In other business, the Supervisors have requested the Department of Transportation for a no passing zone on Route 501 from the borough line to Newport Road due to the difficulty of entering the highway from businesses along the road and because the road is hazardous when it is wet. The Supervisors heard again the request of Ronald Whitcraft for the rezoning of a 2.5 acre tract, formerly the Southern Pipeline property, from agricultural to commercial. Whitcraft had previously asked for the land to be zoned light industry. That request had been denied.

Total cost of the bridge was $7,500. The Linden Hall Echo, Also Started In 1877, Getting New Masthead, Too In the masthead of the Litiz Record-Express at the top of page 1, it is recorded each week that the newspaper was founded in April, 1877 as The Sunbeam. But most Lititz citizens probably don’t know that another Lititz newspaper was started a few months earlier. It was the Linden Hall Echo, started in January 1877 to serve the Linden Hall School for Girls. The Echo is still being published at Linden Hall, as this letter received from the school recently in regard to the Record- Express’ masthead contest shows: Editor, Record-Express: Your decision to draw up a new masthead came on the same day as it was decided to design a new masthead for the student newspaper. Your readers might be encouraged to help you knowing a little about a famous masthead in our own student paper. THE LITITZ RECORD-EXPRESS traces its history to April, 1877. By coincidence Linden Hall’s paper was printed for the first time on January 1877. After eleven issues, in the February, 1878 issue the paper appeared with a new masthead.

Lorees Yerby’s play “Save Me a Place at Forest Lawn” , Directed by Dorothy Kilheffer, will follow the business meeting. Mrs. Kilheffer has acted in many plays, both for the Lancaster Little Theater and for the Green Room at Franklin and Marshall. She now confines her talents to directing, notably The Matchmaker, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, and The Little Foxes. She is also the original director for the Musi-comedy Guild. Cast as the two octogenarians in this one-act play are Patricia Sullivan and Emily (Pat) Hoffman. Miss Sullivan, Director of Drama at Linden Hall, has to her credit a total of 13 shows in summer stock in New Hampshire, Ephrata and Mt. Gretna. She has also done 18 local performances for the LLT, the Lancaster Theater Arts Association, The Mary Guild, and the Actors’ Company, most notably Angel Street and Harvey for the LLT, the Dolly Levi roll in The Matchmaker for LTAA, and Look Homeward, Angel for Actors’ Company. Mrs. Hoffman has acted and directed locally since she and her husband Richard moved to Lancaster over 20 years ago. She is co-founder of the Actors’ Company, teaches the summer apprentice theater at the Lancaster Country Day School, and has her own Studio of Dramatic Arts. Most notable of her acting successes are the roll of Blanche in A Streetcar Named Desire for the Green Room, Amanda Wingfield in The Glass Menagerie, and Regina Giddens in The Little Foxes, both for Actors’ Company. Mrs. Hoffman also has the distinction of being an honorary member of the allmale Green Room. Mrs. Virginia Campbell, also a veteran of LTAA, Actors’ Company, and the Green Room, is the production assistant. Her most notable performance was that of the Pennsylvania Dutch woman in the 1970 G.O.P. show. Mrs. Kilheffer, Mrs. Hoffman, and Miss Sullivan have all had life-long interest in the theater, but this is the first time they have worked together. Miss Barbara Wise will introduce Mrs. Kilheffer who, in turn, will introduce the play. Hostesses for the evening are Mrs. Sam Savoca and Mrs. Raymond Sipe. The earliest copies of the Linden Hall Echo are carefully preserved at Linden Hall in a bound booklet form with issues beginning in January 1877 and running through June 1882. Printed on 9 by 12 inch pages, the typical early issue of the Echo was four pages in size, filled with general items of national, international and school news. By today’s standards, most ot the items would be described as commentary rather than news of the who, what, when, where, why and how type. Viewed in the light of modern trends, including women’s lib, our readers may enjoy the comments of Linden Hall girls about life in the 1870’s. Women’s lib was a long way off then, but in some items the beginnings of it are evident. In many other items, the fashions and attitudes of women of the day are revealed. Knocks Sewing Machines In the November 1877 issue of the Echo, “Felice’’writes “A Word for Plain Sewing” in which she laments that the “womanly art of sewing by hand is fast becoming obsolete. Much fancy-work and many sewing machines are doing the deed. And shall we let our right hands lose their skill, and thus miss one of our chief sources of helpfulness in this mundane sphere of treacherous buttons, transitory stocking heels, and aggressive knees and elbows? All