Vol. LX Lititz, Lancaster County, Pa., Thursday, August 5, 1937 No. 48 Three Events Are Booked For Park Concerts by Local Msicians; Marimba and Arranged; Sponsor List and Allentown Bands Planned for Latter Affair There is one birthday anni-versary that holds so little of the magnificence of age that, it seems to me, it could be well forgotten. Nineteen. What does nineteen hold for youth, for manhood and life? Yet it has its glory, for the pos-sessor of that age can boast a last beautiful thought: I am still in my 'teens', and as long as that is true, what is there to lose It is the calm before the storm, that last age of foolishness and experimentation before attaining untried maturity. Nineteen, twenty, twenty-one . . . . Tomorrow and Saturday: at the Lititz Theatre. A picture long awaited, multi-reviewed and well received by the movie-conscious world. . . . "Captains Courageous starring Spencer Tracy and Fred-die Bartholomew. Kipling's story of a Portuguese fisherman who teaches a rich man's 'pampered darling' son that there are other values beside that of the almighty dollar. This epic film of cod-fishing days off Gloucester coast is graced also by the performances of Lionel Barrymore, Miokey Rooney, and Melvyn Douglas. It's a stirring and noble film, worthy of youf attendance. Three fine musical attractions have been arranged for the Lititz Springs Park. The first is a con-cert by a large group of local musi-cians, massed as a large band, probably on August 26. The sec-ond is a musical evening with Reg Kehoe and his girl Marimba Band on September 4. And the third and perhaps the best is a concert by the famous Allentown Band on The citizens of Lititz will have an opportunity of showing their appreciation to the Chamber of Commerce for the erection of a band shell in the Park by becom-ing sponsors for the afternoon and Prof. Gaige Speaks At Annual Session Of Farm Women Prof. Frederick H. Gaige, of Mil-lersville State Teachers' college, deplored the wide divergence be-tween the numbr of children in the professional and industrial groups, in an address before the Lancaster County Farm Women's Societies, at Neffsville on Saturday. Pointing out that only half the graduates of women's college mar-ry and that even these average only four-fifths of a child each, the speaker said it compared most un-favorably with surveys made in other branches. An industrial sur-vey showed that 96 per cent of the women in factories marry and av-erage more than five csildren each. "Surveys in Lancaster County," Prof. Gaige said, "show that this is as true here as elsewhere. The owner of a local tcbacco firm made a census of his employes and con-firmed the tendency. "We breed speed in horses, but-terfat in cows, and eggs and size in poultry. We develop better Community Show Planned For October 21 to 23; First Meeting Is Held Clean Show Again Promised by Association as Work Gets Underway; Committees Named; Treasurer Reports Balance from Last Year Wash House Damaged By Fire at Pine Hill The dates of October 21, 22 and 23 were set for this year's Com-munity Show at the first meeting of the Association held Monday evening in the Fire House. The Show this year will be on the same large scale as last year with the midway occupying the same streets. Letters commending the Associa-tion were read at the meeting on the clean show of last year, and the group again pledged to keep out all gambling or girls shows. Only two crept in last year and they were promptly subdued by police inspection. The most undesirable thing oc-curring at last year's show, the grapefruit and oranges.

Babe was knocked out by the machine, but under the treatment of A. A. Zecher, whom she fol-lows about town, she was able to get to her feet. "Dr" Zecher re-ports her progress good. tember 18. The town will be canvassed in the near future according to Carl Workman, chairman of the plan-ning committee, having the affair in charge, and if the response is good a display of fireworks will be added as a closing feature. Details of the concert by local musicians and of the marimba concert will, be announced later. R. M. Spacht was named Chairman of a Committee to arrange for the former affair. The Allentown Band, which be-cause of rain could not give the scheduled program at the Inde-pendence Day celebration in the Lititz Springs Park on July 5, has been engaged to give an afternoon and evening concert on Saturday, September 18 when the new band shell will be formally dedicated. Albertus L. Meyers, conductor, states that he will bring his well known soloists to Lititz in addition to a full band. The program for the entertain-ment of the public on this import-ant day in the history of the park was left to the planning committee, Carl B. Workman, chairman, Paris F. Snyder and Paul H. Bomberger and the music committee, Louis Huebener, chairman, Howard S. Young and Victor Wagner. Details • will be anounced later. The planning committee was authorized to secure Reg Kehoe and his Marimba Band for an eve-ning entertainment on Saturday, September 4. Hershey Leaman Company who were awarded the contract to erect a comfort station and the band shell by the Chamber of Commerce announce that the building of the former will be completed in a few days and that they will then start work on the band shell which they expect to complete in four weeks. In line with the completion of the band shell in a few weeks oth-er attractions consisting of home talent are being planned and an-nouncements will be made as soon as sufficient progress is reported.

He early in the week, has been chang-ed this year, and no concessioner will be permitted to set up his stand until the afternoon or even-ing of the day before the Show's opening. A few things, including a merry-go- around, were placed on W. Main St. last year as early as Monday. This rule will be enforced this year. Concessioners will have to stay off the streets until the time for setting up their equipment has arrived. Preliminary plans for the Show this year were discussed at the meeting and call for a parade both Thursday and Friday-night«,-Kne an industrial and the other a mum-mers. The Treasurer's report showed a small balance from last year's fair. The 1936 Show receipts, in eluding a State appropriation of $200, amounted to over $1600. The expenditures were about $200 less. Cash premiums to exhibitors was the largest item of expenditures amounting to $600. Entertainment was the second largest item of expense.

