Additional Charges
According to Police Chief
George Hicks, additional
charges were filed yesterday
(Wednesday) against David
Michael Brauner, 29, of 336
E. Marion St.
Brauner was charged with
involuntary deviate sexual
intercourse and corrupting
the morals of a minor. The
alleged offense took place in
late September or October,
1979, and involved a minor
boy who was 15 years old at
the time of the offense,
which allegedly took place at
Warwick High School, ac­cording
to police.
These new charges are in
addition to the charges of
voluntary deviate sexual
intercourse and corrupting
the morals of a minor that
were filed against Brauner
last week and involved a
different minor.
Doug Royer
President Carter has
recommended that the
United Stated pull out of the
Summer Olympics if the
Russians do not pull out of
Afghanistan. As alter­natives,
he suggests the
games be delayed or moved
to another site.
To find out how the public
feels about this touchy
situation, the Lititz Record
Express asked for opinions
on these alternatives from a
random selection of men and
women out walking on Main
Street Monday afternoon.
Do you think the United
States should boycott the
Olympic Games this sum­mer?
Or do you favor moving
the games or delaying them?
Three women walking
together up the street agreed
completely with the
President that we should not
send our teams to Russia as
long as the Russians con­tinue
to have troops in
Afghanistan.
“I know the Russians
wouldn’t come here if the
situation were reversed,”
said Ginny Seaman of 413
Eshleman Drive. “Actually,
I think the best solution
would be to move the games
to another site if the
Russians don’t pull out,” she
said.
Jane Graves of 227 New
Haven Drive, and Doris
Marks,' 414 Eshleman Drive,
agreed with this opinion.

The National Central Bank
management announced this

According to Wilson D.

Duo Sentenced To Jail
For Criminal Mischief
Two young men were
sentenced last Thursday by
the Lancaster County Court
to prison terms when they
pleaded guilty to criminal
mischief.
Steven Morris Hess, 20, of
201 No^le St., Lititz, was
sentenced to five to 23
months in Lancaster County
prison, assessed $100 and
directed to make restitution
for starting a fire in a semi­trailer
parked at the loading
dock of Cellii Products, 25 N.
Cedar St., at 2:50 a.m. Sept.
15. Lititz police said damage
totaled $16,000.
For throwing a brick
through a window at 79 E.
Main St., he was placed on
concurrent probation for two
years, assessed $100 and
costs and directed to make
restitution. He is not to drive
a car while on probation.
His companion, Walter
Edward West Jr., 24, of 422
W. Conestoga St., New
Holland, was sentencec] to
six to 23 months in Lancaster
County Prison and assessed
$200 and costs for criminal
mischief.
For violation of the Liquor
Code, he was assessed $100
and costs. For theft, he was
placed on probation for one
year and assessed $190 and
costs and ordered to make
restitution. His sentences
are to be consecutive to each
other and to any sentence he
presently is serving.
Charges of criminal
solicitation and giving a
false police report to law
enforcement officials Were
dropped upon paynent of
costs.
The court was told that
Hess, West and two girls
were riding around in West’s
car on Sept. 15, that they
drank all day and then
started throwing bricks in
Lititz.
West was charged with
throwing bricks at Fry’s
Pontiac, 529 E. Main St.,
doing $600 damage to the
window, $111 to a car, $330 to
a showcase, $500 to a door
jamb and $100 to siding, in
addition to the other brick­throwing
incident.
He also was charged with
providing intoxicants to the
two girls, aged 17 and 16, and
to Hess, to throwing eggs
against a car parked in front
of the residence of Leroy
Emmerich (for which he
was directed to pay costs)
and with taking $10 worth of
gas from Luther Acres on
July 20-21.
The criminal solicitation
to commit criminal mischief
involved his allegedly en­couraging
Hess to set fire to
a trash can. The false report
involved his allegedly im­plicating
Hess , and a girl in
committing acts of criminal
mischief.
Larry Robert Stauffer Jr.,
29, of 209 E. Main St., Lititz,
was placed on probation for
six months and assessed $100
for costs and loitering and
prowling at night. For
harassment, he was placed
on a concurrent three-months
probation and
directed to pay costs.
Lititz police charged him
with loitering around a
residence at 147 N. Cedar St.,
on July 15,16,22 and 23.
withdraw the bank from the
Federal Reserve System and
operate it as a state-chartered
bank. Because of
this move, the bank can no
longer use the word
“national” in its name.
These actions are being
ta k e n , a c c o rd in g to
McElhinny, to use more of
the bank’s resources as
interest-earning reserves
and to insure that the bank
will remain competitive with
other banks in south-central
Pennsylvania.
For a number of years, the
N a tio n a l C e n tra l
management has asked that
Federal Reserve member
and non-member banks be
treated as equals with
respect to the forms in which
they are permitted to
maintain their reserves
against deposits. Although
Congress has considered
various proposals for easing
the burden of Federal
Reserve membership, no
actual changes have been
forthcoming.
As Hamilton Bank,
McElhinny says, they will
continue to be a member of
the Federal Deposit In­surance
Corporation (FDIC)
and all deposits will be in­sured
exactly as they are
now. Customers will be able
to use National Central
checks and other forms.
To find a new name,
National Central conducted
a research study in the six
counties it serves, and
Hamilton Bank was the clear
favorite.

