Considerable Sky Out Ever Since Eve THE LOCAL TRoMBoNE Price: 4 Rupees I Formerly Local Bugloj Daily Except Glory Days and Jock's Birthday EDITOR: PETER VAN DOMELEN JUNE, 1960 RUMOR DISCOUNTED A rumor has been going around that a rival newspaper has started up with Miss Mary Ann Nies as editor. There is no truth to these rumors and anyway, our paper is cheaper. Also we did not steal Jack Vanden Berg, their make-up man - we won him in a card game. If you want our paper, contact Robert Bartels, head of the newsboys, and it will be deliv- ered direct to your home. CON TEST HELD In looking through the old files of the Sentinel, we found the fol- lowing items in the June, 1950, issues of the paper: June 2, 1950. Holland has in- augurated something new in con- tests. Instead of the usual beauty contest, a personality contest will be held. Any graduate of the class of '45 is eligible. Prime requisite is a smiling and pleasing personal- ity. Contestants: Beverly Wentzel, Ellen Crowley, Gladys Buurma, Betty Jean Venhuizen, Beverly Frego, Noreen Essenburg, Phyllis Mulder, Thelma Kraai, Elora Wit- tingen, Elaine Dekker, Lois Hin- dert, and Giletta Van Der Kolk. June 29, 1950. Yesterday the personality contest was held with Peter Hibma and Roy Zwemer, co-owners of the Hibmcr Model Agency, serving as judges. After a long deliberation of five min- utes, they decided that each con- testant deserved a prize. FIRE RAZES DRUC STDRE Fire Chief Kenneth Zuverink said that approximately 850,000 damage had been done in yester- day's spectacular fire at the Bill Reeve Drug Emporium in which two waitresses, Miss Betty Van De Wege and Miss Betty Hentschel were slightly injured. Evelyn King, nurse at the local hospital, cared for them. Reports indicate that the origin of the fire was in a liquor storage room, and some of t e rare old whisky of 1945 vintage may have exploded. DANCING STUDID OPENED A new dancing studio has been opened at Kollen's Park. The es- tablishment, successor to the Arthur Murray Studio, is run by Ernest Victor. Concert pianist Janet Snow will serve as accom- panist. Dancing teachers recruited from Broadway and Hollywood are Marie Van Bragt, Rose Mc- Cormick, Amy Koning Nysson, and Virginia Parkes. ARREST SPEEDERS Local police were called to 8th and River today about 7 p. m. to investigate causes of an accident involving the famous Adelle Mc- Allister who is here for her an- nual concert. Driving the other car was Mr. William Haiker, winner of the Indianapolis Speed- way race. Mr. Paul Boerigter, manager and ex-husband of the concert star, said that she was late for her concert and they were rushing to the newly finished youth center where a record crowd of 39 was waiting to hear the star. Mr. Boerigter finally admitted he may have been exceeding the forty-five-mile speed limit by a meager 50 miles, but as the need was urgent he was let off lightly with a S20 fine and 30 days in jail. Mr. Haiker remarked that he hadn't done any real speeding since the race and was just keep- ing in practice. He was given cell No. 4. Miss McAllister sang to a record crowd of 83 from the second floor of the city jail. Offi- cers Allyn Cook and Robert Exo were credited with the arrest. CITY ELECTIDNS HELD Headed by Mayor Stuart Baker, the Prohibitionist Party won the city elections last week by a land- slide. Edgar Mosher is our new clerk, Norman Thomas Piersma, treasurer, Kenneth Dykstra, sher- iff. Other city fathers in the form of impressive U5 aldermen are Carl Reimink, John Spykerman, Collins Ottipoby, Rudell Klein- heksel, Wilburt Lemmen, Clifford Geerlings, Peter Dryer, Lambert Haveman, and Morris Peerbolt.

