- m* THE HESS SE RH\C THE WARWICK AREA FOR MORE THAIS’ A CENTURY 105th Year ESTABLISHED APRIL 1877 AS THE SUNBEAM CONSOLIDATED WITH THE LITITZ RECORD 1937 Lititz, Lancaster County, PA. 17543, Thursday, April 2,1981 20 CENTS A COPY. $6 00 PER YEAR BY MAIL WITHIN LANCASTER COUNTY 28 Pages-No. 1 I A rtist's drawing of the completed structure shows the blending of the old and new so that the two are inseparable. "Our Growing Landmark" Lititz Mutual Holds Open House, Addition Completed by Mildred Spear Lititz Mutual Insurance Company, "Our Growing Landmark", is a business that can be seen to be built as solidly as rock. Bulwark of the Lititz downtown scene, the newly completed addition, comprising 15,000 square feet in three stories encased in a perfectly matched stone facade, will be "on show" at an invitational open house, April 10. Henry Gibbel, executive vice president, said there had been over 400 responses to the invitations from as far away as Georgia and Missouri. The addition itself was carefully true to the original buildmg which was erected in the 1940s and which contains a wealth of detail and craftsmanship. The stone walls of the original building are easily two feet thick, and that as well as the deep window sills have been faithfully reproduced in the new section. The massive stone walls of the 1940s structure, have been used as exposed stone interior walls in the new board room and in several other offices. Stairways are built on inside walls to allow as much natural light as possible into the various departments. The overall feeling of the Lititz Mutual intefior, is one of spacious, comfortable working areas that offer privacy without enclosing. The entire atmosphere shows the considerations and foresight in the planning, which took about two years before actual labor on the addition started. The interior is an energy efficient, business efficient, climate controlled layout with the latest capabilities. The Company Lititz Mutual is the company behind the insurance policies that protect a lm o s t one h u n d re d thousand people from loss to their homes, farms, business and institutional properties. As one of the 100 largest mutual insurance companies in the nation, the company services extend to property owners and agents in eleven states and the District of Columbia. , The home office, the landmark on Lititz Square, is the hub and communications center of the Company with financial and operational procedures carried out and maintained for thousands of policies, on the spot. It is the service center for more than 500 professional agents, as well as the support personnel those agents need. The company has grown since its inception in 1888, to a multi-million dollar business insuring property in towns from Pennsylvania to Florida and westward to Missouri and Kansas. The growth chart for a forty year span shows a leap from $582,000 in 1941 to $16,578,000 in 1981 m Policyholders Security Accounts. Officers of the company include, Jacob H. Ruhl, president; Henry Gibbel, executive vice president and secretary; John R. Gibbel, vice president; and Stanley E. Honig, treasurer. Company directors include Clyde W. Horst, New Holland; Jack S. Watson, Lititz; W. Hensel Brown, Lancaster; Paul G. Hess, Lititz; Ruhl, Henry Gibbel and John Gibbel. Independent agents provide the services of Lititz Mutual in other locations. History A "pen and ink ledger by a few men with a desire to protect their neighbors from financial loss from fire”, the September 1888 charter was the culmination of five months of organizing. On May 1, 1888, 25 Lancaster County citizens met at Lititz to form a new Mututai Fire Insurance Company, with secured prospective subscriptions for insurance m the amount of $510,000 to back it. The official title of the company was "The Agricultural Natural Fire Insurance Company of Lancaster County. Many of the By-Laws of the company have never been changed, and are as applicable today as they were ninety three years ago. The primary purpose of the organization was the mutual protection from financial loss by fire of farm property in Lancaster County. Farm underwriting is still a major portion of the Lititz Mutual business. The Addition Construction of an addition to more than double the size of it’s headquarters was approved by Lititz Mutual Insurance Company Board of Directors in July of 1978 and following that decision the David Lynch & Associates firm of Lancaster, was retained as architect for the project. Much time and thought was put into exploring of schematic and design work for the 15,000 square foot addition which m design and construction would match the architecture of the existing h e ad q u a rte rs building built in 1940. The original building contains 12,700 square feel.

