4 Playgrounds Open
With 236 Registered
The Lititz Recreation Cen­ter
Summer Playground pro­gram
got off to a fine start
Monday with a registration of
236, and over 200 in swim­ming
classes.
Registration for the play­ground
areas are as follows:
Lititz Springs Park, 133;
Brunnerville, 12; Rothsville,
49; Lions Tot Lot, 42.
Playground is being held
at Brunnerville this year in
the Brunnerville Fire Hall
Monday through Friday from
9 to 12 noon. Harold Zim­merman
is playground in­structor.
Children were entertained
this week with a popsicle
treat, and Friday will be Pic­nic
Day at which time punch
will be served to all partici­pants.
Some attractions of
next week’s playground will
be a penny hike, a treat day,
dress crazy day, and a Pet
Fair on Friday.
The winners of all special
events will be listed in next
week’s paper.
Softball
A softball league for ages
9 and over is to be formed
in conjunction with the play­ground
program. Anyone
wishing to participate in this
program should call the Cen­ter
or contact one of the
playground supervisers im­mediately.
Tennis
Registration for tennis class­es
has been slow to date,
and it is wished that anyone
wishing to play tennis will
contact Eli Mastromatteo at
the Lititz Springs Park as
soon as possible. Classes will
be held Monday and Friday
mornings from 9:30 to 10;30
a.m. and Wednesday from 1
to 2 p.m. at the high school
tennis courts.
Swimming
Swimming classes got un­derway
Tuesday with an en­rollment
otf about 200. This
year we are trying a new
method of instruction — it is
the station-to-station method
where each child is taught a
certain skill by one instructor
and then is moved on to
another skill. Advanced be­ginners,
Intermediates, and
Swimmers report at 9 a.m.
each day. Beginners’ classes
will start at 9:30, 10 and 10:30
a.m. If anyone is in doubt as
to when their children should
report to class, they1 can
'check the bulletin board at
the Lititz Springs Pool where
a daily schedule is posted.
Stwimming classes end at 11
a.m. at which time children
may return to their play­ground
area. (Supervisors are
in the areas until 12 noon.
The Recreation Center and j
officials would like to express
thanks to all the families tha
are participating in the play­ground
program, and for the
purchase of Recreation Cen­ter
memberships. We would
also like to thank the follow­ing
people for their contribu­tions:
Wagaman Brothers for
contributing paper; Glassmy-ers’,
paper bags; Mrs. Pauline
Ritz and ¡Mrs. Mildred De-
Wald for games; Kathy and
Beth Krayibill, ¡Sally and Ricky
LaVigne, Mike ¡Searles, and
David Zug for the donation
they gave after holding a
neighborhood fair.
Project 70
Funds OK’d
For Borough
Lititz Borough’s requests
for Project 70 funds for
three projects has been ap­proved
by the state, it was
announced by Governor Scran­ton’s
office yesterday.
The requests total 146
acres on three separate sites
in the borough..
Site One comprises four
acres of farmland in the Ham-ilton-
Hevener property west of
Woodcrest Avenue. The pro­posed
usage is for conserva­tion
and recreational purpos­es.
The site will serve as a
stormwater runoff retention
basin with an earthen im­pounding
wall to be construct­ed
around sink holes in the
area to regulate the drain­age
flow and prevent surface
contamination. The cost would
be $4,000.
'Site Two consists of 22
acres along the Lititz Springs
Creek directly through the
borough. Purchase of the land
will preclude industrial use
i of the area and possible con­tamination
of the creek. It is

Big Crowd Attends
Park Ceiebratton
Several thousand people at­tended
the postponed Fourth
of July celebration in Lititz
Springs Park last Saturday,
despite rain earlier in the day
and threats of rain.
Chief of Police George C.
Hicks reported that there were
no traffic jams caused by the
detour. Apparently many peo­ple
who usually drive to the
park walked in order to avoid
a possible jam. This was evi­denced
by plenty of parking
places on South Broad.
Miss Terry Kegel was
crowned Queen of the Candles
by last year’s Queen, Mrs.
Linnea Minnich Hershey, and
lighted the first candle. The
Queen in turn lit the candles
of her attendants, and they
passed on the light to torch
bearers and to Boy Scouts
who then ignited the thou­sands
of tapers in the Springs
creek.

Gloria was nominated for

comes the summertime and a job with the Borough

Teenagers Hold Nature
Course For Children
A unique project of youth­ful
teenagers is being, con­ducted
in the Lititz area by
HACTA, (Humans Against
Cruelty to Animals), at the
home of Ron Havener, four­teen,
who is president of the
group. He is the son of Mr.
and Mrs. John Hevener, Jr.,
Lititz R2.
The young people are en­deavoring
to instill a love of
nature and instruction in the
care of small animals in a
weekly Nature Course in
which children from four to
ten years of age are enrolled.
They meet once a week at the
Hevener’s home, and their
projects include guinea pigs,
tadpoles, turtles, cats and
dogs. They are taught how to
take care of these animals,
and the smaller children also
cut out pictures of animals
and paste them on large plac­ards.
Three of the children par­ticipating
are “Fresh Air”
children: Adrianne Gladden,
seven, of New York, Chanie
Carlton, thirteen, of Balti­more,
who are both staying
with Mr. and Mrs. Paul R.
Houchin. 404 Woodcrest Ave.,
and Jennie Laino, eleven, of
New York, who is staying
with the Heveners. The lat­ter
two are helping the in­structors.
In addition to Ron, the in­structors
are Shirley Houchin,
thirteen, and Sandra Hevener,
twelve, his sister.
The youngsters enrolled in­clude
David Weachter, four;
Patricia Weachter, nine; Don­na
Weachter, seven; David
Toews, six; Nancy Toews, five,
Patty Toews, seven; Duane
Hevener, seven, and Bruce
Hamilton, ten, in addition to
the Fresh Air children.

Persian kitten which Sandy
found abandoned and sick,
nearly, at the point of death.
It had lost most of its hair.
