DELI TO REBUILD
East Farewell – Lou Myer has said he will start to rebuild his
demolished deli as soon as the debris is cleared and all the plumbing,
electrical and gas lines have been checked and cleared. He anticipates the project will begin before
the end of the summer. “I would like to get underway as soon as possible,
hopefully before the end of the summer. I don’t want to have a lot of construction
going on in the winter,” said Meyer when he was interviewed after his
announcement at the explosion site.
The deli
exploded last week and was completely demolished. A gas leak is the current
suspected cause but the investigation is ongoing. Insurance investigators are
on the scene as well as local town officials from city license department and
the fire department. Fire Chief, Thomas “Cal” Calhoun, has said the most
probable cause was a gas leak but he has also cautioned many from making any
hasty conclusions. “We will let the whole process play out. There is no reason
to jump to conclusions, no matter how clear they may appear.”
The community
has come to help Lou with his rebuilding. Only one week after the explosion and
the fund that was set up for Lou at the local bank has already passed $5000.00.
“This is a true blessing,” said Lou, “I am going to get some insurance money
but there wasn’t going to be enough to do a complete rebuild. Now, with this
gift from all my friends in town I will be able to put it back just the way it
was, only better. I love this town and I love
all the people here. This has been home to me and my family for more than
twenty years and I couldn’t imagine leaving. I am truly blessed to have this
great town and my family around me.”

CGW COMES TO TOWN
East Farewell – Corning Glass Works
came to town on Saturday and melted the Travelers defense in a stunning 9-1
victory. CGW caught the Travelers completely off guard when they started a new
pitcher, Al Perkins, who arrived just in time for the warm-ups from parts still
unknown. Perkins walked on the mound and completely controlled the game. He was
helped by a very strong offense that seemed to have traveler’s pitcher, Danny
Lane, in their sights. While Perkins retired the first 15 batters in order Lane
struggled from the start letting up three runs in the first and two in the
second. It wasn’t until the fourth the Lane calmed down and was able retire the
side without any scores. The CGW nine were not finished with Lane though. In
the seventh they scored three more with four hits. They started with singles by
Travis and Ruhr then a double by O’Hare and a base clearing single by Davis. In
eighth they loaded the bases and slugger Franz Heinz smacked a triple the
mercifully ended the scoring. The Travelers were only able to score once in the
sixth with a double by Dimero and Arty Archibald driving him in with a bloop
single to right.
“I
don’t know what went wrong out there today” said manager Sam Fowler, “but I
didn’t like it. Those guys looked like they were unconscious. They are going to
hear it from me tomorrow. I give them to night to sleep it off, but they are
going to get it tomorrow.”
We
will wait and see if Fowler has any impact on the team. The next game is
Saturday at home against the Mountain View Explorers with ace, Joe “Freight”
Trane and slugger Bobby “Hammer” Taxen. The Travelers will have their work cut
out for them. The game starts at 1:05 at the Ballpark.

subcommittee is investigating allegations by some song writers that BMI
attempts to dictate pop music tastes by determining what tunes shall be
broadcast. Crosby continued by declaring
“a monopolistic trend in music on the part of broadcasters is certainly
apparent... the state of this stuff is surely not accidental, attributable to a
radical change in public taste, nor due to a sudden unanimous failure of talent
among established song writers... I think it is the result of pressure exerted
by BMI.” (BMI has all the rock ‘n’ roll
music).
