On Petition
A petition to seek secession
from the Manheim Central
School Board was discussed at a
special public meeting of the
Southern Rapho Township resi-
dents Tuesday evening in the
Mount Joy High School.
Linn Reist, attorney for the
group, was in charge of the
meeting. Mr. Reist stressed that
they should all strive for har-
mony with the Manheim Cen-
tral Board. He also feels that
the welfare of the students is
the greatest point to remember.
Since students in the
Southern Rapho Township dis-
trict must travel fifteen miles
on a school bus, board the bus
before 6:45 a. m. and must walk
seven tenth of a mile before
boarding the bus, a hardship is
inflicted upon the students. This
creates a school day longer than
the workingman’s day.

is at stake.

Condition Of
Florin Women
Considered Fair
Hospital authorities reported
the condition of two women,
hospitalized Wednesday night
following an accident, as fair.
At press time, x-rays had not
been diagnosed for either wo-
man. The accident was a result
of a two-car collision at 10:25
p. m. at the intersection of
Route 230 and Angle Street in
Florin.
Admitted to the Lancaster
General Hospital were Mrs.
Helen W. Stetler, thirty, who
suffered a possible fractured
back, scalp lacerations and mul-
tiple abrasions of the lower ex-
tremities, and Mrs. James
Klinedist, 27, who was knock-
ed unconscious in the crash but
suffered no apparent injuries.
Also injured in the accident
was Bill N. Gager, 21, of Main
St., Florin. He was treated at
the office of Dr. David E. Sch-
losser, Mt. Joy, for lacerations
of the nose and left eyelid and
bruises of the left knee and the
right leg.
State police said Gager's 1941
sedan was headed west on Route
230 when the 1950 sedan opera-
ted by Mrs. Stetler pulled out
of Angle Street while proceed-
ing south.
Police said witnesses told
them Mrs. Stetler had halted at
the stop sign at Main Street
(Route 230) before pulling out
onto the highway. According to
State Policeman Descavage, the
woman's view was partially
blocked by a parked truck and
a number of trees.
Gager told police he swerved
to avoid the other car but that
the left front of the Stetler auto
clipped his right side. Mrs. Stet-
ler was thrown from the car by
the impact and Mrs. Klinedinst,
a passenger in the vehicle, was
knocked unconscious.
The Mount Joy and Elizabeth-
town ambulances conveyed the
women to the hospital.
Police said Gager’s car was a
total loss at $250, and estimated
damage to the Stetler auto at
$750. State Policeman Stanley
Springer assisted in the investi-
gation.
