Grand Prize Winner in Lititz’ 1979 Halloween Parade was Brickerville Cub Scout Pack 322’s float called
“ Barnyard." Depicting a miniature barn and barnyard, the float was filled with all kinds of animals. That big
bird in the front of the float better hide before Thanksgiving arrives!
Halloween Queen Is Crowned
Crowds Throng Downtown Lititz
To Enjoy Halloween Parade Hundreds of people
jammed the sidewalks of
downtown Lititz Monday
night for the annual Lions
Club Halloween Parade. For
more than two hours, under
clear skies and brisk tem-peratures,
they watched all
kinds of “ creatures”
marching down the street.
Several hundred marchers
had let their imaginations
run wild as evidenced by the
many unusual costumes.
There were funny ones,
scary ones, pretty ones, ugly
ones, artistic ones...you
name it...they were there.
Amid witches, goblins and
ghosts, Karen Lee Zong,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Gary Zong, 12 W. Newport
Road, and a senior at
Warwick High School, was
crowned Halloween Queen
by Russell Schreiber,
president of the Lititz Lions
Club.
The two other contestants
for the crown, Wendy Jo
Teaman, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs, Jack Teaman, 118
Meadow Lane, Rothsville,
and Karen Jean Tennis,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Donald Tennis, 810 Furnace
Hills Pike, made up the
queen’s court as she reigned
from the reviewing stand.
The con te stan ts for
Halloween Queen led the
parade, followed by children
and adults in their unusual
and inventive costumes.
Beautifully decorated floats
followed along with the
Warwick High School and
Middle School Marching
Bands and the Lititz Com­munity
Band.
In addition .^ the hundreds
of spectators cheering, on the
marchers, the mood of the
parade was sparked by the
lively comments from the
master of ceremonies, Bill
Dussinger.

Borough Council Considers New
Revenue Sources for 1980 Budget
Lititz Borough Council at
Tuesday evening’s meeting
discussed ways of making up
a deficit balance in the
proposed 1980 budget.
Projected expenditures
are $633,009, with income of
$555,990 plus a beginning
balance of $4,271 for total
available income of $560,261.
This leaves a deficit of
$72,748.
Council discussed the
possibility of charging a fee
for trash collection of $24 per
dwelling unit. This charge,
considered to be extremely
reasonable for the service
provided, is based upon the
present trash collection
contract, and could be ex­pected
to bring in about
$60,000 to the borough.
Other possibilities include
a $10 occupation tax that
would bring in about $30,000
in revenue; or increasing the
property tax millage to
make up the difference.
Further discussion and
budget work will take place
at the next council com­mittee
meeting on Nov. 20.
In other business, Council
officially approved the
reorganization of borough
management. Council voted
to vacate the positions of
borough manager and
assistant manager, and to
establish the positions of
director of public services
and borough office manager
and assistant borough office
manager.
David Anderson, formerly
borough manager, will be
director of public services,
responsible to Borough
Council and to be chief
operator of the Lititz sewer
plant and water plant, in
charge of all public works,
personnel, all reservoirs and
public buildings and lands.
Karen Konkle, Webster
Hill Road, will be borough
office manager and Curtis
Amidon, formerly assistant
borough manager, will be
assistant office manager.
Council also opened seven
bids on a new water plant
generator. Bids ranged from
low bid of $24,900, submitted
by G a rd en Spot
Electric Inc., to high of
$29,780. Council will study
the details of the proposals
and award the contract at
the next meeting on Nov. 27.
A petition was received
from residents of the first
and second blocks of Front
Street requesting one-way
traffic eastward on Front
Street with parking on both
sides. Residents deem the
intersection hazardous at
Front and Broad streets and
heavy two-way traffic
creates a water problem for
Front Street properties.
Council’s traffic committee
will study the petition,
signed by about 30 residents
and then rule on the petition.
Denver and Ephrata
Telephone Company will cut
over to its new electronic
equipment in the new
building at 17-19 S. Cedar
Street on Nov. 4. The most
notable change will be the
advent of the emergency 911
number to enable citizens to
contact police, fire and
ambulance services in cases
of real emergency.
Also available will be:
to u ch -to n e p h on e s,
automatic call forwarding,
call waiting signal and three-party
conference calling.
These services will be
available at additional cost.
Expansion includes
equipment for growth from
7000 to 9000 subscribers,
allowing for at least 20 years
growth.
Christmas lighting will be
turned on Nov. 23, the day
after Thanksgiving, and
continue through Jan. 1.
Borough office will be
closed for the Thanksgiving
holiday on Thursday, Nov.
22, and Friday, Nov. 23.
It was announced that the
Lititz Woman’s Club has
again refurbished the street
signs at the north and south
ends of Lititz and Broad

'Annie Get Your Gun’ Plays
This Weekend At WHS
Several Lititz residents
have lent their time and
talents to the Warwick High
School production “Annie
Get Your Gun” which will be
playing Friday and Saturday
(Nov. 2 and 3) at 8 p.m. in the
Warwick High School
auditorium.
Black-belt karate expert
and instructor, Dennis Cho,
436 Fort Ross Avenue, Lititz,
has designed several savage
Indian attacks upon un­suspecting
white settlers.
As Charlie Davenport,
manager of the Buffalo Bill
Wild West Show, tells an
excited audience about the
perils of attacking Apaches,
suddenly an Indian war
whoop is heard and twenty-four
war-painted Indians
pounce upon the white
settlers and “scalp” six
pioneer girls.
Playing the Indians are
Doug Auker, Mahlon
Bomberger, Daryl Bowman,
Toni Diehm, Dave Forry,
Skip Garner, Craig Groff,
Lowell Hoover, Mark
Kauffman, Grant Kent,
