Daffin Flying Service Certified
To Operate In Canada
Daffin Flying Service
which operates multi-engine
Aerostar planes from the
Lancaster Airport for
passenger and freight
charter flights has been
certified by the Canadian
Department of Transport to
operate in Canada.
This certification will
expand the Daffin direct
service to more than 10,000
local and commercial air­ports
in the U.S.A. to include
all of those in Canada for
flights originating in both
countries.
In addition to carrying
passengers and/or freight on
chartered flights, Daffin
Flying Service offers a
flying ambulance service to
tra n sp o rt p a tien ts to
hospitals almost anywhere
in both countries or to bring
them home from hospitals
away from home.
The Daffin planes can
carry five passengers
comfortably and can fly
directly to more than 10,000
airports without the hassle of
big airports and without
transfers or waiting for
baggage. Flights can be
scheduled at the con­venience
of the passengers.
In this kind of charter ser­vice,
five can fly for the
same cost as one on a flight.
This makes the charter
service attractive for groups
flying on business or
pleasure.
The fact that the Daffin
planes can fly into thousands
of airports not served by
scheduled commercial
airlines as well as those that
are, has been proved to savp
much time and money by
taking passengers directly to
the town they want to reach
without any need to rent an
automobile to get there. It
also saves time because the
plane can be waiting to take­off
when the passengers are
ready to return to home
base.
WTCCESS Files Suit
Against Sewer Installation
By Pat Hen-
Following months of
meetings, questions and
answers, the Warwick
Township Citizens Com­mittee
for an Equitable
Sewer System (WTCCESS)
filed suit in Lancaster
County Court last week
ag a in st the Warwick
Township M u n ic ip a l
Authority (WTMA), Garden
Spot Construction Inc., and
Lisbon Contractors Inc. over
the installation of a sanitary
sewer system that is 95
percent complete. Plans for
the sewer system have been
underway since the early
1970’s.
The plaintiff (WTCCESS),
in the nine-page lawsuit
alleges that the defendants
have “ committed numerous
and diverse illegal actions
for which the plaintiff
Petitioner has no adequate
remedy at law.
“ The illegal actions
complained of, if permitted
to continue, will further
injure plaintiff citizens, for
which injury there is no
adequate remedy at law.”
WTCCESS. was organized
in August, 1980, well after
construction for the sanitary
sewer system had begun,
and claims a membership of
900 citizens of Warwick
Township, or 14 percent of
the electorate.
Robert Sharkey, George
Yelagotes and Carl W.
Myers say in the lawsuit
“that we are all co-chairman
of the Warwick Township
Citizens Committee for an
Equitable Sewer System,
known as WTCCESS, and
that as such co-chairmen we
are authorized to act for said
committee which consists of
more than 900 citizens of
Warwick Township.” (These
are the residents that signed
the petitions that were
passed door to door). WTC­CESS
is represented by O.
Howard Mummau, a
Manheim attorney.
There have been no new
developments in the suit
since it was filed in Lan­caster
County Court last
week.
Some of the complaints
alleged against WTMA by
WTCCESS are that :
• At the time of action by
the Authority in acting upon
contracts and authorizing
their letting, none of the
members of the WTMA had
ever taken an oath of office.
• Contracts are lacking
the mandated provisions

$135,000 Sale Completed In Oct
Beford Shoe Co. Sold
To D'lmperio Fashions
Although the sale was finalized last October, Strouse,
Greenberg and Company’s Industrial Division an­nounced
only this week that the Beford Shoe Company
complex, which is a division of Brierwood Shoe Co., a
78,000 sq. ft. facility on N. Broad St. in Lititz was sold
for $135,000 to D’lmperio Fashions of 40 N. Water St.
The Industrial Division of Strouse, Greenberg and
Co., negotiated the sale for Brierwood Shoe Company,
the second recent sale of the firm’s excess real estate.
The first sale was for $2,200,000 to Adidas of West
Germany, manufacturers of athletic shoes.
The Industrial Division of Strouse, Greenberg and
Co., directed by Sidney E. Gable, is a charter firm
affiliate member of the Society of Industrial Realtors
(SIR) and a nationally recognized authority on in­dustrial
properties.
According to Basil D’lmperio, president of D’lm­perio
Fashions, manufacturers of women’s blouses,
the building already houses a women’s wear sewing
factory. He also noted there is 60,000 sq. ft. available
for industrial uses or warehousing and will be
available to other tenants.
D’lmperio also said the building on North Broad
Street is available for commercial usage and is open
for tenants.
D’lmperio Fashions will move its operations from
the North Water Street address to the new complex.

by Alexander E. Ravenelle,
Smith Road, Mossup, Conn,
knocked down a stop sign
and post at West Orange
Street and Maple Lane on
Feb. 4 at 10:30 a.m. Ac­cording
to police, it is
possible that Ravenelle did
not know the sign had been
struck.
Two persons observed the

description of the truck. The
description was broadcast
and the truck was picked up
in- East Hempfield Town­ship,

requiring the use of United
States steel.
• The bonds issued for the
construction of the system
were issued to pay a rate of
interest in excess of that
which was permitted at the
time of their issuance under
the Municipality Authorities
Act.
• The Authority has
ad o p te d r e s o lu tio n s
assessing fees for the costs
of construction and the
service of the system that
a re v io lativ e of the
Municipality Authorities Act
and which are unfair and
unreasonable.
• The sy s tem was
designed in a manner which
increased the initial cost of
the entire project by in­cluding
unimproved areas of
the township and not in­cluding
some developed
areas.
Additionally, there were
several charges against
Lisbon. They included:
• Failure to wait an
adequate time before
repaving road surfaces over
open sewer lines.
• Failure to control
s u b c o n tr a c to r s from
removing or damaging trees
and shrubbery on residential
property.
• F a ilu r e to give,
residents notice of planned
blasting operations.
• Failure to take proper
precautions in the placing of
blasting materials.
Other charges point out
that eight of the 15 pumping
stations are located poorly.
WTCCESS believes there are
many pumping stations that
are not necessary.
The suit argues that in­stalling
sewers in areas
currently undeveloped was
done to provide for further
