FALL HARVEST FESTIVAL

---

East Farewell – A fall harvest sell-off/festival took place on the Lakefront Plaza over the weekend. Local farmers, crafters and artists set up booths all around the Plaza and back up both  Main Street and Lakeshore Drive and offered all kinds of fresh picked vegetables, fruits, crafts and prepared food. Many farms setup both sales booths and small tables with chairs to serve delicious snacks and meals prepared using the farm’s produce. Several groups of local musicians set up around the area and played music throughout the days and into the evenings. The event started on Saturday morning at 10:00 and officially ran until 8:00PM but some of the stalls set up by local restaurants and some of the musical acts stayed until 10:00PM. The whole thing was repeated on Sunday.

            The fall harvest sale has been around for at least three years but there have been groups of farmers setting up temporary stalls to sell their surplus produce for many years. An interesting development this year was the introduction of a local brewery supplying a special “Harvest Brew” made just for the season. Local brewer, Liebenfrau, owned by the Hansberger family, supplied their special brew along with grilled sausages or chicken in a special large tent set up right on the Plaza. They had two long picnic tables set up for family style seating and both the waiters and waitresses were dressed in Bavarian outfits. “We thought we might try to make a little bit of an Oktoberfest feel with the beer, the long tables, the outfits and the food,” said Gustave Hansberger, family patriarch, “We would like to try and start an Oktoberfest tradition in town. We will have to see how well this is received by everyone.”

            Whether the tradition catches on or not will remain to be seen but if the constantly full tables and the waiting lines are any indication it looks like this may be a wonderful new tradition.

SLATE MOUNTAIN ENJOYS THEIR HOMCOMING

---

Slate Mountain – The Slate Mountain Canaries enjoyed their homecoming Saturday at the expense of the Cougars. The Miners were able to squeak by the Cougars, 21-20. The Canaries took a 21-14 lead into the fourth quarter and were well on their way to a solid win when Cougar safety, Harry Hamlin, picked off a Canaries pass at the Canaries 40 and was able to return it for a score. The Cougars lined up to attempt a two point conversion. Quarterback, Billy O’Conner got the snap and handed off to fullback “Moose” Boyle who tried to ram through the center of the line. The Canaries were ready and the entire team massed on Moose preventing him from scoring. The Canaries were able to run the clock out after the kickoff.

            The Cougars played a good game but suffered from too many penalties. They had an unheard of 7 penalties in the first half and weren’t a whole lot better in the second, being called for 6 miscues. Most of the penalties were either offsides or false starts but defensive end, Shamus McKean was called for a costly pass interference that led to a Miners score. “We are going to have to address all those penalties,” said coach Burcowitz after the game, “We don’t have any excuse for that stuff. These boys should know better by now. I will be working on discipline at next week’s practices. That is for sure.”

            The Cougars have their own homecoming next week when they host the Sun City Eagles. The festivities begin at 12:00 on the Regional High School field with a marching band concert and drill team display. The game begins at 1:00. The gates will open at 11:30AM. The crowd is expected to be a sell-out.

MACARTHUR LEADS PARADE – BRIT SHIPS BOTTLE-UP SUEZ CANAL – COLOR TV PRODUCTION FROZEN – RELIGIOUS CULT WHIPS WOMAN TO DEATH – MOTHER-IN –LAW SENT POISONED TART – NL ALL-STAR TEAM ANNOUNCED – POP MUSIC THIS WEEK

---

In Miami, General Douglas MacArthur leads the 8-hour long American Legion parade and then steps into the stands to review the parade with Mrs. MacArthur. About 2,500 Soldiers, Sailors, Marines and airman marched behind the general with about 200,000 turning out to see the colorful spectacle.

British war ships move to bottle-up both ends of the Suez Canal. A Cairo newspaper said that British were letting oil tankers through the canal to Israel from the east without being searched by Egyptian authorities. Egypt imposes a strict blockade against such shipments to Israel (to whom she is technically at war). Egypt protested in a note that the British are acting as though they are “moving to conquer a country.”

The government calls for an immediate freeze on mass production of television color sets during the big defense drive. The request was sent to CBS President Frank Stanton, who said the company would comply immediately. CBS will suspend manufacture of color TV equipment for the duration of the emergency and also will drop its regular schedule of color telecasts.

