A HISTORIC EDIFICE The Jerusalem Evangelical and Reformed Church located at Penryn. Penryn E. & R. Church To Mark 229th Anniversary Dr. Rum’el Will Decide Addresses Local Club The brain is the greatest place of unemployment in the world, Dr. Paul Z. Rummel, of Lancaster, informed members of the Lititz Woman’s Club Monday evening. Dr. Rummel, who is professor of psychology at Mlllersville State Teachers College, was introduced by Mrs. William Mitchell. Mrs. Martin Kutz, president, presided at the meeting held in the General Sutter Hotel. Devoting much of his talk on the conduct of children. Dr. Rummel said that "without the understanding of the parents a child can grow up to be mala-justed.” Of psychiatric cases in the nation, 30 per-cent are cured of mental ills, 30 per-cent partially cured and 30 per-cent which cannot possibly be cured, Dr. Rummel cited. Discussing child reactions, he emphasized that "all children want to he loved by their teachers and parents.” Psychiatrists always question not what patients are doing now, but what they did in their early life. The model child does not necessarily become a happy adult and he does not believe in pressuring young children. “A be-first complex is not good for children, “Dr. Rummel emphasized. Prior to the talk, Miss Cath-ryn Adams presented three local girl scouts, Brook Minnich, Lorraine Miller and Nina Stroble, who described the Senior Girl Scout Round-up held in Michigan (Continued on Page 12) Observing its 229th anniversary this coming Sunday, Jerusalem Evangelical and Reformed Church at Penrjm will be the scene of many a homecoming on the part of previous members and their descendants.

The first church building was constructed of logs in the year 1735; and was replaced a century later by another but larger log building which was covered with weather-boarding. (Continued on Page 7) On Extending Sewer Lines The policy to be followed in extending borough sewer mains to sections not now reached will be decided at a meeting of the Sewer Authority November 14 when the local body will be addressed by Alfred Estrada, of Albright & Freil, consulting engineers, it was announced this week. At last month’s meeting of council, borough officials went on record as favoring building the sewer extensions at borough cost and with funds refunded from the state. Advised of this, the engineering firm has taken the stand property owners should be assessed a part of the cost. Streets where sewer mains will be laid include about 200 feet on Forney Drive, East Second Street east of Cherry; Kissel Hill Road, Locust Street and South Broad, south of Fifth Street. The sewer improvement fund created when . the sewer bonds were issued also contains funds which might be used for the improvement, borough officials pointed out.

TRINITY LADIES TO HOLD RUMMAGE SALE The Ladies Aid Society of the Trinity Evangelical Congregational Church will hold a Rummage Sale in the Firehouse on Friday and Saturday, October 26 and 27. Homemade baked goods wlil be on sale. New Telephone Numbers To Become Effectivé Sunday From — (The Bibit He that hateth his brothei is in darkness and walketh in darkness and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.—(John 1,11.) But in giving a sincere, pleasant Bmile; in doing a kindness; in being thoughtful, considerate; in simply holding good thoughts aboul others—in these small, easy ways we will ever walk in oIa v ia iia I « /vVt The new telephone numbers throughout this section will become effective Sunday morning at 3:01, according to an announcement by the Denver & Ephrata Telephone Company this week. From then on, Lititz numbers will be listed under the MAdison exchange, with other nearby communities listed as follows: Ephrata, REpubli;c Manheim, MOhawk; Denver, ANdrew; and Adamstown, HUxley. Mailing of new telephone number cards to be pasted over the old numbers was completed this week, Mrs. Bertha Brossman Eaby, vice president of the company, explained. Distribution of the new directories also was underway and will be completed today. The new directories cannot be used until Sunday, it was explained. The new central office names, Mrs. Eaby said, were chosen after a considerable amount of research and name testing over a period of many years by engineers of the Bell System. In order to prevent confusion and misdialing of calls, central office „ ~ ,-W, t z r t * + U A n c i ' l t ' stood when spoken and easily spelled. After October 21, our exchanges will become part of the Nation- Wide System of Numbering, which is made necessary by the great expansion of the dial system and the greater distance over which calls may be dialed. Preparations for the change have been underway locally for the past three years. Installation of special equipment in all of the central offices had to be made. 3 50 switches in our five offices had to be modified and new cables installed; telephone dial number plates had to be changed on 15,460 telephones and many other small but very important adjustments had to he made. The actual transition on Sunday morning will take only a few seconds in each of the five local exchanges. Another change, Mrs. Eaby announced, will be the introduction of a four-column directory instead of the three - column book. This will make the directory more compact and easier to use. As a suggestion, all personal lists of frequently called Crucial Meeting To Decide Park’s Future Will Be Held Monday Moravians Will Vote On Relinquishing Control Of