WoodCutters Toss
Bottle at Tree;
And Il Goes Boom

RICHMOND, April 7.-Echoes
Of Mais and Legenza and the
bombed Club Forest resounded
through the Goochland and upper
Henrico hills when Negroes, cut
ting lumber near the site Of the
old night club, tossed a whisky
bottle, partly filled with liquid,
against a tree.
The explosion ratified dishes in
a half-mile area and injured two
of the wood-cutterS.
The partly-filled bottle had con-
tanned nitroglycerine. The wood
cutters found the bottle at the
base of a tree. They did not drink
it, because it didn't smell like
whisky, and then they tried it as
oil on their saws, but it did not
help. The tree today looks like
lightning struck it, and the lum-
bermen waited nearly three hours
before they could hear.
The Club Forest was destroyed
by an explosion and subsequent
fire shortly after it had been
brought into the police investiga-
ton of the once notorious Tri-
State gang, headed by Robert
Mais and Walter LegenZa. They
were employed at times as official
"bouncers," and made the club
their headquarters prior to the
Huband murder here two years
ago. Their subsequent apprehen-
sion for that crime, spectacular es-
cape from the Richmond Jail, and
final electrocution in the Virginia
penitentiary here were nationally
publiciZed.

If, like Old Mother Hubbard,
you sometimes find the cupboard
bare-except for a reserve of
staples-you must learn to pre-
pare your starch meals with the
fewest calories.
When the main course Is spa
ghetti or macaroni, cook it with
tomato sauce instead Of cheese
and cream sauce. Starch supplies
nothing but calories, and in or
der to provide the necessary pro-
tein, add ground round steak. that
good old pre-payday standby.
