CRAFT FAIR ON
LAKEFRONT PLAZA
East Farewell – The
local artists took over the Lakefront Plaza last weekend and displayed an
outstanding and eclectic variety of pottery, woven items, paintings, handmade
furniture and exotic sculpture. Over twenty local artists took part in the one
day event and many were able to sell their wares as well as make contacts and
take orders. “This was a wonderful event. We have so much local talent and it
is just great that they get to show off their work. I bought a beautiful woven
cape from Emily and I just love it,” gushed Mrs. Mallard, referring to local
artist and weaver, Emily Richardson.
The
event opened at 8:00 and continued on into the evening as people stayed around
the Plaza and enjoyed the late sunset, warm breezes and dining al fresco that
was set up by local restaurants. An added surprise was in store for the diners
and late evening strollers, the Regional High School Jazz Ensemble played long
into the night adding sparkle to the evening. “We were just having fun,” said
senior Frank Dunn, “We all wanted to stay sharp over the summer so we just all
got together and set up and played. It was totally impromptu, great fun but
totally impromptu, that is the most fun anyway.”

SPORTS
TRAVELERS WIN IN CEDAR CREEK
Cedar Creek – The Travelers stayed hot with a win in Cedar
Creek, 2-1. The Travelers were fortunate to face a struggling Bears team whose
leading hitter, Jeff Curtain, is currently out with a sprained ankle. The
Travelers pitcher, Joe Nagy was strong and only let one run across and kept the
Bears to only four hits. Johnny Cloos extended his hitting streak to five games
with two hits, a double and a single, both of which drove the Travelers runs.
The defense was stingy, letting only one runner advance beyond first. The Bears
have been hobbled since Curtain went down in the fourth game sliding into
third. They have not been able to score more than one run in any game since and
have not won. Curtain is expected to return in two weeks.
The Travelers
stay on the road again next week when they play a double header against a very
strong Slate Mountain Team. The first game starts at 1:30PM in the Slate
Mountain Park.

CRASH AT LEMANS – MINIMUM WAGE INCREASED
– MARTIN & LEWIS SQUABBLE – JOHNNY CARSON ON TV –THE MOVIES THIS WEEK
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.
The Senate approves a
Democratic-sponsored increase in the national minimum wage from the present 75
cents an hour to $1 – 10 cents more than President Eisenhower asked.
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.”
Television news - Johnny Carson will be
starring in his own show beginning June 30 over CBS-TV. Barbara Ruick singer and actress will be a featured
performer. Sponsors will be General Foods and Revlon.
