GAMBLING SYNDICATE
When Jefferson Beach was
purchased, year ago, by a syn
dictate of gamblers. including
Danny Sullivan. Lincoln Fitz-
gerald, Merit Wertheimer and
John Il. Brunton, public reaction
became so bitter and publicity
so persistent that the park seem
ingly never deviated from a
strictly above-board operation
throughout the balance Of the
year. There is no record of
raids on the establishment or vi
olationS of the law during the
l2-month period following its
purchase by the gambling syn
dicatc.
Eastwood Park, new owner OF
the Jefferson property has,
however, itself won the atten-
ton Of raiding forces at various
times down through the years
on suspicion Of operating illegal
Tango games, operation of slot
machines and the sale Of intoxi-
cantS TO minors.

In revealing the purchase of
the jefferson Beach property the

pointed out that one of the fea-

has been its lovely ballroom

According TO Buschelps re-
construction of the Battle of the
Century, Norma met Barbara IN
a school hallway at 4 p. m,
Monday and Immediately went
into action. After preliminary
side-Stepping, Barbara went
down for the full count-'out

restrained by any referee, con-
tinued to paste her unconscious
opponent. Barbara required
medical treatment later and
went TO bed.

HAS INSIDE TRACK
Norma and Barbara have been
cumming with the same high
school boy who has a car, the
State Trooper reported, and the
form book appears to indicate
that Barbara IS nosing out her
heavier rival. AT any rate,
Norma admitted she, had been
lett standing on Rochester
curb a few times and had TO
hitch-hlke home 10 Leonard,
when the B. F., drove Barbara
home. Both girls claimed to
be the favorite in this race, how
ever.
As far as the parents (also in
tcrvicWed by BuschelD are con-
ccrncd, their comments only
produced a stalemate:
Our girl is by far the most
popular girl in school; the lead
or of her group. That other
thing hasn't even got friend"
was the comment Of EACH
family.
-Buschell WAS TO make another
trip to Leonard to confer with
Leonard High School officials
Tuesday, and said he will also
discuss the matter with Oak
