If Tom Kinney seems unusually
proud of Bevo Francis and the
Rio Grande College basketball
team, he's got a right to be. Tom
is an alumnus of Rio Grande and
he well knows the financial diff
culties the tiny school endures.
This isn't the first time Rio
Grande has had good cage team.
however. Several years ago the
Rio Granders were averaging near
the 80 mark and knocking off their
opposition with monotonous regu-
larity. One wonders how all this
publicity will affect Bevo's future.
If he permits it to go to his head
and he flops later in big time
competition, Francis will be an
other of the many athletes who
have been ruined by our over am
bilious sports promoters. He has
broken so many records this year
that he could live on his fame for
many years but fame doesn't buy
groceries and his baby son will
need plenty of vittles. We're all
hoping the kid has good sense,
/ that he continues to learn the
game and goes on to even greater
fame in the future.

I We can't help it we're a month
late for this item, but we want to
1 express the community's gratitude
to Albert Teal for the spectacular
holiday decorations he used at
his Erie Township home. The Teal
house stands way back from Rt.
1853, on the banks of the Portage
River, and this unusual setting was
perfect for the lighting effects
Teal used. He had to work many
nights to plan the decorations and
the special wiring jobs and other
tasks took many more hours. It
was job well done and greatly
! appreciated by all who travelled
the Oak Harbor Road during the
holiday season.

| Hundreds of dead fish are being
sighted along the shores of Lake
Erie and the Portage River but
we understand most of the fish
are of the non-edible gizzard shad
variety. If you have a lot of am
bition, you could gather these fish
and use them for fertilizing the
Indians and pioneers Gid years
ago. The hunting season is over
and the Mallards know it. The
Portage River is almost black with
ducks these days and those who
know claim these Mallards will
remain in local marshes to raise
their young.

sembly in 1872 and 1873 and long
unused. The laws were re-discover-
ed by the late Charles H. Houston
in 1947. Mr.. Houston was chair
man of the NAACP national legal
committee.
The case on which the Court rul-
ed originated in 1850 when three
Negroes were refused service bv
one of the Thompson restaurants.
Suit was brought against the COM
pany by the District corporation
counsel. The U. S. Court of Ap-
peals held the laws inapplicable in
a five to four decision.
On appeal to the Supreme Court
the Justice Department filed a
brief on behalf of the U. S. Gov
eminent asking that the statutes
be held applicable In his comment,
Mr.. Mitchell said that "President
Eisenhower, Attorney General Her
bert Brownell and the District Of
Columbia Commissioners deserve
high praise for the effective man
ner in which they have put the
executive branch of the govern
ment on record in support of no
segregation in Washington restau-

counsel, expressed qualification"
at the Supreme Court ruling.
''While we will know the full reach
Of the decision only after having
opportunity to study carefully the
opinion" he asserted, "this decis-

achievement in the drive to which
the resources of the NAACP are
committed-the complete elimina-
ton of segregation and discrimi-
nation in the United States"
