n , s ta te
representative from the
102nd legislative district
(northern Lancaster and
Lebanon), blamed “a sorry
lack of leadership at the top”
and unsound economic
policies for Pennsylvania’s
loss of commerce and in­dustry
in the past two
decades.
“We did not receive the
federal encouragement or
the private risk capital
needed in recent years to
develop an adequate share of
the ventures bom of new
technology and consumer
markets,” he declared.
“Negative governmental
attitudes” toward private
business has badly damaged
Pennsylvania’s ability to
draw new business and in­dustry,
he charged.
These attitudes, realized
in the form of higher taxes,
wages and energy costs,
have virtually pushed
business and industry out of
o u r s ta te in to th e
southeastern states’ laps,
continued the represen­tative.
He noted the “Sun­belt”
states, with federally
supported economics, “have
become self-sustaining,
a ttra c tin g ad d itio n al
commerce, industry and
population without much
effort, with their lower tax
burdens, lower costs of
living and lower labor costs.
Stressing his basic op­timism
in spite of the many
negatives he said is evident
in Pennsylvania’s business
Rep. Nick Moehlmann
climate, Moehlmann em­phasized
that our state is
fortunate in its strategic
location along the main
commercial-industrial by­ways
of the East, its caches
of essential raw materials
and its productive labor
force.
He affirmed that only by
pouring substantial in­vestment
capital into
Pennsylvania can the
business-industrial com­munity
hope to expand the
state’s industrial base.
Blaming the state’s high
corporate tax burden for
being instrumental in
keeping much-needed
capital out of Pennsylvania,
he remarked, “ It’s in­credible
to me that cor­porate
income tax has been
raised.”
Moehlmann pointed the
finger of blame at Penn-sylvania’s
unemployment
compensation which, he
said, is in dire need of
reform.
He reported, the state
u n em p lo ym en t com ­pensation
fund was running
way in the black in the late
60’s.Now Pennsylvania is in
debt to the federal govern­ment
for more than a billion
dollars, he said, marking us
“second to no other state (in
u n em p lo ym en t com ­pensation
debt levels).
The answer to the
dilemma, Moehlmann
contended, is not in seeking
more taxes to fill the empty
u n em p lo ym en t com ­pensation
coffers, but in
utilizing the funds according
to their original purpose: as
tem p o r a ry m in im a l
financial aid, not as a sub­stitute
for an earned wage.
In c o n c lu s io n , th e
re p re s e n ta tiv e sta ted ,
“Pennsylvania is virtually
alone in its request for a
raise in taxes this year” ,
adding that most other
states have held the line
budget wise. He said he
considers the request for
higher taxes unnecessary.
Within the existing budget,
he declared, $400 million
more in state revenues
would have been realized
through the 9 percent in­c
r e a s e in a v a ila b le
revenues.
Four hundred million
dollars would have been a
sufficient raise in revenue
for the state without the $500
million requested on top of
that, he concluded.
in vo-tech programs is 144,
she said.
Records
Mrs. Carole S. Hearon,
High School guidance
counselor, led the Board
members to the high school
guidance office to show them
where the permanent
records of all Warwick
students are filed. She said
that the records, for all
present, past and future
students, eventually end up
on the microfilm file and are
locked in a safe. These
records are to be saved for
100 years, she noted,
reminding the Board that
not only teachers, but
parents and the students
themselves have the right to
view their own records.
Only the year-end marks,
class rank, S.A.T. scores,
and school activities are
listed on the records, which
in transcript form, are sent
to any college requesting
s tu d e n t in fo rm a tio n ,
providing a release has been
signed by the student’s
parents or the student, if he
or she is 18 years old or over,
Mrs. Hearon explained.
Stephen J. Palkovic, High
School quidance counselor,
showed Board members
around the Career Research
Center. He explained that
the various machines in the
center are available to the
students on a non-restricted
basis. They come in during
their study halls and look
over the occupation files, use
the microfilm machine and
do general research into
career possibilities, he
explained. He said that both
ninth and tenth grade
English classes include a
unit geared to career study
while students in Problems
of Democracy classes are
given the opportunity to earn
extra credit by writing
career papers.
All in all, the Career
Guidance Center is a heavily
utilized area, said Palkovic,
serving 8 to 10 students at a
time.
Information System
Edward Golden, an In­te
rm e d ia te U n it 13
representative, demon­strated
a new guidance tool
which is to go into effect in
the High School guidance
center within the next two
weeks, he estimated.
Labeled the Guidance
Information System, the
data center consists of a
terminal, located in the
High School, and a special
telephone line linked to a
computer system located
near Philadelphia.
When installed, the ter­minal
at Warwick will share
a line with the Solanco school
district, necessitating an
alternate use schedule: the
two schools will alternate
morning and afternoon use
of the system during school
hours; at all other times, the
system will be “up for
grabs,” said Golden, who
noted that the response time
for the 65 schools in five
Intermediate Units across
the state, using the system,
have been “excellent.”
This year’s sytem will be
funded through CETA
(Comprehensive Em­ployment
Training Act), but
money must come from
within the district next year
for the system if it is
retained. Golden told the
Board that the cost for the
entire system per year has
been set at $3100. He said
cost is predicated on the
number of users: the higher
the number, the lower the
cost to each school.
When the Guidance In­formation
System is in­stalled,
a student will be able
to punch basic information
into the terminal and receive
answers to his questions
about a specific college, an
