The three-day class trip was approved by Warwick School Board Tuesday (Dec. 21) during the board’s regular meeting. The trip will take place May 26-29, at an all inclusive cost of $145 per person. Warwick seniors have also decided to use money that has accrued from interest on the school activity accounts for connections for cable television in the high school. Some of the money will also be used to buy a marquee-type sign to list activities outside the high school building, and some will be given to the Scott Nyland Fund. Approximately $3700 will be available. Warwick Township Unveils Five Year Road Work Plan Lititz’ 1982 New Year’s babies, twins Juliane (left) and Jessica Brown, will soon be a year old. The girls were the first babies born in Lancaster County last New Year’s day. Surrounded by new Christmas toys, they pose with big brother Jason and their parents, Linda and Bill Brown, 852 Cindy Lane. Warwick School Board Approves Senior Class Trip Contracts In further business, the board awarded $4,322.33 in (Turn to Page 8) Warwick Township unveiled a five-year road and street maintenance program last week estimated to cost about $60,000 during 1983. Township supervisors “approved the plan in principle” and commended Roadmaster James Maser, who oversaw preparation of the plan. The plan will be used as a guide to road maintenance and followed as much as possible, supervisors indicated. The plan for 1983 includes a $12,139 oil and chip program for approximately two miles of township roads: Heck Road West from Owl Hill to Route 772; Heck Road East from Route 772 to the Pfautz farmhouse; Brevity Lane from Owl Hill Road to Heck Road; East Woods Drive from Kissel Hill Road to the overlay treatment for the sewer installation on East Woods Drive; and Stauffer Road from East Woods Drive to the township line. , A d d itio n a l roads recommended for surface treatment in 1983 are Short Road from Becker Road to Cedar Street and Millport Road from Owl Hill Road to the township line. Overlay Plan The plan recommends overlay surface treatment for about IV2 miles of township roads which are either deteriorating or have water runoff problems. These include Woods Drive Boro Council To OK Budget Lititz Boro Council was expected to adopt a proposed $829,220 budget for 1983 at its regular meeting Tuesday night (Dec. 28). Because of the New Year’s holiday, the Record Express went to press before the meeting. Coverage will be published in next week’s Record. from Landis Valley Road to the intersection of Kissel Hill Road and Kissel Hill Road to the township line; 1,277 feet of roadway in the LeHoy Forest development; .15 miles of Ridge Road; and 2,484 square yards of Shelly Court and North Becker Drive. Also recommended over the next three years is reconstruction of the incline at Rothsville Station Road from Pleasant View to the old railroad tracks at Binkley and Hurst. The area is rough and is almost impassable in winter, the roadmaster stated. The plan also recommends reconstruction of Pine Hill Road at the intersection of Buch Mill Road, which lies very low and is in poor condition, the roadmaster said. The Lancaster County Soil Conservation District has voiced concern about this area of roadway. The plan recommends topping for the following roads during 1984: Short Road from Becker Road to Cedar Street; East Millport Road from Owl Hill to the township line; Ballstown Road from the top of the hill to the overlay at sewer line; Meadow Valley Road from Rothsville Road to the sewer line overlay; Spur Lane from Newport Road to Old Rothsville Road; Skyview Lane from Newport Road to Newport Road; and Briar Hill Road from Skyview Lane to Rothsville Road. A combination of treatment is recommended for the following roads during 1985: Snavely Mill Road from Loop Road to the township line (a cooperative project with Elizabeth Township); Pine Hill Road from Millway Road to Clay Road; Buch Mill Road from Pine Hill Road to the township line bridge; Carpenter Road from Clay Road to the township line bridge; Erb Bridge Road from Millway Road to the township line bridge; Millway Road from Newport Road to Meadow Valley Road; Rothsville Station Townships Okay Budgets Both Elizabeth and Penn Township Supervisors met Monday evening to adopt new budgets, with Elizabeth Township holding its real estate tax at 10 mills and Penn Township again foregoing any property tax. Warwick Township Supervisors met last Thursday to adopt a 1983 budget that lowers real extate tax from five to four mills. All three townships have increased budgets for the new year. Warwick Township Warwick Township’s 1983 budget is $286,668, up $78,956 from 1982. Major allocations include: g e n e r a l g o v e rnm en t, $84,575; public safety, $202,692; highways, $243,520; miscellaneous expenses, $26,000; and other financing uses, $22,434. The supervisors retained the township’s $10 per capita tax, and also one-half of one percent real estate transfer tax and one-half of one percent earned income tax. Elizabeth Township Elizabeth township’s new budget is $174,297, up $21,644 from the 1982 budget. The largest increase is $111,822 for highways, which is in part a preparation for a four-year road program to maintain the 28 miles of road in the township. A total of $10,700 has been allocated for protection to persons and property, $4,000 of this from Federal Revenue Sharing funds. The new budget also includes $23,300 for general govern-ln This Issue ment; $11,575 for insurance; and $2,700 for Social Security, unemployment and taxes. The Federal Revenue Sharing fund budget of $18,200 includes a $7,000 carry-over from 1982, allocated for general g o v e rnm en t, $7,000; protection to persons and property, $4,000; highways, $6,000; and recreation, $1,200. (Turn to Page 8) Road from Millway Road to Pleasant View; and Clay Road from Pine Hill Road to the township line. The plan for 1986 includes: Elbow Road from Lexington Road to the sewer line installation; Hackman Road from Brunnerville Road to the township line bridge; Firestone Road from Lexington Road to Snavely Mill Road; Memorial Road from Newport Road to the township line; Lime Rock Road from Orange Street to the township line (this will require widening during 1985, according to the roadmaster) ; Longenecker Road from Green Acre Road to the sewer line installation. The 