At 7 p. m. sharp, Saturday,
September 16, the Minnesota
Bowling Association will open its
1950-51 season at the Minneapo-
lis Recreation Parlor Alleys,
There will be eight teams made
up of the first forty individuals
whose fees have been paid.
Sponsors will be State jewelers.,
Minneapolis Spokesman, Woodland
Funeral Chapel, w. T. Grant Co.,
Radin's Mems shop, Herman
Glen, Acme Cleaners and Mel
odee Record Shop.
This season the leagues appli-
cation is for membership into the
ABC and the WIBC which means
that each bowler must cooperate
to make the Minnesota Bowling
Association rank the best.
Conduct in the alleys will be
doubly important this season. If
each bowler will make it his
business to report to the alleys at
$40 p. m. sharp, he will be GER
tain to be ready to bowl at z p.
m. sharp. While we bowl we can
be enthusiastic without being
boisterous. We can express our
selves without using obscene Ian
guage. We must remember that
our ultimate aim, is to be sane
toned.
Now that our goal is to become
a part of the ABC and the WIBC,
let's show more cohesion in our
organization by adhering to
league rules and attending asso-
citation meetings every first We'd
nesday of the month at the home
of the president. In other words,
let's maintain a bowling associa-
ton of which we can really be
proud.

as land creatures see out of water
and they have just as much diff
ficulty seeing out of water as
land creatures do when under
water.
1t is possible for fish to see in
their surrounding medium be-
cause Of the construction of their
eyes which are adapted for I'M
derwater vision, however, fish
see poor perspectively and be-
cause of the location of their eyes
on either side of their head are
able to see in opposite directions
at the same time but not directly
ahead.
Most authorities agree that
fish are not stimulated or attrac-
ted by any particular color unless
they are taught to do so. Fish in
experimental laboratories have
been taught to respond to certain
colors and repel others.
AS for fishing, it makes little
difference what color the bait,
the angler uses in lakes and
streams because these fish have
not been taught to distinguish the
difference between colors.

EIkS Convention
By Z. L. Boyd
CONTINUED from Page Onej


of Chicago Temple No. "a.
We made ourselves at home at
the headquarters Of the Missis-
sippi delegation. We met many
old friends including J. C. Gil
liam, grand master of the Missis-
sippi Masonic lodge and Mrs.
Rudd, a sister of J. c. Hutcherson
of Minneapolis.
J. Finley Wilson presided over
the convention in person for brief
periods but much of the time he
kept in touch with proceedings by
telephone and loud speaker from
his room In the Stevens Hotel.
Wilson Given $4,000
The Elk leader was presented
with a check for $4,000 as a
purse in recognition of his service
since 1882 as a leader of the
lodge.
In the grand temple Mrs. Eliza
beth Ross Gordon, grand daugh-
ter ruler was reelected as was
Buena v. Kelley, longtime grand
daughter secretary.
Daughter Elks from 4S states
and the Islands were on hand in
colorful dress to brighten up the
conventions many festivities.
To this writer one of the high
lights of the convention was the
annual oratorical contest under
the direction of the Elks educa-
tional department. Winner of the
contest was youngster William
Brown, who with the other con-
testants spoke on THE Negro and
the Constitution" The winner re-
ceived a cash prize of $3.50 and a
$1,000 scholarship. Five other
runner-ups, two girls and three
boys received $1,000 scholarships
and checks for 500 for travelling
expenses.
Since its founding seven years
ago 657 boys and girls have re-
reived scholarships as the result
of winning the oratorical con-
tests. Last year there were 81
students in schools and colleges
on Elk scholarships.
Another event of the Conven-
ton which attracted great atten-
ton was the presentation of Elks
Elijah P. Lovejoy medal to
Governor Alfred E. Driscoll of
New Jersey. The medal went to
the New Jersey governor as the
individual who did the most in
l949 to advance the position of
the American Negro.
In accepting the award Driscoll
said, Il am not particularly inter
ested in minority groups, but I
am vitality interested in one first
class American citizenship for
ALL"
Driscoll said, "the people of
New Jersey have been trying to
practice six days a week what we
talk about on Sunday, the seventh
day in the week"
1t was a great convention and
it made me proud to be an Elk.
An estimated 10000 visitors in
addition to the s9S delegates were
on hand.
Convention To Buffalo In 81
The convention accepted the in
vitation of Buffalo, N. Y. to en-
tertain the 1851 convention of

reddish-pink gills; scales that stick
