EAST FAREWELL WINTER SOCIAL IS
A BIG HIT
“This is just a
wonderful event, all the lights, the music and dancers, the scenery and, oh,
the food was great!” gushed Natalie
Mallard. She was attending with
decorated Korean veteran Bill
Burger. Other attendees were Town Council President Tom Conally and his
wife, Brenda, Bernie
Talent and Sue Arnold who had recently announced their engagement. “Most of
the town seemed to be in attendance and a swell time was had by all!” laughed
Talent.
The dance floor was full for every
selection and there was even a group participation in the last Can-Can show. The
crowd stayed for the entire party which lasted until after 1:00 in the
morning. The Winter Social has been the
premier winter social event of the town since 1947. The evening was a magical
blend of music, dance, food and fun.

GUARDS FITZGERALD AND WELCH LEAD COUGARS TO
FIRST WIN
East Farewell- The Cougars opened their basketball season on
Saturday with a win over the Central Bears, 58-53. The game was controlled by
the Cougar backcourt of Ted Fitzgerald and Jimmy Welch who combined for 28 of
the Cougars total. More importantly,
they displayed a great command of the floor and directed the other team members
like they had played together for many years.
In reality, this is only the second season that the two have played
together. “We did work together over the
summer,” Welch said after the game, “we worked on our communication and some
signals, but Ted has such a great understanding of the game, I mean he really
knows the floor.”
The Cougars
jumped out to a 10-2 lead quickly with almost perfect outside shooting by the
two guards. Fitzgerald and Welch hit
five of their first six shots and the games tempo was set. With a dizzying display of ball handling and
smart passing the two continually confounded the Bears defense. It wasn’t until the second half that the
Bears were able the claw their way back to tie the Cougars at 40. The lead see-sawed back and forth for most of
the second half, but at never got beyond four points difference. With three minutes left in the second half
the Cougar’s forwards, Billy O’Donnell and Gene Green, really took charge and
scored ten straight points and put the game away.
“This was a
great win. We needed to start off strong
and start to build some confidence. This
is a long season and these boys are really committed to improving over last
season,” said Coach Wilson after the game.
The Cougars are looking to improve over their 9-7 record from last
season. Next weeks game is against the

MONROE SPEAKS TO GRAND JURY – 20th
CENTURY-FOX TRYING TO LURE FANS BACK TO THEATERS
Los Angeles-Taking the stand under oath in Los Angeles, actress Marilyn Monroe denies knowing two men who are later convicted on charges of sending come-on letters in efforts to sell lewd photographs purportedly made of Miss Monroe, of unlawfully using Miss Monroe’s name “for the purpose of selling nude and indecent pictures represented to have been posed by Marilyn Monroe.” The pretty actress examined some of the prosecution evidence including handwritten letters supposedly written and signed by her. One of them read in part - “A short time ago, two friends of mine and myself got together and took some pictures in almost every pose imaginable ... I feel that these pictures ... are worth more than the price I have found ordinary pictures are selling for.” The actress said her true name is Norma Jean Dougherty and that she took her professional name when she was signed by the studio in 1946.
20th Century-Fox proposes a double feature of movies and color television in its theaters as a way to lure fans out of their living rooms and back to the box office. The television portion would feature Broadway hit plays, sports events and special productions. The system would use a new system of color television known as the Eidophor (Greek for image bearer). The system, developed by Swiss scientists, uses the field of sequential color wheel developed by the Columbia Broadcasting System for its version of domestic color-TV. The studio says the production of the Eidophor projection machines is under way and should be available for use in about 18 months.
