SCHOOLS OPEN
East Farewell – Local schools opened for classes on Monday. Students
at every level started the 1960-1961 school year with varying degrees of
anticipation and apprehension some for the first time and some for the last. School
administrators said this class is the largest to ever start the school year.
The overall student body has increased for the past three years. Both the
primary school, K through 5, and the high school, 9 through 12, have had
expansions and improvements over the last two years and are well prepared to
handle the increase. The middle school, 6 through 8, is slated for expansion
next year. The growth bubble seems to had a slight pause four years ago making
the middle school’s current size still able to the student body this year.
In the high
school some students began a little before the first day. The football team has
been practicing for almost a week and some of the clubs have been meeting at
different locations around town. Many students started on Monday entering a new
building, the sixth and ninth graders were starting a new level of their education
and many were visibly tentative on the first day. As for the very early
students, the kindergarten and first graders were accompanied by their parents
as they began their educational experience. There were some tears from both
sides, parents and students, and very welcoming arms of the teachers to open
the school year.

SPORTS
TRAVELERS ARE UP THE CREEEK
Cedar Creek – The Travelers slipped
up in Cedar Creek on Saturday. They came into town with a very strong home
stand winning streak in hand but were not able to generate any offense as they
went down to the Bulls, 4-1. The Bulls have not been exceptionally strong this
season but their ace, Brad Devon, was able to keep the Travelers off balance
and off base. He struck out 9 and only allowed 5 hits. The Travelers pitcher,
Joey Alfred, started strong but got into trouble in the sixth when the Bulls
were able to load the bases and Alfred took Bulls outfielder, Harry Stenson, to
a three and two count and Stenson was able to get ahold of an Alfred low curve
and drive it into right clearing the bases. The Travelers came back in the
seventh with a solo homer by “Big Bob” Tilman but that was all they were able
to come up with as the Bulls added one more in the bottom of the eight.
The
Travelers are turning into a two-sided team. They are almost unbeatable at home
but can’t seem to find a hit or a run on the road. They are going to try to
break that image when they take on Riverview Anglers next week in Riverview.
The game begins at 3:30 in Riverview Park. The late afternoon start is due to the Riverview Fishing tournament that is taking place in the morning.

COMMIE JETS OVER BERLIN –
CONGO UPDATE – KENNEDY WILL TAKE IT EASY ON KHRUSHCHEV – CASTRO ARRIVES IN NYC
Increased jet activity by Red jet fighters is observed over Berlin. An East German army officer who defected to the West says the Communists against West Germany are planning a war of conquest.
Update on the Congo - Soviet-led Communists were seen burning documents and packing in preparation for a getaway. Their effort to gain a foothold in Central Africa has apparently failed. Patrice Lumumba, the puppet they had been shaping, has vanished. New Congolese army strongman Col. Joseph Mobuto says they must clear out before nightfall. The Russians and their Communist allies had moved into the Congo following independence June 30, they poured men and equipment in outside the U.N. Congo effort, setting off a huge dispute with western nations and the United Nations. Later, Lumumba came out of hiding and placed himself under the protection of U.N. troops in Leopoldville. Mobuto set up a Congolese technical commission to supersede both the ousted regime of Communist supported Patrice Lumumba and the shadow government of premier-designate Joseph Lleo.
Sen. Kennedy says he will not exploit Nikita Khrushchev’s visit for campaign purposes and would meet the Soviet premier only if his Republican rival for the Presidency sees the Russian too. He said the country’s reaction to the probable propaganda blasts from Khrushchev in the U.N. General Assembly should “be guided by the good judgment of the President”

name-calling, greeted Castro as he arrived to attend the United Nations General
Assembly.
