BOWLING
WITH ROD THOMAS

Washington tenpin bowlers
get around. Eight of them are
entered in the American Bowling
Congress championships at Fort
Wayne, Ind; at least five indi-
viduals are trying for the big
prizes in the Autobowl tourna-
ment in Detroit and a batch of
them expect to shoot in the
Glenwood Handicap Classic IN
Philadelphia.
Just back from Fort Wayne
are Joe zajicek, who rolled Gil
in singles: Nick Forto, with 564,
and Myron Beard and Bud Ear
hardt. with 1.120 in doubles. All
figure to land in the payoff.
Stopping off at Canton. Ohio,
Beard, Chef Ness and Forto
rolled in the Postal Employees
tournament. open to all Federal
workers. Beard and Ness shot
LILO in doubles and Forto 608
and Beard 583 in singles, with all
apparently assured of prizes.
In the Detroit affair are
Jimmy Moore. Biff Rodgers, Joe
Mise1i. Boyce Johnston and Vince
LarToque. In the same tourna-
ment last year. Rodgers nailed a
1000 prize for second place.
Bob O'Neill, who shoots with
Jimmy Moore's team in the
Greater Washington League. won
the Glenwood last year and col
lected $1,000. In the coming
event, April 23-May %, he will
try for a new Ford, now the first

perhaps the least likely of Wash

pin ball as If it were hollow. In

Almost as soon as Hartack's
fifth winner was put up on the
board. a discussion arose as to
whether it was record for
Laurel and for the State. Five
straight = especially the first
five-apparently is a record for
the track and State. Charlie
Burr at Gulfstream and Colin
Knisley at Hamilton, Ohio. won
six in a row in 1858. joining
five riders who had turned the
trick.
Culmone. it was remembered,

Wallace rode four straight at
Laurel on October 20, 1925, be-
fore losing.
"He beat the favorite. Worth

Stamp Collector
Wins Medal
And Award

The only East Clevelander who
exhibited at the first annual
stamp exhibition of the East
Cleve land Philatelic Society's
show on Sunday, April 17th, was
winner. Thomas A. Fisher with
an exhibition of US. Guide Lines,
won a gold medal and the Society
of Philatelic Americans Research
Award. The latter is given for
the exhibit showing the greatest
amount of Philatelic research.
The exhibition opened immedi-
ately after the ground breaking
for the new East Cleveland
YMCA. Many attending the
ground breaking exercises visited
the stamp show before leaving.
All afternoon others came to see
this first exhibition of the fastest
growing stamp club in the greater
Cleveland area.
This first exhibition known as
Eclepex '55 was limited to club
members who had never exhibited
before and considering this fact
it was the opinion of seasoned
philatelists that the exhibits were
unusually good.
Jim Turner of the Cleveland
Press was chairman with Richard
E. Robinson and Richard E. Lee
making up the judging trio.

Participation by Cuyahoga
County in the nation wide test,
Operation Alert, 1866" has been
recommended to the Mayors Ad-
visory Committee by the Civil
Defense directors of the county.
This particular test under present
plans, is to be restricted to the
vacating of buildings. The vaca-
ton will extend from twenty to
twenty-five minutes when a Sec
end signal will be sounded, to
end the alert.
The recommendation was
reached at meeting of the CD
Directors in the office of the
county's Civil Defense organiza-
ton. 1t was presided over by Sam
Wilson, jr., Deputy Coordinator.
1t was further recommended
that suburbs may take this
opportunity to extend the build
ing alert to an evacuation test.
These tests, it is pointed out,
would serve as pilot studies of
evacuation procedures by actually
moving population groups out Of
the cities into the rural areas.