true women forbid it!” Felice admits that sewing machines “save time and do more elaborate work,” but she concludes: “I say the woman who does not know how to wield the needle with her own fingers to good effect on occasion, is destitute of one of the cardinal accomplishments, and is, by so much, unfitted for a life of womanly usefulness.” On Dressing Well In the same issue, an author who describes herself as “A Sensitive Plant” writes on “The Aim and End of Woman’s Dress.” She takes a mild swipe at men when she states that “the desire to be well dressed is not restricted to womankind, any more than bad taste is to mankind, nor perhaps quite so much-I speak with charity toward all and malice toward none—only opinions of tastes vary, regardless of sex, as to when a person is well dressed. She concludes, “Now bad taste is certainly a thing to be corrected, whether displayed by man or woman, but upon proper grounds and from a correct standpoint, -simply because it is offensive not to men only, but to men and women of good taste, and bespeaks a defect in th e1 character which the possessor should lose no time in correcting.” Crimps Her Style In the February 1878 issue, “Alta” gets into a more weighty social matter in her “A Plea for Crimps.” She begins, “A curve is the line of beauty: a waveline is more pleasing than a straight one; hence, crimped hair is prettier than straight locks. “Take away crimps, and you take away not only one of woman’s pet adornments, but one of her innocent pastimes. You might just as well rob men of the much prized moustache. The loss of either would, beyond doubt, reduce the good looks of the nation deplorably; but to be suddenly deprived of the sight of both would indeed be a blow to beauty, which would probably cause more anguish than has been occasioned by the prolonged Travelogue Series, Will Present “Desert to Dixie99 The Rotary Club of Lititz will present the first in the series of “Travel and Adventure” series on Saturday, October 23. There will be a matinee at 3 p.m. and an evening program at 8 p.m. in the auditorium of Warwick High School. The featured artist will be Robert Brouwer who will narrate an adventuresome travelogue entitled “Desert to Dixie” using three movie screens and four projectors with stereophonic sound. Do you wish to savor the flavor of the Old West? - Visit cities known for romantic atmosphere? - Recapture the South’s romantic past? - Be awed by the beauty of the changing season? If you appreciate proud moments in American history, enjoy the dramatic, poetic, artistic, or if vou just like to have fun-come along and wander and wonder in the places of beauty and history % Â Robert Brouwer that Robert Brouwer has captured on film and in music. Join him in fascinating New Orleans, the Paris of the New World, with its enchanting French Quarter. See San Antonio, where the influence of Old Spain lives in the time-mellowed missions. Stroll in the steps of General Ulysses S. Grant, along the battlefield at Vicksburg, and be reminded of the high cost of national unity. Or thrill to the spirit of the well known, and the unknown, who died in the flames at the Alamo. Recall Longfellow’s immortal poem “Evangeline” in its true setting, along a moonlit bayou. Rest beneath the very moss-draped trees where painter-naturalist Audubon sketched his famous bird studies. Dream, in the story book settings, the fabulous interiors of century-old plantations along the lower Mississippi, still magnificent even in ruin. Explore the fascinating variety and vastness of the scenic desert, climaxed by the views of hauntingly lovely Monument Valley after a desert rainstorm. Be awed by the beauty of the changing seasons—The Great Smokies in a haze of autumn, or in the burst of colorful spring blossoms. Romp in the dazzling dunes at White Sands National Monument, camp and fish in Louisana’s parks, tour mysterious Carlsbad Caverns, cross the world’s longest bridge, and spend an exciting day at the Texan Disneyland, Six Flags Over Texas. Music fanciers will find moodsetting, stereo melodies—battle tunes, nostalgic tunes, spirituals, rousing tunes and relaxing tunes- —all inspiring! Yerger Bros, to Expand Yerger Bros. Inc., Lititz wood products firm, is in the preliminary stages of expansion. The firm, located at 520 Front Street, will build a new warehouse and three loading docks on its land near Oak Street. But the primary reason tor the new facility is to release warehouse floor space in the present facility for up to a 50 per cent increase in manufacturing space, according to Roy Yerger, company president. The company now has about 40 employes. As the expansion proceeds, the number will increase, Yerger said. A $100,000 building permit for the new warehouse is included in Lititz Borough’s September building permits. Total permits for the month was $133,500, bringing the yearly total to date to $1,448,458. This compares with $965,083 at the same point in 1970 and is approximately a 50 per cent increase.

