Warwick Hires
New Band Director
Dale G. Weller, Mountville,
was named Band Director for
Warwick High School at the
school board meeting Tuesday
night.
Weller is presently assistant
band director at Elizabethtown
High School. He had a music
scholarship at Valley Forge Mil­itary

of Elizabethtown College. He
also played in the Air Force band

$68,397.06 Salary Subsidy
For Warwick School District
The Warwick School District
will receive a check in the
amount of $68,397.06 as a one­time
bonus provided by Act 96
for salary subsidy to school dis­tricts.
According to Superinten­dent
of Public Instruction David
H. Kurtzman, checks totaling
$42,113,743 have been sent to
six hundred and nineteen school
districts.
The present payment has been
based on either seven and one-half
percent of the total subsidy
paid under Act 580 of 1965 or
$300 per professional employee
of the district according to DPI
Comptroller A. E. R. Howarth.
Most districts selected and were
paid under the seven and one-half
percent alternative, he says.
The payment choice of $300 per
professional employee was us­ually
taken by large districts
with low ratios of subsidation
under Act 580.
Another 120 school districts
will receive a total of $2,735,000
when the Legislature provides a
$10 million deficiency appropria­tion
requested in the Governor’s
Budget, Dr. Kurtzman says. The
original appropriation covering
payments to school districts was
reduced from the department’s
request for 1968-69, and as a re­sult,
the current appropriation is
not sufficient to cover these pay­ments.
Mueller House Opens
For Memorial Day
The Johannes Mueller House,
137 E. Mam St., established by
the Lititz Historical Foundation
to preserve the way of life of the
early German settlers, is waiting
to entertain visitors who are in-erested
in the historical back­ground
of the local area.
The Museum will open on Me­morial
Day with scheduled hours
Tuesday thru Friday from 10:30
a.m. to 4 p.m. until Labor Day.
Recently acquired items of in­terest
will be on display. Among
the accessions to the Museum are
the following: a report card sent
to the family of Frank J. Myers
by the Beck Family School. The
report card is framed and is
most interesting in the light of
the comments as to the student’s
proficiency or lack of it in the
various subjects.
Frank J. Myers later became
a world famous microscopist and
wrote many research papers
which were published by the
American Museum of Natural
History.
The framed report card with
some of the research papers were
presented to the Historical Foun­dation
by Doctor Richmond My­ers
of Moravian College.
The Stanley Diehm family,
through Mr. and Mrs. Bruce
Corbett, 314 E. New St. Lititz,
presented two planes used in
making of molding for interior
trim. The planes are in excellent
i condition and will add much to
i the collection of woodworking
tools. These were used by Mr.
Dehm, father of Mrs. Corbett.
Also presented were a set of
home-made shoemaker’s awls.
These awls are unique and are
doubtless of local origin, since
they belonged to Mrs. Corbett’s
grandfather, William S. Diehm.
Miss Halberta (Emma) Gro-sch,
137 S. Spruce St., Lititz has
recently donated: a bobbin made
of bone dated 1815, a pie crust
cutter, two silver baby spoons—
one belonging to Miss Grosh’s
grandfather, Timothy Grosh, and
the other belonging to her grand­father
Erb—her father’s watch
key wind, an amber “eye shade”
in a leather case, used to observe
eclipes, and old pair of spectacl­es,
seven hand made ladles, a
carving set, two canes- -one of
them hand carved in Lititz, a
newspaper clipping of the assas­sination
of Abraham Lincoln, a
number of personal letters, a
wedding jacket, one blanket,
three quilts (one double) and
three samplers.
The Historical Foundation is
seeking volunteers to serve as
guides during the summer mon­ths.
Interested persons, includ­ing
teenagers, may contact a
member of the Board or the hos­tess,
Mrs. Bruce Earhart.
Recently acquired “haubes” formerly owned by Dr. Eli­zabeth
Bricker, 314 N. Broad St., and on loan to the Mueller
House by present owner, Mrs. B. John Losensky, Lititz Rl,
are admired by Mrs. Earhart, Museum hostess. The lace
collar and habue in the foreground formerly belonging to
Mrs. Samuel Cohick (Sarah Grosh) was donated by Mrs.
Abram Foltz.

Jaycee Street
Fair To Be
Held Saturday
The local Retailers and the
Lititz Jaycees are hoping for the
same type of week-end weather
that the PTA Festival enjoyed as
the two groups make final ar­rangements
for the Annual
“Street Fair” to be held this Sat­urday.
Over twenty stands will be in
operation; game, ride, food, and
business stands will line the
walkways of East Main St. The
following is a listing of sponsors
for the various stands: Explorer
Post #42, Explorer Post #154,
Recreation Center Weightlifters,
St. James Catholic Mothers, Fire
Co. Auxiliary, St. Lukes Young
Couples Class, JayneCees, Jay­cees,
Lititz Book Store, Armold’s
Jewelry, Harris’ Variety, General
Sutter Inn, Western Auto, Dick’s
TV, K&M Camper Sales, Mich­ael’s
TV and the Midget Football
League.
The Street Fair Committee has
worked many hours to prepare
for this Saturday’s “funday,” and
from all reports this year’s Fair
should more than fill Saturday
with many surprises. All sorts of
game stands will be operating
along E. Main Street as well as
food concessions, and local bus­iness
stands. One might say that
its the perfect place to be this
Saturday if your looking for
some fun and tasty chicken
while downtown shopping this
week-end.
