Akron Beacon Journal Wednesday, February 25, 1953 The Town Crier By KENNETH NICHOLS The Sunday, March 1, issue of the New York on the stands, contains a full-page photograph famed Radio City Rockettes. An oddity is that five of the 36 girls shown are from the Akron area. They are Kay Crum, of the Falls; Mary Lou Lahrmer and Heather Cowan, from here; Joan Robinson, North Canton, and Mary Limbach, Massillon. What would Broadway do without "the sticks" TV studios which WAKR will build in the recently purchased Copley Theater are regarded as models of compact efficiency. But they weren't designed by professional architect but by Viola Berk, wife of Bernard Berk, the WAKR president.

SUBTLE HINT: In weather like this, last week's snowstorm is easily forgotten, but not by a doctor of our acquaintance.

It's on his conscience- a way. The doctor's car, on that hazardous night, conked out a half mile from his home. He called a service station, explaining he would walk home, get the wife and her car and return to his own so that he could drive it away when fixed up. "Never mind," said the garageman, "I'll pick you up at your house." He did. At the scene of trouble, the doctor offered to hold the flashlight.

"No indeed," was the reply. "You just stay in the truck and keep warm." The garageman, as he worked along, said "I had about 10 other calls ahead of yours but I pushed you up front." When the car was running again--it was the battery--the doctor offered a $2 tip. It was refused. "I don't get it," the baffled medico finally exploded. "Why are you doing all this for me?" "Don't you remember me, doc?" said the garageman.

"I'm the guy who's trying to pay you $250 for an operation on my wife." LADY IN DISTRESS: As West High is getting ready to bow out, many of the graduating classes are talking reunion.

Mrs. Elizabeth Clark Teal, clad in black and unsmiling, took the witness stand in defense of her short, chunky son by a previous marriage.

Jelke, 23-year-old eventual heir to an oleomargarine fortune, is accused of inducing three young women to become prostitutes and living off the profitable earnings of one. SPEAKING IN low, tense voice, Mrs. Teal said that at the time the state accuses Jelke of taking the prostitution earnings of slim brunet Pat Ward, 19, he was receiving from $180 to $400 a month from a trust fund and from Joans from the Bankers Trust Co. Mrs. Teal, of Danbury, testified that she also gave him cash gifts during that time and supplied funds for him to redecorate his swank apartment on Manhattan's fashionable upper East Side.

Mrs. Teal testified that from January to April in 1951 she gave her son $180 a month, increased it to $200 and in May "I made it $400 a month." GENERAL SESSIONS Judge Francis L. Valente told Defense Counsel Sam Segal Tuesday to be prepared with his case at today's court opening "because if you're not I'm going to direct you to rest your Only a few minutes earlier in shouting session with Segal, Valente cried: "You're stalling; just plain, ordinary stalling." The judge's face WAS flushed with anger. Segal denied he was stalling. THE DEFENSE started presenting its case Tuesday in an open courtroom which had been closed to the public and press during state testinony.

Valente threw open the trial to newsmen and spectators just in time for them to hear the verbal fireworks between himsell and Segal. Segal's failure to have hand two witnesses sparked Valente's outburst. The witnesses are Nick Condos, night-club owner and husband of Comedienne Martha Raye, and woman identified only as Grace Appel, reportedly a friend of Pat Ward. MISS WARD is one of the three women whom Jelke allegedly induced into careers as $100- a-night call girls for cafe ciety. She allegedly tied to commit sulcide last year in Miss Faye's New York apartment.

Miss Raye said the 19-year-old Miss Ward nly the apartment. Condos, Segal argued, had ignored a witness summons because of the spicy nature of the case. The Appel woman cot not be found, the attorney added. Valente told Segal that, if the attorney prepared warrant for Condos' arrest, the court would sign. it.

Segal said he would rather and try to prevail on Condos to come in voluntarily. WITH THE jury dismissed for the day, Valente then admonished Segal: "I'm not going to keep this jury waiting while you people prepare your case. I don't propose to The judge said he was "not at all satisfied of the good faith of counsel, "that he defense had sufficient. time to prepare its case but did "absolutely nothing," and that the defense spent "more time being interviewed" by the press "than in interviewing" potential witnesses.

Burns, truck driver who rescued her after her horse ran -AP. DRAMA IN THE EAST Horse Runs Away, Girl Saved In Real Thriller WILMINGTON, Mass.

