IRON WORKS TALKS TO TOWN COUNCIL

---

East Farewell – The Iron Works management and the Town Council held meetings last week to discuss the Iron Works announcement of a possible move. The Town Council wanted more details and possible dates, if any, of the possible move. Before the meeting apprehension around town was extremely high and rumors were rampant. The Council was understandably concerned not only with the possibility of losing the largest employer and taxpayer in town but also losing a town icon. The Iron Works has been in town since the founding of East Farewell. In fact, it can be argued that the Iron Works was the reason that East Farewell existed at all. If the Iron Works were to leave a large part of the town would lose their employment. Not only the workers at the plant but also all the people that support the Iron Works in one way or the other.

The meetings were not open to the public but the meeting notes will be released early next week. Unofficial remarks have been that the Iron Works was only exploring options in case of an economic downturn. 

The current economic situation is very favorable for the Iron Works. They currently supply a large portion of the rails that are being used by the Mighty Keystone Railroad’s expansion to the west of East Farewell. The Iron Works has always been a main supplier to the railroad from its founding in 1913. It was specifically built by the railroad to accomplish this task. It was later sold to Charles Lumeier to avoid monopoly charges by the government.

The prevailing attitude from an informal survey by this paper shows that most people feel the Iron Works will stay and this is just a ploy to get a possible tax break. “The IW has always been here and it will always be here. Why would they leave?” said local restaurateur, Charles Wenz. “They are an integral part of the community and they will always be here.”

TRAVELERS GROUND EAGLES

---

Erie – The Travelers played their first road game against the Erie Eagles on Saturday and showed why they are the defending champs. They crushed the hapless Eagles 6-0. The Travelers took control early and starting pitcher, Joey Alfred, pitched the season’s first shutout. The Eagles were unable to get on the board and were only able to squeeze out 5 hits throughout the entire game. The Travelers scored two in the first with Cloos driving in Dimero with his fourth dinger. His blazing start set a league record; he is the first to hit four home runs this early in the season. The rest of the Travelers were not going to be left out, though, in the third Art Archibald and Billy Sweet were able to tag Eagles pitcher, Ray Felt, for a double and a single and then right fielder, Ralph Francis, smacked a base clearing triple but ended the inning there. Traveler’s defense also played a big part in keeping the Eagles at bay, they were able to turn three double plays to continually snuff out any threat posed by the Eagles. The Travelers finished the scoring in the eighth with another two run smash by catcher, Joey Brown. The team looked like they were in midseason form with this impressive showing. They will continue their road trip next week in Albany.

LOTS OF OIL – HAMMARSKJOLD RETURNS TO NYC – MAMIE GETS A SPECIAL TUNE – CARS ON A BEAM – CLIFT RETURNS – WINS TO RECREATE BALL GAMES

---

Plenty of oil - National petroleum reserves currently are the highest in U.S. history

U.N. Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold returns to a chorus of praise and certainty of Security Council approval for his Middle East negotiations on Israeli-Arab peace. 

Mrs. Mamie Eisenhower goes to a Congressional Club party and comes away “with a song in my heart.” The song, titled “Mamie,” was written especially for the club’s midday breakfast by Slim Willett of Abilene, Texas. He’s the composer of the Perry Como hit - “Don’t Let The Stars Get In Your Eyes.” “Just like a rainbow brightens a rainy day, Mamie can smile and her winning smile makes it a brighter day…” 

Henry Dreyfuss, a leading industrial designer says automobiles of the future will hover a few feet off the ground, and it will be possible for a motorist to reach a destination with that aid of “an IMB card which will keep you on the beam.” He predicted that it will be possible in the future ‘to talk a letter into a typewriter or dictating machine and get a neatly typed letter out the other end.” 

He dropped out of site for nearly 3 years. On May 12, 1953, Montgomery Clift completed work in the film, “From here To Eternity,” and went to New York and dropped out, as far as Hollywood was concerned. This week, he’s back in Hollywood and has begun work on MGM’s Civil War movie from the novel “Raintree County.” 

WINS, New York which normal broadcasts Yankee games, will re-create about 20 games of other major league teams when the New York team is not playing. The first will be next week with a broadcast of the Cleveland Indians-Boston Red Sox game at Boston. Re-creation consists of reading the plays form a wire ticker from the ballpark and presenting it moments later from the WINS studio.

