slightly more light than at the last quar-
ter. This is due to the distribution Of

the western, and when the moon is at
first quarter 1t is the western half we
see.

green ribbon. The purpose was to pre-
vent mistakes in rank, due to soldiers
not knowing their officers by sight.

tion?-M. M.

solvent.

Sure It's A Great Day for the Irish
And Everybody Else, Too, Almost.


And Everybody Else, Too, Almost.
One of the interesting aspects of st.
Patricks Day is that nearly every one
celebrates it. You don't have to be OF
Irish descent to respond to its cheer. Is
it because springs in the air, or just
around the bend? Or because it's COM
forting to be assured, when We hear
Killarney" sung, that angels still fold
their wings and rest in that Kingdom OF
the Blessed?
The real reason for this cosmopolitan
character of the day on which we honor
st. Patrick is the great Irish Diaspora.
Her exiled children have roamed around
the world. It was interesting to me this
past summer when visited Dublin again
to run into people from Johannesburg,
Brazil-even -AuStralia-who have jour-
neyed to the Green Isle, as to Mecca,
to visit the land of their parents birth.
st. Patrick is symbol OF that Irish
spirit. Many people are apt to feel all
Irishmen are Catholic, but this is not so.
1t is true that Ireland is predominantly
Catholic country, but many of its great
political and military leaders were Prot
estant: Parnell, Wolfe Tone, Robert En-
met, to mention few. And so are many
of it's famous literary figures Protestant
Bernard Shaw, Yeats. Lady Gregory.
DR.. Douglas Hyde, founder of the Gaelic
League. Dublins horizon is not ethnic.
Trinity College has students from all
over the world.
No matter what ones political or re-
ligious background might be, ST. Patrick
is the symbol of that land which pro-
duced them. And after is centuries Of
celebrating his day, we might as well
accept the fact that it Is here to stay.
HELEN HERBERT PECK.
Now that March II is here, do not
doubt we will hear from the Irish.
If Ireland is little lump of heaven
dropped out of the sky. I suggest the
Irish never should have left heaven in
the first place, or should go back if they
made the mistake of leaving heaven for
such place as the United States.
This would give the rest of us
breathing spell for while.

'It Was Just Dog
OF No Particular Breed"
If every motorist who has ever run
over and killed some child's dog could
have heard the heartbreaking, uncon-
trollable sobs of my little boy Tuesday

lust dog" of no particular breed,
but my boy loved him. and is grieving
for him.
We're not able to buy him good dog,
but If some of your kind readers should
happen to have a small brown male dog
they would like to give away. I'm sure it
would help at present to ease the childs
hurt and disappointment.
1t seems to me, as it must to others
who have had this same sad experience,
that it's just unnecessary to drive SO
fast that it's impossible to stop when
necessary. 1t might have been a child,
instead of dog.

Senator Byrd Called Human
Counterpart of American Eagle

Senator Byrd Called Human
Counterpart of American Eagle
When the Bard of Blair House made
that crack about there being "too many
birds in Congress" he unintentionally
spoke the truth.
There are too many "buzzards" on the
Hill, awaiting chance to ram the New
Deal socialist program down the throats
of the taxpayers.
There is one Byrd, though, who stands
head and shoulders above the other
birds. He is symbolic of all that is
strong and courageous and wise in this
great land-a human counterpart Of
that rara avis. the American eagle.
AS long as there are birds similar to
Byrd in the halls of Congress, there is
little likelihood that the Statue of Free
dom will topple from her perch on the
dome of the Capitol. SCREAM.

