BLACK BEAR
SIGHTED ON LAKESHORE DRIVE
East Farewell- A black bear was sighted “strolling” down
Lakeshore Drive on Wednesday night about 10:00
PM . It was first sighted at
Lakeshore and Main by several pedestrians.
They reported it to police and by the time the police arrived the bear
had made its way down Lakeshore Drive to Fountain Park. It appeared to watch the fountain display and
the high-tailed it down to the end of Second Street and off into the
woods. The police tracked it for an hour
but it kept moving further and further back into the woods so, the tracking was
called off. “Since there was no apparent
threat to anybody, we decided to let the critter go, no harm done,” said Police
Chief Nate Tucker.
It is not
unheard of to see wildlife within the town limits but a full grown bear has not
been seen in quite a while. The whole
event was kind of comical as there was little traffic on Lakeshore Drive and
the pedestrian traffic was almost non existent even though the weather was
unusually warm for that time of night at that time of the year. As the bear wandered down the Drive, folks
who were sitting on their front porches shouted to each other and calling out
to the bear with funny comments and suggestions. Black bears are not completely uncommon to
the town and most of the old time residents remember when wildlife made
frequent appearances in town. Most of
the townspeople took it in stride and let the bear go on its way.
“We used to see
them all the time,” said Mrs. Mallard, local boarding house owner,
“but not so much anymore. All the
development and added people sort of scared them away, I guess. They are normally very shy animals.”
“I think he
just wanted to see the new Fountain Display,” said Charles
Wenz, owner of the Lost Oasis Restaurant and Bar.

game’s score belies the fact that it was a pitchers duel for the first five
innings. Travelers, Billy Green retired
the first twelve batters before walking Wayne
Things changed for both teams
in the sixth inning. The Travelers
started off with a double by Bobby Watson, a single by Cloos and a triple by
Dimero. That seemed to open the flood gates and the Travelers were able to
score two more in the sixth. The Miners came roaring back by scoring three in
the bottom of the sixth. The seventh was
more of the same when Francis lead off with a double, Dunham kept up his hot
streak with a single, Watson struck out and Cloos was intentionally walked
which turned out to be a big mistake as Tony Dimero took a 2-2 fastball way
downtown for a grand slam. The Miners
answered with back to back homers in the bottom of the seventh. The Miners added one more in the eight bringing
the score to 8-6, Travelers but the Travelers were able to score once more in
the ninth closing out the game that was really two games in one. The first six innings was one and then there
was a totally different game in the last three.
The Travelers continue
their road trip next week against Mountain

MINIMUM WAGE INCREASE – DEADLY
CRASH AT LE MANS – MARTIN AND LEWIS ARGUE
The Senate approves a
Democratic-sponsored increase in the national minimum wage from the present 75
cents an hour to $1 - 10cents more than President Eisenhower asked.
At least 77 persons are killed and
another 75 injured when the crash of a flaming sports car in front of the
grandstand in Le Mans’ 24-hour auto race. A speeding Mercedes crashed into
another car and then catapulted inflames over a dirt retaining wall into the
crowd. Pieces of hot metal cut bodies apart. The death toll is expected to
rise.
They’re having a tiff, but Dean Martin
and Jerry Lewis say they will remain a team. Basis of the squabble reportedly
is that Paramount suggested and Lewis subsequently insisted - that the premiere
of the comedy team’s latest movie be held in a resort in the Catskill Mountains
where Lewis once worked as a busboy and has a lot of friends. Martin felt that,
because of this, so much of the limelight would be on Lewis, that it would be practically
a solo performance. When the matter came up three months ago, martin disclosed,
he refused to go. “I’m not a Jerry about this, but, naturally, I’m upset about
it. All this publicity makes me look like a heel.” Martin says that although he
and Lewis will full-fill movie and TV commitments, he has now decided he’d like
to have his own TV show. “I just want to sing a little more, that’s all.”
