Just as was stated in this column last week, the Oakville Merchants are the champions of the local bas- ketball loop but the game thay won from the Davies last Monday eve ming wasn't sufficient to give them the rightful claim to the title as was formerly put in these same DOT tals. The Oakville Kiesels had been sharing the top notch with the Merchants until they were unex- pectedly tumbled by the Chestnut Hills. The Kiesels immediately filed a protest on the grounds that the Hills had used an ineligible player. The officials apparently agreed with the former club because the game was ordered replayed and the Kiesels turned the tables and eked out a close win.

The result was the Kiesels tied the Merchants and were forced to play the latter club Monday eve ming, which was break for them but a setup which the Merchants didn't like in the least. As the KieseIs had twice defeated the Merchants the affair was slated a slam bang contest and as usual the advanced dope didn't prove lot of ballyhOO. The contest really was c0rker.
 Playing without their ace forward and one of the leagues three best scorers, Bobby Ericson, the Kiesels staged a spirited but ragged brand of basketball only to lose out tC their next door neighbors the Mer- chants 27-25, before another capac- ity gathering at the WatertoWr high school gymnasium. Johnny Kiesel muffed two foul tries as the game ended-thereby eliminating the last chance his club had Of ty- ing up the ball game.
 The Merchants grabbed an early lead and were ahead ll-7 at tho close of the first period. and 24-2l at the half. The Kiesels took tho play away in the third period anc led at the conclusion 24-21.
 George Pierce with 10 points, Jim- my Liakos and Bay Beauty with and respectively led the winners attack while Phil Berchonak anc John Kiesel each bagged seven fol the KieSels.
 In the final game of the evening the fast stepping Chestnut Hills wor their third straight contest by down. ing the Oakville Davies 20-15. Anc SO with these final contests we bic adieu to basketball until next Mo- yember. All in all it was grand and glorious year for the court sport.

ut no other time in our natioin's his
tory is the role that minority races

in d speech broadcast over Station

Placing America at the head Of
world democracies that can aid in
actively opposing this tide of reeac-

THAT is why the National Assoc

in America TO scrutinize their ranks,
wipe out the last vestiges Of preju-
dice there, and having done this,
proceed to the task Of wiping out
these preiudices from other sections
Of our citizenry.'

BUFFALO, N. Y, Dec. Is (ANP)
In call for "new unity Of the
Christian church made Thursday
at the Biennial Meeting and both
anniversary Of the Federal Council
of the Churches of Christ in Amer
lea, leaders in attendance gave voice
to the conviction that interracial
justice and good will are essential il
i world torn by hatred is to find it's
way back to God. Included in the
features Of the four-day sessions
were special interracial seminar dis
cussions promoted by its Depart
ment Of Race Relations Of which DR..
George Il. Haynes is executive secre-
tary and Miss Katherine Gardner
associate.
Under the themes, Religious Edu-
cation and Social Action in Race
Relations, and Hindrances and Helps
in Interracial Cooperation in Local
Churches--the sectional discussions
carried the leadership of experts and
reports from communities where
local interracial work is in progress.
DR.. r. Ernest Johnson, director of
research in the federal council and
a professor at Teachers college, Col
umbia university, in opening the dis
cussion on Religious Education and
Social Action in Race Relations, ex-
pressed the feeling that action
though the church or any other or
ganized force can be considered eff
fective only when a social change is
brought about; that declarations
can mean something only when they
are implemented by specific action
for change. "The Oxford slogan,
let the church be the church in race
relations would become a mockery
unless some way is found progress
lively to make the doctrines of the
church applicable in the life and
practice Of the church." he said.

ious education director of the A. M.

In presenting the 17th annual re-
port Of the Department of Race Re

examples of the effectiveness Of the
church when it actually practices
Christianity in community situations
affecting racial minorities. Through
a slow process of education through
action, realizing that the church re-
presents d cross-section of the COM
