Load Limits Cut
On 9 Highways

In order to save millions of dol
lars of damage to Ohio's high
ways now weakened by thaws of
the severe winter, Highway Di-
rector T. J. Kaurer ordered
Deputy Director Octave Ammon
of Division Six to post Is per-
cent load reductions on endang-
cred roads in Union County.
Kauer said, "The thaw and ex-
cessive moisture have rendered
certain state highways liable to
damage by heavy traffic. We al
ready experienced many cases
where heavy loads have caused
pavement failure on routes which
have been weakened by thawS. 1t
is our responsibility to protect the
roads to the best of our ability
and at this season of the year it
becomes necessary to reduce load
limits on many of our needs. "
The following roads are now
posted in Union county
SR 38 from Madison County
line north to the junction of US
SO.
SR 81 from its intersection with
SR At northwest to the Marion
County line.

Richwood's Tigers edged By
halia, 1885, for the 1851 Union
County championship, and Broad
way won the consolation champ
ionship by defeating Union, 1882,
last night.
Both games were witnessed by
an overflow crowd. Tournament
officials stated that many fans
were turned away as the doors
were closed at 6:45, IS minutes
before the first contest started.
Both Redwood and Byhalia
showed signs of having the
championship jitters" in the first
quarter, with the Tigers ending
on top, Ga. However both teams
found their scoring punch in the
second period with Byhalia leav-
ing the floor at intermiSsion,
trailing, 2l-16.
Byhalia Amazes Crowd
The whole tournament crowd
was amazed at the Washington
township teams ability of holding
down Coach Fetter's high scor-
ing Tigers. In fact in the last
quarter with 2:35 remaining, Bob
Sherwood scored a fielder to give
Byhalia their first and only lead
of the game, 1888.
Shortly after, however, Rich
woods Dick Griffith scored
foul shot and a two-pointer to
break a 1886 tie. Incidently
those three points were the mar
gin of victory. Griffith had 10
points on 8 fielders and one foul
shot to lead Redwood while
Sherwood was high for Byhalia
with Is points.
Broadway Comes Back
Broadway came back strong in
the second half to wipe out a
one-point Union lead, and go on
to defeat the Wolves. walking

Thurgood Marshall, in discus

Arthur for segregation in troops
in Korea. He said:
I'm the Far East, the navy and

without exception. The refusal of
Gen. Macarthur to do so in the
army can only be explained by
the fact that he was determined
to maintain segregation. There is
no other explanation"

South Ready TO Tear Down
Barriers
Walter White said that more

south are ready to tear down ra-

Thurgood Marshall said suits

QUICK THINKING OF NINE YEAR OLD
LAD SAVES FAMILY OF SEVEN
FROM POSSIBLE DEATH BY FLAMES

The quick action of a nine year
old boy saved the lives of six
persons early Sunday morning
July /, when he awakened to find
his home afire.
Ronnie Perkins, son of Mrs.
Columbus Perkins, 331 Fuller
Ave. st. Paul. was awakened by
smoke which filled the upstairs
of the two story frame house. The
lad ran down the hall warning
his parents, three brothers and
sister, and Miss Josephine Myles,
21, a roomer.
The seven people escaped by
means of a ladder raised to the
second floor by persons sleeping
in the downstairs rooms, after
one member of the family ran a
block to a fire alarm box.
One fireman, Richard McKus-
SIGH and Miss Myles were slightly
injured. The fireman cut his hand
on a broken window and Miss
Myles suffered a cash in the head
when she fell from the escape
ladder.
Fire department officials stated
they found Miss Myles' room
raging with fire on arrival. The
blaze was quickly brought under
control.
Estimated damage and loss was
$500.
Young Perkins quick action
was praised by district fire chief
William Maurer. According to
Maurer smoke and fire had
quickly cut off escape via the
stairway.

speakers were DR.. Benjamin E.
Mays, president G: Morehouse
College, and Philip WilIkie, In
diana State legislator and son of
the late Wendell Willkie.
Despite continuing discrimIna-
ton and segregation, DR.. Mays
saw a new South emerging in the
area of human relations" He con-
trasted the conditions prevailing
in the South Of his youth with
those of today and cited the forces
which had brought significant
changes in this region. Foremost
among these. he indicated, has
been the NAACP which devised an
effective way ito achieve more
freedom and justice through the
federal courts"
The Negro himself" the
Georgia educator said, lis more
determined today to become a
first class citizen" but not deter
mined enough. "If the determine
ton is to be measured by the num-
Der of Negroes who are willing to
pay for their freedoms by fight
ing through the orderly process
of the law and courts and by pay
ing for 1t by contributing annually
to organizations like the NAACP
and the Southern Regional Coun-
Gil, the determination is not very
strong"
But those of US who are de-
termined to make America and
the South the greatest citadel Of
democracy on earth and who be-
lieve that a Christian democracy
is best for US and for all peoples,
better for US than fascism, nazism
or communism, will continue the
fight: convinced that time, the
universe, and even God. fight on
our side"
The South, DIR. Mays noted, has
not voluntarily moved forward.

orders did II extend the ballot 10

Costs Friendship Of COlored
Nations
Color discrimination and segre-
CATION is costing America the
friendship and support Of a bill
lion and a half colored peoples
throughout the world, Mr.. Winkie
told delegates and friends attend
ing the session.
"If these people" young Willxie
said, "join the Soviet side in the
titanic struggle for world leader
ship, we will find ourselves an
isolated island. a garrison state in
Soviet Communist-dominated
world. If they join our side, we, in
turn, are placed in a dominant
position-a position in which we
can much more easily isolate the
Russians.
The leadership Of the dark
skinned nations are, Mr.. Willkie
asserted. liable. well-educated,
sophisticated, and frankly cynical
about Americas professed ideals
because of our treatment Of min
critics"
One Of the best ways to win
the friendship Of these peoples.
the Indiana legislator concluded,
would be the immediate enact
ment of the civil rights program
as introduced In the Senate this
week. Not only In foreign affairs.
but also In domestic affairs. the
American attitude towards minor
