An unusually heavy tur­nout
of voters on a rainy
election day turned the tide
in favor of a Republican
Party victory and local
voters cast their ballots with
Lancaster County showing a
67 percent preference for
Reagan for president.
Residents of Lititz
Borough turned out in large
numbers with a total of 448
voters casting their ballots
before 9 a.m.
Approximately 10 percent
of 2,751 r e g is te r e d
Republican voted between 8
and 9 a.m. while the turnout
for the 875 registered
Democrats was close at
about nine percent during
the same hour.
Republicans carried the
county in every race for
statewide office.
The Reagan-Bush ticket
overwhelmed the Carter-
Mondale leadership by 49,295
votes. The President and
vice president received only
25 percent of the county vote
with Independent John
Anderson winning 6.2 per­cent.
Voting was so heavy that
in five voting districts
election officials were forced
to rush to print more ballots.
In Lititz Borough, the first
ward, first precinct which
voted at New Lititz Fire
Hall, accumulated 299 votes
for Reagan and 100 for

second precinct, voting at

Building. Ward two totalled
576 for Reagan and 204 for
Carter, voting at the Fire
Hall.

was decidedly the choice,
defeating Carter by large
margins.

504 votes for Reagan at the
Brickerville Fire Co., and
146 for Carter.

Merkey’s Garage, tallied 226
votes for Reagan and only 80

Reagan 774 to Carter’s 250 in
Kissel Hill at the elementary
school; and Reagan 675 to
Carter’s 189 in Rothsville at
the Rothsville Fire Hall.
The Republicans haven’t
had sUch a countywide
landslide victory since the
19^2 election when a record
number of votes elected
Nixon over McGovern. ’
Independent Candidate
John B. Anderson made a
poor showing in the area
with Lititz Borough giving
him a total of 186 votes and
Manheim giving him 101. In
the Townships, Anderson
gleaned 86 in Penn, 183 in
Warwick and 47 in Elizabeth.
Countywide, Anderson
accumulated only 6.2 per­cent
of the 118,397 votes for
president.
Other Races
Arlen Specter, Republican
candidate for the United
States Senate, was an
overwhelming victor over
Pete Flaherty’s Democratic
bid. Specter tallied 2187
votes in Lititz Borough to 785
for Flaherty and 1329 in
Manheim Borough to the
Democrat’s 448. In the three
townships, Specter ac­cumulated
3929 votes to
Flaherty’s 1228.
Republican incumbent
Robert S. Walker rolled up a
record vote total to defeat
his Democratic opponent
James A. Woodcock in the
race for the U.S. House of
Representatives, and was
elected to a third term.

lawmaker totalled 591 votes
in Elizabeth Township, 1358
in Penn Township and 2351 in
Warwick. In the Boroughs,
he got 1440 in Manheim and
2387 in Lititz.
Republican candidates for
Attorney General, Auditor
General and State Treasurer
rode the Reagan landslide to
victory for the state offices
in county voting.

votes in the Penn, Elizabeth
and Warwick townships, 2178
in Lititz, and 1317 in
Manheim.
Knepper rolled up 3578 in
the three townships and 3345
in Liittz and Manheim
together.
Dwyer tallied 3410 in
Manheim and Lititz and 3501
in Penn, Elizabeth and
Warwick Townships. ,
State Representative
Nicholas B. Moehlmann was
unopposed in this election
and won re-election to the
state House automatically
when the first vote was cast
in his district.
Reagan’s victory margin
rivaled history’s great
landslides which swept in
Nixon in 72, Johnson in ‘64
and Roosevelt in ‘36.
Reagan’s win was so one
sided that according to
reports, some west coast
voters were angry to hear
Carter conceding the race
before they had even cast
their ballots.
It was never even close to
a close race.

'Mysterious Mayalands’ To Open
18th Annual Travelogue Series
The Lititz Rotary Club will
open its 18th season of the
Travel and Adventure series
with Romain Wilhelmsen’s
“Mysterious Maryaland,”
on Saturday, Nov. 8 at the
Warwick High School
Auditorium. Shows are at 3
and 8 p.m.
A resident of East Lan­sing,
Michigan, Romain
Wilhelmsen attended St.
Joseph’s College for two
years and graduated from
the famous Pasadena
Playhouse. He started his
professional career on the
stage and enjoyed two
successful seasons on
Broadway. However, his
heart was not in acting so he
left the stage for a life of
exploration and adventure.
Wilhemsen decided to go
treasure hunting. When he
had gathered enough history
on an area to speculate
where old treasures might
be he set out to find and film
these interesting shots. His
s u c c e s s h a s been
phenomenal. He has not only
found lost cities, missions
and forts but treasure,
weapons of war and armor
that have not been seen for
centuries. His flair for the
unusual and excellent
photography combined with
a stimulating narrational
style help make Wilhelmsen
one of the country’s most
interesting and successful
travel and adventure artists.
Guatemala and Yucatan
are two of the most
photogenic lands on earth.
Focal points of the great
Mayan civilization which
florished over a period of 800
years from 300 to 1100 A.D.,
these two areas are steeped
in history and natural
beauty.
Primitive villages and
agricultural areas contrast
with such modern cities as
Merida, Guatemala City and
the resorts of Lake Atitlan.
Atitlan is itself considered
one of the world’s most
: beautiful high altitude lakes
and the “Riviera” of
Yucatan.
We will also sidestep the
beaten path and explore the
remains of Mayan culture.
The relics of this remarkable
civilization exist in
magnificant archaeological
areas such as Tikal, Uxmal,
Tulum and Cichen Itza. The
wonders they have revealed
challenge the preeminence
of Greek, Roman and
Byzatine accomplishments.
Besides the rewards of a
lost civilization the traveler
fin d s much . m o re .
Guatemala and Yucatan are
Indian countries. Here are
handicrafts, pagan rites,
magnificant scenery and
folk ways which are un­familiar
and interesting.
Here is the opportunity to
experience a pictorial record
of “yesterday” which, under
the pressure of progress,
may soon become a prosaic
“today” !
,
Romain Wilhelmsen’s “ Mysterious Mayalands” will be presented by the Lititz
Rotary Club on Saturday, Nov. 3 at 3 and 8 p.m. in the Warwick High School
Auditorium.
