For Building;
Possibilities of building a
new church are being investi­gated
by the Lititz Methodist
Church, it was learned this
week. The present church is
a Mission Church sponsorted
by the Ross Street Methodist
Church in Lancaster, and the
Rev. Warren C. Reidel is pas­to
r of both churches.
The local congregation has
worshipped a t the Recreation
Center since it was organized
a year ago, but members
would like to have th e ir own
building, Rev. Reidel said.
About 80 people have attend­ed
the (Mission church.
Last Sunday the men of the
church met a t the home of
Ray Shaub, Lititz and went as
a group to look a t prospective
land sites for a church build­ing.
It is understood th a t a
suburban or ru ra l area is pre­ferred.
They also are looking
into costs and examining floor
plans and construction of oth­er
area churches.
The project is in early pre­liminary
stages of investiga­tion,
it was said. However, a
congregational meeting will be
held October 16 for furthe r
discussions, costs proposals
and other ma tte rs in connec­tion
with the proposals.
All persons interested are
asked to contact the Rev. Mr.
Reidel or Shaub.
It is for this service, for
those who must be hospitaliz­ed
longer than th e ir ability to
pay, the United Campaign
funds are used.
One hundred and nineteen
patients from the Warwick
Union Area received care from
the staffs of one of the five
health agencies, requiring 781
visits with th patient. Over
5 00 visis were necessary to
meet the needs of 88 families
wih real problems. During the
last year, 775 young people
were active in the youth agen­cies,
requiring 2 72 adult vol­unteers
who served as commit­tee
and advisors.

A concerted, cooperative eff­ort
to plan the restoration of
the business district of Lititz,
rathe r than to do it on a “pie­ce-
meal” or “one-at-a-time”
basis was urged by Dr. Milton
S. Osborne, of The Pennsyl­vania
State University A r c h i­tectural
Dept., who addressed
a group of 50 or 60 civic lead­ers
Tuesday night in the Re­creation
Center.
This was Dr. Osborne's sec­ond
visit to Lititz in a project
proposed by local civic leaders
to revitalize and unify the
first block of Main stree t to
blend in with the adjoining
portion of town which has
been designated by the Plann­ing
Commission as an Histori­cal
District. This distric t does
not include the first block of
Main street, but only the ori­ginal
Moravian community.

Trick-Treat
Nights Are
Oct. 29 & 30
This year Halloween “Trick
or T re a t” nights in Lititz will
be held October 29 and 30
only, it was announced by
Mayor Arthur S. Griswold.
These dates include the
evening before and the even­ing
of the Lititz Lions Club
annual Halloween parade. It
has been reported to police
th a t some of the “Bellschnick-lers”
have been operating too
early^ in the season and too
frequently. By naming Monday
and Tuesday as “Trick or
Treat" nights, the “Goblins”
will have plenty of time In
which to make the ir visits and
our residents will not bi> t a r ,
assed weeks before the Hal­loween
Season arrives.
Chief of Police Hicks would
like to remind everyone th a t
during the past two years the
Lititz Police Department did
not receive one complaint of
serious vandalisim and it has
not been necessary for addi­tional
police patrols, as it has
been in some communities."
This proves th a t good fun can
still be had without the wan­ton
destruction of property,"
Chief Hicks said. “Our youths
can be proud of this record
and we hope it will be pre­served
again this year."

H. S. Pupils
Get Surprise
Half Holiday
Students at 'the Warwick
Union High School got. an
unexpected half-holiday Tues­day
because of a power short­age
caused when a bolt of
lightning struck the cfble
running into the school during
an early morning flash storm.
Supervising Principal G.
Marlin Spaid said th a t there
was absolutely no power in
the huge building a t all — no
lights, no electricity for cook­ing
or other uses, no heat, al­though
it fortunately was not
needed in Tuesday’s warm
temperatures.
The pupils were sent home
a t noon because the re whs no
electricity to cook th e ir lunch.
Wednesday they were to bring
the ir own lunches, and school
was to go on as usual, even
though th e trouble was not
expected to be corrected by
th a t time. Spaid said the
power company had to sent to
Hazleton for a new cable to
repair th e damaged one.
Only one telephone was In
operation during th e day —-
and th a t one manually. The
th re e tru n k lines which nor­mally
service the school were
transfe rred to th e elementary
schools in th e district.
Apparently th e lightning
bolt selected only th e high
school as its target. There was
no damage' or power shortage
a t th e two nearby churches,
o r a t LambertHudnut or other
adjacent installations.

Dr. Osborne showed slides
of Hollidaysburg, a western
Pennsylvania town which ob­viously
had been quite run
down and the wonders which
had been worked in only a few
months time. In renovating,
practically no stru c tu ra l chan­ges
were made, and the tra n s­formation
was wrought by
means of shutters, paint, iron
grill work, inullioned windows
and flower boxes. E ntire
groups of buildings were uni­fied
to avoid a spotty effect.
He also showed sketches of
planned changes a t Gettysburg,
where merchants are attempt­ing
to create shopping in te r­est
among the tourists.
Dr. Osborne explained th a t
when preliminary studies are
made, th e first step is to
photograph buildings, prefer­ably
groups of buildings, and
from these photos he prepares
sketches in color of proposed'
renovations. In response to a
question, he said th a t tya
charge is $25 per building, so
that it would cost an estimat­ed
$750 to prepare sketebe#
of all the buildings in the first
block of East Main Street.
