Norton Lewis Lichtenwalner (June 1, 1889 – May 3, 1960) was a Democratic member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Pennsylvania.

Norton L. Lichtenwalner was born in Allentown, Pennsylvania to Fred H. and Jennie (Seiple) Lichtenwalner. He graduated from Allentown High School (now known as William Allen High School) in 1905 and Bethlehem Preparatory School in 1906. He attended Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. In 1908, he moved to New York City and was employed by E. Naumburg & Co., a banking company.[1] He returned to Allentown in 1915 and engaged in the retail furniture business until 1922, and then in the retailing of automobiles until 1933. During the First World War, Lichtenwalner enlisted as a seaman in the United States Naval Reserve.

Lichtenwalner was elected as a Democrat to the Seventy-second Congress. He was an unsuccessful candidate for reelection in 1932. After his time in Congress, he became State director for the Pennsylvania National Emergency Council from 1935 to 1941, and State director of Office of Government Reports in 1941 and 1942. In 1949 he was elected to the Allentown City Council for one term and in 1955 he was elected treasurer of Lehigh County, Pennsylvania for one term. He died in Allentown, and is buried in Fairview Cemetery.

gollark: It also isn't stable wrt. the star, so you'll need a way to move the ring around to keep the star in the middle.
gollark: There's no day-night cycle, which you might find unpleasant. This can be solved by having a smaller inner ring which is only half filled in and doesn't spin. You can also stick solar panels on there for free power.
gollark: You'd shove land and ecosystems and whatever onto it and then live there with several million times the land area of Earth.
