Rouge Nine, Railsplitters In Opener – by Joe Enright – Coach Jack Wise‟s River Rouge High School baseball team will open its campaign to win the Twin Valley Conference title Tuesday afternoon at Great Lakes field when the Panthers meet defending champion Lincoln Park at 3:45pm. A triumph for Rouge would supply a big lift for the local nine as they seek the TVC Crown. Southpaw Harry “Biff” Lozon is expected to get the mound assignment for the Panthers, with George Osmond in reserve. Lozon pitched well against the Parkers last year, losing a tough game to Coach Tom Noland‟s aggregation. While Rouge has two veteran pitchers returning, Lincoln Park has lost his two veteran hurlers, Dick Close and Dick Persitti, so Rouge should enjoy an edge in the mound department. ADS 1.

APRIL 21, 1955 996 To Get Free Salk Shots – City Starts Next Monday – Nine hundred and ninety-six first and second graders in River Rouge public and parochial schools will get shots of Salk Polio Vaccine next week. The inoculations will start Monday and continue through the week. The inoculations will be administered to the youngsters under the free vaccine program of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. The inoculation program will be conducted in River Rouge by Dr. Broderson, who will be assisted by teams of
volunteer physicians, Florence Shechan, Supervisor of the Department of Health; City Nurses Mrs. Loretta Gallar and Mrs. Ruth Ryles; School Nurse Laura Gats, Teachers and School Personnel. Only children in the first and second grades whose parents have signed and returned the request slips will receive the immunization shots, according to Dr. Broderson. The authorization slips were sent to the parent from the offices of Glenn K. Bowen, Superintendent of Public Schools and to the parents of the parochial school children from Mother John Therese. The initial shots will be followed in a month by a second inoculation, and the third and last from seven to 12 months later. “The second inoculation program will start May 23”, Dr. Broderson announced Tuesday, “and the third, or booster shot will be administered sometime next January. The two shots to be given to the children before the school year will protect them this summer.” Parents are urged to take advantage of the immunization program by Dr. Broderson, who calls attention to the fact that vaccination has been found up to 90 per cent effective against infantile paralysis. What Didn‟t James Do – For the next month James Carl Price of 99 E. Henry, River Rouge, will be taking his meals at Clinton and Beaubien streets, in Detroit, the guest of the County of Wayne and Sheriff Andrew Baird. The 24 year-old Steelworker received a 30 day jail term last Friday from Judge Alexander Barbour of Ecorse, Justice Court. All Price did to receive his “vacation” was to be found guilty of driving without lights and without a Michigan license; hitting a parked car with resulting injury to a Detroit woman; leaving the scene of the accident, and running a stop street. To top it off, Price admitted to the Judge that he was driving under the influence of liquor. Ecorse Police Officer‟s Marcott and Ture reported that they were chasing Price down Jefferson Avenue last Friday and witnessed the entire affair. They stated that they were finally forced to run Price‟s car off the road to make him stop. The injured woman, Genevieve Karpowicz, 29, of 10874 St. Louis, Detroit, was treated for arm injuries and released. $10,180,300 Assessment Hike For 1955 – 1956 Due To Industry – Council approved unanimously Tuesday night the $70,973,070 assessments of real and personal property in River Rouge as set by the Board of Review. The final assessment figures reached by the Board were submitted to Council by City Assessor Arthur L. Valade who pointed out that the assessed valuation in River Rouge for the 1955-1956 fiscal year has increased $10,180,300 over last year. Personal property (which includes plant equipment, business fixtures and incidentals other than real estate), is valued at $42,743,380 and real estate at $28,230,690. The hike in the assessed valuation is chiefly due to industrial expansion with the largest increases reflected about equally by the Detroit Edison Co. and the Great Lakes Steel Corp. Edison‟s new power plant now under construction, will house in one of the projects buildings, the two largest steam turbine-generators in the world. Assessments remained about the same as last year, Valade said, on other larger industries, such as Whitehead & Kales, Fabricon, U.S. Gypsum Co., Nicholson Terminal & Dock and several oil company subsidiaries. Stocks and other personal property items of other corporations also added to the total, the largest in the city‟s history. The nearly $71,000,000 assessed valuation was $145,440 higher than the tentative figure for the fiscal year which starts July 1, submitted by Valade to the Council on March 15. Council at that time, on the recommendation of Commissioner Earl R. Beaudrie, Finance Committee Chairman, voted to cut the city‟s tax rate 50 cents per thousand of assessed valuation, the city‟s lowest since 1945. Valade, Roger Carrington and John Digna, who sat as members of the Board of Review, heard only one inquiry from a property owner who asked why a certain tax figure had been placed on a 40 X 220 lot. According to Valade the assessment was explained satisfactorily to the taxpayer.