Said Carl Immink, leader of the losing party, It was a good fight. The best man lost. STAR VISITS CITY Miss Maurine Betty Davis Hum- bert, whom people say is the Betty Grable of 1960 fwho was Betty Grable?l, paid a visit to Holland today. She was accompanied by her agent, Verne Fuder, and traveling companion, B. J. Spauld- ing, wealthy and vivacious di- vorcee. She is currently starring in Blonde Trouble, opposite Louis Clark Gable Van Dyke, former University of Zeeland bas- ketball star. RESCUE CENTER DEDICATED: APPDINT MISSIDNARY It was a gala occasion this after- noon as Reverend R. M. Stoppels ofiiciated at the laying of the cornerstone for his new Rescue Center. The ceremony began with a short two-hour talk given by the retiring mayor of Holland, Edwin Van Harn. At the close of his talk, laborers, namely Art Van Dyke and Keith Baker, lowered the mas- sive foot-square stone into place. One of Reverend Stoppel's par- ishioners and manager of the local A8zP Super-Duper Market, Mr. Stan Van Liere, gave a short ad- dress on the future plans of the center. After his talk the Rev- erend's wife and fellow worker, the former Mary Juliann Vande Wege, played the two songs in her repertoire on the newly purchased pump organ, which was put for safekeeping in Bob Brink's Book- store across the street. The cere- mony ended with a few words by Reverend Stoppels and the labor- ers went back to work Q ? J. The Rescue Center has decided to send out missionaries to foreign fields. The Rev.

2 LOCAL TROMBONE BARROOM RAIDED Early yesterday evening, local police raided Baskett's Barroom on East 7th street. The raid started after a complaint was filed by Don Sundin, owner of the Coca-Cola company across the street, who said he was disturbed about 6:30 p. m. by an empty bottle flying through his front window. Our able Chief Dykstra surrounded the place and forced his way in through the open door. When the chief entered the room, the floor show was in prog- ress with Lucy Glammer, who was formerly known as Jean Snow, singing, Barman, Keep Those Bottles Quiet! The comedy team, Gleep and Meatball, ducked quickly out of the side entrance. Ru-ss Simpson, gangster wanted for jaywalking, was found sleep- ing peacefully under the piano. Baskett put up a terrific strug- gle but finally gave up when his gun moll, Nell Ver Meulen, de- serted him. He was taken to city jail where his mouthpiece, Ade- laide Kuipers, the famous woman criminal lawyer, was called in. And so the town returned to its usual sleepy mood as Paul Fort- ney took over the club. Co-owner Gene Hiddinga is planning to sue, to get back his 855.00 investment in the establishment. ULD WILLS UNGUVERED .Warren Van Kampen, noted local attorney, has made a star- tling discovery. While cleaning his desk for the first time yester- day, he found some old wills in a corner, which were made way, way back in 1945. fRemember that far back? That was when they dec- orated the walls of the high school and made the rule that you could no longer throw people out of second story windows -they had to go out through the door.J Through time and fate, the pro- visions made in these wills have already been carried out. They are as follows: Helen Bruinsma leaves her talkativeness to Carole Elston. Kay Essenburg leaves her speaking abil- ity to next year's Daniel Webster. 1P.S. No one was ever found.J Fred Veersma leaves to look for a line like Jack Van Dorple's. Donna Hoatlin leaves her twirling to Pr-ue I-Iaskin. Clarine Gunneman leaves her scholastic ability to the valedictorian of the class of '46. Carol HUB Prigge leaves her coquet- tishness CYD to Carol Houtman. Myna Ash, Erma Kootsier, Sally Temple and Jaunita Sly leave with left hand held proudly in front and third fingers glisten- mg. Bill Plomp surrenders his initials and height to Bill Postmus. Bob Kuiper leaves for the Navy. 27 Norval Trimpe leaves for Christian High. Elaine Weaver leaves her pep to Lois Mitchell. Vivian Steketee leaves her natural curly hair to Betty Kuiken. Arlene Vander Meulen and Marilyn Lugten leave arm in arm. Preston Rigterink leaves the lower