AN OLD FASHIONED BARN RAISING – SORT OF

---

East Farewell – Although East Farewell is an established and growing town, it is still very much a farming community. The Mighty Keystone Railroad may be the reason the town exists but farmers have plowed their fields for many years before the train came through. In keeping with the farming traditions a local barn raising is not an unfamiliar event. Local neighbor farmers and their families would gather together to help “raise a barn for one of their own. The event was well planned, well executed and usually well attended. Last week a slightly modified “barn-raising” took place on Lake Shore Drive. While not a barn per-se, neighbors gathered on the property of James Farrell to replace his stable and groomsman quarters. The unique part of this event was the stable was a “kit” purchased from Sears and Roebuck Co. Farrell purchased the entire building from the catalog. It was delivered to East Farewell Station in railcars, transferred to flatbed trucks and delivered to his address. Farrell managed 10 neighbors as he read the directions. He did not have any heavy equipment to help set the walls or roof. The foundation had already been poured so there was an outline of where the building was going to stand. Step by step the walls were raised and secured. The roof trusses were raised by a group of strapping young workers who found the operation very amusing. The package was delivered at 7:45 in the morning and by 7:45PM the building was standing with a roof on top. The building was approximately 30’ X 50’.

            “This is great! All my family and friends came together today and we were able to put this barn up in nothing flat. The kids that helped with the roof were amazing. I just followed the directions and everyone just plugged everything in and smacked all the pieces together. Voila! All I have to do now is hook in the electric and the sewer, I already put in the connections in the foundation so that just hooking things up. This is great!” exclaimed Farrell while surveying the finished product.

            Sears and Roebucks have been selling kits since 1908 and officially stopped in 1942 but the small barns and sheds stayed in the catalog because they were much smaller, easier to ship and much less expensive. Farrell said his whole kit cost about $500, and included precut lumber, shingles, doors and windows, hardwood floors, nails and screws, and an instruction book,  it was shipped by rail, and arrived in personal train cars sealed with wax seals.

Erie – The Erie Eagles have had a tough season so far. Both their starting pitchers have been sidelined since early in the season and their shortstop, Joe Bagley, who was a golden glove last year broke his wrist. They also have had a slew of minor injuries that have kept the players from excelling. The Travelers did not care. They came into town to play baseball and whatever team the Eagles put out there they were going to play them. Billy Green took the mound and made short work of the Eagle lineup. He was flawless for the first four innings but seemed to get a little tired in the later innings. He let up three runs in the sixth and two in the ninth but that did not matter because the Travelers offense was in high gear and was not going to let Green down. In the first inning the Travelers started off against Eagle rookie pitcher, Sammy Gelenti, welcoming him to the pros with three runs scored. A leadoff single by Francis portended Gelenti’s trouble. That was flowed by a double by Dale. Gelenti was able to get Watson to ground out but Johnny Cloos knocked his 28^th homer off Gelenti’s second pitch. It was the first home run given up by the rookie. The Travelers were able to strike in the first, the third, two runs, the sixth, two runs and a massive explosion in the top of the ninth for five runs that included back to back homers by Watson and Cloos (his second of the day). The Travelers came into town looking for a win and they got one. They looked like a championship team and hope they can keep their momentum going as they travel to Slate Mountain next week to meet their arch rivals, the Slate Mountain Miners. The game is an evening game in beautiful Slate Mountain Stadium. The game begins at 7:05.

 CHURCHILL HAPPY WITH IKE MEETING – DISNEY TAKES A HELICOPTER TO WORK – FLANAGAN FINE FOR WALKING NUDE – NEW COLOR TV TUBE ANNOUNCED – BAD LUCK IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA – AT THE MOVIES

Just returning from the United States, Prime Minister Winston Churchill says he had not “entirely” ironed out his foreign policy disputes with President Eisenhower, but emphasized “nothing comes before the true and lasting friendship between Britain and the United States.” He’ll meet with the British Cabinet right away to discuss his meetings with President Eisenhower. “We hoped to be judged not only by the immediate reception of our efforts, but also by their influence on the future course of events and, after all, nothing comes before the true and lasting friendship between Britain and the United States... But I can tell you I am sure that by trying our best in the United States to make good understandings and solid agreements possible between us we have not entirely failed, but it would be a mistake to think everything can happen all at once.”

Bad luck - Richard Keenan (44) of Southern California, standing by the railroad tracks with his wife thought it was a good idea to slap passing boxcars as they went by.

SPRING FAIR MAKES A COMEBACK

---

East Farewell – The weather has been very spring like this month and that has not gone unnoticed by the Fun Pier owners, the Lendel family, who took advantage of the wonderful weather to open the Fun Pier for a sneak preview of the summer season. The Pier was opened on Friday night at the same time the Lakefront Plaza was filled with booths that restaurant and artist’s had set up for people to stroll and dine in the warm evening air. The Plaza was transformed into a wagon wheel with all the restaurants and food services around the outside and all the artists making up the spokes. In the center was a circular stage that had continuing entertainment throughout the night and all day Saturday and Sunday. It entertainment was also a bit of a preview of the Arts Festival that will be held in August.