Historic Tract What is being described as one of the most far-reaching meetings in the past hundred years of the Moravian Church will be held in Fellowship Hall Monday night when the congregation will be asked to relinquish all control over the Springs Park although retaining ownership. At that time, members of the Bobst Committee headed by Wilbur Miller, will present its outline of the proposed method and procedure for the control and management of the park by the group to be formed representing all churches and important civic organizations of the borough. It was exactly 101 years ago that the Moravian Congregation met similarly and threw open the community to persons of other denominations, after having maintained a strictly Moravian town for the preceding century, it was recalled here this week. The report of the Bobst committee was submitted to Elmer Bobst, now vacationing in Florida, in time for study and apparently has met with his full approval. With plans for the extensive Improvement and enlargement of the park now being rushed to completion under Mr. Bobst’s direction, approval of the congregation to the report is expected to be forthcoming Monday night. The first sign of actual work in the park occurred this week when Henry Huth, of Lancaster, began a survey of the tract to determine the boundaries and to provide complete data for McCloud and Scatchard, local landscape architects, now working on the park improvement program. As plans for the park were being pushed ahead, the hitherto hot controversy over the possibility of a service station being erected near the park entrance on Broad Street, remained ominously quiet. As far as could be determined, the properties now are the property of the Atlantic Refining Company which apparently has not proceded any further with plans for any improvement there. SMALL PRY GRIDDERS MEET HORNETS SUNDAY There will be no Midget football here this Sunday. The local boys will meet the Hornets on the Manheim Township field; and the following Sunday they play the Eagles. On November 4, the Pretzellettes will give an exhibition of baton twirling at half time. OSTEOPATHIC GUILD TO HOLD RAKED HAM SUPPER A baked ham supper sponsored by the Lititz Giuld of the Osteopathic Hospital will be held in the firehouse* on November 10 from 4 to 8 i>.m. LOCAL SPORTSMEN WILL HUNT TURKEY A group of seven local sportsmen will leave Friday for Cedar Run, Lycoming County, to hunt wild turkey. They include Owen Hershey, Dr. Chester L. Wertsch, Abe Hershey, Dervin Runk, Harvey Runk, Raymond Runk, and Chester Wertsch, Jr. Com. Chest Collections Seen Lagging United Community Campaign collections here are lagging hut are expected to gain momentum with the second reporting by local team captains this Friday, Herbert Kraybill, borough chairman, announced last night. To-date the borough has collected a total of $1,443. This amount includes $850 tufrned over from the Industrial Committee by Woody Meiskey, chairman, but does not include anything from a number of team captains. , “A number of captains had nothing to report when we called last Friday, but practically all of these have gone into action and I expect at least partial reports from all this Friday,” Mr. Kraybill announced. "While Lititz has raised only 15 per-cent of its quota, I feel certain we have only gotten off to a slow start and will quickly make this up,” he concluded. Returns submitted last Friday showed the county to have reached $358,011, or approximately 42 per-cent, of its goal. Elizabethtown was the first county borough to go over its quota, reporting $5.530 already raised. Center Sponsors 5-Year Program For Recreation An extensive 5-year study of (recreational facilities for the borough is being conducted by Richard Westgate, Middle Atlantic District representative for the National Recreational Association, it was learned this week. Members of the board of directors of the Recreation Center, and Robert Sutherland, recreational director, are assisting Mr. West-gate in his exhaustive survey. Mr. Sutherland said that plans for two additional playgrounds are already on drawing boards, and that two others are being sought in other sections of the borough. He pointed out that the survey may not be completed for another six weeks ;and that full details of the findings and rec-commendations for attaining an expanded program wlil be discus- (Continued on Page 7) Eisenhower Bandwagon To Stop In Lititz On Wednesday The Eisenhower Bandwagon, complete with beauty queens, music, an array of speakers and banners galore, will visit Lititz next Wednesday shortly after noon, it was announced this week. Leaving Schaefferstown shortly after noon, the bandwagon will make its first stop in the county at Brickerville where a short program will be presented. The bandwagon is expected to reach Lititz at 1:25 p.m. and will remain here approximately half an hour. Stops also will be made at Kissel Hill, Neffsville and the Lancaster Stock Yards before. The bandwagon is one of six units touring the nation. Wednesday evening a bandwagon torchlight parade will be held in Lancaster and is expected to be reminiscent of torchlight parades of half a century ago. The parade will start at Musser Park, Lancaster, at 7 p.m. and will tour principal streets of the center of the city. Featured in the parade will be bands from Upper-Leaccok, Ephrata and Lampeter-Strasburg High Schools, the Elk Drill Team, all eight of the Ike Girl Contest winners and others.