(Real estate transfer taxes received for the same period amounted to $12,600.) No Decision Handed Down Judge Bucher Hears WTCCESS Civil Suit Months of discontent by the Warwick Township Citizens Committee for an Equitable Sewer System l WTCCESS) came to a head last Thursday morning when the 900-member citizens group tried in Lancaster County Court to get Judge Wilson Bucher to grant them a preliminary injunction against the sewer project. The group was also seeking a continuance to postpone the hearing. Robert G. Sharkey, 326 Owl Hill Road, Lititz, Carl W. Myers, 128 Mayfield Drive, Lititz, and George Downey, 620 Owl Hill Road, Lititz, co-chairmen of WTCCESS, acted as trustees ad litem for the citizens group with Sharkey being the spokesman for the group. Sharkey told Judge Bucher that WTCCESS was not represented by legal counsel, having had to dismiss their attorney, O. Howard Mummau, because of a lack of funds. Sharkey said their costs had tripled and blamed it on the maneuvering of legal briefs by the attorneys for the Warwick Township M u n ic ip a l A u th o n ty (WTMA), William Crosswell and Jan P. Paden. Crosswell denied the allegation and told Judge Bucher the lawsuit was "brought" in bad faith, was facetious and is harassment." Crosswell also contended that as tar as briefs that were filed, they were in no way intended to • • break "the citizens group. Judge Bucher told Sharkey, "You c a n 't practice law without a license. Bucher did however allow Sharkey to take the stand and present evidence but told him he would be unable to question or cross-examine any witnesses. Bucher refused to grant WTCCESS a preliminary injunction and did not give the group a continuance to postpone the hearing. He did give the citizens group 10 extra days to file briefs. Bucher noted that one of the awkward problems concerning the suit is that WTCCESS is not incorporated. "You gentlemen are not attorneys and 1 cannot allow you to act as lawyers, ’' Bucher said. Sharkey told Bucher that a le g a l a id g roup in Philadelphia was interested in representing the group. After Sharkey took the witness stand he began reading from the nine-page civil suit that the citizens group brought against the WTMA, Garden Spot Construction Co. of Lancaster and Lisbon Contractors Inc. of Danboro, PA. George D. Alspach, of Alspach and Ryder, 232 N. Duke St., Lancaster, is the attorney tor Lisbon Contractors, and David 1. Davis, of Harmon and Associates, 33 N. Duke St., Lancaster, is the attorney tor Garden Spot Construction Co. 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 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 are violative of the Municipality Authorities Act and which are unfair and unreasonable. • The sy s tem was designed m a manner which increased the initial cost of the entire project by including unimproved areas ot 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 ot planned blasting operations. • Failure to take proper precautions in the placing ot blasting materials.

L ititz R ecord Exp re s s C elebrates 10 5 th Y e a r The Record Express is beginning its 105th year of publication this week. The p a p e r was founded by as the Sunbeam by John G. Zook, and originally was, a monthly publication, nine by 12 inches in size. Zook continued as editor for many years with offices at 22 E. Main St., location of the present Record Express. Its name was changed to the Lititz Express m 1881. Meanwhile, the Lititz Record had been founded elsewhere by Frank Buch in 1877 and merged with the Express in 1937,- becoming the Record Express. A new format was adopted at that tune, with the paper appearing in one section, instead of two and sometimes three sections as before. In the Dec. 2, 1971 issue, a new masthead was in tro d u c e d , designed by Mrs. George R. Garrett for a contest conducted by the papers. With the Jan. 10 issue, 1974, the paper took on still another new look with new, easier to read type. In October of 1977, the paper marked its 100th a n n iv e r s a ry by publishing a special historical issue. Ralph Buch succeeded his father as owner of the Record, eventually selling out to Edward Fulweiler and James R. Johnson. They in turn sold the merged paper to William Young, who was publisher and editor for nearly 25 years. In January 1962 the paper was acquired by Robert G. Campbell, the present owner and publisher. Under his supervision, the paper converted from letter press to the offset printing process with the Sept. 23,1971 issue. A n n u a l A m b u c S h o w S a tu r d a y ' S u g a r ! ’ ' S u g a r ! ’ ’ S u g a r ! ’ By June Smith Why not treat your "Sugar” to a sweet night out. Just a few more days to decide — and won’t you be sorry you missed it when you hear how good the 22nd Annual Lititz Ambuc musical was? You save Saturday nights for your bath? Come Friday - or skip the bath just this once. An extra splash of cologne will do. Sit in the comfort of the Warwick High School and auditorium this Friday or Saturday. The show starts at 8 p.m., but those of you who have come to our productions know we fill up early. This tickets are still $3 for the general section and $4 for the reserved area. Sorry, no discounts, even though you have seen all of our shows, (maybe we could find a few Purple Hearts —) The show is probably new to many of you. Remember “Once Upon A Mattress” three years ago? No one knew that one either, but it was one of the funniest we’ve ever done. We feel “Sugar” is just as funny and is sure to draw a few guffaws from even the most serious person in the audience. Picture Chicago in the early thirties - the curtain opens on Sugar Kane (Carla Ritter) and the girls singing "When You Meet A Girl In Chicago”. These girls are members of Sweet Sue (Turn to Page 2) Dressed as Josephine, Dennis Ritter, left, and Daphne, played by Jim Nagle, seem to be enjoying themselves too much!

No one knew that one either, but it was one of the funniest we’ve ever done. We feel “Sugar” is just as funny and is sure to draw a few guffaws from even the most serious person in the audience. Picture Chicago in the early thirties - the curtain opens on Sugar Kane (Carla Ritter) and the girls singing "When You Meet A Girl In Chicago”. These girls are members of Sweet Sue (Turn to Page 2) Dressed as Josephine, Dennis Ritter, left, and Daphne, played by Jim Nagle, seem to be enjoying themselves too much! |
