NEW LIBRARY TO BE BUILT ON
LAKESHORE DRIVE
East Farewell – A new library will be built on Lakeshore Drive
with construction beginning within weeks. The new building to be constructed on
a vacant parcel next to Mallard’s
boarding house will replace to current library on Main
Street. The new building will be bigger and house additional space for the
up and coming “new” media”. Most of the funds for construction will come from
the Carnegie Foundation and the Federal and State governments. “We are very
excited to commence this project and are thankful for all the generous support
we have received from the Carnegie Foundation and the government. We are
looking forward to an up-to-date facility that will serve the community for
many years to come,” said Library Board President, S. Henry Carson at the
ribbon cutting ceremony.
The library in
an integral part of the town’s
persona, almost everyone has a library card and it is constantly used by
townsfolk for research, entertainment and keeping abreast with current events.
There are many students, of all grades, often found among the stacks working on
papers or just looking for an interesting read.
The new library
will have a special area designated for “new media” meaning radio and television;
a movie section will also be included. Members will be able to research those
topics in depth and there will be “viewing areas” available. The size and
extent of the “new media” section is still being determined.
“This new
building will be a great asset to the town and everyone in the area,” said Mrs.
Mallard, whose boarding house will be located next to, “I can’t wait. I am
a big fan of the library.”

SPORTS
COUGARS LOOKING FOR FIRST WIN
Central City – The Cougars went into
Central City to play the Bears on Saturday. They were looking for their first
win of an early season. They were disappointed with a 21-7 humbling defeat to a
clearly superior Bears team.
The
Bears came on strong from the beginning, scoring on their first drive with a
crushing ground attack that consumed the first seven minutes. The drive was
completed with a bruising center plunge by Bear halfback Germaine Hunter
following fullback Tyson Black. The Cougars had no answer to the Bear ground
attack led by Black and Hunter along with quarterback Joe Fulton. The Bears did
not pass in the first half. Halftime came with the Bears on top 14-0.
The Cougars came out in the second
half determined to not be shutout. The offense showed some spark with an
impressive aerial game using Mitch “Merc” McMaster for continuous gains and
finally ending in a score late in the third quarter. Quarterback Joe McKay had
his hands full with Bears rush but was able to get the ball off quickly enough
to McMaster so he was only sacked twice in the second half, as opposed to four
times in the first.
The Bears wore down the Cougars
defense and score once more in the closing part of the fourth quarter bring the
final score to 21-7.
“This wasn’t our best game. I have
to give credit to the other team, they played a very strong game and have some
top notch runners, but we were off our game and it showed. We will have to get
better next week,” said Coach Burcowitz after the game.
The Cougars fortunes will not look
any brighter next week when they face the Corning Devils at home. Corning is
currently leading the league in wins and has yet to give up more than 7 points
a game. The game begins at 1:30 on Regional High Field.

Sid Caesar will return to NBC-TV September 27, but without Imogene Coca. “It was just a case of being associated too long. We’re still great friends but halfway through last season, each of us agreed we’d probably be better off going our separate ways. Time will tell whether we were right or wrong. Personally, I feel we all made the right decision at the right time.”
In Montgomery, Al – the late Hank Williams is saluted in a special tribute in a two-day affair. Roy Acuff, Hank Snow and Ernest Tubb were the star liners. Also on the bill were Minnie Pearl, The Carter Family, Pee Wee King, Grandpa Jones, Ray Price and Marty Robbins. MGM Records is issuing a special Williams’ album for the occasion.
The Four Lads run into a problem. They were barred from appearing on Maggi McNellis’ WABC-TV show because they showed up at the studio not wearing ties. Somebody offered to lend them one, so at least one could appear on the show. They said no – they all had to appear – so somebody cut the tie into four pieces - and four bowties were made.
