IRON WORKS
ANNOUNCES 150 NEW OPENINGS ON EXTRA SHIFT
East Farewell- The Iron Works announced on
Wednesday that there will be 150 new jobs created by the starting of a new,
over-night, shift. The new shift will
mean the foundry will be operating 24 hours a day. The new shift was necessitated by the
increase in the amount of orders flowing into the plant. A new contract with the railroad was agreed
upon last month and just signed last week.
The order is for rails, switches and other transport related items The
Iron Works already produces these items and supplies several railroads across
the country.
“This
is wonderful news for the Iron Works and the town of East
Farewell,” said Walter Warren, spokesman for the Iron Works, “We look
forward to filling these positions with any local residents that would care to
apply.” The unemployment rate in East
Farewell is very low but anyone wishing to apply should go to the Iron Works
main office,
The
Iron Works has been in East Farewell for 25 years and has been a major employer
in town since it located here in 1927.
One of the reasons for East Farewell being chosen was the town’s
location on the mighty Keystone Railroad Northeastern line. The railroad purchased rails and other
essential items for the completion of its westward expansion towards
East Farewell

SPORTS
COUGARS SQUEAK BY RIVERVIEW
WILDCATS 21-20
Riverview- The Cougars met the Riverview Wildcats on Friday in a
game to decide first place in the Mountain League. The Cougars prevailed 21-20. The defense came up with the winning play by
blocking an extra point in the fourth quarter and stifling a late game surge by
the Cats. The extra point was blocked by
junior defensive end, Shamus McKeaon with 3 minutes left in the game. He was able to blast in from the right side
and smothered the attempt by kicker Johnny Boyle. This ended what was looking like a miracle
comeback by the Wildcats who played well beyond anyone’s expectations. This ended what was looking like a miracle
comeback by the Wildcats who played well throughout the game but were
especially strong in the second half.
While this was only their second loss this season it was far and away
their best game so far.
The Cougars
offense was led by the increasingly impressive combination of quarterback Billy
O’Conner and wide receiver Phil Flynn.
Together they account for all three of the Cougar’s scores. The first came early in the first quarter
with a bit of razzle-dazzle as O’Conner pulled a beautiful sleight of hand,
faking a handoff to fullback “Moose” Boyle, rolling out to the right and
passing back across the field to a wide open Flynn who scampered for a 15 yard
score. The second came from another
O’Conner to Flynn toss, for ten yards over the middle at the end of the second
quarter. The last was in the fourth
quarter when O’Conner completed a very impressive 40 yard bomb to Flynn. Charlie Cox continued his
kicking mastery by completing all the extra points.
The
Wildcats were held scoreless in the first half more due to the five penalties
than a lack of offense. Whenever they
got within the 20 yard line they suffered a penalty that pushed them out of
scoring range. They fared much better in
the second half. The offense was lead by
quarterback John Cappelli and fullback Louis Castelli. Together they scored twice in the third
quarter and orchestrated a masterful drive that resulted in a two yard run by
Castelli with 3:02 left in the game. The
game looked like it was headed for overtime until McKean rushed in to block the
extra point. The Cougars were able to
run the clock out and secure the win.
The
Cougars record now stands 5-1 and they are alone in first place in the league. The next game is Saturday at home
against the Fort Lee Captains at 1:30.
