Castro Hits At Criticism from Church ‘HAVANA, Cuba (UPD—Premier Fidel Casfiro srtnuck back today at Roman Caithoflic criteciism of his pro-Commuinisit policies with an unprecedented arttack on Manuel Cardinal Arteaga Betancourt, Cube’s highest ©cdestastiic authority. Castro changed -that the card! ' oaf Who now criticwsets hfe government was “unconcerned" by the injustices of the regime of former President Fulgencio Batista. Without naming the prelate directly, -the premier -said sarcastically “when the bloody tyne-rst (Batista) needed his excellency, as they called him in the preridential palace, his excellency wa-s there on the b’oodstaAned, corrupt palace of the tyramrt.” In a 3-ho«>r, 35-miiv.de speech, Castro also warned Ovracm workers not ito expect big Chir''-tanas bonuses this yeter. He said iit would be “over-opT-miriic” to expect ithe bonus of a month to 6 weeks’ salary paid last year, but did not indicate how much 'hl's year's bonus to -likely to be. 4festro, addressing a cheering ptowd -c.t hcadquiariters of the CIC union federei'icn, launched one of the b'-Xeosrit attacks against church •leaders in the premier’s two-year regime.

, Qj.: t NOTES FROM • AFTEH THIRTY I 1 By Jack Heller CONSOLATION 1 Clete Miller, manager of the ’ Fairway Restaurant, had one ' faint glimmer of humor out of his recent robbery. One of the articles stolen from his private desk was a transistor radio, and Clete ' laconically commented that he 1 was glad they toofc it with them. 1 He quipped that the radio had ’ never worked right anyway, and ’ it served the thieves right. Then, ' in soberer thought, he added, “but I I guess they have enough money I to buy one that does work right." 1 3< I CHANGE OF ADDRESS Tony Isch was talking things ' over with Santa Claus on televis- 1 ion last week, and sportscaster Hilliard Gates was acting as the midtile man. Gates noticed that Tony_was_ J sx>ort.ing‘ : a minature "D,” from Decatur high school, and he asked the young man where he got his letter. Tony told Hilliard that his Daddy had given him the letter. After the interview, Tony’s mother, Nola, asked the young redhead why he had said that .Daddy had given him the letter, when he always answered that Mr. Worthman at the high school had presented the award. Tony got a little disgusted with adult memory. He answered “oh, you know Monimy, Mr. Worthman doesn't work at the high school any more. He's got a new job selling trees.” Tony had also been along when the Isch’s had picked up their Christmas tree from the Lions tree sales, and Bob had sold them the tree. ANYONE FOR SECONDS? Last weekend posed some problems for Mrs. Bill Baker. Sunday afternoon, she was busy trying to get some order in the house. The ( old floor covering had been removed from the living room in preparation for new carpeting and the holidays. Bill and his daughter had wisely decided to leave the house and go for a walk in the snow. When the pair returned. Mrs. Baker's daughter had some mud on her boots, along with plenty of snow, and since she would have to wear the boots to school the next day, they were put in the oven to dry. About ten o’clock Monday morning, Mrs. Baker had a terrtoile thought. The boots were (till at home in the oven. Word has not been received as yet as to what the Bakers had for lunch. - 30 FDR THE REFEREES Jim Cowens, local insurance man, met a real rugged problem I last Friday when the Yellow Jack- ‘ ets played Central Catholic at the Coliseum, in the person of a scoreboard. Jim, Decatur’s official, timekeeper, was keeping time on the huge scoreboard from his position in the' upper arena and doing a fine job of it considering all the "gadgets” he had-to work with.

ble. ho4Jver, when his colleague sitting beside him raised the question, "who's in the penalty box’” High above the floor was the penalty clock, ticking off a two-min-ute hockey penalty. When asked what he was going to do about it, Jim had a logical answer of “just let it be and it’ll go away.” Sure enough it did go away—exactly two minutes later. LONG AND SHORT OF IT A Brownie, wrapping the presents she had made for her mother and father at the Wednesday meeting, asked one of the adult ladies at the meeting how to spell the word eight. She was told and immediately went back to wrapping her presents. The lady who had answered the little one's problem, kept trying to figure out why the girl would want to use the word eight while wrapping presents. .The woman finally asked and the Brownie replied. “Well, I call my daddy ‘Big Six’ and he calls me Crazy Eight’ The little girl, by the way,, happened to be eight-year-old Julie Anderson, daughter of Deeatur’s “six foot'* attorney. Bob Anderson. Mrs. Wm. Journay , Stricken At Game LMfs.

Two Accidents Are Reported In City ' - Two accidents occurred in the city Friday evening, with one of them involving a car and a train.
