There is no substitute for pos
tive action in the battle to keep
America free of racial and rel-
gious prejudice. What happened
recently in st. Petersburg, Flo
rida is a good case in point.
In late years -SemitiSm in
st. Petersberg has not been
merely latent. 1t has been deeply
rooted. 1t took outward form

country found their way to st.
Petersburg. To make situation
worse some people in he city
who really had no sympathy with
the intolerance practiced there
and who knew how destructive to

afraid to act.
But the time came only a short
while ago that some younger
citizens of st. Petersburg took
the offensive for Americanism.
First off they campaigned for =
mass rally which was to be ad-
dressed by a nationally promin
ent speaker. It was not an easy
campaign. RumorS began to be
circulated and anonymous let

duced to nothing when the iden-
tity of the individuals responsible
for spreading the rumors was
exposed. After that representa-
ives Of ministerial groups, veter-
ans organizations, and city off,
Gals were invited to take part in
the rally and the City Manager
accepted an invitation to intro
duce the featured speaker. The
ST. PETERSBURG TIMES edi-
torially urged support of the
rally and clergymen, veterans,
and businessmen added their
voices to the growing chorus Of
approval.
The result? 900 people packed
the auditorium where the rally
was held More than 100 others

honest Americans, prominent in
all walks of the ccmmunity's
life, found their voices and, for

With the running of the Rayn-

the eighth season of the Massa-
soft Greyhound Association will
come to a cl2se. On the follow
ing Monday night, Labor Day,
the Bristol County Veterans
Charitable Foundation will take
over for their Charity Week.
Through the medium of this
Charity Week all the veterans
of the American Legion, Veter-
ans of Foreign Wars and Dis
abled American Veterans in
Bristol County benefit.
For the final week Of the Mas
sasoit Greyhound Association
meeting some of the finest grey
hound racing in the history of
the sport in New England is
promised. The. Raynaam. Derby
has come to be recognized ma
tionally as one of the big events
in American greyhound racing
1t was in the Raynhaln Derby
that My Topper, Bit of Buzz and
FlaShy Sir first made their bids
for greyhound greatness. Aud

Greyhound Association offers
another great animal in this
renewal-Flamingo
Never in the history of grey
hound racing in Massachusetts
have so many really fine young
greyhounds been assembled at
any one track as is the case here
at Raynham this year. In addi-
ton to Flamingo there are Swift
Pilot, Miracle Mile, Romper and
Paketta, among others. No one
track operating at the present
time can boast of such an ag-
gregation and certainly there is
none to match Flashy Sir among
the older racing stars.
When this racing aggregation
had laid aside it's worries in be-
half of the Massasoit organiza-
ton they will be fit and ready
to take up the task of aiding the
cause of Charity. All of the stars
will be entered during the week

in charge in name only for the
actual conduct Of the races will
be in the hands Of the capable
staff of Massasoit officials VINO
have been in charge since the
session opened in July.
General Manager Russ Murray
will have returned from England
and Ireland prior to the opening
of Charity Week and it may be
that he brings with him a grey
hound to challenge Flashy Sir
in an International title race.