In St Paul, a second woman dies after a frenzied religious cultist seeks to explain his whippings by quoting the bible. The whippings were conducting at a sect meeting by Curtis Lennader. The repeated lashings with a 3-foot whip included the death of his wife, Ardith. About a dozen members of the cult were present. The daughter of the other victim, Pat Doyle, was asked: “How could you stand by and see your mother beaten to death. Didn’t you do anything about it? Doyle replied” “No, why should I.”

In London, Rebecca McEwan who sent her mother-in-law an apple tart containing disinfectant pleads guilty in court of sending a “noxious substance to injure or annoy. The judge released her with the warning, “I don’t want it to be thought that mothers-in-law can be treated in this way.”

Three veteran baseball writers from each city select the annual United Press All-Star National League team.

CIRCUS COMES TO TOWN

---

East Farewell – The Barnum & Bailey Circus train pulled into town for short stay yesterday. It pulled off on the extended siding that is sometimes used for by the Iron Works. The siding runs alongside the Fairgrounds where the tents and midway were set up. The circus has made a stop in town for the past two years and made stops in earlier years but as Ringmaster Dwight Bigalowe said, “We love this town but it is right on the edge of the market, size wise. We need a certain guaranteed audience to be able to keep going and the small towns don’t really make it. Luckily for this town they are able to pull in a big enough audience from the surrounding areas and the train is able to bring a whole lot of folks. We are going to put on some great shows over the weekend and everyone is going to have a great time. After all, we are the greatest show on earth!”

            The ground crews seemed to get busy as soon as the train stopped. They were setting up the pens for the animals, moving all the equipment onto the fairgrounds and starting the big top tent setup. The circus brings quite a collection of animals with them. There is a full complement of elephants, lions, tigers and bears, oh my. They all have their own pens with plenty of room to move. In some towns the circus stages a parade to build up enthusiasm for the show.

            The shows will be on Saturday at 1:00 and evening show beginning at 7:00. The Sunday shows will be at 12:00 and 5:00. The midway will be open on Saturday from 12 noon to 11:00 PM and on Sunday from 11:00 to 10:00PM. Tickets can be purchased at almost any store in town and they can also be bought right at the ticket booth at the entrance to the fairgrounds.

DEVILS HEX COUGARS

---

Corning – The Devils dealt the Cougars their first loss on Saturday. They beat them in a tough fought, grinding battle, 21-14. The Cougars came into town riding a 2-0 record and felt they were starting to become a formidable team despite their youth. The Devils came into the game with two wins under their belts also and had the advantage of having more experienced players throughout the lineup.

            The game was a deadlock for most of the time. Both teams were able to ramp up their defenses and keep the other side in check. The Devils struck first in the second quarter with a six yard run by halfback Harry Hartwell ran around the end and in for the score. The Cougars were able to tie it up in the third with a ten yard screen pass and run from Billy O’Conner to Phil Flynn. The third quarter turned out to be the Cougar’s quarter as they scored a second time as time was running out in the third. “Moose” Boyle, fullback, rumbled in from two yards out. In the fourth quarter The Devils struck early with a long bomb to Devil wide receiver, Mitch Tupper, to tie the score. The time was running out and with only two minutes left Devils quarterback, Ken Murphy, was able to fake a pitchout and keep the ball to the inside and run for a stunning 30 yards. He immediately set up the line and ran a snap play that turned into a defense confusing, razzle-dazzle double end around that turned into a nine yard score. The play had players running everywhere and the total amount of yards runs must have totaled 25 at least. Nevertheless, the Devils scored as time ran out and they took the win, 21-14.

            The Cougars stay on the road next week as they meet the Slate Mountain Canaries for the Canaries homecoming. The game begins at 1:30 in Slate Mountain with their homecoming ceremonies beginning at 12:00 on the Canaries field.

“ATOMIC ENERY LAB” CAUSES CONCERN IN STUDENT LAB

---

East Farewell – The Senior Science Club came under scrutiny last week when it was revealed that they were using the Gilbert U-232 Atomic Energy lab in experiments and testing. Many of the High School administrators and members of the School Board expressed concern about the students using the kit once they found out what it contained. “I am not sure but they could possibly build an atomic bomb with that kit and I don’t think that is appropriate for high school students,” said Leo F. Farrell at a school board meeting, “I would hate for there to be some sort of explosion.”