(P)-A speeding train, lowered crossing gates, a quick-witted truck driver and a courageous girl astride a speeding horse figured in a hair-raising thriller Tuesday. Sandra Dupras, 13, was plucked from her runaway steed by a speeding truck driver after the horse--in a five-mile dash had hurdled the railroad gates in front of an oncoming train. THE WILD DASH of Sandra's horse began when 8. saddle strap broke, whipping the animal on at top speed. The truck driver, Ernest R.

Burns, took off after the horse and rider. His pursuit was interrupted momentarily when the frightened steed bounded over the lowered crossing gates just before the train flew by. Picking up pursuit again at 50 miles an hour, Burns overtook the horse and rider, after the animal had made another hurdle--over the hood of an automobile. FINALLY HE managed to get abreast of horse and rider, and, reaching out, snatched the girl from the tiring horse in a real "wild west" rescue. The girl did not suffer a scratch.

Witnesses said Burns steered the truck with his right hand and stood on the running board as he pulled abreast of the horse. Using his left arm he lifted Sandra to the truck. We All Must Have Faith In Something EDITOR'S NOTE: The Beacon Journal will publish each day during Lent contribution from an Akron man or woman on "What My Religion Means T. Me." By MRS. JEANE BONNEY Office Secretary, St.

Paul's Episcopal Church "0 God our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come. Our shelter from the story blast, And our eternal home." The words of this grand old hymn tell very simply what my religion means to me--and, I'm sure, to many others, regardless of our individual church affiliations or lack of them. God, our help ages accumulated wisdom of the ages tells us that God good, that our trust is not misplaced, that the God of our fathers a living God. is "Our hope for years to com every thinking person in this country joined with President Eisenhower inauguration he asked God's help in the years to come to bring about peace.

Religion, to me, is the answer-book to life's final examinations. Some of our questions can be answered by medical science, others by texts on physics, astronomy and biology; but the most searching questions of human heart turn instinctively to a higher authority. Religion answers my deepest questions -and the even deeper ones of my daughter who is 5.

Surely we would never allow ourselves to be borne aloft in an airplane it we didn't have faith! Nor would we drive our car through the long tunnels on the Pennsylvania Turnpike without faith the mountains won't come crashing down upon us. The matter of faith, then, is not a hard one for me to accept. My own personal belief can really be stated very simply--religion is God's answer to the needs of man.

We all are aware of our need--God's help is available to us all. THE BIBLE Gospel of St. Luke Where the Eagles Gather Chapter XVII; 28-37 "Likewise as it was in the days of Lot--they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built, but on the day when Lot went out from Sodom fire and brimstone rained from heaven and destroyed them all- so will it be on the day when the Son of man is revealed. "On that day, let him who is on the housetop, with his goods in the house, not come down to take them away; and likewise let him who is in the field not turn back. Remember Lot's wife.

Whoever seeks to gain his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will preserve it. "I tell you, in that night there will be two men in one bed: one will be taken and the other left. There will be two women grinding together; one will be taken and the other left." And they said to him, "Where, Lord?"

Canton Has No Warning Devices CANTON- -Canton is operating without any type of air raid warning device, Ben Clarke, detense director, revealed at the first city Civil Defense staff meeting Tuesday night in the American Legion Home.

Radio and television warnings are the only safeguards the city has in case of attack, Clarke said. Federal recommendations for air raid warning systems for the city would cost an estimated 000. Clarke said his policy is against spending taxpayer money for Civil Defense until all other possibilities are exhausted. Plans are now being made for some type of air raid warning system in the near future, Clarke said, but it is not yet known just what it will be. CLARKE, appointed by Carl F.

Wise last Spring as volunteer director, also told his first staff meeting that the city has no trained auxiliary firemen. Establishment of an auxiliary fire fighting force is top priority, he stressed. A force of 250 auxiliary policemen, plus detailed plans for setting up mobile disaster centers on the city's perimeter, are the city's chief accomplishments in Civil Defense at present, he said. A force of 21 radio-equipped cars that can be used as mobile control centers will the perimeter control points, Clarke said. man, Clarke told the 16 members who attended the staff meeting that "painless paying" of bills even it it meant parties and other benefits.

He said most of Canton's defense program to date has been kept, "behind the scenes" because it was not considered good to rouse public interest too fast and then have it collapse. Clarke was appointed by Mayor Wise to administer a strictly volunteer defense program after the salaried defense director, George Branscomb, resigned.
