AGED WOMAN DIES IN FIRE

STAMFORD-Na Ann Wea- yer, housekeeper and companion of Mrs. Elizabeth G. Loughran, Long Ridge Rd., was burned to death in a S20,00O blaze last week at the Loughran's residence.
 The body of Mrs. Weaver was found dead in the first floor hall way, between the kitchen and liv- ing room. She was the servant of Mrs. Loughran for forty-five years.
 Dr. R. Crane, Stamford medical examiner, attributed Mrs. Weaver's death to multiple burns.
 Mrs. Loughran was saved by her daughter, Mrs. s. L. Baeyert and Walter Horton. She was treated at her daughters home for burns and later removed to the Stamford Hospital, where transfusions were given. Her condition is listed as critical.
 Rescue Fails
 Mrs. Loughran attempted to save Mrs. Weaver in the kitchen when she discovered the house was afire. She was compelled to go back by the roaring fire and return to the rear of the house. :.
 Fireman Thomas Ritchie entered the front of the house when he found the charred body of Mrs. Weaver.
 The fire began from a defective kerosene range in the kitchen ac- cording to Chief F. Smith and es- timated damage at $20,0OO. It spread from the kitchen through the entire first floor, went through the hall up the stairway to the second floor, then into the attic and through the roof. The range was blown to pieces.
 = The fire began at 5:20 and the firemen fought the blaze for more than three hours and at 8:55 re- call was sounded.
 Mrs. Nancy Ann Weaver was born in Milford, Va. on April 21, 1868. She lived in Stamford for about 37 years. Her body was shipped to Pene1a, Va, for funeral arrangements. As far as it is known, she has no living relatives.

''It is the most serious from every point of view, from the eco- homie, political, moral, ethical and spiritual points of view" she said. "It is the question"
 Mrs. Luce, whose topic was "The Negro Is Our Brother, said at the beginning of her talk that she was impressed that so large an audi ence had turned out to hear her speak about a subject which many persons do not want to discuss.
 Her address, sponsored under Catholic auspices by the St. Thom- as More Guild, was spiced with hu- nor to relieve the deadly serious ness with which she treated her subject. It was enthusiastically re- ceived by the audience.
 "In race relations" Mrs. Luce said, "there is every reason to hope in America Despite all the gloom, little by little, every day in every way, the situation is getting bet
 'sTo an amazing extent we in the United States have done away with racial prejudice. We have made great strides, but the prejudice against the Negro is still the great blot on the American flag" . Solution In Christ
 The Negro question, the speaker said, can be solved only in terms of Christ, since that is the only solution that we as Americans would accept. The Communists, she pointed out, also have solution, but theirs, as all their solutions to various problems, would begin in hate and violence.
 eve know that racial prejudice is generally born of feeling of economic fact and lack of Chris tian beliefs. I find that all racial prejudice is in direct proportion to

the intellectual and spiritual worth of an individual.
 "I do not know one educated or spiritual man who is really pre- judiced. It has become a mark of an ignorant mentality to hear ra- cial prejudice"
 The speaker then proceeded to explore what she termed the myth of racial inferiority in individual Negroes by mentioning famed and respected Negroes who had achieved honor in various fields, ranging from the prize fight arena to the concert stage.
 ''The Negro" she added, "has been in one Buchenwald or another ever since he came to America in chains. If the Negroes are inferior as group, it is in the same way that the prisoners at Buchenwald were inferior-because they had CTS.
 And it is sheer folly for us to keep the Negroes inferior. If you want to keep a man in the gutter, you have to sit there with him. The cost of our attitude to us has been staggering economically"
 Mrs. Luce appealed to Catholics to do their part to eliminate racial prejudice. Questions asked after lecture requested her opinion about inter-marriage among white people and Negroes. She answered that she considered it unlikely in most cases that members of the two races would care to marry because their interests would not be similar and because their chances for happiness in our present society would not be good. However, there is nothing wrong with inter-marriage, she said.
 The speaker was introduced by the Father Edgar Verhoest. Other speakers were Father Frederick J. McTernan, Guild chairman, and Arthur Rackley, chairman of the lecture series.

Appeal Jim Crow At Texas Univ.

WASHINGTON-In an effort to obtain a Supreme Court decision invalidating segregation in public education, Thurgood Marshall, MA ACP special counsel, has filed a petition asking that the court re- view the case of Herman Marion ,Sweatt against the officials of the University of Texas as a preimi- nary stop.
 The petition asks the U. s. Su- preme Court to reconsider former rulings which upheld the doctrine of Separate but equal' facilities for public education.
 Sweatt, a Houston Negro, was denied admission to the law school of the University of Texas to which he applied for admission on Feb ruary 26, 1946, solely because of his race. A petition for a writ of mandamus to compel the univer- sity to admit him was dismissed by state court on December IT, 1946, after the state had promised to establish law school for Ne groes.