            The School Board voted to take a closer look into the kit and it’s capability before banning it outright. The kit was championed by senior class science club president, William Boyle and science teacher, Samuel Bellows, as safe and very instructive. Most of the school board stayed skeptical.

The Gilbert U-238 Atomic Energy Lab was a toy lab set produced by Alfred Carlton Gilbert, an American athlete, magician, toy-maker, business man, and inventor of the well-known Erector Set. The Atomic Energy Lab was released by the A. C. Gilbert Company in 1950. The kit's intention was to allow children to create and watch nuclear and chemical reactions using radioactive material.

The Atomic Energy Lab is just one of a dozen chemical reactions lab kits on the market. Gilbert’s toys often include instructions on how a child can use the set to put on his own "magic show". For parents, he pushes the idea that the sets' use of chemical reactions directs their children toward a potential career in science and engineering. The set contains the following:

Battery-powered Geiger–Müller counter

Electroscope

Spinthariscope

Wilson cloud chamber with short-lived alpha source (Po-210) in the form of a wire

Four glass jars containing natural uranium-bearing (U-238) ore samples (autunite, torbernite, uraninite, and carnotite from the "Colorado plateau region")

Low-level radiation sources:

beta-alpha (Pb-210)

pure beta (possibly Ru-106)

gamma (Zn-65)

"Nuclear spheres" for making a model of an alpha particle

Gilbert Atomic Energy Manual — a 60-page instruction book written by Dr. Ralph E. Lapp

Learn How Dagwood Split the Atom — comic book introduction to radioactivity, written with the help of General Leslie Groves (director of the Manhattan Project) and John R. Dunning (a physicist who verified fission of the uranium atom)

Prospecting for Uranium — a 1949 book published jointly by the Atomic Energy Commission and the United States Geological Survey

Three C batteries

1951 Gilbert Toys catalog

A product catalog described the set as follows: "Produces awe-inspiring sights! Enables you to actually SEE the paths of electrons and alpha particles traveling at speeds of more than 10,000 miles per SECOND! Electrons racing at fantastic velocities produce delicate, intricate paths of electrical condensation – beautiful to watch. Viewing Cloud Chamber action is closest man has come to watching the Atom! Assembly kit (Chamber can be put together in a few minutes) includes Dri-Electric Power Pack, Deionizer, Compression Bulb, Glass Viewing Chamber, Tubing, Power Leads, Stand, and Legs."

Among other activities, the kit suggested "playing hide and seek with the gamma ray source", challenging players to use the Geiger counter to locate a radioactive sample hidden in a room.

COUGARS SWIPE BEARS

---

East Farewell – The Cougars took on the Bears last Saturday and were able to come away with their second win thanks to the very impressive kicking skills of Charlie Cox. Cox is only a sophomore but he has the composure of a player with much more field experience. He has been kicking balls all his life but only started concentrating on football when he started high school. When Coach Burcowitz saw Cox kick in his freshman year he immediately tried to get him to work with the team. League rules prohibit freshmen from playing on the varsity team but the coach was able to have him practice with the team and when Cox started his sophomore year he was on the team.

            The Bears won the toss on game day and opted to receive the ball first. Cox kicked off all the way down to the Bears 15, his best kickoff yet. Even through the Bears are a fairly young team they played well in their first game, winning 34-21. Their quarterback, Ned Smith, is the oldest member of the team and is the natural leader. He has a lot of talent and experience. He went to work right away when the Bears started on their own 15. He started with two running plays utilizing his junior halfback, Dave Dawson and another junior fullback, Brett Walker and was able to move the ball to the forty in two plays. Smith then went to the air on second down and found wide receiver, Michael Richter, on a long out pattern for another thirty yards. After several strong stops Smith turned back to his fullback and Walker was able to rumble down to the seven. Smith went back to Dawson who swung it out to the outside and was able to outrun the Cougars defense for the score.

