ARMISITCE DAY CELEBRATED IN EAST FAREWELL
East
Farewell – Armistice Day was celebrated on Thursday in town with a memorial
service at the Lake Shore Drive War Memorial. The service was attended by many
honored veterans from World War I, WW2 and the Korean War. Tommy Flynn, the town’s
oldest surviving vet (from WWI) was the guest of honor and other honorees were
presented with keys to the town which will entitle them to free dining in
restaurants and free services offered across town. Most of the honorees will
only partake in the free food. The service was tailored for the afternoon
setting so the high school band could be present and play some military music. An
honor guard from the High School ROTC Squad fired a rifle salute to the vets
and in honor of those who had paid the ultimate price. Also, there was a sole
bugler on the hill beyond the memorial who played taps in memorial to the
fallen. The bugler was sophomore, Warren Daly.
After the ceremony there was a small luncheon for the honorees and their families. The food and drink was supplied by the local restaurant, Duffy’s. Everyone was invited to attend there were tables and chairs set up around the Lakefront Plaza and lights were strung around the Plaza and the evening was filled with great food and popular music supplied by local bandleader, Gus Templeton and his slimmed down orchestra which was basically a quintet with Les playing the piano.
Lately Armistice Day has been called Veterans Day but either way is the special day we all take to remember our heroes, local or national, living and passed, and thank them for their service.

SPORTS
COUGARS GROUND HAWKS
East Farewell – The Cougars got back on the winning
track on Saturday with a 21-10 win over the struggling Southport Hawks. The
Cougars took charge early and held control throughout the game. In the fourth
quarter with the game well in hand Coach Burcowitz put in the second team that
resulted in the Hawks getting their final field goal. “The second team really
showed they knew how to play,” Burcowitz said after the game, “They played
tough and stopped that determined Hawks team and forced them to kick a field
goal. They almost blocked that, too.”
The
game started with the Cougars receiving the kickoff and the very speedy Joey
Fox returning the kickoff all the back to the Hawks 48. Billy O’Conner started
off on the ground giving the ball Shamus O’Donnell who ran for a quick 8 yards.
The Cougars stayed on the ground and moved the ball all the way down to the
Hawks six. O’Conner then went to air dropping flair out pass to Phil Flynn who
scooted in for the score on the Cougars first procession. Charlie Cox added the
extra point. The Hawks tried valiantly but they had a difficult time moving the
ball in past the Cougars 30. Their defense did rise up and seemed to grow
stronger as the game went on. The Cougars were able to score once more before
the end of the half on a beautiful end run by Joey Fox. The half ended with the
Cougars ahead 14-0. The third quarter had the Cougars in almost complete
control of the ball holding onto it for 8 of the 12 minutes in the quarter.
Even though they dominated the clock control the Cougars were only able to
score once in the quarter and surprisingly the Hawks were able to score when
Hawks defensive back, Chuck Bellows, grabbed an errand O’Conner pass all the
way back at the Cougars twenty four and Bellows with an open field, ran back
his interception for a score.
The
fourth quarter started with the score 14-7 but the Cougars came right back
after the interception-score with a long, hard hitting drive of their own and
scored on their first procession of the fourth quarter. They again seemed to
have control and eat up the clock. The stiff Hawks defense would not give in
though and they kept the Cougars off scoreboard. The clock wound down to three
minutes and Coach Burcowitz put in the second team. The Hawks did move the ball
but not as much as they would have liked and as time ran down they set up for a
15 yard field goal with 30 seconds left on the clock. “I talked to Coach
Randell (Hawks coach) after the game and he said he went for the field goal
because he wanted his boys to get some points for all the work they put in on
that last drive. I’m OK with that,” said Coach Burcowitz after the game.
The Cougars stay at home next week when they meet their arch-rival, the Slate Mountain Miners, for the second time this season. The Cougars won the first meeting 14-7 but the Miners have improved greatly through out the season so this should be a very good game. The game begins at 1:30 on Saturday at Regional High School field.

The U.S. 8th Army charged the Reds in acts of “barbarism unique even in the Communist world,’ have killed about 5500 Americans and 290 other prisoners of war.

Supreme-allied commander Gen Matthew Ridgway orders a full investigation of the story of Communist slaughter of allied war prisoners released this week by an 8th army legal officer.

Communist broadcasts fill the air with bitter new charges of allied atrocities in Korea, casting a pall over the recessed truce talks at Panmunjom.