boycott the Olympic Games
in Moscow’ with a resoun­ding,
“Yes. I’m tired of
playing games with the
Russians,” he said.
“But I pity the athletes.
They’re going to be asked to
m ak e a trem e n d o u s
sacrifice. Everybody con­cerned
will be making a,
sacrifice. NBC stands to lose
a lot. I love to watch the
games, so it will be a small
sacrifice for me, too.”
Rick Eichenlaub of Willow
Street R3 was of the opinion
that we should send our
teams to the games in
Russia. “ Politics and
athletics should not mix,” he
declared. “Our athletes have
spent too much time
preparing for the games.
And the Olympics were
designed to be represen­tative
of world brotherhood.
“Yes, I would be in favor
of moving the site, but I don’t
really think that is the
question. The games should
be entirely separate from
anything going on in the
world. The decision to hold
the games in Moscow was
made years ago, and what is
going on now should not
affect it.
“But, a permanent place
to hold the games, such as
Greece. Yes, that would be
fantastic.”
Ron Bussey of Landisville
has been thinking about the
question, but it is a com­plicated
one and he is still
undecided.
Jack Hobman of Lan­caster
has thought about it
and his answer is “no.”
“ I don’t believe the
Olympic games should have
any part in politfcs: The fact
that they are in Russia this
year is an unfortunate
coincidence. Boycott the
Olympics? Does that mean
all those young people who
have been training all these
years wouldn’t get to par­ticipate?”
That is un­thinkable,
he believes.
Dan Shenk, 30 S. Locust
St., is fearful of sending our
athletes to Russia. “I feel
that if we get involved in the
games, the Russians might
take a lot of our athletes
hostage over there,” he said.
Monroe Wonder
“I wouldn’t put it past
them.”
“Move the games? I ’ve
been thinking about that. I
believe they could move the
games, perhaps to Canada. I
think they should postpone
the games until the Russians
move out of Afghanistan, or
keep our athletes home. ’ ’
Lisa Mearig, 27 S. Cedar
St., said, “No, I’m not in
favor of boycotting the
games. There is no reason to
do this. I don’t think there
will be any trouble.”
Doug Royer, 66 Front St.,
was absolutely opposed to
boycotting the Olympics.
“Politics should not be in­volved
in sports. Those
people have been training
for years. And they’ll be in
no danger.”
And Royer is not in favor
of a permanent site. The
pont of training is to compete
with many, nationalities in
many' places around the
world, he said.
“I agree,” commented
Monroe Wonder of Cedar
Street. “I don’t think we can
do more than go and try to
beat them in the games. We
haven’t gotten anywhere
with the Russians since
World War II was over.”
He had a suggestion to
keep things more even: Send
them lots of autos and let
them kill each other off like
we do here.