            The Cougars took the kickoff and drove down to the Bears thirty five but were stopped and Cox had to attempt his first punt. He was able to get of a shaky punt but it turned out to be a huge benefit for the Cougars as it bounced at the eight and went out of bounds at the four. The Bears set up on their own four and started to work their way out of the hole. They went to the air and were able to move up to their thirty but Smith went to the air once too often and Shamus McKean was able to step in front of Richter and pick off a pass and return it to the Bears twenty. O’Conner came back on and in two plays, an end run by Joey Fox and a swing pass to Flynn, the Cougars had tied the game.

            In the second quarter both teams scored again after battling back and forth but the half ended with in a 14-14 tie. The second half started with Cougars receiving the kickoff and the very speedy Joey Fox was able to jig and jog and outrun most of the Bears defense and take the ball to the Bears thirty. O’Conner went to work and ran a set of running plays and got a couple of first downs and the Cougars were set up at the Bears eleven. O’Conner called a power play up the center and “Moose” Boyle blasted through a giant hole made by the offensive line and rambled into the end zone for the score. The Cougars took the lead 21-14. The Bears rallied early in the fourth to tie the game again with a long bomb to Richter. There was only four minutes left and the Cougars had driven down to the Bears twenty. On a third and seven Flynn cut to the outside but O’Conner’s pass was a little too outside for even the sticky fingered Flynn and the Cougars faced a fourth and seven. Cox came on the field. He had made a twenty five yard field goal last week and he had boomed the ball earlier in the game. The ball was snapped, the hold was good the ball was kicked and the field goal was made. Cox came right back and knocked the kickoff down to the fifteen and the Bears tried to  let the ball roll into the end zone for a touchback but it stopped on the three and they had to down it there. They luckily did not lose possession as the Cougars were swarming. Smith and his team tried valiantly but were unable to get themselves out of the hole and had to try a long bomb facing a fourth and six from the twenty six with only 30 seconds left. The ball sailed over a sprinting Richter who was covered by a tenacious McKean to fall untouched at the Cougars twenty. The Cougars took over and ran the last 10 seconds off the clock and walked off with hard won victory, 23-21.

            The Cougars start a road trip next week when they travel to Corning to meet the Devils. The game begins at 1:30 on Saturday in Corning. It will be interesting to see if the Cougar fans will make the trek to Corning.

UNUSUAL BOAT VISITS LAKE CHARLES

---

East Farewell – The summer season may be over and the school year has begun but there are still fishermen on the lake and they will probably stay even after the lake freezes. All fishermen have their own favorite spot and most like to keep them secret or very private. Lake Charles has many inlets and small coves around the over 50 mile circumference and there are plenty of “secret” places. Unfortunately for the big boat owners who fish, these secluded places are too shallow to get their boats in without running aground. Small rowboats and canoes are the only craft that can maneuver into these quite, calm places. Until now. Bill Van Dyke from Philadelphia has a brother who lives in the Florida everglades. His brother, Dave, sold his fan-boat to Bill at the beginning of the summer. It took some time but Bill was to get the boat up to Lake Charles but he got it on the lake just before Labor Day. It turned out to be quite an event when Bill pulled the trailer into the boat launch with the fan-boat. Not many people had ever seen the unusual looking boat with its very shallow draft and huge fan sitting on the back with steering fins behind. Many people gathered around the launch and many cheered when Van Dyke started up the fan and slipped onto the lake. The people on the beach were not expecting the fan exhaust to be so strong and one surprised spectator, Willie Branch, lost his toupee as he was watched Van Dyke pull away.

            The fan-boat turned out to require a little training. Van Dyke spun in circles for the first few minutes once he got on the lake and after he got control he had a bit of a problem with controlling the speed. After a few days he was able to control the boat with much more success and he started to explore some of the fore to hidden “secret” coves much to the dismay of the canoeists and small rowboat owners and even the hip-waders. After a few close encounters Van Dyke backed off and using the excuse that the fan-boat had no reverse (which it didn’t) making it impossible to maneuver in the tight confines of the coves and inlets he stayed out on the main part of the lake and thoroughly enjoyed himself with the sliding type turns and the quick response that the fan-boat offered.

