Sea Monster
 Seen Near Koke

The fishing of halibut became rather incidental to Capt Henry katasse and his crew on the boat Garfield the other day when they sighted a gigantic mammal with a head the size of a 5O-gallon drum just off Rake.
 The men described the animal as carrying a resemblance between a seal and sea COW, with eyes like cups, a length close to 25 feet. and an approximate weight of three tons. The color of it's head was grayish, turning to brown on its body The head and shoulders look ed to be almost one heavy section.
 According to Dan Bates of the local Fish and Wildlife Service. it sounded very much like the Stel- ler's sea-eow which was thought to be extinct. This mammal formerly inhabited the North Pacific. but was thought to have been killed f by the Russians about the year l76S. Its fearlessness made 1t easy to kill.
 sea-cows differ considerably inI structure from whales. Their bones are heavy, enabling them to remain on the bottom; the teeth are broad and crushing, the lips large and 'noveable and are used to seize sea weeds and other water-plants upon which they feed. The fore limbs are flexible flipper4 and the tail is rounded as in whales.
 The only other ''sea cows" known to exist are those living inI the rivers of the northeastern coast of South America and beyond as far north as the Everglades of Florida, while the "dugong" or In- dian Ocean sea COW lives in the Red Sea and Indian Ocean.
 Bates ventured the possibility the local mammal may be a "sea eIe- phant", found only off the island of Guadalupe. Mexico. They have been known to range up the South ern California coast and fin the areas
 To further authenticate the Gar field crews story. Wilhelm Jordan reported he was told last year a saw a mammal answer the same description last year.

The Civil Rights Congress Delegates

According to newspaper reports the Civil Rights
Congress is sending delegation to Mississippi next
week to protest the execution of Willie McGee Negro

Again we point at the coming of the protest dele

of the Negro have lot to learn before being able to be
of much real help to the Negro in the South
Here too we feel called upon to point out that the

Congress Kills
Plan To Abolish
Electoral College

WASHINGTON, July II - The
House today killed a proposal to
abolish the Electoral College and
to revamp the machinery by which
the nation has named its president
for $50 years.
1t turned down a Senate-passed
resolution that would have submit
ted to the states a constitutional a.
mendment doing away with the
Electoral College system and sub
shutting one based on proportion
ate division of the popular vote.
The Electoral College system
now gives each states total cleo
toral vote to the winning candidate
for president and vice-president.
The proposed change, requiring
ratification by SO states, would
have divided each states electoral
vote in direct proportion to the
popular vote received by the OPP
posing candidate.
House Republican Leader Martin
of Massachusetts assailed the pro-
posal as "a political Pandora's
box"
Instead of simplifying the cleo
ton system, Martin contended, the
change would encourage splinter
parties, give the Deep South the
balance of power in presidential
elections, and "could lead to the
loss of our two-party system of
government"

LIFE AT A
GLANCE
By RAY LAWRENCE

There was once a question as to
whether civilization could recap
ture the peace that once marked
the wind of capricious fantasies en-
circling all efforts to retard that
progress of international unity?
That question has been answered
during the last twenty-four years.
There is no more eagerness about
the future status of what can be
expected. World war II settled
that, and today, civilization is
swinging hopelessly on the branch
of scrupulous internationalism,
watching frightfully for a safe
landing, seeking to avoid the pit
falls of arms conflicts. that come
closer and closer to the door steps.
One might ask how can the
basic strain of inherent precepti-
bility regain that principle of fell
lowshlp so necessary if interna-
tlonal order is to be maintained.
and can a social order endure in a
world of confused nations, each
having as an objective, program
OF selfish interest wholly out of
harmony with the other, smashing
as 1T were, the very fundamental
standard of human idealism +? These
questions too, have been answered
since World War II.
The best theories for interna-
tlonal adjustment is right at this
moment, limping under the Cruel
ing test of criticism. But there is
hope for world in this catastro-
phe, and that is course of philo-
sophy embedded in the roots of the
interior. By the interior is meant
a focus on the devine apprehen-
sion.

CAN YOU SEE YOUR
MISTAKE IN TIME
The Bible tells you to train your
child
With all kindness and respect
And yet you clothe, educate and
feed
And for training right, you neglect.
Who is to blame for the young race
Mother and Father today
Pulling the bride off the child
Then allowing them to go astray.
Don't spare the rod and spoil the
child
Does the Bible tell you all of that
Then why not obey Gods will
1t applies to both black and white.
Some allow their child to go and
come
Not word is said at all
And whenever they see their mis-
take
It's too late-won't even answer to
mothers call.
The Bible said train the child, not
the man
And bend the sapling while it's
young
How can you neglect all of this
And say Gods will is done.
You can not disobey Gods will
Because the people say you are a
big man
You can pay all of your dimes in
church
And at Last you will land in hell.
Why allow yourself to be fooled
With education, money and prizes
You can not accomplish with death
And there is no way you can hide.
Looks like the more degrees you
get
The farther you will drift from
Christ
You become to be stiff neck
And deny a Holy life.
Why not be yourself today
Stop trying to be the other man
You have got to be the little one
If in heaven you expect to stand.
What has become of shame today
1t will condemn you of your wrong
1t will start you on that right road
Where all the saints belong.
