Victory In Miami
OUer POm,panO
BY cLYNN ARCHER, JR.,

Key West advanced to the
finals of the Southern Dis
trict Class A Baseball Tour
nament when they defeated
the Pompano Beanpickers
Wednesday at the University
of Miami Field. The Conchs
will play the winner of yes
terday's South Broward-C Cen
trail Catholic tilt at the same
place on Friday.
If the Conchs can come up with
a win in this tilt they viii play
the winner of the Northern Dis
trict tourney for the right to
represent the District in State COM
petition.
Key West was never behind in
Yesterdays contest as they hoped
on Pompano hurler Len Corson for
4 three run lead which they never
relinquished. Ro b lie Lastres,
Conch firstbaseman, started things
off for Key West when he beat out
an infield hit. The next batter,
Eloy Rodriguezs hit the next pitch
right at the shortstop who bobbled
the ball and both runners were
safe.
Donnie Cruz then slammed a
long double into right-center field
and the Conchs were ahead by two
runs. Cruz advanced to third on
an infield out and scored moments
later when Parrish. Pompano cat
cher dropped third strike and
threw wild to first base.
This was the only scoring in the
game as Courson settled down and
allowed the Conchs only two scat
tered singles the rest of the game.
Meanwhile, George Lastres and
Gibby Gates, combined their pitch
ing talents to hold Pompano score
less. However, this was not easy
and the Conch infield saved the
day with some spectacular play.
They handled sixteen chances flaw
lessly and pulled off a sparkling
double play to pull themselves out
of a hole when Pompano had two
men on with one out in the fifth
inning.
In the third frame, the Bean
pickers had their greatest scoring
opportunity of the game when with
Parrish on first. Ed Pinnell singled

Ambassador To US From Iraq

Iraa has an area of 143,240
square miles with population of
4.412,959. 1t embraces the fertile
valleys of the Euphrates and Ii
girls Riversc, and it's position is of
great strategic Importance as it
controls the eastern terminus of
the Baghbad Railway at the head
\ of the Persian Gulf.
When its independence was pro-
claimed, shortly after World War
!, Iraq was placed under Mandate
of Great Britain by the League Of
Nations. The Mandatory terms
were defined by treaty between
England and Iraq in 1922 and ac-
cepted by the League in 1924. In
1927 lraq was recognized by Great
Britain as an Independent state,
and in 1882 the mandate was term
mated. The administrative power
rests with the King and his Cab
met and a legislative body con-
sisting of nominated Senate and
an elected Lower House.
The country consists of vast
plains, fertile and we'll watered
in most sections, but in others re-
quiring irrigation by means of
canals and pumps. The summers
are hot and the winters are very
agreeable. Cotton cultivation is
greatly encouraged by the govern

United Nations Day is an oc-

it ought to be neeighborly one

easier to fulfill that religious in

intervening thousands of years,
mankind was so slow to heed the
counsel of sage and prophet who
told us that all men were related
to one another by virtue of their
relationship to the One and Only
God! What pity that bloodshed

The population of Liberia is en-

Almighty and everlasting God, Thou hast
called all the children of men to be members one
of another and to lift their spirits to Thee as
Father Thou alone art the Source of our conf
dence our strength and hope during these
perilous times.
Grant, we beseech Thee, Thy divine blessing
upon the United Nations and it's work. Under it's
guidance draw together the nations, that in CO.
operation and amity they may, by Thy infinite
mercy bring larger measure of justice and peace
and abundant life to all people. Help the United
Nations, its international servants, and the lead
ers from many lands to work increasingly to heal
the deep hurts of our divided and anguished world.
Strike from our hearts the national self-right-
eousness, pride and selfishness that cause hatred
and division between persons and countries. Teach
us to love one another as Thou hast loved us.
Consecrate each of us anew, that in dealings
with one another and with other nations we may
do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with Thee.
