Milton and Milford have been
sports rivals down through the

already made its debut in the ALI
Delaware circuit, the actual
strength Of the A. A. is still some

better players did not see action

With little Irv Bowls pacing the

was knotted at 53-all with less than

dropped one in from half the length
of the foul alley to pull Harring-

When Grand Dragon Green of the

speak before the applauding state

the hooded gang.
AS the students began to get the
upper hand, Green fell back on the
old standby, "a Negro will ask to
marry your daughter"
Then came the pay off - the best
reply yet: "She can always say no,
the hecklers chorused in unison. To

Mr.. Quigg And XXX

Commissioner H. Leslie Quigg is
to be commended for having spon.
sored the anti-Klan ordinance adopt
ed by the city last week.
The legislation was a fine gesture
on the part of the city fathers and
a potential deadly blow at the feeble
Khan movement in Miami.
The ordinance prohibits under
the penalty Of a fine Of $500 and a
jail sentence up to so days for cross
burnings, mask wearings for pur-
pose Of concealing the identity lex.
cept additionally holiday masks"
The ordinance was the toughest the
city could have enacted.
The law, however. will not stop
the xxx. If enforced it should dis.
courage its growth and reduce its
operation within the city limits, but
will possibly drive them to the out.
skirts of town, where they can re.
main pest. At least until state
law is enacted outlawing them. The
ordinance does give us reasons to
expect the end of the Klan's un.
challenged shameful acts and even.
tually its oblivion.
This, of course, will make little
difference in life and action of Mi.
ami Negroes. For here, the fear of
the Khan no longer exists - their
cross burning and masked paraders
do not frighten or lessen our de-
termination for justice. These &C.
tivities only annoy and degrade Mi
ami
While we believe the Khan to be
a dying organization in Miami, we
applaud the city action. We furth.
er urge a similar enacted law by the
county commission. Every effort to
hasten the death of Khan should be
utilized.
AS for Mr.. Quigg and his past.
He, in presenting the resolution, has
redeemed himself in the eyes Of
colored people and an faitmined
people. His act in this case and

upon him as a rational thinker,
fair in decisions and tolerance. May
