Capt. Robt. Heilig
Holds Important
Position In Wash.
While in Washington, D. C., on
Friday, Postmasier Charles Bennett
and the editor called on Captain
Robert B. Heilig, son of Mrs. Paul-
ine Heilig and the late Dr. W. R.
Heilig, of town. The Heiligs resided
here all their lives. One of our lo-
cal morticians Mr, James Heilig, is
a brother to Capt. Heilig.
Captain Heilig is Logistics Plan-
ning Officer of the Bureau of Ord-
nance, U. S. Navy, with offices in
the Naval building there. His duties
are to handle the supply of am-
munition and guns to ships and air-
craft of the United States Navy
at home and abroad.
During a very interesting con=-
versation Capt. Heilig informed us
of a rare coincidence, His brother
Ned Heilig, also in the service,
with his family, was sent to Ger-
many some time ago. After becom-
ing acquainted with natives there
he learned that he was in the very
midst of the community in which
his great grand parents, the late
Mr. and Mrs. Alois Bube were
reared prior to their coming to
America. Today he frequently con-
verses with these distant relatives.
It will be remembered that the
Bubes conducted the Central House
and brewery here for
This well known hostelry is
conducted hy their son-in-law,
Henry Engle.
“Bob” Heilig, as we all best knew
him, asked to remembered to
his many friends, relatives and
associates here.

Oldest House In Town?
Our readers will remember that
several weeks ago we asked a 64
question and you would be surpris-
ed at the many, many verbal and
written replies we received. But
from the information gathered it is
difficult to say which is actually the
oldest house in town.
Two of the one and a half story
buildings on the North side of Man-
heim street, next to the Sico Oil
Company’s storage plant have been
mentioned but none of the inform-
ants could quote dates.
The one and a-half story frame
building at the northwest ‘corner of ,
Lumber and David street, opposite
Earl Kaylor's barber shop, was
mentioned but no dates.
The old La Pierre House build-
ing, northwest corner Main and
Manheim streets was another men-
tioned and here we have the exact
| date of construction. A marble
block in the front of the brick
building bears this inscription:
“Built-by Philip Royer and Mary
Will in 1849,” making it 102 years
old.

New Traffic Laws

New traffic lays for
hallways is one of the
which the Student Council here is
serving the interests of the student
community this year.
A traffic problem was created by
the school’s congested hallways.
The Council suggested a one-way
direction on the two stairways and
thereby eased the crowding.
Another accomplishment of the
Council concerns detention. Form-
erly the detention hall was

Charles L. Fish Is
Elected Burgess by
Borough Council
Charles L. Fish, 240 S. Market St.,
was unanimously elected chief bur-
community during a
meeting of Borough Council on
Monday evening.
Fish, who fills the vacancy caus=
ed by the resignation of Elmer Zer-
phy last month, is confined to his
home suffering an attack of grippe.
He was sworn into office at his
home by Justice of the Peace James
Hockenberry, following Monday
night's meeting.
Mr. Fish took over his new duties
at 10:15 pm. Monday. This is his
first experience in holding a public
office. About two years ago, he was
an unsuccessful candidate for a di=-
rectorship on the local School
Board. He has resided in the com
munity for about five years.
Attending Monday night's sed
sion was a committee from the lo=
cal fire company, Thomas Brown,
Ray Myers and Rob’t Kunkle which
last month requested an addition
to the fire hall to provide more
room for fire equipment. It was
made clear that the addition is not
J for the newly purchased ambulance.
Council indicated that it had
reached no decision on the matter
but it asked whether the fire com=
pany would be willing to pay $2,000
towards the proposed building pro~-
Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Wittle spent! ject estimated to cost between $3,-
500 to $4000 not including plumbing
and heating, etc.
This question is to be taken up
by the firemen at their next meet-
and a report made
to council on May 7th.
