Sardelli, superintendent of schools in the Tuscarawas Valley district announced late this morning. instant It ka ene( They were chanting, "We love you, Lou," as Murray Becker of the Associated Press, halfway down the first base line, trains his Graf lex on Lou Gehrig's face.

Gehrig steps to the home plate mike. Silence. In a moment, he will manage: "I may have been given a bad break, but I have an awful lot to live for." But at this instant, the words just won't come. Gehrig looks down. He puts his hands to his ey.es.

Becker presses the shutter, and on his caption card he writes: "Lou Gehrig is crying." 'We love you, Lou'. Is it a tear? No wind blows dust this day, a sunny July 4 in Yankee Stadium, appreciation day for Lou Gehrig, who has played 2130 straight games for the New York Yankees a record. It is 1939. War seems inevitable in Europe, but for the 61,808 fans gathered in the Bronx there is only one purpose: to honor a man who has played brilliantly and steadily in the shadow of Babe Ruth some think even better than the flamboyant slugger who preceded him in the batting order on "murderers' PEOPLE FIRST noticed him the day he stepped to the plate at Wrigley Field, slammed a ball over the right field fence and won his high school championship. Then they, and a Yankee scout, noticed when his Columbia University team played Rutgers in the spring of 1923 and he lofted two pitches into the trees and a third onto the Columbia library steps.

They cheered that June when he suited up alongside his idol, the Babe, and hit .313 in his first full season. They cheered as shyly, quietly, he slugged his way into baseball's firmament always on the fringe of his hero's limelight. THE BABE HAD splash, and cheered themselves hoarse for Ruth, only to find they didn't have as much voice left when Lou Gehrig hit one just as far. But he didn't really mind. Good naturedly, efficiently, he batted .373 his second season, then .374, .300, .379, .341, .349, .334, .363, .329, .354, and .351.

They called him the "Iron Horse." Then, on July 13, 1934, they watched him falter. He had picked a single off the Tigers in Detroit, run to first and doubled over with a rare kind of paralysis called "am- ytotrophic lateral sclerosis." It would kill him, slowly, over the next seven years. The TIMES-REPORTER 1 April 5,1975 I DOVER NEW PHILADELPHIA, OHIO MEDINA, Ohio (AP) Sister Mary Denise Donovan's devotion to her students at the Medina County Jail knows no bounds. She was once in an automobile accident on the way to class. A young woman passerby pleaded with the nun to go to the hospital, but Sister Mary Denise said, "No way, I've got to get to class.

Those fellows are depending on me." But she relented. At the hospital she learned she had bruised her intestines and should see her own doctor for treatment. Sister Mary Denise kept putting off the visit. "I had two boys at the jail who were going to be sentenced," she said. "I wanted to be there when they went to Mansfield so I could say good by." She eventually landed back in the hospital, but she added, "If I had known how many tests they were going to run I wouldn't have come." A member of the Sisters of St.

Joseph convent in Cleveland, Sister Mary Denise has been a teaching nun for 32 years. At the Medina County Jail, she instructs inmates in English, math and reading. Her students seem to regard her highly. One prisoner spent eigh't hours fashioning a crucifix for her out of metal notebook binders. "His fingers were covered with blisters when he finally finished," she said.

"I wouldn't take a million dollars for it." She often wonders what would happen if she ever ran into her brother's slayer at the jail. Her brother was shot to death almost two years ago in his Cleveland home during a robbery. The killer has never been found. "I hope I would be able to look him in the eye and say, I forgive you," she said. Law and order breakdown in Saigon being feared WASHINGTON (AP) Law and order may break down in Saigon if Communists attack near the city, there is a sudden change of government or there are wild rumors, State Department analysts say.

It also is possible that Hanoi could call for an uprising of the urban peoples and then sow confusion through infiltrators already in the city, the analysts said Friday. Meanwhile, retired Air Force Maj. Gen. Edward G. Lansdale, who played a major role in an earlier resettlement in Vietnam, called on President Ford to provide asylum to Vietnamese who may be in danger of Communist retaliation.

In a message to the President, Lansdale said, "I respectfully urge that the United States use its vast facilities to see that those who have steadfastly worked with us in behalf of common goals be given an opportunity for asylum in a nation of their choice." Phila teen treated for fight injuries Sheriff deputies are investigating a fight in the Mustang parking lot Friday night in which Michael Vaughan, 17, of 864 E.

Pat Everett, 19, of 235 5th st.

1MB. and Tom Strimbu, 17, of 317 Front av. SW, were in Strimbu's auto when it reportedly struck a parked auto owned by Randall Moser of RD 3, Dover. The fight reportedly started as a result of the accident which occurred at about midnight. The Mustang is located along Rt.