Stream Through The Park Appears To Be Drying Up The sad status of the stream running through the Lititz Springs Park was causing considerable concern here this week. With the stream dropping perceptibly each day for the past week, the stream, fed by the famous springs in the park, had become a mere trickle at the point where it passes under the bridge at Broad Street, yesterday. And while some observers noted that all streams in this locality still are not back to normal, others pointed out that the stream in the park Is in much worse shape than any of the others. Old-timers could not recall seeing the str.eam this low— at this time of year—at any time since the record-breaking drouth of a decade ago when the stream dried up completely. The claim that the borough was drawing too much water from the borough wells nearby with the result that the springs suffered, was refuted by Borough Manager David Bauer who produced figures showing that the borough Is pumping less water now than it was one year ago. By eliminating l e a k a g e s throughout the borough in a campaign launched more than a year ago, the water department during the past month has been pumping 40,000 gallons per day less than on the same dates last year. This reduction is despite that the Lambert-Hudnut plant here now uses approximately 35,000 gallons of borough water daily. The cleaning out of the stream at the Broad Street bridge was advanced as one reason for the stream level to drop. The pumping of a considerable amount of water from private wells by the Wilbur-Suchard Chocolate Company also was seen a possible reason for the stream’s low level. Borough Councilman John Helter expressed the opinion that the building of many homes west of the borough could be tapping the borough’s water source. Local sportsmen were protecting a large number of fingerllng trout placed In the stream, by moving them west of the small dam in the park. The boards at this dam, located near the Center, have been left In place to keep the stream level high at this point. Should those boards be removed, as was the practice for many years at this time, the stream leading to the head-end would practically dry up, Frank Brown, park committee member and caretaker, pointed out. Orange Street Again Delayed Despite that all curb has been laid and grading completed, West Orange Street will not be repaved until after the State Highway crew has completed two other projects, It was disclosed here this week. At present, state workers are re-surfacing Water Street from Main Street to the borough line. This is expected to be completed this week when the state highway crew will move to another project north of the borough. They expect to return to Orange Street within the next two weeks. Business League Plans Ladies Night1 Dinner A ladies night banquet will be held by the Young Men’s Business League at the General Sutter Hotel Monday evening, November 12. Plans tor the banquet were completed at a meeting held this ^reek. The program will feature the renowned J. Paul Kehm, in what is described as one of the most unusual entertainment programs ever presented locally. The dinner will start at 6:30 p.m. Getting To Know Them------------------------------ The Lambert-Hudnut Family In Our Town Laurie D. Cox, Jr., now a resident of Lancaster, is in charge of all accounting operations at Lambert-Hudnut Manufacturing Laboratories, and is a native of upper New York State.

