TOWN TALK
We notice that our genial shoe
merchant, W. M. Grube, has im-proved
"the looks" of his store in-side
by replacing the shoe boxes on
all the shelves. The new boxes are
a shade in between a cream and
faint green, and are most attrac-tive.
The replaced boxes were a
light orange color.
Jerry Adams has much more
room to display his store articles
and customers have an opportunity
to walk around the counters and
see t h e merchandise since he moved
"across the street" into his garage
The next meeting will be held at , building. The new arrangement
e home of Miss Mary Huebener ' gives him a bright and cheerful,

Lititz High School's basketball
team was successful in their first
game in the State Championship
play-offs, Tuesday night, when they
defeated Perry Township High at
Reading by the score of 37 to 26.
Perry High was thé Berks County
Scholastic Champions.
Saturday night Coach Clyde C.
Arbegast and his men will play
the Lebanon High School five on
the Madrid court at Harrisburg to
decide the winners of District 3 of
the P. I. A. A. championship. The
Lebanon team successfully took
their first step in the P. I. A. A.
play-offs Tuesday night, defeating
Mechanicsburg High School, 37 to
20 at Carlisle. Lebanon won the
Central Pennsy League champion-ship
this year.
Local persons who witnessed the
Lebanon-Mechanicsburg game at
Carlisle were enthusiastic in their
belief that Lititz High for the first
time since entering the State ~
Championship play-offs, have a
good chance to move higher in the
race this year than they have ever
been able to do before. With this
spark of hope in practically every
basketball fan's breast, it is quite
likely that as many local people
will be on hand for the Harrisburg
game as viewed the Lititz-Steelton
game at Maple Grove, Lancaster,
last year.
Only 1000 fans attended the
game at Reading on Tuesday night,
likely due to the rain and foggy
weather, but Saturday night's bat-tle
is expected to draw that many
from Lititz alone.
Lititz High led from the opening
period in the game Tuesday night
and held that lead in all periods.

Is March 21 Your Birthday?
2 hen Celebrate with Theatre
Is March 21 your birthday?
If it is, you can celebrate along
with the Lititz Theatre, for on that
day, to mark its first birthday, the
management will admit free all
whose birthday it is.
You'll need a birth certificate or
some record to prove you were
born on March 21, but that should
be a simple matter. Just present
yourself at the door, with your
proof, and you will be admitted
free.
But that is not the only way in
which the Theatre will observe its
first anniversary. For a week,
special big shows will be on the
program, and to begin the celebra-tion,
the Lititz High School Band,
which played at the opening one
year ago, will play next Friday and
Saturday nights. They will give a
concert each evening before the
first show and between the first and
second shows.
The Theatre lobby will be re-decorated
for the anniversary, and
there will be numerous other fea-tures
during anniversary week.
The list of fine pictures to be shown
throughout anniversary week will
be announced next week.