The big event will be held again in the Landisville Camp-meeting ¿rounds and the date has been set for Sunday, Sept. 19. The songfest is the annual get-together of present and former members of this well-known group of singers and for the past four or five years the affair was been open to the public and attracts wide attention, drawing from 5000 to 10,000 persons. Mr. Rodeheaver was sought for the fest last year, but, due to radio engagements, was unable to ap-pear. B. D. Ackley, his accompan-ist and a gospel song writer also, and George W. Sanville, an execu-tive of Mr. Rodeheaver's music pub-lishing company, appeared at the songfest, singing and leading the people in songs. This year arrangements were made in time to enable Mr. Rode-heaver to appear at the affair and because of that, the crowd attend-ing is expected to be larger than ever. Three services will be* held, the first at 1:30 o'clock, the second, a vesper service at 6 o'clock and the evening service at 6:45 o'clock, all standard time. Mr. Rodeheaver will appear at all of them. Two groups will sing In the af ternoon. Rothsville Church To Vote Upon Pastor Sunday Church Council Has Recommended Reading Seminary Student The congregation of the Roths-ville Lutheran Church will vote Sunday morning on the selection of a pastor. The Church Council has recommended extending the call to Rev. Gerald Jacoby, Potts-ville, who graduated this spring from Mt. Airy Seminary. Rev. Jacoby preached in the church on two Sundays since the congregation withdrew from the Brickerville Parish several months ago. If the vote of the congregation is favorable the new pastor will assume his duties about Sept. 1 for the fall program. Rev. Dr. Kressley, of Reading, Secretary of Benevolence of the Ministerium of Penna., will deliver the sermon in the church Sunday morning.

There, was a special ceremony of dedica-tion. Lititz has produced some well known musicians. Wouldn't this be a good opportunity to honor one of them? Why not name our new shell the Paul Beck Bandshell, to honor the leader of the once fam-ous Lititz Band? Marge and Henry live along the Main Line—Ardmore, to be exact. They are a well-to-do, middle-aged couple. For years Marge has been a diet faddist. She has volumes of books on the subject of diet. She is not stout, nor is her husband, just a matter of keeping fit, saya she. Though fit they never are, being always on the verge of com-ing down with some disease or other, which they will explain was warded off just in the nick of time by exactly the proper diet. Their doctor always agrees with them: wise man. Each morning Marge rises early to prepare a good breakfast for Henry—a really perfect meal, so the books say. All you do is ta put raw carrots and red beets through the meat chopper, mix with egg yolks (giving the whites to your neighbor to make angel food cake) beat well and serve. Henry would keep the peace, so he drinks the mixture. So does Marge—feeling a thrill of satisfac-tion in being such a well-informed and dutiful wife. Henry leaves the house in plenty of time to take the 9.15 to the city. Perhaps a neigh-bor passes by in his car and offers to give him a lift to the station. Henry accepts gladly, always with this request, "If you don't mind, will you drop me off at Macintyres. They serve such a good substantial breakfast, all you can eat for fifty cents, and you should try their doughnuts sometime. You see I hate to have Marge get up at such an early hour to get breakfast for me. So long." In the meantime, Marge has washed the two glasses, put on her hat, gone out the rear garden gate to the business section of Ardmore, telling friends and neighbors whom she meets along the way—"I'm on my. way to Jones Coffee shop. I need a good substantial breakfast every morning, but Henry prefers his health drink. Jones' serve such a good breakfast with dough-nuts and everything you can eat for fifty cents." Now the whole neighborhood knows about the lit-tle game Marge and Henry play.

his deepest appreciation
for the aid rendered him last
Saturday night, when the street-car
beat him to the corner. The
benevolent brothers were local
musicians (trumpeter and drum-mer)
bound for the Wonderbar.
A pal of mine vacatinlng in New
York State writes me that, in the
vcinity of the St. Lawrence River,
"The fishing is lousey, the weather
¡3 fine, and the girls are mediocre."
He won't like my telling you this,
but, after all, who can resist that
last adjective?
I had entirely forgotten, until
someone snapped a spark and the
whole thing came back to mind.
The memory is not many yeara
old. Fruit roll! That's it. Re-member
the day? Peaches (if in
season), pears, apples, oranges,
bananas, potatoes, onions, an oc-casional
artichoke, and in the end
the whole affair could have easily
been called a vegetable roll in-stead.
Wasn't it a lot of fun, bang-ing
the old apple right up the
aisle, trying very hard to reach S e p t e m b e r 18

Planned for Latter Affair
There is one birthday anni-versary
that holds so little of the
magnificence of age that, it seems
to me, it could be well forgotten.
Nineteen. What does nineteen hold
for youth, for manhood and life?
Yet it has its glory, for the pos-sessor
of that age can boast a last
beautiful thought: I am still in my
'teens', and as long as that is true,
what is there to lose It is the
calm before the storm, that last age
of foolishness and experimentation
before attaining untried maturity.
Nineteen, twenty, twenty-one . . . .
Tomorrow and Saturday: at the
Lititz Theatre. A picture long
awaited, multi-reviewed and well
received by the movie-conscious
world. . . . "Captains Courageous
starring Spencer Tracy and Fred-die
Bartholomew. Kipling's story
of a Portuguese fisherman who
teaches a rich man's 'pampered
darling' son that there are other
values beside that of the almighty
dollar. This epic film of cod-fishing
days off Gloucester coast is graced
also by the performances of Lionel
Barrymore, Miokey Rooney, and
Melvyn Douglas. It's a stirring
and noble film, worthy of youf
attendance.
Three fine musical attractions
have been arranged for the Lititz
Springs Park. The first is a con-cert

deplored the wide divergence be-tween
the numbr of children in the
professional and industrial groups,
in an address before the Lancaster
County Farm Women's Societies,

graduates of women's college mar-ry

in cows, and eggs and size
in poultry. We develop better