Flares Police Prosecute Ephrata Man Allegedly Caught In The Act Borough police were quick in prosecuting the first of the pranksters to carry their tricks to the dangerous stage here this week. In fact, one alleged culprit found himself collared by police who arrived on the scene in the local police cruiser before he had completed removing caution lights from the street. According to Chief of Police Lloyd Hoffman, he and Officer Edward Maharg were driving in the cruiser west on Woodcrest Avenue when they suddenly sighted a man kicking the warning flares away from a barrier across the road. The barrier was placed there to close the road due to the digging of a sewer excavation a few feet further west. After his arrest, the defendant identified himself as Leroy D. Martin, of Ephrata, but could give no satisfactory explanation. of his actions. He will face a hearing before Justice of the Peace Paul F. Diehm on a charge of removing warning flares from the highway. Police pointed ont that removal of the flares might have caused a serious accident if motorists had no warning of the excavation across the highway. Police also reported that pranksters with a queer sense of humor had shattered the window of a new automobile parked along the street. Melvin B. Siegfried, of Lancaster, said the car was parked near Diem’s Implement store when the damage was done. Police also have received reports of the damaging of porch chairs, bird baths and other household articles in various parts of the borough during the past three nights. Boro Leaders To Be Feted As LrH Opens A banquet is being planned in conjunction with the Open House * festivities at the Lambert-Hudnut Manufacturing Laboratories on November 14, it was disclosed this week by company officials. Preparations are being made to issue invitations to representatives of each local industry, as well as representatives of Borough Council, School Board, Civic Club and Ministerial Association, Richard Pecheur, personnel director, announced. The plant will be open for inspection to employees and their families the evening of November 13; and according to plans at present, will be open to the public during the afternoon and evening of the day following, Wednesday, November 14, with the banquet tentatively scheduled for 6 o’clock that evening. Included in the plans for entertainment, will be the apear-ance of Giselle MacKenzie and Snooky Lanson, well-known TV stars appearing each week on the Hit Parade.” Final and complete plans for the affair will be announced in the near future, Mr. Pecheur stated. Window Painting Project Proving Popular Here The Hallowe’en window painting contest sponsored by the Rec-creation Center, has met with almost one hundred percent cooperation on the part of local storekeepers, Robert Sutherland, Center director, reported yesterday. He said that next Thursday and Friday will probably be the days when most of the boys and girls will try their skills on store windows throughout the boro, vieing for recognition in their daubing. HALLOWE’EN PARTY FOR GOLD STAR MOTHERS The Ladies Auxiliary 1463, VFW, will entertain the Gold Star Mothers with a Hallowe’en Party next Tuesday evening at 7:30 at the Post Home on Spruce Street.

Another change, Mrs. Eaby announced, will be the introduction of a four-column directory instead of the three - column book. This will make the directory more compact and easier to use. As a suggestion, all personal lists of frequently called Crucial Meeting To Decide Park’s Future Will Be Held Monday Moravians Will Vote On Relinquishing Control Of Historic Tract What is being described as one of the most far-reaching meetings in the past hundred years of the Moravian Church will be held in Fellowship Hall Monday night when the congregation will be asked to relinquish all control over the Springs Park although retaining ownership. At that time, members of the Bobst Committee headed by Wilbur Miller, will present its outline of the proposed method and procedure for the control and management of the park by the group to be formed representing all churches and important civic organizations of the borough. It was exactly 101 years ago that the Moravian Congregation met similarly and threw open the community to persons of other denominations, after having maintained a strictly Moravian town for the preceding century, it was recalled here this week. The report of the Bobst committee was submitted to Elmer Bobst, now vacationing in Florida, in time for study and apparently has met with his full approval. With plans for the extensive Improvement and enlargement of the park now being rushed to completion under Mr. Bobst’s direction, approval of the congregation to the report is expected to be forthcoming Monday night. The first sign of actual work in the park occurred this week when Henry Huth, of Lancaster, began a survey of the tract to determine the boundaries and to provide complete data for McCloud and Scatchard, local landscape architects, now working on the park improvement program. As plans for the park were being pushed ahead, the hitherto hot controversy over the possibility of a service station being erected near the park entrance on Broad Street, remained ominously quiet. As far as could be determined, the properties now are the property of the Atlantic Refining Company which apparently has not proceded any further with plans for any improvement there.

