Halloween
Queen Is
Sue Minnich
Old Ju p i te r ¡Pluvius played
havoc with the local celebra­tion
of Halloween, dumping
tons of rain on Lititz Tuesday
to postpone the parade th a t
night, and a lew more tons on
Wednesday, making the rain
date production of the parade
dubious.
However, a t press time yes­terday,
the parade was schedul­ed
to go on “ rain or shine,”
la s t night.
Scheduled to be crowned
Halloween Queen was Sue Min-nich,
d a u g h te r of Mrs. Sylvia
Minnich, 509 S. Cedar St. Her
a tten d an ts were the two ru n ­ners-
up, Donna Rosenberg,
d a u g h te r of Mr. and Mrs. Ro­b
e r t Rosenberg, 527 F ro n t St.,
and Ba rb a ra J e a n Adams,
d a u g h te r of Mr. an d Mrs.
Ha rry Adams 535 N. Wa te r
Street. The Queen was to be
crowned by the out-going
Queen, Mary Ann Hess, d au g h ­te
r of Mr. and Mr3. A r th u r
Hess, Bareville R l .
The queen was chosen by
vote of the senior class and
judged by three faculty mem­bers:
Miss Johanne Smith, Miss
Mary Roland and Mrs. Mar­ga
re t Steiner.
The rain also put a damper
on the Trick or Treat activities
in the borough and su r ro u n d ­ing
areas, but on the other
hand had a prevent alive effect
on vandalism, which was r e ­ported
by police us a t a mini­mum.
Lititz, like every community
in the county, will participate
in the medical re c ru itmen t pro­gram
known as Project MORE,
d u r in g November, sponsored by
the American Academy of Gen­eral
Practice. The program will
be carr ied out ajnong the high
school s tudents of the coun­ty.
■
Lancas ter County has been
selected out of the entire n a ­tion
as a test a re a because it
has an active chapte r of the
AGP. Next year the program
will be carried o u t th roughout
the country. The 'program is
being ru n o n a t r ia l basis,-
and this will be firs t time the
young people can really be
told what they want to know
about the piedical profession.
I t will answer questions in
their minds such as “ Can I get
in? Wh a t is it really like?
What does it cos t?”
In brief, the program will be
as follows: a s tudent assembly,
two smaller meetings with s tu ­dents
who show special inte r­est,
tours of hospitals, and a
day with a doctor. Those show­ing
sufficient interes t will take
an examination later for which
a $1000 scholarship will be
awarded.
The program here in Lititz
has been set up by Dr. Ar th u r
S. Griswold, who is also May­or
of Lititz, and is coordinator
of the program. The County
-Coordinator is Dr. Edward J.
Kowalewski, of Akron, who is
a member of the Warwick

to a survey made by two
members of the Ju n io r Cham­ber

One surveyor, Meek, found

project, and there was no
enthus iasm about th e idea.”
The other surveyor, Loercher,

Scranton - Dilworth Clash
Expected To Bring Large
Numbers Of Voters To Polls
but none feel th a t an His tori­cal
res toration program is the
immediate and most urgent
problem.
Loc rchc r’s opinion was th a t
the lack of enthus iasm is a t ­tr
ibuted to the fact th a t over
the past decade they have been
confronted with three differ-tnt
types of programs: 1) a
complete modernization pro­gram
in the early 19 50’s urged
b y . th e Chamber of Commerce:
2) A shopping mall, proposed
by the 1958-59 borough ma n a ­ger;
3) The present Historical
program.
All of these require the ex­penditure
of funds on the part
of the merchants, it was point­ed
out. “Yet their true needs
which t ru ly concerns the civic
groups and local government
which advocates the above pro­jects,
go completely . unheed­ed
year in arid y e a r ’ out. To
list a few: more and better
parking lots, public rest rooms,
better s tre e t lighting in tile
downtown a re a s .” These, the
merchants feel, should have
priority over Historical r e ­storation.
LIST QUESTIONS
. The merchants were asked
four questions, which were
answered as follows:
Are you in favor of the Re ­storation
Project?
Seventeen answered yes, one
did not disagree, one said no,
and two had no comment. Of
the twelve merchants th a t
rent the ir stores, nine of them
were a g a in s t any rise in their
rents. Of th e ten merchants
th a t owned their properties,
one had no comment, one felt
th a t his building had historical
value as it now stands, three
felt th a t it would cost too
much to change the ir store and
could not consider a change
a t this time, and one would go
along with the project if it
could be shown th a t it would
be a step to g re a te r produc­tivity.
In general all of the
merchants th o u g h t it would
make a nice impression on -the
public. One me rchant was con­cerned
th a t his assessment
might he raised, two others
felt th a t the entire program
could be completed with the
use of local ta le n t only.
Do you feel th a t if this pro­ject
were executed the total
sales would (a ) increase,
(b) decrease, (c) remain -the
same?
