Chili in the Temple

Annual York Rite Chili Cook-off  Monday at the Youngstown Masonic Temple on Wick Ave., downtown Youngstown. The all-you-can-eat event cost a mere $6.

Some of the chili chefs - 3 of the 7 vats of the different varieties have already been gobbled up by hungry chili-heads. The room full of good food and camaraderie was packed, and appeared to be the best turn-out in a long time.

Chill In The Temple: a man went to the Dean of the Education Department at Youngstown State University for assistance; he was already having a bad day having had an altercation at the bus depot, and was homeless and wanted help. The newspaper claimed he was trespassing but this would not be possible as the University is a public institution. The Dean of Education could provide no help.
