Tony Angelo
Describes Attack
/
On .Monday evening the Evan-eli'
.’j T“- decisively overthrew the
Lii'tMdns and thus remained un-det-.;
i/,'-cl in the second half of the
Sun-day School Softball League.
The ®vans have only one more
game 'to play and cannot he over­taken
by any of their rivals even
if they lose next Thursday in the
final game of the baseball season
wile the Moravians, the second-place
team.
Playing with the confidence of
the chetmipions they are, the Evans
scored, early and were never hard
pressed by the Lutherans in a
game that featured circus catches
in the outfield by “-Ellie” Kreider
and the steady pitching of George
-Kling, who showed that he is
equally as efficient on the mound
as he -has been behind the plate
in past encounters.
The following is the box score:

An attack in which he and his
) outfit were bombed by 27 German
plans is described in a letter re-
I ceived this week from Tony An­gelo,
former assistant chef at the

j “It was the real thing,” Angelo
I declared. “I must say that at first
II was a bit scared but we soon were
! so busy that we forgot to think
; about that.”
| Angelo also is able to carry on
- conversatons with Italian prison-i
era and has been able to pick up
| enough French to converse with
French soldiers, he explained. The

kind is highly productive and gives

Opinions Concerning The Lan­caster
R-oses—-As this story is ¡be­ing
written the Lancaster Roses
are in the midst of a slump and
fans hereabout are becoming more!
than excited as they watch the
Roses’ lead decrease day by day.
Only a few days ago Lancaster
looked like a certain winner,
especially after having knocked
down Wilmington decisively when
Wilmington challenged for the
league leadership. Next came
Hagerstown and if Lancaster oo-ald
have handed out the same K. O.
punch to this challenger, Lancas­ter
would now be way out in the
driver’s seat. Hagerstown, how_
ever, showed steady pitching and
-timely hitting in the recent series
with the Roses and are now virtu­ally
stepiping on the heels of the
Roses and are accelerating their
pace.
If the -Roses fall to hold the
lead and eventually lose the
championship, all the blame must
go to ¡Bill Cowdrick, business
manager of the Roses. Manager
Wheaton has been yelling for
some pitchers ever since the sea­son
-began, but Cowdrick hasn’t
spent a dime for a pitcher al­though
the loyal fans have sup­ported
the club from the begin­ning
oi the season even after the
owners embarrassed -them by so-licting
other cities in Pennsyl­vania
for the franchise. With all
the money the Roses have taken
in at the gate this year Cowdrick
could have bought several depend­able
pitchers and wouldn’t have
had to depend on players sent out

$78, Proceeds From
Sale Of Scrap
Chrsitmas may seem a long way
off—but not too long to begin
planning as far as our service men
are concerned.
This was the spirit shown dur­ing
a meeting of the Lititz Service
Association this week when work
cf preparing 600 Christmas pack­ages
for our men and women in the
service, was started.
The packages will be maled in
plenty of time so that those sta­tioned
in even the most-distant out­posts
will receive their yuletide
cheer from home in plenty of time,
according to plans made.
The Christmas packages will
contain a pound of candy, a can of
salted nuts and a Christmas favor.
A Christmas card also will be en­closed.
The Association announced the
receipt of a gift of $78 from the
Morgan Paper Company repres­enting
the proceeds from the sale
of salvaged materials from the lo­cal
plant. This money will be us­ed
to help pay the costs of the
Christmas packages.
The regular monthly packages
were mailed. These contained
shaving cream and a handkerchief.
Lititz’ next paper and rag col­lection,
to be held next Tuesday
evenng, August 24, got off to a
pi e-drive spurt here this week when
cne farmer hauled in more than
800 pounds of paper from Lexing­ton.
Several other nearby farmers al­so
have signified their willingness
to contribute varying amounts of
both paper and r a . to the drive
and it is expected tha more than
a ton of salvaged materials will be
eu hand before the scheduled col­lection
starts Tuesday, Christ Nis-sly,
local salvage chairman, de­clared.
Farmers, factories and local
business places with quantities of
pi per and rags to turn in to the
local salvage effort are asked to
get in touch with Mr. Nissly, bring
the goods to the Lititz Furniture
Company, 10 E. Front Street, or
to O. K. Bushong, Reading Rail­way
Freght Station,
The collection from' house-to-house
in the borough will start
promptly at 6 P. M. Tuesday even­ing
and will be done by local Boy
Scouts. The use of a large num­ber
of trucks has been promised
to make this collection possible.
-Paper should be tied up in bun­dles
and rags should be placed in
bags or cardboard cartons, it was
explained.

