Warwick Residents Have
Opportunity To Air Views
By this time, Warwick residents have had an oppor-1
tunity to read the new zoning ordinance in its entirety. How-1
ever, there are some parts of major importance which may
have been overlooked — parts that guarantee a comfort­able
existence for residents in all areas.
Certain uses which are barred
in all areas include dead animal
or other rendering plants, pig­geries
for the feeding of gar­bage,
junk yards, auto grave­yards,
automobile racing tracks
and drag strips, or any other
dangerous noxious or injurious
yupation, trade or process.
By and large, the ordinance
as a whole has been planned for
the protection of all residents
whether they are located in Rl,
R2, R3, Industrial or Commer­cial
areas.
Under nonconformity, all land
uses existing at the time of pas
sage may be continued with cer­tain
restrictions. In the case of
an extension, it would be limit­ed
to an area equal to 50% of
the existing use. No noncon­forming
use may be reestablish­ed
after being discontinued for
twelve months. No nonconform­ing
use may be changed to an­other
nonconforming use which
is more detrimental to the dis­trict
than the current use. If a
nonconforming use i$ destroyed
or damaged, it may be replaced
if started within six .months and
other conditions of the zoning
ordinance are met. Any noncon­forming
signs, bill boards, junk­yards
or uses of open land shall
not be reopened if discontinued
90 days or 60% or more de­stroyed.
Residents will have an op­portunity
to air their views on
the ordinance at a meeting be­ing
held this evening at 8 p.m.
at the Brunnerville Elementary
School, and at another to be
held tomorrow evening at the
same time, at Kissel Hill Ele­mentary
School. At stated be­fore,
citizens are invited to ei­ther
or both of these meetings.
However, in order to equalize
attendance, it is suggested that
the residents of the Warwick
Voting District attend the iirun-

Park Trustees
Announce
Improvements
Lititz Park trustees announced
recently a number of improve­ments
they will authorize this
year.
Since donations have been suf­ficient
to pay for a proposed
lighting system, trustees said
they will divert their own'funds
to other park projects. Previous­ly,
the new lights were to be paid
from regular trustee funds.
As. a result of the donations,
however, trustees said they will
proceed with construction of an
illuminated fountain, cleaning of
the main basin at the Broad
Street entrance, construction of
a macadam walk in the west end
of the park, painting of play­ground
equipment .and purchase
of ‘Right Dress’, for the play
area, a special sod that suppos­edly
eases falls.

Warwick School
Evaluation
Slated April 1
Warwick High School will be
evaluated the week of April 1
by a team of twenty educators
from all parts of Pennsylvania,
it has been announced by H. W.
Swisher, High School Principal.
Chairing the visiting committee
will be Dr. Robert McNamara
from Pittsburgh.
The primary purpose of an
evaluation of this type is to de­termine
how well a school is
meeting standards set up by the
Middle. States Association of
Colleges and Secondary Schools.
Areas that will be examined are
the school’s philosophy, pro­gram
of studies, student activi­ties,
guidance services, the li­brary,
the school s t a f f , and
school and community rela­tions.
Accredited schools such
as Warwick h a v e met these
standards in the past.
Lititz High School was one of
the .first schools in Lancaster
County to be accredited, this be­ing
in 1928. Evaluation teams
visit a school approximately ev­ery
ten years. The last one was
in 1958. .........................

Borough Council at a meeting
Tuesday night announced that
the state has approved a traffic
light at East Main and Locust
Streets.
The borough had for ma n y
years been unsuccessful in ob
taining from the state a light at
that intersection. But. in the
past two months, support for
the light had come from the
borough, police, industry, re­tailers
and residents.
It was made clear to the state
that a light would not be war­ranted
by a traffic count, but
would be due to the hazardous
nature of the intersection. The
state finally agreed.
Borough Ma n a g e r George
Steedle said state officials would
be here April 4 to study the in­tersection
to determine the tim­ing
on the light.
Council awarded a contract of
$11,038.50 to George M. Schantl-ing
of Wrightsville for street
and lane resurfacing.
Streets to be resurfaced are
North and South Cedar, West
Center, North Locust, East Mar­ion,
Plum and Walnut.
Lanes to be resurfaced are
Light, Maple, North and Rasp­berry.
Co-managers and a refresh­ment
manager were hired for
the community swimming pool
for the summer season. Co-man­agers
will be Joseph Doster and
Nancy Bredthauer. Mrs. Reba
Miller will be refreshment man­ager.
Hired for the works depart­ment
for the summer were La­mar
Sipe, for six weeks, and Pat
Maharg, for 10 weeks.
Council received a petition
from Abe Hershey, 127 E. Main
St., co-signed by Mrs. Noah
Trimmer, 131 E. Main St., re­questing
that an alley between
their two properties be taken
over by the borough. The alley
which is 16 feet wide and 210
feet long, apparently is not
owned by anyone. Council said
it will study the situation and
report at the April 30 meeting.
It was reported that the li­quid
fuels tax allocation to the
borough for 1968 will be $20,-
940.61 or $4,414.32 from the
county and $16,526.29 from the
state, and that the police lockup
has been inspected by the prop­er
authorities and proved satis­factory.

Easter Seal
Returns Are
Lagging
The Easter Seal Society of
Lancaster County reported Mon­day
that contributions the first
15 cays of the 1968 Easter Seal
Campaign had reached $33,000.
The total is over one-half
the amount the Society hopes to
raise by April 14, Easter Sun­day.
Campaign Co-Chairman Law­rence
A. Lehmann emphasized
that all money in the fund drive
comes from voluntary mail con­tributions
of local citizens and
goes to support a local agency.
“Last year more than 1,200
County residents benefited from
the services of the Easter Seal
Society," Lehmann said, “ and
we urge everyone to continue
their support of Lancaster Coun­ty’s
handicapped children and
adults.”
Lehmann called on residents
who have received their Easter
Seal envelopes to return them to
the Society, 630 Janet Avenue,
Lancaster. So far, only slightly
more than 11,104 of the 85,000
envelopes mailed to area resi­dents
have been returned with
contributions, he said.
