New Highway May Bypass East
Farewell
Turnpike Commission to Make
Announcement
East
Farewell- Sources at the Turnpike Commission have indicated that the new
Interstate may completely bypass East Farewell.
Other options on the table are to place an interchange near the town or
place Interchanges basically on either side of the town. It is generally thought that with the
railroad running right through the town there is no real need for the highway
interchange near the town. “It would
only add traffic and noise to this place, that is the last thing we need here,”
said Bernie
Talent, a local resident. Sue
Arnold, another resident echoed his opinion, “We really don’t need a lot of
outsiders coming here and littering up our streets.”
The Commission will meet at the end of the month to
hear citizens concerns, objections and suggestions concerning the highway. The opinion that the highway would not add to
the town’s fortunes is not universally held in town. “I think it is important that the highway
traffic has access to the town. We want
to promote the town and the more folks that come here the better it will be for
business,” said Tom Conally, Town Council President.
Natalie Mallard,
town resident also felt the town could use the extra points of view, “I just
came back from school for a short vacation and I think this town could use a
little jazzing up. I mean, this place
closes down after 6:00. If it wasn’t for
the Lost
Oasis there would be nothing to do.”
It seems the town is divided evenly on the issue. Many are discussing the issue over the dinner
tables and in the diner on Lake Shore
Drive.

Bedford-
The East Farewell Travelers squeaked by the Bear Creek on Thursday 1-0. “It wasn’t pretty but, a win is a win,” said
right fielder Ralph Francis. It’s seemed
neither team came to play on Tuesday; both were plagued with errors and
mistakes on the base path. The only
offensive highlight was another mammoth blast by centerfielder Johnny Cloos.
The Travelers went scoreless for six
innings, scattering five hits and getting two walks but leaving six runners
stranded on base and one thrown out attempting to steal. The Eagles fared no better only getting four
hits and three walks. Both teams had one
error. The defensive highlights were few
and far between. An excellent double
play turned by shortstop Dale Dunham, 2nd baseman, Arty Archibald to
1st base, Bobby Watson in the sixth was the one memorable defensive
play of the game.
The Travelers now enjoy a four game
lead over Bear Creek in the Eastern Division.
The 12 game streak is the longest since the 15 game run in 1950 during
the championship run. The next game is
Friday, again at the beautiful Bear Creek stadium at
4:30.

Union Shop Proposal Hinted in Steel Talks
PITTSBURGH <UP> —
Hints by CIO President Philip Murray that he would meet again today with top
steel officials indicated the industry might make a new proposal on the union
shop, major issue in the costly strike which has idled more than 1,000,000
workers.
Following the joint session yesterday, both sides in the
dispute which has staggered the nation’s economy held separate sessions. Murray, also president of the United
Steelworkers of America, declined to comment on that went on at the
conferences, but said it was “reasonable” to expect more negotiating today.
A belief that industry’s stand against the union shop
might be softening grew from a one-man change in the steel negotiators’ lineup.
Bethlehem Steel Vice President
Joseph Larkin replaced Republic Steel President Charles White, an outspoken
opponent of the union shop, which would require workers in the industry to join
the USW.
