When a friend phoned recently to ask if it would be all right for her and husband to call I on us a certain Sunday afternoon, » I was forced to tell her we would not be at home at that time.

NOTES FROM AFTER THIRTY By JACK HELLE* WHO'S THAT P,aul Bevelhimer, the usually calm coach of the Decatur Yellow Jackets, does get excited during the ball games. Recently, Bevelhimer was busily engaged in an attempt to guilde his charges to victory. He had one of the substitutes sitting next to him through most of the game. The player had been In and ouFoflfie game, and ~ the last time he came off the floor, hadn't taken the seat he had been in most of the time. The coach was busy talking, pointing out room for improvement, and ' watching the game at the same time. Finally, he spotted a mistake, and said to the player next to him, “get in there!” Paul then went back to watching the game in the analytical manner peculiar to coaches. After a while, he looked over the floor and started checking the players on the floor—the man he had sent in wasn’t there. Scanning the bench, he located his man—sitting at the far end of the bench. In his excitement, he sent in the wrong player. It didn't turn out too bad player sent in by mistake came through with nine points in a short period of time. .____ 30 .—- VIVA EL CASTRO! Dr. and Mrs. James Burk and I Mr. and Mrs. Roy Kalver returned , recently from vacationing for a ' week in Cuba, and the gentlemen have some interesting reports on the motives and manners of the Cuban rebels. Both have been im- . pressed by the sincerity and dedi- . cation of the new government and the men who brought it into es- . feet. They took a day off from > their schedule of resting in the sun - and went into Havana to look around. They visited a large hotel that serves as the headquarters for some of the rebels. While they didn’t get to see Fidel Castro, they did see at close range his second-in-command, a young Argentinian. ' This young man is a doctor of ’ medicine, and Castro himself is a doctor of law. Both local men said 1 that most of the rebels, in spite of their beards, were young men. They said they can see a difference in the attitude of the Cuban , people already. They like their . freedom from a dictatorship. Both of them also added that they hoped that the change was a permanent one, and not, as is so often the case in the unsettled Central American countries, merely the calm before another storm. LONG AND THE SHORT OF IT Len Davis, the congenial and very able sportscaster from radio * station WGL, got off a clever re- . mark in the second game of the ’ sectional Wednesday night. It was : very close to the end of the first period in the Pleasant Mills-Ge-neva game. Geneva had the ball > and was playing for one shot. The . ball was passed to Doyle Long of.. ; the Cardinals. With only a couple . of seconds remaining, Davis remarked, “Long shoots long and it’s short.” As soon as said, Davis > chuckled a little bit and reflected, J “that was a real statement.” I 30— HEY FELLAS! : One of the players got a little • carried away at the tourney. His - team called a time out to talk things over with the coach. After the intermission, the team went back on the floor. For almost a minute, they played with only four players. Finally, the missing player realized he hadn’t been taken 1 out, and bolted off the bench and down the floor. He got there just in time to pick up a loose ball, shoot and score, and get fouled in the mix-up. Seems that none 61 the rules was broken—he didn’t have to report because he hadn't been taken out and wasn’t gbing in for anyone. 3 Native Os County Dies In Virginia Chris Amstutz, 80, a native of Adams county, died Tuesday morning at the Mose Schrock home in Virginia.