(A) There is no Heritage Insurance Co. listed in the reference book of insurance companies licensed to transact business in Ohio. For further information call Ohio Department of Insurance, dial (toll-free) 1-800-282-7623. Ask for the free booklets "The Ohio Consumer's Guide to Auto Insurance," "The Ohio Consumer's Guide to Life Insurance" and "The Ohio Consumer's Guide to Health Insurance." (Q) Where can I find a photography studio which will honor Family Record Plan? G.C., New Philadelphia. (A) There are several: Olan Mills' road unit, when it comes through this area; Olan Mills studios in Canton, 4810 Everhard next to Zayre's, across from Belden Village, and 4818 W.

Tuscarawas Anthony Rossi, 135 6th st. NW behind the Palace Theater in downtown Canton; Mark Studio at Millersburg, and Fox Studio in Carrollton. (Q) Goofy Gifts of Van Nuys, Calif, advertised for 500 gum wrappers, a customer could get a canned oyster with a valuable real pearl. After purchasing $7 worth of gum to acquire the 500 wrappers, and mailing them to the company, I received the enclosed'form letter offering a substitute. I would have to pay for the substitutes, and I do not want anything else.

I want the item advertised as promised. Can Hot Line get my pearl or the wrappers R.C., Sandyville. (A) line noted: printed form letter stated, "The item you have selected has been indicating that the same form was distributed to many people. (2) The items now offered are not at all similar to the original advertised item. (3) No acknowledgement is made of the 500 wrappers or the $1 bill required in the advertisement.

The whole thing looks like it might be a ripoff. We have sent your letter, plus the plus the original advertisement, to the Postal Inspector for investigation. You should be hearing from him. (Q) In September 1974, we sent $8.47 (see enclosed check photocopy) to Michigan Bulb Co. of Grand Rapids, for grapes and evergreen trees.

Cass, sent you a refund three days after Hot Line wrote. (Q) Can Hot Line give me information on Ann Adams of Jacksonville, I received cards in the mail, and would contribute if this is legitimate. Also, why do the deputy registrars charge 50 cents extra when people buy license plates? New Philadelphia.

(A) Ann Adams is a polio victim, true, but her enterprise is a profit-making business, and her greeting card sales venture is not a charity. Generally speaking, any business or "charity" which solicits by sending unordered merchandise through the mails usually spends more money in fund-raising than it spends on the "charity." If you consider this in the same category as other profit-making greeting card companies such as Hallmark, Rustcraft, you'd have a clear picture of it. Deputy registrars (to answer your second question) are allowed to collect the 50 cents as a fee for their services. (Q) On Oct. 17, I sent a watch to Uranus Electronics of Port Chester, N.Y., with a check for $6, to have it repaired.

I never received the watch, or any response to my certified letter of inquiry. Can Hot Line get my watch back? (A) tried, but we couldn't get an answer from Uranus Electronics.

Mrs. C.I., New Philadelphia. (A) Hot Line attempted to phone Walt Disney Music distributors of Disneyland Records in Great Neck, N. but the directory assistance operator has no telephone listed for either name.

We then wrote the company, from which Dorothy Haines responded that your account has been credited in full, and has been closed. Sister Mary Denise devoted to students at county jail Everybody's Column EdDeGraw GOOD POTATO SALAD. Mrs. Robert (Martha) Dillon of 153 3rd st. NE, New Philadelphia, had a birthday Tuesday.

But according to the staff at the Tuscarawas County jail, Mrs. Dillon receives good wishes many times a year. Mrs. Dillon is cook for the prisoners at the jail and has acted in that capacity for nine years. Not only does the staff of the jail appreciate her good cooking, but so do the prisoners.

has just signed a contract with the Wellsburg State Police for the construction of a state police barracks on public land in Wellsburg. Completion date is May, 1976. The project will eventually involve most of the vocational departments in the school, according to Gene Cipoletti, vocational director. Architect drawings and drafting have already been completed by students and the complete building construction including electricity, heating, air conditioning and landscaping will be also their responsibility. "We will even involve the girls in Home Economics and the accounting classes," Cipoletti said.

"The girls will select the carpet, draperies, etc. while the accounting class will run a constant cost analysis." Last year, the vocational students at Brooke built and sold a private home. This construction will be more complex with full basement and garages, five offices and an efficiency live-in area, Cipoletti said. I hope the board of education of the Buckeye Joint Vocational School keeps such projects in mind after classes begin in September, 1976.1, personally, would have trouble building a dog house and such a project would be relevant more relevant than some of the things su- dents are being taught. Joe Carlisle, superintendent of the Buckeye JVS, is not yet familiar with state building code differences in Ohio and West Virginia, but sees no reason why such a project could not be undertaken here.

'Of course, we would have to talk with local labor unions to receive their consent, but our students could do everything but the plumbing, we would have to sub-contract Financing of the Wellsburg project was done through the state of West Virginia and the city of Wellsburg as the barracks will be located within city limits. According to Cipoletti, the project will cost the school nothing. "The project is a learning process," he said. This area may not need a state patrol barracks, but with a little imagination and cooperation, we hope similar projects can be found for JVS students..
