NEW BURGER JOINT OPENS –
BURGERS-FRIES AND SKATES
East Farewell – Donnie Demarko opened a new drive-in restaurant
at the junction of Lake Shore Drive and West Avenue. The new eatery has lots of
neon and its menu features the popular teen foods, burgers, fries and shakes.
Also, Donnie’s features a whole team of waitresses on roller skates that roll
out to the cars, take the orders, roll back and then deliver the orders back to
the cars. Most of the roller hops, as they are called, are teenage girls but
there is one guy in the group. The new novel delivery method is a hit with the
customers. “We think it just great, so modern and snappy,” said a middle aged
customer from their car, “I have my whole family in the car and this is the
second time we came here since they opened.”
Owner Donnie
Demarko is from Philadelphia and has the restaurant business in his blood. His
father runs a restaurant in Philadelphia and is looking forward to making his
new, modern place a central dining place in town. “We are really looking
towards the summer crowds, but I am going to stay open all year. I doubt I will
be able to get the girls and Joe to roller skate in the dead of winter but
we’ll see,” said Demarko with a smile.
The scene has
already become quite the meeting place for the teenagers in town but there are
all types driving up and placing their orders with one of the roller hops and
digging into the burgers, dogs, fires and shakes.

MINERS ACE SCULPTS A WIN FOR SLATE MOUNTAIN
East Farewell – The Travelers may have to settle for second
place this year as their hopes for a close out sweep ended on Saturday with a
tough loss to the Slate Mountain Miners and their ace, Tony ‘Michael’ Angelo,
2-1. Angelo pitched a gem allowing only two hits and striking out 14 hapless
Travelers with a seemingly unhittable curveball. The only mistake he made was
to try to throw a fastball by Dale Dunham in the eighth. Dunham took the 3-2
fastball downtown but it was not enough to win the game. The loss almost seals
the Travelers fate for the season, a respectable second place, but below
expectations. Slate Mountain and CGW will battle it out for first place in the
last two weeks of the season. The Travelers wills close out the season with
games against the Monticello Vikings next week and close against the Albany
Senators in two weeks. There is an incredibly small chance that the Travelers
will still tie for first place but both the Miners and CGW will have to lose
both their final games and the Travelers win both their games. That would
create a three way tie for first place.
Next week’s
game begins at 1:30 at Traveler’s Field.

IKE ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL – BABE ZAHARIAS
DIES AT 42 – MAGLIE CONTINUES TO SHINE - ELVIS PAYS UP
President Eisenhower said that his role
in the campaign would be somewhat heavier than the five or six major speeches
he originally contemplated. On the campaign trail in Peoria President
Eisenhower appeared miffed at Adlai Stevenson’s accusation that he is the
author of a new farm depression, hit back with a fighting speech blasting past
Democratic administrations and the current democratic Congress for the farmer’s
plight.
In passing - Babe Zaharias - called the
greatest woman athlete the world has known. She was 42.
Sal Maglie turns his already great comeback into
an epic with a no-hit, no-run performance over
Philadelphia giving Brooklyn a 5-0 victory, keeping the Dodgers within a half game
of first-place Milwaukee in the National League pennant race.
Elvis Presley says he
paid a former girl friend an out-of-court settlement of $5,500 after a suit
charging Presley used a picture of her with him for his fan magazine. Ms.
Robbie Moore (20), a traffic department worker for Southern Bell Telephone Co.,
said she was sitting in a Memphis all-night restaurant, when Presley,
accompanied by a girl friend - Barbara Hern, and a photographer, sat down at
her table. “Why, I have known her around town for years,” Presley said, “and
had no idea she would object to the picture.” Ms. Moore said Elvis, after joining
her in the restaurant playfully ate part of her hamburger and drank some of her
glass of milk. Then, Ms. Moore said, he leaned his head on her shoulder and the
photographer took the picture.
