Sing-Out Lancaster To
Appear Here Saturday
Boro Building
Permits Total
$7050 In Sept.
Sing-Out Lancaster, a choral
group, will perform on the
stagp in, the auditoiium at War­wick
High School this Satur­day,
October 21 at 8 p.m. They
are appearing under the spon­sorship
of the -Lititz JayUces.
The chorus is composed of
150 voices and is accompanied
by a band ol 12 instrumental­ists.
Although the aggregation
has been functioning together
for one year it has become
well-known in the southeastern
part of the state. Several suc­cessful
concerts have also been
performed at Long Park, Lan­caster,
to capacily crowds.
Their repertoire contains
iongs which are expressions of
Jhe purpose of the group and
are written to the music cur­rently
popular at the present
time. Members of the organiza­tion
have contributed several
original tunes.
Sing-Out Lancaster's main
purpose is to make known
throughout the community that
young men and women of high
school and college age are
basically good citizens and that
they are willing to stand up
for things that are right, and
that these young people who
wish to live exemplary lives
are in the majority, the pub­licity
given to those who be­have
otherwise notwithtsand-ing.
This group, it is empha­sized,
is not a religious nor po­litical
organization!. Its mem­bers
are of all creeds and races.
The lively p e r f o rma n c e
which will Ibe presented at War­wick
High School is comprised
of almost two hours of song
and music beginning with these
fast paced songs: “Sing-Out
Express” and “iShowboat” and
continues with the rollicking
tunes such -as “Design For Ded­ication”
and “Up With Peo­ple.”
The climax is achieved
with two favorites, “Freedom
Isn’t Free” and “Which Way
America.”
These renditions by the chor­us,
interspersed with solo-s and
instrumental numbers, will in­sure
the audience of an eve­ning
of musical entertainment
and pleasure.

PTA Meets Tonight
The Lititz Elementary PTA
Association, will meet in the
school cafeteria tonight at 8
p.m.
Candidates seeking positions
on the School Board in the No­vember
elections have been in­vited
to the meeting to express
their views and qualifications.
Dr. Curvin . C. Smith, district
superintendent of the Warwick
Union Schools, will be intro­duced
and speak briefly.
Elementary teachers will also
be introduced. Car l 'Snavely,
PTA president will conduct the
business meeting.
New memberships will be ac­cepted
at the meeting.
grade Children have two 30
minute periods.
In addition to our regular
physical education classes we
.have an Adapted Physical Ed­ucation
program for those chil­dren
who are physically un­derdeveloped
and/or physical­ly
handicapped. This includes
children with posture prob­lems,
muscular deficiencies,
flat feet, or a child who has to
be excused either temporarily
or permanently from, his regu­lar
physical education class for
some reason. These children
are given one extra class a
week, during which lime they
are given activities modified
and adapted to their particular
needs and abilities.
In order to determine the
children who would benefit
from the Adapted Program all
the children in 'the -elementary
Schools are screened by the
person in charge of the pro­gram.
The school physician is
then called upon to rc-screen
the children- who were picked
during the first screening. If
in the opinion of the physician
a certain child will not benefit
from the adapted program, that
child simply is not recommend­ed
for the class.
A form 'letter is always sent
home to the parents, explain­ing
the program and asking
their permission to have their
child included in the adapted
program. If the form is re­turned
not signed, the child
will not take an active part in
this -program. If the form is
signed and returned, tbe child
then takes advantage of this
program.
The only regulation as to
uniform in the elementary phy­sical
education program is the
wearing of sneakers by the
children. This type foot wear
is considered a safety factor in
regards to slipping. Girls are
allowed to wear either shorts
or slacks if they wish to do so.
Physical Education has the
same goal as other subject ar­eas,
that is, the development
of a citizen who can effectively
take his place in our society.
Our -objectives are as follows;
(1) To develop physical fit­ness;
(2) To develop useful
physical skills (running, jump-continued