            This was a resurrection of sorts for the Spring Festival. It was not held last year mainly due to poor, cold weather. While there was no official announcement of the Festival word spread quickly around town and all the restaurants and performers were pretty much ready to go and all the artists jumped in and helped each other out setting up their booths and the stage. By 7:00 on Friday night Town Council President, Tom Connelly, and Pier Director, Sam Lendel officially opened the Lakefront Plaza/ Fun Pier for 1959. On Saturday morning things got going by 9:00 and went on well into Saturday night. The only slow time was between 1 and 3 when the crowds diminished due to a Travelers home game, once the game was over the crowds returned even brighter and happier thanks to a Traveler victory. Sunday saw a full day of people riding the rides on the Fun Pier, eating at the different restaurant stalls, browsing through the all the different artist stalls and listening to great, varied music on the center of the Plaza.

TRAVELERS GROUND THE EAGLES

---

East Farewell – The high-flying Travelers were able to soar higher than the Erie Eagles on Saturday with a convincing 6-2 win. The Travelers built on their strong offensive play using their newly discovered base running expertise and their hot bats to outpace the Eagles. The Eagles, on the other hand, have started slower than other teams in the league this season and are currently 3 and 5 on the young season.

            The beautiful spring weather brought out a sold out crowd many making the short walk over from the Lakefront Plaza where the Spring Fair was taking place. A happy, friendly crowd just made it easier for the Travelers. They started off quickly, as they have been doing lately, by scoring twice in the second. The middle of the order took the credit for this first assault, Tony Dimero singled and stole second then Joey Brown moved him to third with a perfect bunt. Art Archibald drove both of them in with a well-placed double off a 3-2 fastball from Eagles pitcher, Hank Benson. Benson threw a fairly good game only giving up ten hits but they were all grouped together and produced runs. The Travelers were able to tag Benson in the fourth and eighth for two runs in each inning. Johnny Cloos was able to add to his rapidly expanding homerun total by smacking another in the eighth driving in Bobby Watson to seal the win.

            The Eagles were able to work Danny Lane for eight hits and were able to score two runs, one in the third and one in the eighth. It was not enough to stop the Travelers but Lane was not happy about his performance. “I couldn’t get into a real rhythm out there today. I was all over the place with my fastball. I’m going to have to get this back in order before next week,” he said with frustration after the game.

            Next week the Travelers go on the road to visit Monticello and take on the Vikings. The Vikings are only in their third year of existence but have jumped out to a very good start for the season, they are currently 6-1 on the season and have showed a lot of pop in their offense and have been fielding a very strong defense. The game will be an evening game in the beautiful Monticello Stadium starting at 7:30PM.

HOFFA THREATENS NATIONAL STRIKE – CASTRO FINDS LOTS OF PESOS – KHRUSHCHEV CRITICAL OF WESTERN PEACE PLAN

---

James Hoffa, president of Teamsters Union threatens a nationwide strike of all labor if Congress harnesses unions with anti-trust laws. “We can call a primary strike all across the nation that will straighten out the employers for once and for all”

In Havana, Cuba - Government officials announce the discovery of more than half a million dollars’ worth of pesos in a safe deposit box belonging to the company formed to operate the gambling casino in the Hilton Hotel there. The government froze all of the money except for a sum sufficient to pay the salaries of employees to permit continued operation of the casino.

Premier Khrushchev says the western plan for Germany laid down at Geneva “contains some matters which are worthy of examination and which we shall not oppose.” In a Kremlin speech accepting the Lenin peace prize, he called the western proposal a “so-called peace plan” because there was no peace behind it. He accused the West at Geneva of trying to provoke the Soviet Union into sharp criticism.

SWIM ACROSS THE LAKE HAS CLOSE CALL

---

East Farewell - The 3^rd annual Swim Across The Lake had a close call on Saturday that has prompted changes in the rules, eligibility and monitoring. The very popular event has grown each year and this year there were over 125 entrants and a record 80 racers started at the cannon’s boom. Race founder’s Hugh Reston and Frank Dunlap were once again in the driver’s seat for this event. They supervised all the prerace advertising, established the four different signup spots throughout town, and took care of manning those spots. They also organized the setup of the swim lanes and organizing the flotilla of spectator and first-aid boats that lined the lanes. This year those boats played a very important part of the race when the youngest swimmer, Joey Sewell, began to struggle about half way across the lake. First-aid boat #4 manned by registered life guards Hal Feldman and Steve Ross quickly steered to the edge of the lane where Ross leapt into the water and grabbed the flailing Sewell. Feldman brought the small boat right into the lane and hauled Sewell in helped by Ross. Once in the boat Feldman was able to administer mouth to mouth resuscitation while Ross headed the boat back to shore where Sewell was attended to by Dr. Cashman and the onsite medical team also recruited by Dunlap and Reston. Sewell was treated and released to his family.

