RESTAURNT
CELEBRATES ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY
East Farewell – It has been a year since the Lost Oasis opened
on Lake Shore Drive and almost everyone in town agrees that it has become a valuable,
contributing member of the towns thriving business district. A year ago that statement was not widely
agreed upon. On opening night the Lost
Oasis had the waiters and waitresses dress in Arabian attire with the men
dressed in linen shirts, unbuttoned halfway and turbans while the woman dressed
as what can only be described as belly dancers and many had their navels
exposed. It was all in fun and not intended to offend anyone but owner Charles
Wenz from New York slightly misgauged the town’s moral temperature and was
widely criticized for the prank. After openly and publicly apologizing, Wenz
was forgiven and went on to become a widely respected member of the business
community and a huge booster and sponsor for the town and events. The
restaurant has become very popular and has changed from its original Middle
Eastern menu to a more traditional American fare. Wenz has said on a number of
occasions that he intends to cater to what the people want and by following
that philosophy he has made the Lost Oasis the number one restaurant
destination in the “Destination Station”
“I love this
town and I want to do everything I can to make it better,” Wenz said recently,
“I know the folks have supported the Lost Oasis and I, in turn have gladly
supported them. We have had a presence at every event this year and we feel we
will have a long run here in East Farewell.”
Judging from
the lines that form outside the doors at dinner time that is an understatement
and everyone in town would agree.

TRAVELERS BACK UP WITH EXTRA
INNING WIN
Riverview – The Travelers got back on the winning side last
Saturday with a tenth inning win over the Anglers in Riverview, 6-5. The win was sorely needed by the Travelers
who had lost three straight and four out of their last five. This win was not a crushing slam that would
have reassured the Travelers fans but it was a win and an exciting game. Both teams started off with strong pitching
and remained scoreless for the first five innings. In the top of the sixth Joey
Brown looped a double into center and then stole third. Billy Sweet was able to score him with another
double after Arthur struck out. Pitcher Danny Lane was able to move Sweet to
third with a sacrifice bunt and then “Mean” Richie Lane crushed a fastball out
of the park to make the score 4-0 and the big win looked like it was in the
cards. But Anglers pitcher, Freddie
Vance, settled down and finished off the side. In the bottom of the fifth the
Anglers struck with a three run blast from Dave Martin and then took a 5-4 lead
in the eighth. Bobby Watson was able to draw a walk in the bottom of the ninth
and was moved over to third by a line hugging drive into the right corner by
Cloos. With two outs in the bottom of the ninth Billy Sweet was up and with the
count 3-2 he was able to squeeze a single through the middle to score Watson
and tie the game. Lane was able to retire the side and Francis led off but
flied out. Dunham hit a single into left then was able to advance to second on
a passed ball. Bobby Watson then took Vance to a 3-2 count before smashing a
long drive to center field and brought Sweet in for the winning score.
The Travelers
stay on the road next week when they meet the Cedar Creek Bulls. The game is in
the evening and starts at 7:30PM.

IKE SUMS UP FIRST SIX MONTHS –
CALLS EAST GERMAN REGIME BANKRUPT – MORMANS ROUNDED UP IN ARIZONA – TAFT DYING
President Eisenhower sums up his first
six months in the White House by saying progress has been made though not as
much as he had hoped. He said he still is hopeful a reasonable armistice will
be signed soon. Also from the President - American food will remain available
in West Berlin for the East Germans in spite of Soviet resentment. The President
said East Germans can come and get it as long as they aren’t prevented from
doing so. He said the $15 million worth of food was offered for humanitarian
purposes and it is difficult to understand objections to feeding hungry people.
Russia had demanded that the U.S. stop supplying free food to hungry East
Germans, charging that American charity was aimed at stirring-up an
anti-Communist revolt.
President Eisenhower said the
riot-shaken East German Communist regime is bankrupt and renewed a demand for free
all-German elections as a step toward unifying the divided country.
An entire community of 122 polygamists,
excommunicated Mormons in Short Creek Arizona, is raided an hour before dawn by
more than 100 state patrolmen and deputy sheriffs under an insurrection
proclamation by Arizona’s Gov. Howard Pyle to clean up what he called a foul
and ruthless conspiracy dedicated to white slavery. Midnight roadblocks and
monitored telephones cut off all outside communication with this communal farm
village on the Arizona-Utah border in the desolate strop area north of the
Grand Canyon.
Sen. Robert Taft of Ohio is reported in
a coma and is dying from cancer of the blood.