 Noting that two of the defend ants were officials of the Maryland Progressive Party, Judge Herman M. Moser observed that it seemed clear to him that the group was "endeavoring to make political suckers out of large group of our population"
 The fines ranged from $1O to S15 and the prison sentences ranged to eighteen months.
 By the nature of the charge, the state avoided a direct test of se- gregation policies in Baltimore's municipal parks.
 Judge Moser said that suspend ings the sentences and putting the defendants on two-year-probation would prevent claims of martyr dom.

NEW YORK-The need for more and better-trained leaders was stressed here in a study of na- tional problems of Negro educa- tion released by the Office of Edu- cation of the Federal Security Agency Tuesday.

Besides an elaborate array of eats, the sportsmen will enjoy a prominent coach as guest speaker. Last year, Lou Little of Columbia University, graced the event. Short talks will also be given by Bill Loika, head coach of football, bas- ketball, and baseball and Larry "The Whip" Amann, cross country. swimming and track coach.
 Allyn Martin, smooth striding quarter miller, earned his letter in track as sophomore. Robert Clark displaced superior endurance on this years cross-country team. Though only sophomore, Bob fin ished among the first five in sev- era1 meets, thus becoming entitled to his letter. Yours truly will be there also, having tucked upon a swimming letter.
 On Thursday evening, March IT, the Broad Street auditorium was the site of the fiery and clever an- nual Patterson Debate between the Hopkins Debating Club and the Hartford Public High School De- batting Society. The topic of dispute was whether the United Nations should be replaced by a Federal World Government. Art Spada, Ralph Davis (team captain), and Allyn Martin, H. P.

 Senior Mite COnfab
 On Saturday evening, March 19, the 35 seniors of our city's' high schools and their parents were guests of the Sigma Phi Lambda Sorority at Senior Mite Confab at the North End Community Gen. ter

 Miss Betty Shepard, president of the sorority, presented the opening remarks and gave a brief history of the organization. Dave Holmes introduced the guest speaker, Mrs. Ethel Hale.

 I am a young widow with one child, and would like very much to marry again, since I think that my baby needs a father. Since my hus- band was killed in the war, Junior does not know anything about his father; and I have to be away from home most of the day, so he hardly knows me.

I like him very much, and his two children really need a mothers care fhey have been brought up very badly), so there are some very
 good reasons for us to mar ry.
 My husbands parents are very much against our getting
 married. They think it's too big a chance for me to give up my pension when 1t might not work out. Besides, they think this man will take their son's place for Junior and me.

Golf Instructions

TWO men, neither of champion
1 ship class, and whose knowledge
of the rules of golf was no more
accurate than their technical knowl-
edge of the various shots, were
standing on the first tee of a golf
course. The first fairway was bor-
dered on the right by a row of oak
trees.
One ct the men teed his ball and,
taking swing, sliced to such an
extent that the ball struck one of
the trees fairly, and came bound
ing back over the tee, so that the
player in question, without moving
from his stance, caught the ball
in his hand as it was passing.
With a bewildered look on his
face, he turned to his opponent and
asked what shall do now?"
His opponent, without studied eff
fort or inclination to make a joke,
replied: "Tee it up, hit it again,
and then put your hands in your
pockets"

Stamina and Speed

When you measure the old against
the new, you run into deep trouble
In the matter of timing AND
inches, in the way of measure.
nents, the years prove that the
modern stars outclass most Of
those who belong to the past They
run faster-or at least just as fast
They jump higher or further. They
keep breaking records.
Wherever you can use the stop
watch or the measuring tape,
the new years bring you new
champions. But you can't meas
ure baseball and football. You
cant measure the days when
Walsh and johnson and Math-
ewson and Alexander pitched
over 400 innings season
against the stars of today who
pitch from $50 to 300 innings.
As we check back we find the
old-timers lead in stamina and
fortitude-the new stars lead in
speed and quick records.
II may be that since the inven-
tion of the automobile, no one ever
walks anymore and leg power is a
missing factor.

ina. We have pretty fair runners

Fudge is now 81 years old.

minutes in % consecutive games.
His substitute never got to play.

long afterwards. But you don't

to get hurt.
''If you don't mind, you might
also mention that Snake Ames was
greater all-around athlete than
Glen Davis or any other college
athlete. Snake was the greatest
college player I ever saw. He was
also the greatest college baseball
player I ever saw. He held three
big league teams to less than five
hits and beat them all. He was also
a great golfer. I've paid to find that

Either the football players Of

tougher and rougher and had
more fiber than the present
bunch-Or the game today is
far rougher than it used to be.
Walter Eckersall was a good

pounds, Eckie could travel go

much too rough.