            “I was a little surprised at the backlash I got from the guys when I tried to run the boat into tight coves, they kind of felt like they owned them, but they don’t. That’s okay, I don’t want any trouble and the boat kind of got stuck in there anyway, it doesn’t have any reverse. So I got myself some paddles and now I can turn the fan off outside and drift in using the paddles to steer and back up. It works fine and everyone is happy,” said Van Dyke from his dock when he was asked about his boat.

            Van Dyke and his fan-boat have become familiar on the lake and part of the whole lake community. It doesn’t seem like there will be an influx of fan-boats on the lake, most people seem drawn more towards the traditional Chris-Craft type motorboats but Bill Van Dyke is fine with that. Everyone waves to him as he slides by.

COUGARS START SEASON WITH A WIN

---

East Farewell – The Cougars opened their 1951 football season last week with a game against their old foes the Slate Mountain Miners. This year the team fielded a few new players in key positions due to graduation and enlistment in military service. Billy O’Conner, a junior, took the reins as quarterback while Joey Fox, a sophomore, is the new running back and a young Charlie Cox, also a sophomore is the kicker. On the defense a defensive end, Shamus McKean plays on both sides as the play dictates. One constant though, is the Coach Al Burcowitz who has returned for his seventh year as head coach. This is a young team but they appear to be a very talented team. They are quick and Coach Burcowitz has taught them well. They execute their plays well and seem to understand the game despite their youth.

            Their first game was a good test because Slate Mountain also fielded a fairly young team. The Cougars started by kicking off and Cox started off the season with an impressive kickoff down the Miners 20. The defense was able to stop the Miners return man, Reggie Detroit, at the thirty. Detroit is also the Miners main running back and took the brunt of the plays on the ground. The Cougars were able to force the Miners to punt from their own thirty six and the Cougars took over on their own thirty. Billy O’Conner started his Regional High career as a quarterback with a quick pass to wide receiver Phil Flynn, a junior, who ran for an extra five yards and showed a lot of promise. He had played as a sophomore last year and he exhibited some very strong skills. The Cougars were able to drive down to the Miners six and then O’Conner handed off to fullback, Johnny “Moose” Boyle, another junior, who powered his way through the Miner line and went in for the Cougars first score. The Cougars took a 7-0 lead with the addition of a near perfect extra point by Cox. The game went back and forth for the rest of the first half and the Cougars took a 7-0 lead into the locker room at the half.

            The Miners kicked off in the second half and the Cougars were able to drive down to the Miners twenty five. Charlie Cox set up for his first field goal attempt from the twenty five. He had never tried a field goal from that distance but he went out with a lot of confidence. Unfortunately, confidence dose not translate into accuracy. He gave to ball a mighty wallop and it sailed far enough but it hit the upright and bounced back off the upright and fell to the ground short. The Miners took over on their own twenty and turned to Detroit to power through the Cougar line. Miners quarterback, Frank Geraldo, the only senior on the Miners team, directed a well-executed drive down to the Cougars twelve and with a swing pass out to Detroit the Miners tied the score.

            It wasn’t until halfway through the fourth quarter that the Cougars were able to get a sustained drive going again but with only three minutes left O’Conner hit Flynn on a ten yard down and out route that Flynn was able to turn into a twenty yard score after breaking two tackles. Cox supplied the extra point and the Cougars were on top 14-7 with two minutes left. The Miners mounted a fierce attack but Shamus McKean was able to stop Reggie Detroit on a fourth and three with a bruising smash that stopped the excellent runner two yards short of a first down. The Cougars took over on downs and were able to run the clock out and secure the victory.

            Next week the Cougars stay at home and host the Central Bears. This will be another good test for the Cougars since the Bears are also a young team. The game begins at 1:30 on the Regional High School field.

The sea bath, with motor-driven waves at the rate of two per second to beat off extra pounds painlessly was the star attraction. It is said to “wash away” as much as 35 pounds in a few weeks of 20-minute daily baths. It is a tank which fits into a bathtub.

RCA invites the public to witness a series of color television test programs on color receivers installed in the Center Theatre in Radio City, New York. Admission to the demonstrations will be by ticket, but you must send requests to the RCA building.

Baseball Playoffs – The New York Giants win their big game against Boston, but the Dodgers also win as Jackie Robinson saved a game and the pennant for the Dodgers after he blasted a home run in the 14th inning – giving Brooklyn a big win over Philadelphia 9-8.
