Gov. Leader, Judge Davis
To Visit Kutztown Sept. 25
In Swing Through Berks

SATURDAY ANOTHER
COLLECTION DAY
BY KUTZTOWN JCC
Attention Kutztown resident*! Saturday is the third
collection day by the Kutztown Jaycees for saleable articles for their Oct. 4 White
Elephant Sale. Since the Jaycees feel that they will be
unable to cover the remainder
of town Saturday, they will
make pick-ups throughout
next week.
So if you have any items,
no matter what size, contact
any of the Jaycees if you have
not already done so. You can
help the Jaycees serve you
through your donations.
Governor George M. Leader
and Judge John Morgan Davis,
Democratic candidates for U. S.
Senate and Lieutenant Governor
respectively, will bring their
campaign to Kutztown next
Thursday, Sept. 25.
The nine - car caravan will
also be carrying Congressman
George Rhodes and local Democratic candidates in a tour of
Berks  County  communities.
The tour will begin at Democratic headquarters in Reading
sometime in the morning and
swing to the western areas of
the county and then north to
Hamburg from where it will
leave  for Kutztown.
Stops are scheduled at Robe-
sonia, Rehersburg, Bethel, Bern-
ville, Shartlesville, Hamburg
and Kutztown. About a half
hour will be spent in each community to meet and talk to the
voters.
Next Thursday's visit will be
the second Governor Leader has
made to Kutztown in just a
little over a year. It was Sept.
11, 1957 when the governor
visited Kutztown to visit the
State Teachers College and pay
his personal respects to Miss
Alliene DeChant who was then
retiring as editor of The Patriot and leaving in a short
time for a teaching-public relations Job with the United Church
of Christ in Japan.
Unlike his visit last year
which was accomplished without j
prior publicity and fanfare
Thursday's visit will be a bit
different since the governor this
year is a candidate" for U. S.
Senator.
The York County native is
40 years old and the first democratic Governor in 16 years.
Teamed with Mayor David
Lawrence of Pittsburgh, who is
the Democratic candidate for
Governor, Judge John Morgan
Davis, formerly of Reading and
now of Philadelphia, candidate
for lieutenant governor, and
Miss Genevieve Blatt of Pittsburgh, candidate for secretary
of internal affairs and the first
woman to be elected to a State

W. E. Yoder Elected
To Council; YMCA
Contract Awarded
William E. Voder of 341 Highland Avenue, was elected by
Kut/lown   Borough   Council   to
nrve the unexpired term of the
late  Byron  rrey    The  election
was held at a special meeting
of  Council  Monday  night.
In tilling the vacancy council
more than met the deadline of
30 days which would have expired  Sept    26.
Yoder, a member of I well
known Kutztown family, is a
civil engineer and conducts a
railroad contracting business in
the Rhode Building, He is a
member of the Reading Chapter,
American Society of Profession-
a] Engineer! and is first vice
president of the Kutztown Lions
club. He is a graduate of Peon
State University
The election was not without
contest, however. It was the first
.Order of  business   of council.
Immediately after council convened Councilman Myron Boyer
nominated Larry Fenstermaker,
former president of council. It
was apparent that Boyer and
Councilman Clarence Smith had
Induced Fenstermaker to change
Ins mind about accepting the
nomination since   Fenstermaker
bad   announced  that  he   was   11<>t
a candidate.
Councilman P, H. Keodinger
then nominated Yoder.
The vote was three to two
with CouBCilmen Keodinger.
Robert Gift and John Melot
voting for Yoder ami Council-
men Boyer and Smith voting
for Fenjtermaker,
Among the lirvi to congratulate Yoder on his election was
Fenatermaker followed closely
by Smith and Boyer and the
other councllmen.
There   was   a   most   favorable
reaction by residents of Kutztown to the announcement of
Yoder'a election.
Aji interesting sidelight overlooked by most people is the
fact that Voder was nominated
by Councilman Keodinger who
defeated him when he was a
candidate for the same office
three years ago.
The political complexion of
council was not changed by
Voder's   election   since   he   is   a
Democrat All other councilmen
and Burgess Ira T Mover are
also Democrats
lu other business Council a-
warded the contract for the
remodeling of the first floor of
Town Mall into a YMCA center.
It was let to Roy l) Brandt, of
Sinking Spring R. 1, on his bid
of $9,269
The awarding of the contract
will bring to reality in the not
too dLstant future a center
where the youth of Kutztown
may go for recreational purposes Major renovations will
include the removal of two existing garage doors, interior remodeling, an all purpose room
•nd lavatory Facilities. The Kutztown library will also be housed
in the new quarters and parti-
lions will be erected for that
purpose.
The renovation project was
made possible through the sale
of the Qonser Home which formerly housed the YMCA and library Work is expected to begin within the next two weeks
and is scheduled for completion
in 25 working days.
