Friday, August 1953 WELISVILLE pAilY REPORTED WELISVJLLE, NEW YORK Wei Isv i lie Rolls Out Carpet for Guests Page Three Hospitality Day Guests Chat in Pre-Dinner Social Period Cleveland Couple Chosen Random Along Rt. 17 Are Dined, Entertained Wellsville's hospitality was extended to, and apparently enjoyed by, a Cleveland couple last night who were toured, dined, taken to the ball game and lodged "on the house" as guests of the village The occasion was "Route 17 Hospitality Day," and Wellsville's performance was duplicated in cities and villages along the several hundred miles of Rt. IT from east of Blnghamton to west of Jamestown. Selected at random from Rt. 17 travelers near the intersection of Brooklyn and W.

State the special guests proved to be Mr. and Mrs. Joseph D. Govan of 17902 Lake Shore O. Mr.

Govan, his hosts were to learn, Is chief expediter of the Axle Division of Eaton Manufacturing Co. His wife, Geraldlne, is a third grade teacher at Henry W. Longfellow Elementary School on Cleveland's East Side. UNCOMFORTABLY like an arrest, was Mr. Govan's first pression of the whole affair.

He rounded the intersection, passed a car stopped near it on Brooklyn then was waved to a stop by Police Chief Michael Fiordo. As he recalled it, the conversation went: Mrs. 'Govj-n to Mr. Govan "Did you crash that light?" Mr. Govan "No, it was green." Chief Fiordo "May I sec your license, please?" Interlude of silence while the police chief ascertained the couple was married, and not from nearby.

Chief Fiordo "Are you in a hurry?" At that point, Mr. Govr-n's memory of the conversation laded into vagueness. He didn't remember what lie replied, because, as he explained: "What can you say. when a policeman asks you if you're in a hurry?" EXPLANATION of the incident was made to the Govsns' satisfaction by Mayor Leo Ludden and James Waterman, president of the Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber and Greater Wellsville Industries were co-sponsors of the event, with planning initiated by the Route 17 Association thei Rt.
