Page 2 "Dear Mr. Congressman", Juliet Lowell‘s newest laughâ€"packed book (Duell, $1), landed on our desk this week and we‘ve been chuckling ever since . ..

Clothing and miscellaneous articles poured into the shop, and buyers, despite the inconvenience of the North Shore strike, filled the shop. h At a board meeting at the home of Thrift Shop‘s president, Mrs. Francis Knight, it was announced that June was the highest income month of Thrift Shop history. This in turn meant an increase in gifts to various charitable organizations which benefit from proceeds of the sales. The shop is now bulging with lovely summer clothing including cottons, prints, bathing suits and shoes for both children and adults. Mrs. Simpson, Thrift Shop manâ€" ager, has arranged a midâ€"summer sale of women‘s dresses, offering many beautiful garments for half the marked price in a variety of sizes and styles. Final Drive; Bethany Maintains Lead The local Church _ Softball| League, sponsored by the Playâ€" ground d Recreation Departâ€" ment, rli.lréd out of their games this past week, rested up for the second half of the seasons play and the September playâ€"offs with Bethany in the lead by a comfortâ€" able margin. St. Johns Evangelical team has been threatening all season, but has thus far not been able to overâ€" take the Bethany teams timely hitting, good fielding, and fast base running. St. Johns team has missed the help of a winning pitâ€" cher. Both St. Johns and Bethany have used experimental combinaâ€" tions in batting order and fielding. ‘The infield combination of Bench, Fox, Dixon and Bock has worked successfully for St. Johns and may become permanent. Bethany‘s inâ€" field is still subject to change, while the trio of Johnson, Vetter and Beck in theâ€"pastures is seemâ€" ingly a fixture. This Thursday, July 29th, the‘ Church league will again resume play at Lincoln Field. An attempt is being made to enlarge the League and thereby increase inâ€" terest for the final stages of league play for the September playâ€"offs.

DISTINGUISHED Olson Printing Company Publishers of The Highland Park PRESS Printing Of Dignity And Character V.F.W. * The Class A Softball League, sponsored by the Recreation Deâ€" partment, is going into the stretch with 4 teams fighting for the top spot. Only 3 more games are On dock to be completed before this w,..i..g...pmmm Several important games were played last week and when the dust had cleared, the V.F.W. was back on top, closely followed by Fells, Santis and Harrisons. Friday‘s game saw Santis defeat Fells 6â€"3. Mario Santi pitching for his team, handcuffed the Fell boys. He held them hitless, but Fells scored three runs by virtue of a couple of walks and a wild pe& by the catcher. Santis had all their big guns out for this game includâ€" ing Danny Coleman, Eugene Tagâ€" liapietre and Angelo Passuello. The V.F. W. won a very importâ€" ant ball game from Harrison Wholesale with whom they had been tied for first place honors by the close score 5â€"3. Harrisons might have won this game but for some poor base running. With the bases loaded and two outs a runâ€" ner left base before the ball left the pitcher‘s hands, making him automatically out. The batter hit safely, bringing in two runs but they did not count as the third out had been made when the runâ€" ner left base before the pitch.