1987 recommended road plan includes: West Millport Road from Route 501 to Woodcrest Avenue; Buckwalter Road from West Millport Road to the township line; Hess Road from West Millport to West Woods Drive; West Woods Drive from Route 501 to Woodcrest Avenue; Waters Edge from Woodcrest to the township line; and Sego Sago Road from Woodcrest to Waters Edge Road. These roads are all in fair to good condition now but probably will need new top or wearing surface to strengthen and preserve them, the roadmaster said. Editorial Sports Section Social Classified Church 4 5,6,7 3 8,9 16 Business Directory 17 Warwick Ambulance Phone Number Changed New telephone numbers are now in effect for the Warwick Ambulance, due to a change in dispatch procedure. The following numbers should be used: EMERGENCY Ambulance calls—Dial 911 (any time) 1 Immediate Transport—Dial 299-5501 (any time) Scheduled Transport—Dial 626-1200 (8 a.m. thru noon, Mon., thru Fri.) Women In Politics More Gals Holding School Board Seats Than Ever Before (Editor’s Note: The following commentary was prepared by the Pennsylvania Commission for Women.) Women lost representation in the Pennsylvania Legislature in 1982 but had reached an all-time high on school boards, according to the Pennsylvania Commission for Women. While women in state legislatures nationwide increased their numbers from 12 to near 14 percent, P e n n s y lv a n ia women slipped from 4.3 to 3.9 percent, ranking the Cradle of Liberty third from last of all 50 states. At the same time women were going into the 1983 municipal elections with a base of 24 percent on school boardls. The: number of candidates who may file for the May 17 Primary, starting Feb. 15, will be unusually large in 1983. School directors’ terms were reduced from six years to four, and this is the year the last of the six-year terms and the first of the four-year terms both expire. Six of the nine members on each of the 501 school boards are to be elected, one to be chosen by lot one time only for a two-year term to even out the turnover in future election years. Statewide voters in 1983 will elect a Supreme Court justice and Superior and Commonwealth Court judges. The top court has no women. The Superior Court, which handles a significant caseload of family matters, has but one, Judge Phyllis Beck, an appointee whose term will end if she is not elected in 1983. Commonwealth Court has only Judge Genevieve Blatt, who is near retirement. In counties voters will be electing county commissioners, row officers, and some judges of Courts of Commom Pleas. Locally, boroughs, townships and c itie s e le c t councils, supervisors and commissioners and some elect mayors. In the General Assembly taking office in January there will be little change in the female representation. Senator Jeanette Reibman, (D) Northampton, the only woman ever elected to the Senate, was re-elected and remains the only one. School Boards But women have moved into nearly a quarter of all school director sea ts throughout the state. At the beginning of 1982, 1,012 females and 3,157 males were counted on the boards of the state, or 24 percent women. In 1980 the figure was 20 percent. Although the Pennsylvania Department of Education collects the names of board members, its form does not require gender identification, nor does it yield many clues in first names. It has fallen to a private association, the Pennsylvania School Boards Association, to keep records on school directors, and PSBA was the source of that data in this report. The percentage of women in other local elected office is far below that on school boards. At the end of 1982 the number of women among the 219 county commissioners had risen to 15, plus a county executive, or seven percent. There were none in 1966. Among the 4,500 supervisors of second class townships there were six women in 1966. By 1982 there were 115, up to 2.5 percent. Some analysts say the 20 percentage point lead women school directors have over women in other local offices may be the leading edge of movement into policy making positions. But others point out that the job has largely lost its attraction for men, given its devouring demands on time and the tightening squeeze between employees armed with the right to strike for more money and aging property taxpayers’ resistance to providing it. By 1977 when the legislature acted to reduce the six-year term to four, the average tenure of a school director had already dropped below the length of one term. Filing Deadline March 8 is the last date for candidates to file for the primary for municipal, judicial and party offices. The chorus urging women to file and take on a greater share of the responsibility for government has included women’s organizations, political scientists, research and educational institutions su ch as the P u b lic Leadership Education Network, as well as the Commission for Women. Courses to help women ready themselves for political campaigning have been developed under the impetus of an unpartisan effort of the Commission and have spread from the first one at Harrisburg Area Community College in 1981 to others in 1982 in Williamsport, Reading, Lancaster and Scranton. More women are needed as candidates, Helen Seager, Director of the Commission for Women, says, because “a woman’s experience is different from a man’s and that experience of 53 percent of the voting population is seriously underrepresented in areas where laws are made and cases decided. ’ ’ Seager said, “ Male legislators are not faulted for their interest and experience in sports, hunting, military affairs and as veterans. Nor should they be. But there is a valid experience as well of women, who bear the children, still make most consumer purchasing and family management decisions, who deal with child development, group dynamics and interpersonal relationships, and who also bring their particular individual experiences as do the men. ’ ’ “Local offices are more significant than ever,” Seager added. “With block grant decisions that can help or hurt being made locally, and with less money, the decisions are more critical. The buck is now stopping close to home. The decisions will be made by locally elected bodies. Whether those bodies include a , variety of perspectives will be decided by who runs for local offices in 1983, and by who wins.”
