THE OLDEST BUSINESS INSTITUTION IN LAKE WORTH, ESTABLISHED 1912 The Lake Worth Bera namely, spiritual existence. —Mary Baker Eddy VOL. XLIX (Forty-ninth Year) No. 22 LAKE WORTH, FLORIDA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 5, 1961 TWELVE PAGES TODAY — PRICE FIVE CENTS Voters of Lantana Nearing Deadline On New Town Hall LANTANA — On Tuesday, Jan. 10, the citizens of Lantana will go to the polls to vote for or against two pro- posed ordinances, one of which would prohibit the Town Council from adding to the present Town Hall building and the other would require the Council to construct a new Town Hall on Greynold’s Circle in 1961, thereby forcing the town to appropriate money for this improvement in the 1961 budget. Post Filled wo Chamber Director Post To Locher O. G. Locher, president of the Commerce National Bank, auto- matically succeeds the late Karl J. Easton Sr. as a member of the Board of Directors of the Lake Worth Chamber of Commerce. During the last election for di- rectors, Locher received the highest of votes after the first six candidates were duly elected. Locher will fill the unexpired term of Mr. Easton, which will run until Oct. 31, 1962. Next business meeting of the directors will be held at 8 p.m. Monday, Jan. 9, at the Chamber office, Area Kiwanis Hears Speech _ Alcoholism ers of the See Club of ‘\ es Ma Re Wordt hetitd’ an inspir- ing story of rehabilitation by a member’ of Alcoholics Anonymous at their Tuesday night meeting at the Seminole Inn. The speaker told of his utter degradation as an alcoholic. He re- lated how he had returned from a long period of drunkeag wandering to, be met by his wife and child at the door. They handed him his suit- case and said they could take no oc: of his drinking and its sub- sequent hurt and humiliation. He then decided to consult a min- ister who, in turn, advised him to seek the help of a relatively new organization — Alcoholics Anony- mous. The first meeting he attended was in a shelterhouse in a. public park. There he was greeted as a brother and, after much _ soul- searching and with strength gained from others, he started on the long road back to responsibility. “That was 18 years ago, and I owe AA a debt that I can never repay,” the speaker said. The AA program is simply living a Chris- tian life seven days a week, he concluded. President Jim Prescott reminded members that the next meeting, Monday, Jan. 9, would be an in- stallation dinner and dance at the Manalapan Club on Hypoluxo Is- land. ————_*¥" were The two ordinances presented last year to the town accompanied by petitions containing the names of 461 quali- fied electors. The town charter requires a special election within 90 days if 40 per cent of the qualified elec- tors voting in the last preceding election sign the petition. Town Clerk Richard Uhl certified that 41 per cent had signed the peti- tion. The town has been in a turmoil over the Town Hall question since the last election ten months ago. At that time it had been sug- gested that the town let the people decide on which of two sites they would prefer to have the proposed new Town Hall built, the site east of the Police and Fire Department buildings and directly across Iris Street from the present Town Halli or on Greynold’s Circle, on which the Lions Clubhouse now stands, at the south end of town. The voters favored Greynold’s Circle. At one time it was thought that Hypoluxo might join Lantana and the circle was set aside for public buildings. However, Hypoluxo did not want to join Lantana and opponents of location say that since southern expansion is impossible, the circle is away from the center of town. From the beginning, Mayor L. Irving Ashauer has favored the present site because it is more centrally located. The present Po- lice and Fine Department are al- -ready there, he said, and will be adequate for the» town for some time to come. This, he said, would mean a big savings in the building costs of the new building. There has been a concerted ef- fort on the part of certain indi- viduals to force the town to build a new Town Hall on the ‘circle in 1961. Those backing the proposed Greynold’s Circle site, including Councilmen Schier and Brown, ar- gue that the people have already voted in favor of the location by a 2 to 1 vote. They claim that the only question is when the new town hall will be built. At meetings last fall, these coun- cilmen charged the administration with pushing through the addition to the present building in the hope of blocking new building plans in the forseeable future. The opposition group noted that in December 1959 the Town Plan- ning Commission, in answer to a request by the Town Council, stu- died available town-owned proper- ty and recommended the Greynold’s Circle site for a new town hall, with four out of the five members favoring the location. Citizens of the town have re- ceived circulars through the mail advising them to vote for this im- (Continued on Page Six) 9 elie le i ils A EE ec Night School Registration Is Announced Counseling and early registra- tion for the evening classes at Palm Beach Junior College will begin on Jan. 9 and continue through Jan. 27, according to Dr. Paul W.

