Kidney Fund for
Lititz RD1 Man
Now over *1100
Contributions reaching $1142.11
have been made to date to the

for medical and surgical ex­penses
for both Reinhart and his

Vivian Heikkaia, owner of the B&V Outlet at 56 N.
Broad St, holds one of the fashions for the wee set, a cute
Size 1 that is included in a rack of dresses selling at three for
$10, and two for $7.
B&V Outlet Offers
Bargains in Clothes (Editor’s Note: This is the 32nd
in a series of articles to acquaint
our readers with our local
retailers. The 33rd article will
appear next week.)
The B&V Outlet at 56 N. Broad
St. is a bargain hunter’s delight.
Operating on a big-volume, fast-turnover
principle, the B & V
Outlet has men’s, women’s and
children’s clothing at wholesale
prices, possibly because its
owner, Vivian Heikkaia, buys
much of her merchandise direct
from factories to eliminate the
middle man.
She has children’s clothes—
name brands like Buster Brown,
Jeanie, and Maverick—for half
the regular price, with racks full
of back to school dresses at three
for $10, and two for $7. Buying
from the same manufacturers
who supply the larger depart­ment
stores, she carries
children’s flared jeans and
slacks, pant suits, stretch shorts
and tops and infant’s wear, all at
low prices.
Her women’s line includes
sport clothes by Maverick, Ship &
Shore, and Jantzen, all with
prices cut in half in most cases.
She sells body suits for $3.50 and
$5.50. She carries Maverick jeans
for $4.75 (up to $13 in many
stores), shorts, slacks and tops in
knits and stretch denims, and
sweaters, both bulky knit and full
fashioned cuts.
Women’s dresses, including
floor-length styles, with price
tags from $26 to $35, sell
anywhere from $5 to $10 at B & V.
These carry labels by Ship &
Shore, Westover, Carol King,
Leslie Fay, and Martha Manning.
Blouses, regularly selling for $7
and $8, are available for $3.90.
All of her children’s shoes,
Council Tables Action on
Parking Lot, Swarthmore
regularly $9 and up, sell for $3.90
a pair, and women’s shoes, in­cluding
name brands, are sold at
$3.
A full line of men’s clothing,
most of it going for half the retail
price and sometimes less, in­cluding
shirts by Van Heusen,
Bryon Britton, and Maverick.
Sport coats that retail for as
much as $70 sell for $15 at B & V,
and men’s $80-$90 suits are priced
at $22.
Some seconds are available at
the store, but most of the goods
are first line merchandise, which
Vivian acquires by “matching
her wits” against manufacturers
all over the East, or by picking up
end-of-the-season merchandise
from other stores.
A former’ school teacher and
interior decorator, Vivian got
started in her current business by
getting a “good price” on clothes
for many of her friends.
“I always knew where the good
outlets were,” she explained,
“and my friends would say, ‘If
you see such and such at a good
price, pick it up for me.’”
She decided that if people could
save this much money buying
direct from a factory, then a
store like hers would be a suc­cess.
“After all, why should people
have to pay high retail prices on
clothes, when I can get it for them
cheaper?” she said.
One of the big advantages of
the B & V Outlet is that Vivian
stocks her shelves according to
the weather, as well as the
season.
When the weather is warm, she
still has summer items—
sleeveless tops, shorts, etc.—
even though the summer season