Although they failed in their at

and trip to Columbus, the Shaw
baseball team achieved their other
goal, the winning of the Lake Erie
League championship. The Car

by edging Lorain, 2-1, in pitch
er's battle in the Steel City last
Saturday.
The Cardinals drew John Mar

were surprised when the under

cision. The East Clevelanders tall
lied their lone marker in the Sec

the count with an unearned run in

he walked two and hit one batter
before issuing pass to Pinch

Blank Heights
The Cardinals recorded their
eighth victory in ten league starts
as they concluded their circuit
schedule by blanking Heights,
20, here Monday. The game was
abbreviated, called in the last
half of the fifth lining when a
downpour flooded the diamond.
However, the weatherman favored
the locals for change, holding off
just long enough for Don Sexton
to retire the Heights batters in
the top half of the fifth. Racing
against the oncoming clouds, Sex
ton lost no time between pitches
retiring three men in order after
walking the first man to face him
in the final frame.
Shaw pushed across run in the
second inning when Ken Horton
singled, stole second, went to third
when the ball went into center
field on q bad throw from the
catcher and scored when Third
Baseman Jed Weisman let the ball
get past him on the return from
the outfield. The Cardinals added
an insurance marker in the fourth
second and scored on Mike Vara's
when Don Kramer walked, stole
single, his second hit of the game.
Sexton lost a bid for a no-hitter
when Weisman doubled in the Sec
ond inning for the only Heights

College Students Recommend 1855 As
DeadIine For All Racial Barriers

NEW YORK (NNPA) = The
Student Board of Columbia Col
lege has recommended to Colum-
bia University that October l.,
1856, be fixed as the deadline for
all college organizations to abolish
written racial and religious bar
riers in their constitutions, it was
announced last Thursday.
Members of the board said the
resolution was aimed specifically
at seven of Columbia's sixteen
fraternities.
Copies of the resolution were
sent to Columbia's Committee on
Student Organization and to Cen
eral Dwight D. Eisenhower, presi-
dent of the university.
Although the resolution contain
ed no suggestions for enforce
ment, Gene Courtiss, chairman OF
the student board, said the univer-
sity could take action against
groups which violate the deadline
by revoking their charters, deny
ing them the use of university
facilities and privileges, ad by bar
ring such groups from Pamphrat-
ria, the campus inter-fraternity
organization.
The student board took the ac-
ton in response to a vote in May
by the college student body, which
put itself on record as favoring
a deadline for the elimination OF
written racial bias clauses in cam
pus organizations.
In February, the inter-frater-
nifty council announced it had urg-
ed the member to work through
their national organizations for
the removal "as soon as possible"
of membership restrictions based
race, color or creed.

Review Park
Discrimination
Case
Case

WASHINGTON, DC. (NNPA)
The United States Supreme Court
is asked to pass on the legality OF
the action of the Baltimore Park
Board of Recreation in refusing to
permit interracial recreational ac-
tivities in public facilities in that
city.
The petition for a revew Of the
judgement of the Fourth United
States Circuit Court of Appeals
upholding the action of the Fed
eral District Court for Maryland
dismissing suit for injunctive
relief and damages of $5OO,OOO
because of the exclusion of the
petitioners from public recrea-
tional facilities in Baltimore.
The District Court granted the
motions to dismiss on the ground
that, under Maryland law, the
park board had the legal author
ity to require racial segregation.
No question was raised as to
separate but equal" facilities
provided for white and colored
persons. The petitioners contend
that the question is novel because
it involves the constitutionality of
the act of the recreation board in
barring white and colored persons
from associating together volun-
tarily in recreational activities.
They say there is no statute,
ordinance, or written rule decree
ing segregation in sports activi-
ties in public facilities in Balti-
more, and there is no prohibition
against Joint sports participation
among groups of citizens in Balti-
more.
The petitioners are twenty-one
in number, some adults and some
minors, some white and some col
ored. They sued the park board,
the Mayor and the City Council
of Baltimore to restrain the en-
forcement of a rule or practice
providing for racial segregation in
athletic activities.
According to their original COM
plant, mixed basketball team
was refused permission to play
Fourteen persons, white and col
ored, sought damages for being

fused permission to play golf on

clusively for colored golfers.
