FAMOUS FABLES
By E. E. EDGAR

INSULT: During his first
year in the big leagues, as a part
time bull-pen pitcher for the
New York Yankees, Lefty ODoul
was cut-up who broke the rules
more than once.
One day, the Yankees were to
play a double-header with the
Philadelphia Athletics. At noon
a thunder storm broke. After the
rain had come down for about
Is minutes. Lefty suggested to
one of his buddies that they
could still catch the first race at
the track if they hurried.
They donned their stree
clothes without being detected
and took off. They spent the
Afternoon watching the races
and congratulating themselves
for having outwitted Manager
Miller Higgins.
Early evening when they re-
turned to the city. the first thing
they noticed was the blaring
headline of an afternoon paper.
"Yanks lose 2 to A's!" it
screamed.
ODoul lost all his cockiness.
How was he to explain his
absence to Higgins? What kind
Iof tongue lashing would he get
for abandoning his team in time
lof crisis?
He spent the night in a
torment. What happened in the
clubhouse the following day,
however. was even worse than he
had imagined. Higgins did not
say word to him. Although the
Yankees had lost two games, the
manager had not even noticed
that O'Doul had been missing!

Fourth Eastern Graduate
Wins AIumnus Gront

A newly graduated Eastern
High School student is headed
for college on a $4,000 scholar
ship given by a member of East
ern's class of 1899.
Harlan Dean Venable. of 1701
C street NE, is the scholarship
recipient.
Donor of the grant which will
take young Venable to Lehigh
University next fall is Alfred R.
CLANCY, retired business exec
utive and military man.
Mr.. CLANCY, whose wife, the
former Lenora Corts, also was
graduated from Eastern in 1899,
established an annual scholar
ship grant for Eastern graduates
three years ago. Three other
graduates have been sent to Le-
high on the grants.
The scholarship donor. who
attended Lehigh himself. lives in
Atlanta and Bermuda. He owns
the Jefferson Hotel here.
Formerly With GIN
He formerly was an executive
of the General Motors Corp. He
was a deputy chief of Army ord
nance. with the rank of briga-
dier general. during World War
II, and once was assistant ad-
ministrator of the MIRA.
Young Venable, II, is the son
of Mr.. and Mrs. E. Bryan Ven
able. His father is a Washing
ton Gas Light Co. serviceman.
He won the scholarship award
with a high scholastic record.
He also recently won an award
for placing high in a contest of
the Mathematical Association of
America and one for his activity
at Eastern as school orchestra
member.
His Lehigh scholarship is for
81 900 for next year, but it is
renewable for the remaining
three years. He hopes to become
an engineer.

to buy in the markets, and he

ceived for a wedding gift building

I can save a great deal of money
by buying certain items for stor-
age when they are selling as
specials and by avoiding those
items that are abnormally high

My wife is willing enough that
I go with her to the market on
Saturday mornings to help with
the bundles, but she doesn't want
me to help with my judgment.
I think she is being unfair when
she says I have no more right
to interfere in the home than
she would have to interfere in

to be mine as we'll as hers.
THE COUNCILS VIEWS
John is not wrong in his point
of view, but he is employing very
bad tactics.
He no doubt knows more
about shopping than his wife,
however, this does not mean he
should impose his tastes on his
wife. Cooking and homemaking
require considerable patience,
and the work can become very
tiresome if the person who does
it is deprived of all decision
and reduced to the level
of a kitchen helper.
John would be much wiser if
he were to let his wife absorb
his knowledge of shopping lore
gradually and perhaps with
subtlety. Instead of winning
her appreciation for his help

noXious role.

Cleveland's 112 sirens will sound
the five-minute Alert signal,

Play Crucial
Little League
Games Today
BY Bob Keefer

A pair of crucial Little League
games are on tap tonight involv-
ing the four teams who are rated
as the top contenders for division
titles this year.
Don Fisher Furnaces will face
formidable opposition in the Ken
nedy's Mems shop entry which is
given a good chance to hand
Fishers its first defeat of the
season at Superior Hill. Nelson
jewelers., the only other Little
League team to escape defeat this
summer, will face rugged opposi-
ton in the Fire Dept. nine, the
1866 champions who have dropped
only one game so far, 4-3 decision
to Fisher Furnaces.
Nelson's preseason underdog,
were given a real scare on Mon
day night when they found them
selves trailing the scrappy Police
Dept. team, 10, after two innings
of play. However, Mgr. Jimmy
Marinelli's well-balanced club
fought back to exc out an 11-9
victory thanks to an eight-run
uprising in the fourth inning.
The first-half championship in
the Pony League has not yet been
decided although it has been mar
rowed down to a two-team dog
fight for top honors. Kennedy's
Mems Shop, the '55 champs, are
currently tied with Flynn-Froelk
Funeral Home for first place, each
team having 81 records. There is
little to choose between the two
strong aggregations as evidenced
by the 2-1 decision by Kennedy's in
the first meeting between the two
clubs. The Flynn entry is, perhaps,
the better hitting team with a fine
trio of bat-wielders in Tom Di-
Bartolomeo, Ken Connell and

Wednesday noon, July 11th, the
Rotary Club of East Cleveland, at
their meeting in the Tudor Arms
Hotel, presented DR.. Willem j.
Kolff with a certificate of merit
for his outstanding achievements
in the field of medicine. DIR.
Kolff is known for his invention
of the artificial kidney and re-
Gently for his work at the Cleve-
land Clinic with the heart-lung
pump.
During the presentation, long
distance phone hook-up was ar
ranged with DR.. Kolff's mother in
Hoonderloo, Holland. Mrs. Kolff
heard the presentation and talked
to her son and daughter-in-law,
Mrs. Kolff, who also was present.
Following the presentation, DR..
Kolff gave an illustrated talk on
his recent work with the arti-
ficial heart-lung machine. Arti-
ficial heart-lung machines operate
on the principle of taking blood
from the venae cavae, oxygenat-
ing it and returning it to the
aorta so that the heart is by
passed. The artificial lungs
described by Kolff oxygenate
blood while it flows through poly
ethylene tubing.
The artificial heart-lung circuit
uses a third pump so that it has
the constant blood volume. Ex-
perience in about one hundred and
forty experiments in dogs was
obtained before application in
children was tried. After provid-
ing a substitute for the heart, it
was realized that surgery inside
the heart would be much easier
if the heart could be stopped.
This was also tried in dogs first.
The clinic of Melrose in England
was used.

ences, the team of the Cleveland
