RAILROAD TO OPEN
REGIONAL OFFICE IN TOWN
East Farewell- The Mighty Keystone Railroad announced on Monday
that they would open a Regional Office in East Farewell early next year. The announcement was met with a bit of
surprise by the Town Council but it was certainly pleasant surprise. The office will bring about 25 jobs to town
and help boost the economy even more. In
a release by the Director of Regional Affairs, Thomas Waddington, it is the
railroads intent to open an office in East Farewell to expedite the
communication between the railroad and the suppliers in the region. The suppliers would be; the Iron Works in
East Farewell, electrical supplier, Eagleton Supply, in Slate Mountain and the
Corning Glass works in Coring.
“Once again, East Farewell has shown it is the premier location
in the area to do business and live,” said Tom Conally, Council President,
during a hastily arranged news conference Tuesday. He went on to emphasize the
importance of the railroad in the town’s development and well being.
“I think it is just great,” said Mrs. Mallard,
local landlord, “We need more stable jobs here and this will bring in a higher
class of people. Not that I mind the factory workers, but they can be kind of
transient. I think some white collars around here will be nice. I have a
feeling that with all these people moving in and out something bad is going to
happen”
The details of the office have not been released but it is
presumed that they will locate in the prime business district and occupy at
least a whole floor in one of the main buildings in town.
SPORTS
COUGARS WIN TWO
OVER WILDCATS AND CANARIES
The Cougars continued
their two-game a week revised schedule this week and were able to win two games
in spite of the grueling schedule. This week they hosted the Riverview Wildcats
and the Slate Mountain Canaries. Both teams played well against the Cougars but
both went down in defeat to the current league leader. The Wildcats played a
very tough first half scoring an unanswered 10 points during one stretch, but
the Cougars rallied after a timeout and went on to win 50-43. The Cougars
showed great discipline and followed some superb coaching by Coach Wilson to
claw their way back and push past the court-running Wildcats. The steady
backcourt play of Fitzgerald and Welch dominated the second half and cooled the
hot run and gun play of Wildcats Burt Wolf and Jerry Fine that was so
successful in the first half. Wolf and
Fine worked very well together scoring a combined total of 29 points, 21 in the
first half. When the second half started with the Wildcats on top by two, both
teams played a very defensive game. Neither side scored in the first six
minutes. As the half started to wind down the Cougars came alive inside with
center, Bill Donahue, commanding the inside and scoring 12 points inside the
last eight minutes.
In the second game last
week the Cougars were showing their fatigue but were able to outscore an
equally fatigued Canary squad, 45-44.
Both sides were coming off tough games earlier in the week and the
squeezed schedule took its toll on the players.
The Cougars shot a dismal 25% and the Canaries did not fare any better,
shooting only 23%. Once again Cougar center Bill Donahue controlled the middle
and the inside scoring 26 points and grabbing 15 rebounds. The Canaries were led by the outside shooting
of guard, Bill Boyle, who scored 22 points.
“This was a tough week
for the boys, with the weather and the tight schedule and all,” said Coach
Wilson after the second game, “but they played well enough to win. The Canaries were tough but they were
tired, too. It wasn’t our best game but a win is a win.”

base the battle. The result can be nothing but failure.”