The candidates will also be holding a “meet the candidates” supper at the General Sutter at 6 p.m. Friday. The supper will be “Dutch Treat” and open to all concerned Lititz area residents who wish to meet and talk with the candidates. The candidates include Ray Herr and Abram Dombach, candidates for county commissioner, and Wilson Bucher, candidate for judge. They will be making the visit to Lititz as part of a Republican plan to bring the election to the people, according to paTty county chairman Pdul F. Paes. Paes indicated that the visit to Lititz and other towns and boroughs throughout the county is designed to give as many voters as possible the opportunity to meet and talk with their candidates. “We feel it is important that every candidate for public office take the time and trouble to meet the men and women they are asking for votes,” said Paes. the 1870’s financial depression that we are still experiencing.” And Alta concludes, “Henceforward, condemnation of crimps will be to me an indication positive either of jealousy or of (Continued on Page 16) Miss Miriam Troup Greeting Our New Teachers Editor’s note: This is the second in a series of articles describing the new teachers in the Warwick Schools.

Mrs. Kilheffer, Mrs. Hoffman, and Miss Sullivan have all had life-long interest in the theater, but this is the first time they have worked together. Miss Barbara Wise will introduce Mrs. Kilheffer who, in turn, will introduce the play. Hostesses for the evening are Mrs. Sam Savoca and Mrs. Raymond Sipe. The earliest copies of the Linden Hall Echo are carefully preserved at Linden Hall in a bound booklet form with issues beginning in January 1877 and running through June 1882. Printed on 9 by 12 inch pages, the typical early issue of the Echo was four pages in size, filled with general items of national, international and school news. By today’s standards, most ot the items would be described as commentary rather than news of the who, what, when, where, why and how type. Viewed in the light of modern trends, including women’s lib, our readers may enjoy the comments of Linden Hall girls about life in the 1870’s. Women’s lib was a long way off then, but in some items the beginnings of it are evident. In many other items, the fashions and attitudes of women of the day are revealed. Knocks Sewing Machines In the November 1877 issue of the Echo, “Felice’’writes “A Word for Plain Sewing” in which she laments that the “womanly art of sewing by hand is fast becoming obsolete. Much fancy-work and many sewing machines are doing the deed. And shall we let our right hands lose their skill, and thus miss one of our chief sources of helpfulness in this mundane sphere of treacherous buttons, transitory stocking heels, and aggressive knees and elbows? All true women forbid it!” Felice admits that sewing machines “save time and do more elaborate work,” but she concludes: “I say the woman who does not know how to wield the needle with her own fingers to good effect on occasion, is destitute of one of the cardinal accomplishments, and is, by so much, unfitted for a life of womanly usefulness.” On Dressing Well In the same issue, an author who describes herself as “A Sensitive Plant” writes on “The Aim and End of Woman’s Dress.” She takes a mild swipe at men when she states that “the desire to be well dressed is not restricted to womankind, any more than bad taste is to mankind, nor perhaps quite so much-I speak with charity toward all and malice toward none—only opinions of tastes vary, regardless of sex, as to when a person is well dressed. She concludes, “Now bad taste is certainly a thing to be corrected, whether displayed by man or woman, but upon proper grounds and from a correct standpoint, -simply because it is offensive not to men only, but to men and women of good taste, and bespeaks a defect in th e1 character which the possessor should lose no time in correcting.” Crimps Her Style In the February 1878 issue, “Alta” gets into a more weighty social matter in her “A Plea for Crimps.” She begins, “A curve is the line of beauty: a waveline is more pleasing than a straight one; hence, crimped hair is prettier than straight locks. “Take away crimps, and you take away not only one of woman’s pet adornments, but one of her innocent pastimes. You might just as well rob men of the much prized moustache. The loss of either would, beyond doubt, reduce the good looks of the nation deplorably; but to be suddenly deprived of the sight of both would indeed be a blow to beauty, which would probably cause more anguish than has been occasioned by the prolonged Travelogue Series, Will Present “Desert to Dixie99 The Rotary Club of Lititz will present the first in the series of “Travel and Adventure” series on Saturday, October 23.