The death of Brother Albert O.

recollections of events of years
ago. How well do I remember
the day that J . Frank Buch intro­duced
the RECORD employees to
Mr. Beitel who was looking for a
printer who could speak Pennsyl­vania
German to manage his new

Ab, as he was known to all of us,

well he succeeded is a matter of
common knowledge. Not only as
a fellow co-worker but as a fellow

willing to give friendly ad­vice
to some of the younger mem­bers,
many of whom have passed
to the Great Beyond. His demise
is a distinct loss to the -church, the

Miss Young

Gunner’s Mate William R. Am-me,
son of Mr. and Mrs. William
E. Amme of 532 East Front St.,
figures that Friday the Thirteenth
will forever be his lucky day.
Amme arrived home on furlough
yesterday for the first time -since
before Pearl Harbor and saw plen­ty
of action during the very first
days of the war aboard a “PT”
boat, one of the speedy craft which
slowed up the intitial Jap assault
and enabled MacArthur to reach
Australia.
In a telegram he sent home
shortly after the outbreak of the
war he informed his parents that
Friday the Thirteenth was his lucky
day. Explaining this telegram
upon his arrival here, Amme de­clared
that on Friday the Thir­teenth
his “PT” boat had success­fully
dodged two Jap torpedoes—
by inches.
Although reluctant to discuss
the many campaigns in which he
has participated, service bars on
his uniform revealed that he had
seen action in the American theat­re
of War, the Western Frontier
and the Southwest Pacific War
Zone. He also wears a star indi­cating
that his war experiences
began ,with the day Pearl Harbor
was bombed.
The second Friday the Thirteen­th
which Amme considers a red
letter day was that of last week
when he was able to telegraph his
párente here that he was return­ing
home on furlough. He will
remain here until August 27.
The PT boats on which Amme
served during the opening days of
the war were made famous by the
recent best-seller, “They Were Ex­pendible.”
The local schools will open for
the Fall term on Tuesday, Sept.
7, members of the school board
decided at a meeting held Wednes­day
evening.
Members decided against anl de­lay
in re-opening schools despite
several vacancies on the local
teaching staff caused by indue»
rions into the service and resigna­tions.
While demand for farm labor
from among the student body is
much less than in some districts,
members of the board decided that
those needed on farm or who have
been working on perishable food­stuffs
such as the local canning
factory can be given permission to
remain at their jobs several addi­tional
weeks.
The board accepted two resigna­tions
and announced the appoint­ment
of two new teachers. Those
who resigned are Anna Mary Herr,
music supervisor and Jane Har­rison,
girls’ physical educational
director.
Miss Hazel Hunt, of Lambert-ville,
N. J., was appointed girls’
physical educational director to
succeed Miss Harrison. Miss Ruth
N. Frantz, of Millersville, who has
taught for several years at Mar­ietta,
was appointed second grade
teacher. i
Vacancies remaining to be filled
are those of geography teacher in
the Seventh and Eighth grades to
fill the vacancy caused by the in­duction
of Wilbur Kready, who will
leave for the Navy Friday; music
supervsor and possibly that of
boys’ physical educational direc­tor
if Harold Reese is inducted
within the next few weeks.
At least a dozen new teachers
will be included in the faculty when
classes re-open.
The Lititz Community Show As­sociation
again was granted per­mission
to use the gymnasium for
its exhibits.
1,000 Attend

Approxmately 1,000 persons at­tended

was the playing of a new composi­tion
of Mr. Lutz’ which he dedi­cated
o the memory of Richard
Wentling, local youth who gave
his life for his country.
The local Victory Chorus, which
made such a fine impression here
at the annual Christmas party,
will present a program Sunday
evening, August 29 as a benefit for
the local service association. Dur­ing
the afternoon, a musical pro­gram
will be presented by Ralph