halls, reluctantly. Betty Tuinsma leaves her talented tongue to Betty Kirkwood. Mary Vande Vusse and Leona Pathuis leave with the Navy. MISSING SULDIER RETURNS After missing for 10 years, Master Machinist Sergeant Ed Lampen has returned to his be- loved town with his wife and 8 children. Lampen was reported missing after a flight over Burma during the last year of World War II. His officers reported that Sgt. Lampen misinterpreted the order Happy landings for abandon ship, and parachuted down to earth over the jungle. Because he was tail gunner, he was not missed by his men until they landed at their base in India. He was given up as missing. Sgt. Lampen said that he landed in the front yard of the Indian Princess Mitchiushi, and was im- mediately taken in. He was well taken care of, in fact he was mar- ried three months later to the princess. Lampen and the princess are now blessed with 8 children. Lampen is very modest about tell- ing of his arrival to civilization. But we know he built a glider of bamboo and palm leaves and glided into Singapore, April 1, with his family. He said he was longing to get hack to the jungle again. CARETAKER FINED Ed Lugers, local farmer and caretaker of Camp Keewano, was fined S25 in court yesterday. He was charged with hunting out of season. Although he shot nothing he admitted his guilt upon ques- tioning. He said that he was hunting for wolves that were seen prowling around Camp Keewano during the late hours of Saturday night. Two camp counselors, Miss Arlene Wieten and Miss Connie Hinga, were the first to see the wolves and were a bit hesitant about re- porting them to Mr. Lugers for fear of getting him into trouble. He was very noble and chival- rous at the station, saying he was only doing his duty to the coun- selors, and was very willing to pay the fine. Misses Wieten and Hinga stated that maybe it was better that they didn't kill the wolves because it would make a much bigger problem, with the shooting laws as they are. CON VICTS ESCAPE By Carrier Pigeon from Burnips Village Jail After an extensive search throughout Burnips the police de- partment temporarily gave up searching for Don Rinkes, Stan Van Lopik, Don Hulst, Roy Stokes and Dale Van Oosterhout. These renegades, serving sentence for overturning outdoor sanitation de- pots, made their getaway by over- powering the guards, John Thias and Kenneth Knoll, and taking the keys. They persuaded another cellmate, .Dingeman De Witt, to escape with them, but he was caught soon after, hiding under a table in Blum's Academy of Higher Learning. Upon question- ing, De Witt admitted he really would rather have stayed in jail because the food is simply deli- cious. De Witt is serving a two- day sentence for throwing toma- toes at passing cars. Thias and Knoll reported that Rinkes had called them over to the cell to look at Stokes, whom they claimed had passed out when he saw a bed bug under the cot. After they were in the cell, Hulst knocked them over the head with a dinner tray and took the keys and in turn released the other prisoners. It is believed they are hiding in this vicinity and are on the lookout. Thev answer to the names of Don, Roy, Red, Stan and Dale. DUCTUR ARRIVES FUR BOW TESTS Dr. Lucille Klomparens has ar- rived in Holland with her two as- sistants, Bill and Lloyd Van Slooten, for the semi-annual tuberculin tests for cows, heifers, bulls, etc. She has secured quite a reputation for herself inasmuch as only one cow has passed away since she has given the tests. flncidentally, this particular cow's remains can be reviewed in the Graafschaap Museum of Science and Industry - admission one louse for science's sake with guided tours by Shirley Bonte- koe.J Local cow owners are noti- fied to sign up at the Dunnewin Farm for Neglected Cows. Opportunities sometimes drop into peoplefs laps, but not until they get their laps where oppor- tunities are dropping. Says a rookie, In the Army they can't make you do anything, but they can make you wish you had. -- Service-station man: What's wrong with your tires? Motorist: The air's beginning to show through.