Chest Collections Seen Lagging United Community Campaign collections here are lagging hut are expected to gain momentum with the second reporting by local team captains this Friday, Herbert Kraybill, borough chairman, announced last night. To-date the borough has collected a total of $1,443. This amount includes $850 tufrned over from the Industrial Committee by Woody Meiskey, chairman, but does not include anything from a number of team captains. , “A number of captains had nothing to report when we called last Friday, but practically all of these have gone into action and I expect at least partial reports from all this Friday,” Mr. Kraybill announced. "While Lititz has raised only 15 per-cent of its quota, I feel certain we have only gotten off to a slow start and will quickly make this up,” he concluded. Returns submitted last Friday showed the county to have reached $358,011, or approximately 42 per-cent, of its goal. Elizabethtown was the first county borough to go over its quota, reporting $5.530 already raised.

Stream Through The Park Appears To Be Drying Up The sad status of the stream running through the Lititz Springs Park was causing considerable concern here this week. With the stream dropping perceptibly each day for the past week, the stream, fed by the famous springs in the park, had become a mere trickle at the point where it passes under the bridge at Broad Street, yesterday. And while some observers noted that all streams in this locality still are not back to normal, others pointed out that the stream in the park Is in much worse shape than any of the others. Old-timers could not recall seeing the str.eam this low— at this time of year—at any time since the record-breaking drouth of a decade ago when the stream dried up completely. The claim that the borough was drawing too much water from the borough wells nearby with the result that the springs suffered, was refuted by Borough Manager David Bauer who produced figures showing that the borough Is pumping less water now than it was one year ago. By eliminating l e a k a g e s throughout the borough in a campaign launched more than a year ago, the water department during the past month has been pumping 40,000 gallons per day less than on the same dates last year. This reduction is despite that the Lambert-Hudnut plant here now uses approximately 35,000 gallons of borough water daily. The cleaning out of the stream at the Broad Street bridge was advanced as one reason for the stream level to drop. The pumping of a considerable amount of water from private wells by the Wilbur-Suchard Chocolate Company also was seen a possible reason for the stream’s low level. Borough Councilman John Helter expressed the opinion that the building of many homes west of the borough could be tapping the borough’s water source. Local sportsmen were protecting a large number of fingerllng trout placed In the stream, by moving them west of the small dam in the park. The boards at this dam, located near the Center, have been left In place to keep the stream level high at this point. Should those boards be removed, as was the practice for many years at this time, the stream leading to the head-end would practically dry up, Frank Brown, park committee member and caretaker, pointed out. Orange Street Again Delayed Despite that all curb has been laid and grading completed, West Orange Street will not be repaved until after the State Highway crew has completed two other projects, It was disclosed here this week. At present, state workers are re-surfacing Water Street from Main Street to the borough line. This is expected to be completed this week when the state highway crew will move to another project north of the borough. They expect to return to Orange Street within the next two weeks.

Flares Police Prosecute Ephrata Man Allegedly Caught In The Act Borough police were quick in prosecuting the first of the pranksters to carry their tricks to the dangerous stage here this week. In fact, one alleged culprit found himself collared by police who arrived on the scene in the local police cruiser before he had completed removing caution lights from the street. According to Chief of Police Lloyd Hoffman, he and Officer Edward Maharg were driving in the cruiser west on Woodcrest Avenue when they suddenly sighted a man kicking the warning flares away from a barrier across the road. The barrier was placed there to close the road due to the digging of a sewer excavation a few feet further west. After his arrest, the defendant identified himself as Leroy D. Martin, of Ephrata, but could give no satisfactory explanation. of his actions. He will face a hearing before Justice of the Peace Paul F. Diehm on a charge of removing warning flares from the highway. Police pointed ont that removal of the flares might have caused a serious accident if motorists had no warning of the excavation across the highway. Police also reported that pranksters with a queer sense of humor had shattered the window of a new automobile parked along the street. Melvin B. Siegfried, of Lancaster, said the car was parked near Diem’s Implement store when the damage was done. Police also have received reports of the damaging of porch chairs, bird baths and other household articles in various parts of the borough during the past three nights.
