Local Man Owns
Two Racers
A racer owned by Paul
Gingrich, East Main Street,
won a special foursome race
Saturday night at the Lancas
ter Speedway. Mr. Gingrich
who formerly raced car num-
ber 100 for the past few sea-
sons has added another racer
to his line-up of cars. The
new racer is a 1937 Ford
Coupe with a Lincoln engine
and is being driven by Frank
Jamison from Peach Bottom.
It is known as car No. 100-A.
Since the local owner now
has two racers and the Putty
Hill Speed Shop also has two
racers, a special event was
run Saturday night among
the four racers. Jimmie
Smith, in the Gingrich-own-
ed racer No. 100 won the
specal event.
The main event of the
modified and -Sportsmen
stock car race was rained out
after twenty laps Saturday

the discussions on the vario
matters, councilmen passed
motion deciding to ask
Borough Authority and t
engineer to meet at the siti

any solutions.
Another complaint that was
discussed was the possibility
of the sewer line not having
to go through the baseball
diamond and between the
tennis courts at the borough
park.
Councilmen decided to
have the grade checked on
David Street due to excess
water remaining on the
street. Results of the survey

One new street was nam-
ed in the newly annexed
territory east of the borough.
