EISENHOWER MAKES SURPRISE STOP IN EAST FAREWELL - TOWN WELCOMES PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE

---

East Farewell- Presidential candidate and war hero Dwight D. Eisenhower made a surprise lunch stop in East Farewell on Wednesday.  He was traveling by train from New York to Chicago and made several surprise stops in towns along the route.  While most were just whistle stops, his stay in East Farewell included lunch at the Lost Oasis and a brief speech in the town square.  The arrangements for the speech were hastily made since town officials found out about the schedule only one day in advance.  Regardless, they were able to put together a wonderful program and were aided by fine weather.  General Eisenhower stopped in the Lost Oasis for lunch and by all accounts he enjoyed the meal immensely.  He ordered a house specialty; The Big Burger.  “I severed under General Eisenhower in WWII and it was an honor to serve him today,” gushed Lost Oasis cook, Joe Wilson.  Wilson was a cook in the 28^th Infantry Division and saw action during the D-Day invasion of France in 1944.  The general showed his appreciation of Wilson by touring his kitchen and shaking his hand. 

“Napoleon said an army travels on its stomach and the services of Sgt. Wilson and others like him helped bring the war to a successful conclusion.  I am glad to see he has built on his army training and was impressed and very satisfied with the meal he served me.  The people of East Farewell are very lucky to have his talent here.”   The General’s meal consisted of a very large beef hamburger with cheese and crisp bacon on a fresh baked bun with lettuce, tomato and a raw onion along with a side of deep fried potatoes and a Coca-Cola.

The General then made his way over to the town Square for a brief speech in which he spoke of his vision of an interstate highway system that would connect all the major cities in the country and would be vital for economic advancement and national security.  He did not mention the proposed highway department decision to leave East Farewell off the exit list for the new highway proposed for cross-state traffic.  He also spoke of his familiarity with the area, being from Gettysburg, to the south.  After the speech he boarded his train and waved from the last car as he headed off toward Chicago.

COUGARS MAKE IT THREE IN A ROW

---

East Farewell- The Cougars routed Corning High 27-0 last week as quarterback, Billy O’Conner took the hapless Devils to touchdown school with three passing scores and one running score.  The passing scores were all to wide receiver Phil Flynn and the running score came from a 15 yard run from a handoff to younger brother Jimmy.  The Cougars dominated the game and held the Devils to only 5 first downs in the first half and 8 first downs in the second.  The Devils only advanced as far as the Cougar 18 yard line in their offensive campaigns.

Charlie Cox suffered his first miscue of the season as he hooked the last extra point attempt late in the third quarter.  The Cougars travel to Slate Mountain next week to meet the Slate Mountain Canaries.  The Canaries will be hosting their Homecoming game and the contest is expected to be a real brawl as both teams a picked to top the division.

TRUMAN DEDICATES FIRST ATOMIC SUB – DO WE HAVE THE H-BOMB? – DRIVE-IN MOVIES VERY POPULAR

---

Groton - President Truman dedicates the nation’s first atomic-powered submarine at Groton - The USS Nautilus. Truman declared only Soviet Russia stands in the way of the development of atomic energy to provide power for business, farms and homes everywhere. He disclosed that a full-sized, working atomic engine - a self-contained power plant able to run almost indefinitely without refueling - is nearly complete

Washington- Do we really have it? - Senator Brien McMahon proposes the manufacture of 1000 or more “hydrogen weapons” in what appeared by many to be a plain indication the United States has solved the secret of the fearsome H-bomb.

Once looked down as “passion pits” - drive-in movie theaters are more popular than ever. Currently, there are some 3,835 such theaters in the U.S. – an increase of 25% since the end of World War II and indications are that there will be more next year. The state of Texas has the most so far with 339 drive-in theaters. North Carolina is second with 259. California has 227 screens and New York - 103.

HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT TO LOOK AT BYPASS LOCATION AGAIN

---

East Farewell- The Highway Department has said it will take another look at the proposed locations of the exits on the new highway that will cross the entire state and on into Ohio.  Requests have been presented to the Department to locate an exit near East Farewell and also near Mountain Pass.  These two locations were not included in the original plan.  It is widely believed that having an exit near a town will boost the economics in the town.  Since the proposed highway will be a limited access highway, meaning there will only be on and off ramps at specified locations, only a limited number exits will be placed on the highway.  The project is a major operation that is on the scale of public works that hasn’t been seen since the Great Depression.   

            It is important for East Farewell to have an exit near it.  The Town Council feels that unless the town has easy access to major cities like New York and Chicago the town will lose its “Destination Location” label.  The owners of the Iron Works have also expressed interest in having an alternate shipping route to complement the railroad.  The council filed a request with the Highway Department to place an exit near the town but it was denied in the first draft of the proposal.  When the department meets next week it will be presented with another request by the council to relook at the location of the proposed exits.

            “We feel that this is very important to the future of the town.  We are doing fine right now but you have to keep an on the future.  Looking down the road, no pun intended, we have to make sure East Farewell does not lose its vitality and economic base,” said Ralph Watson, East Farewells Business Director.  Some other opinions have been expressed by some of the townspeople. 

            “Why do we need more tourists anyway?  I don’t want to open up this town to more outsiders, the way things are now are wonderful,” said Bernie Smith, a local resident.  Many others expressed similar opinions.  It seems the town is fairly split on this issue, half being in favor and half against.  One thing is certain, everyone has an opinion.

COUGARS WIN AGAIN

---

East Farewell- The Cougars were victorious again this week when they played the Central Bears.  The final score was 21-14.  The Cougars used a balanced attack of short passes and powerful runs to score against a very strong defense from Central.  Senior Quarterback Billy O’Conner threw 15 passes with 10 completions.  The longest toss was 15 yards to wide receiver Phil Flynn for a score in the second quarter.  Johnny “Moose” Boyle shouldered most of the running tasks for a total of 98 yards and a third quarter score.  The final Cougar score was a fourth quarter screen pass, Billy threw to his younger brother, Jimmy who scampered for a seven yard run to the end zone.  The pass capped off a punishing drive fueled by gritty four and five yard runs by Boyle that ate up eight minutes of the fourth quarter.  Charlie Cox was perfect in his extra point attempts.

            The Bears showed some offensive prowess during the second quarter, scoring on a wonderfully executed end around by halfback Joe Gentile.  Bears Quarterback Louis Holmes was able to complete 8 out of 16 passes including a 29 yard bomb to wide out Tom Manley which resulted in their second score.  The Bears had two different kickers, Steve James and Sidney Smith each kicked one extra point to finish off the scoring for the Bears.