            The race was not affected by Ross and Feldman’s heroics only two other swimmers were close to Sewell when got into trouble. The rest of the group was spread across the lake. Once again Raleigh Beach was the finish line and Frank Logan, president of N.U.D.E., was on the beach, surprisingly, wearing a bathing suit and greeting the swimmers. The beach is owned by the N.U.D.E. organization, a local nudist group that has a retreat five miles down the road. Mr. Logan is not only the president of N.U.D.E. he is also the de-facto community interaction representative for the organization. He represents the organization when interaction with the “outside community is needed.

            The large group of swimmers this year made for a very crowded field but in the end one winner. The 2.7 miles were covered by David Wilson, 22, a college student and member of the school’s swim team. Wilson is a summer resident and his family has been coming to Lake Charles for many years. He has swum in every race but this is the first time he even came in in the first ten. He made the crossing in a record 1 hour 29 minutes. He broke Robbie Jenkins record by a minute. The female winner was Joan Early last year’s runner up. She finished with a personal best of 1 hour 32 minutes. Race founders Dunlap and Reston finish very respectfully at fifth and eighth (Dunlap, Reston). Out of the 80 racers that started 62 finished, crowding Raleigh Beach to capacity and causing Mr. Logan to try to herd the group onto the road back to the Lakefront Plaza and away from any inquiring eyes.  The participants eventually made their way back to the Lakefront Plaza and there was an informal ceremony where ribbons were awarded for first second and third place.

            Young Sewell’s predicament brought about some proposed changes to the requirements for entry to the race Reston and Dunlap announced on the Lakefront Plaza after the ceremony. The exact changes have yet to be defined but the age is going to be raised and a swimming requirement will be put in place. Both Dunlap and Reston were extremely relieved the young Sewell was not seriously injured and were very thankful to both Mr. Ross and Mr. Feldman for their quick thinking and fast action.

            Next year’s race may have a different look but it is expected to be just as much fun. If trends continue there will have to be even wider lanes and a larger ending beach.

Raleigh Beach is full at the end of the race

TRAVELERS GROUND EAGLES

---

East Farewell – The Travelers extended their winning streak on Saturday when they brought the high flying Erie Eagles down to earth with a 5-1 thumping. The score could have been worse for the Eagles but after the Travelers scored their fifth run in the fifth the Eagles put in reliever Joe Galliano who was able to stop the run scoring machine. Galliano was able to pitch four scoreless innings and allowed only three hits.

            The Travelers were able to do all their damage in the first five innings with big blasts by Johnny Cloos and Dale Dunham. Both homers were multiple run drives and accounted for all the Traveler’s runs. The Travelers were able to capitalize on several singles and work the offense to set themselves up for their big hitters. The defense was also outstanding. They were able to turn three double plays and keep the Eagles off base, stymieing any possible offensive threat.

            The home stand has been good for the Travelers, winning all three games played during the home stand. They have one more home game before they start an extended road trip though the late mid-season. Next week the Travelers will host the Monticello Vikings beginning at 1:30 in the ballpark. The Vikings are starting to show strong signs of improvement after their disastrous debut season and are now right in the middle of the pack in league standings.

NAUTILUS SAILS UNDER THE NORTH POLE – MEANY CALLS FOR TEAMSTER REVOLT – MILLER VERDICT OVERTURNED – HOUSE INCREASES SOCIAL SECURITY BY 7%

---

The White House discloses that the Nautilus, the world’s first nuclear-powered submarine has crossed the top of the world, traveling below the arctic icecap. The sub cruised arctic some 400 feet below the surface. The feat was disclosed at a White House ceremony where President Eisenhower awarded the ship’s commander, Comdr. William Anderson, the nation’s highest peacetime decoration.

President George Meany calls on “honest and decent” elements in the teamsters Union to rebel against Union Chief James R. Hoffa and throw him out of office. At the same time, Meany condemned any alliances between AFL-CIO member organizations and the Teamsters.

The U.S. court of appeals overturns the conviction and orders a judgment of acquittal for playwright Arthur Miller, husband of Marilyn Monroe. The case grew out of Miller’s refused to tell the House Committee on Un-American Activities in 1956, the names of Communist writers with whom he acknowledged attending meetings in 1947. Marilyn Monroe celebrated with a champagne breakfast and a long telephone call to her mate.

The House approves a bill to raise the Social Security checks of 11,800 beneficiaries by 7%.