K St., wrote Miss Tucker requesting a copy of it, which she sent to him with her compliments. Sophie Tucker, like Miss Kate Smith, is fondly remem- bered by ‘“oldtimers” now living in Lake Worth, and so Doyle, feeling that some of these folks missed the TV presentation, thought it might be a good idea to reprint it in “our local paper.” 4- Photo by Orvis Katy Coffey Talent Show Line-Up Set A large group of talented local young people will participate in the Katy Coffey Talent Show which will be held tonight at 8 in the Civic Auditorium under the aus- pices of the City Recreation De- partment.

The vote in favor of the amendment was four to one, with Commissioner George Hossler in opposition. Mayor Carl Leverenz said he did not believe the city Commission Notes Death Of Publisher The Lake Worth City Com- mission Tuesday night passed a resolution honoring the memory of Karl J. Easton Sr., late pub- lisher of The Lake Worth Her- ald. The resolution is as follows: TO THE MEMORY OF KARL J. EASTON SR. WHEREAS, Karl J. Easton Sr., an outstanding citizen, civic worker and businessman and a conscientious and_ energetic member of the printing profes- sion, was called forever from among us on the 25th day of December, 1960, and WHEREAS, Karl J. Easton Sr. did render outstanding serv- ice to the city of Lake Worth and its imhabitants, and WHEREAS, Karl, as he was affectionately known, was held in the highest esteem by all who knew him and was loved by his neighbors “as a ffiendly, gra- cious and self-sacrificing per- son, and WHEREAS, the passing of this outstanding man is a loss deeply felt by the people of this community; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the commission of the city of Lake Worth, Flor- ida: THAT there be inscribed in the records of this body, there to forever remain, this memorial to the memory of Karl J. Easton Sr., and THAT these presents bear to- ken to the final respects of a grateful community for the long and untiring efforts of this able and conscientious civic worker whose record of accomplish- ments for his fellowmen will stand as an unforgettable monu- ment in the minds of his con- temporaries and succeeding gen- erations. BE IT FURTHER RE- SOLVED that a copy of this resolution be transmitted forth- with to his widow, Helen B. Easton, and family. Rotarians See Golfing Film Larry Myers, introduced by P.

Commissioner Lewis Bowles ar- gued that the public should have a right to install a connection of its own preference. Charles Whitman, a local plumb- © ing contrmactor said that tile is not less expensive in the long run. He said it is subject to infiltration of rocts, and cracking, making up- keep more expensive. Hossler said that the city has been demanding the use of cast iron pipe for some time and that he sees no reason for a change. Elmer Giles, who said he had been a general pumbing contractor for 42 years locally, said that terra cotta (clay) pipes are more sub- ject to breakage than cast iron. “Tt is not what we need in the sandy soil around here,” he said. After the vote was taken, Whit- man said, “You (the commission- ers) have not worked for the good of the city.” It was pointed out that the com- mission did not consult with the members of the plumbing board on the proposed change. The plumbers delegation said there were many reasons for their opposition to clay pipe. It was pointed out that the side wall of the 4-inch lines is much thinner than those used on the larger city lines. In addition, the cost difference is not great enough, when consider- ing the cost of upkeep. It was pointed out that developers might use clay pipe to save construction costs, then later, the homeowners would have to pay the cost of re- installing pipe if there was a break. The plumbers said it is easier for amateur plumbers to attach new outlets to clay pipes, thereby de- priving the city of sewer tax in- come, and creating a possibly dan- gerous condition. The plumbers said that at the next meeting they intend to rally about 300 plumbers to oppose pass- age of the amendment on second reading. Later, Bowles asked Ted Sand- ers, a representative of Russell and Axon, consulting engineers, for an opinion. In “cff the cuff” remarks, Sanders said that clay pipe has been used, “with good results,” in many other south Florida’ com- munities. In other business, the city com- mission received four proposed plans for correcting the traffic situation at the intersection of SR 802, A St., Lake and Lucerne Aves. The four’ plans, two” of which would allow left turns onto A St. are aimed. at straightening out, to varying degrees, the access from SR 802 to Lake Ave. The commission voted to table the plans until the next meeting in order to study the proposals.
