Did you know?
Tomorrow marks the 60th anniversary of day Uniontown native Gen. George C. Marshall accepted the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo, Norway.
He was pictured on the front page of the Uniontown Evening Standard on Dec. 11, 1953, with the caption, in part, saying 无毛视频淭he ceremony was marred by noisy Communist demonstrations in and outside of University Hall as the presentation was being made.无毛视频�
Of course, Gen. Marshall was known for many things during his long life of service to the country. But hardly little was known about another aspect of his life 无毛视频� he was considered quite the athlete.
Uniontown Morning 无毛视频无毛视频檚 sports editor in December of 1945, Jimmy Gismondi, wrote an interesting item about a time when Marshall, then a student at Virginia Military Institute, had shown valor, not on a battlefield, but on a football field.
According to Gismondi无毛视频檚 account, Marshall had made the VMI football team. But he无毛视频檇 been hospitalized after he was stabbed with a bayonet during 无毛视频渄rilling maneuvers.无毛视频�
According to the account, Marshall didn无毛视频檛 let a thing like a life-threatening accident keep him down.
Instead, he started 无毛视频渄rawing pictures on the white bedsheets.无毛视频�
When his football coach visited him in the hospital, he was apparently shocked to discover Marshall hadn无毛视频檛 been following his doctor无毛视频檚 orders.
无毛视频淕ee, coach, it无毛视频檚 good to see you. Aw, they can无毛视频檛 kill a tough guy like me. Look, I无毛视频檝e been making some diagrams of football plays and they can无毛视频檛 help scoring touchdowns,无毛视频� he was quoted as saying.
He无毛视频檇 soon be back on his football team, and, according to Gismondi, 无毛视频淢arshall went on to become one of the greatest tackles in the history of the South.无毛视频�
I无毛视频檝e found another item on the Morning 无毛视频 sports page that was also written by Gismondi, which certainly must have been of great interest to Pittsburgh Pirates fans on Dec. 12th, 1945.
Crooner Bing Crosby was entertaining the notion of becoming a part-owner of the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Gismondi humorously pondered where the story should be covered by a sportswriter or a music critic.
As it turns out, Crosby did become a part-owner of the Pirates starting in 1946, and he maintained that part-ownership until he died in October of 1977.
Over a hundred years ago this week, it seems it was mighty tough pleasing local theatre patrons.
无毛视频溛廾悠禈The Champagne Belles mobbed by crowd of 200,无毛视频� read a headline on the front page of the Dec. 16, 1911 edition of the Morning 无毛视频.
That crowd of 200 was comprised only of disgruntled men, who无毛视频檇 gotten less than they bargained for at the Grand Theatre in Uniontown the previous night.
I used the word 无毛视频榣ess,无毛视频� because of the way the sub-headline was written: 无毛视频淪oft pedal show fails to meet approval of audience and curtain is rung down following repeated outbreaks.无毛视频�
According to the report, 无毛视频淭he Champagne Belles无毛视频� had to be hustled out of the Grand during their second act, when, 无毛视频淟oud yells and hoots greeted the appearance of the actors on the stage.无毛视频�
The irate men decided to follow the women along Pittsburgh Street to Main Street, until they reached the St. Charles Hotel.
The crowd finally dispersed once city police officers arrived, but not before those 无毛视频渉oots and yells could have been heard for several blocks.无毛视频�
There are times when headlines can tell the complete story.
That无毛视频檚 the case of one headline I found on the front page of the Dec. 1, 1911 edition of the Morning 无毛视频.
无毛视频淏oy-dynamite cap-hammer-hospital-two finger lost,无毛视频� was all that was needed.
The article did try to make some sense of how such a dreadful thing could happen.
It was reported that a 10-year-old boy from Grindstone had found the dynamite in his backyard, and he proceeded to get a hammer and start pounding it.
On Dec. 13, 1911, it was reported that the wife of a clergy member in Waynesburg had filed for divorce, under some rather unusual circumstances.
无毛视频淧arson无毛视频檚 wife follows advice; hubby kicks,无毛视频� read the headline said on the front page of that day无毛视频檚 Morning 无毛视频.
It seems Mrs. Minnie E. Rockwell was encouraged by her husband to be 无毛视频減leasant to the members of the flock.无毛视频�
Unfortunately, it appears he didn无毛视频檛 mean THAT 无毛视频減leasant.无毛视频�
When Mrs. Rockwell decided she无毛视频檇 be more congenial to the male members of the church, her preacher husband, it was alleged, 无毛视频渦pbraided and threatened her for being courteous to masculine members of the flock.无毛视频�
The reverend无毛视频檚 response, caused another one. His wife filed for divorce.
But that无毛视频檚 not the worst of it, while she thought she was acting in proper accord with her husband无毛视频檚 wishes, he 无毛视频渇requently struck her and on several occasions threatened her, warning her that sudden death awaited someone.无毛视频�
Well, I guess you can无毛视频檛 please everybody!