Faced with a group of about 25
interested citizens and a long
agenda that never was completed
Tuesday night, Boro Council
made one appointment and
tabled most of the other items
that came before it, including
proposals concerning Municipal
parking lot, the extension of
Swarthmore Drive, and new
zoning for apartments.
Council President Curt Amidon
adjourned the meeting at 11 p.m.,
and scheduled another session for
Tuesday, Sept. 12 at 7:30 p.m. in
Council Chambers to finish the
month’s agenda.
Glenn D. Davidson, 6 N. Spruce
St., was appointed to Lititz
Borough Planning Commission,
replacing Wallace Hofferth for a
four year term epding June 30,
1976. (See related story).
The other appointment which
Council was scheduled to make
Tuesday, an appointment to the
Council to fill the unexpired term
of Edward G. Reese, who
resigned last month, was post­poned
until next month. Council
said it wanted more time to make
its decision.
A third appointment which was
on Council’s agenda, that of a
Civil Defense Director for the
borough, was tabled after Council
decided a Civil Defense Director
was not needed.
Council President Curt Amidon
said he was concerned about the
cost that might be involved in
setting up such a post, and said he
did not feel this job was needed in
the borough, saying that one of
the borough’s biggest
emergencies, the June 22 flood,
was “handled very well” by local
officials, with the “compliments
outweighing the criticisms” of
the job done.
Municipal Parking Lot
A proposal to allow free two-hour
parking in the Municipal
Parking Lot for a trial period of
two months, September and
October, remained unsettled
Tuesday night.
The proposal came from the
Lititz Retail Merchants
Association as an alternative
to Council’s previous proposal to
redesign the parking lot by
eliminating five of the metered
spaces and enlarging the
remaining spaces.
In a letter to Council, the
Retailers said that before the lot
is re-designed, they want to find
out whether shoppers are not
using the parking lot because it is
ill-designed or because it is
metered parking.
They requested that the
borough coyer the meters during
September and October, allowing
free parking with a two-hour
limit, and called for proper
policing to maintain the two-hour
limit. The Retailers said they
would instruct their employees
not to park in the lot (to get an
accurate indication of whether
shoppers or employees were
using the lot), and that they
would reimburse Frank Ford,
who leases the lot to the borough
for 40 percent of the gross income

By Peggy Frailey
This is the first of two articles
to introduce our readers to the
two American Field Service
exchange students who will be
living with local families for the
next year.)
Sixteen-year old Joerg
(pronounced Yerg) Homberger
from Germany, who will be
making his home in Lititz for the
next year, is a tall, lanky high
school senior with a big interest
in writing and drama.
With an excellent command of
both the German and English
languages, Joerg has already
written a number of short stories,
poems, and plays, some of which
have been published in his school
and hometown newspapers.
Joerg will be staying with Dr.
and Mrs. Charles Eshelman, 237
S. Broad St., and their son,
Charles, a junior at Warwick
High School, for the next year,
and will be a member of the
senior class at Warwick. After a
year here, he will return to his
home school in Germany, where
he will complete the 13 years
required in German schools.
Talking with this lively, poised
youth, who stands 6 feet 4 inches
tall, is not unlike talking to an
American teenager. Dressed in
jeans, an AFS sweat shirt, and
open toed dessert boots from
Germany, he lounged com­fortably
in the living room at the
Eshelman hdusery
“Youth: have the same
problems in Germany that they
have in this country,” Joerg said
— drugs, the generation gap, and
long hair, he added with a grin.
His own chestnut-colored hair is
worn nape length, a style which
brought him many questioning
comments from the old timers in
his home town.
Many of his stories and plays
deal with the problems of his
generation.
Joerg’s hometown is a small
farm village, Niederlistengen,
near Kassel in central Germany.
He lives at home with his father,
who is an engineer for a
locomotive firm, his mother, and
his five year old sister.
He attends a high school in
Kassel, where the school days
run from eight in the morning
until one in the afternoon, in­cluding
Saturdays, and involve
about five hours of homework
every day.
He has been studying English,
a required subject in German
schools, since he entered high
school, and speaks the language,
including most of the current
slang phrases, fluently. He also
studied Latin (which he didn’t
like at all), and has a strong
preference for history and for
German and literature courses.
Joerg- also r studied^ t|ae " ac­cordion
for three years, “but all I
can play are marches and
Christmas music,” he laughed.
“My teacher was an Army
man,” he explained. “At
Christmas time he taught me
Christmas music. The rest of the
year he taught me marching
songs.”
Arriving in Lititz in the midst bf
this country’s political con­ventions,
Joerg was- already
acquainted . with American
politics.
“News about the United States
makes up about 50 percent of
German newspapers,” he said.
He is also familiar with
American television shows,
which are shown in his home
country with German dubbed
onto the film. Some of the
favorite shows there are
Bonanza, High Chaparral,
Marcus Welby, and Get .Smart,
he said.
Within the first week of coming
to Lititz, Joerg had already been
to the Atlantic seashore and the
Fulton Theatre, and got his first
look at the Amish, whom he had
been briefed on back in Ger­many.
He had never heard of
Lititz before his selection as an
