fuzzy faced Sox and moved them
in to fourth place
The Athletics poked three Of Ned

with the bases empty. The victory
was the first this year for Carver

XIV. Wins Second
Straight On Friday

The Key West High School cap
tured its second straight win last
night over the Homestead Grow
ers by a 12-4 score behind a fine
six hit hurting performance by
Gibby Gates. The Conchs could do
no wrong when they jumped on
two Homestead pitchers with an
eleven hit assault.
The Conchs jumped on the visi-
tors for enough runs to win the
ballgame in the second inning.
Homestead hurler Del Ennis left
the mound in this frame when he
fell victim to q furry of wildness
in which he walked four batters.
Clint Warren, Conch leftfielder
supplied the clincher when, play
ing in his first ballgame for the
locals, he smashed a clean single
into rightfield. It was the only hit
d. the uprising.
Key West Coach Paul Davis Jug
gled his lineup repeatedly In the
contest to get a look at the entire
Conch bench under game condi-
tons.
Bob Lastres, rangy Key West
first baseman, led the locals at
the plate with a double and triple.
Jerry Pita and Eloy Rodriguez
each had a pair of singles in the
win. Rodriguez also poled triple.
Sammy Sincere was the big gun
for the Homesteaders.
Next start for the Conchs, who
clinched a spot in the District
Playoffs with a win over Home
stead on Thursday will be next
week with Constance High of Mia
mi.

College Ere edom

When President Eisenhower
chose President Conant Of Har
ward for the post OF American
High Commissioner OF West Ger
many he picked a man who
thoroughly understands the ma
ture of democratic freedom. The
colleges and uniycl sites Of the
United States will sorely miss the
presence Of 50 distinguished and
fearless champion i'll the diff
cult days that may lie ahead of
them
This is emphasized by President
Commits last academic report be-
fore leaving for his new diplomatic
duties II contains a ringing as
scrtion of his faith IN American
higher education and clear-cut
warning against the destruction
of the independence Of the uni
verSitieS and colleges by any gov
ernmcntal agency Inyestlgative
Or otherwise.
Dr. COnant'S own patriotism
and knowledge of the American
educational field are beyond
question He has sad repeatedly
that nc would oppose the appoint
ment Of any Communist to any
sort OF teaching position in the
United States. He reltcrates that
there are no known Communists
on his own staff and that he does
not believe there are any secret
ones. He states clearly that if any
man OH any college faculty
actually be engaged III subverSive
activities he hopes the govern
ment Will ferret out such a one
and prosecute him.
But in so doing he warns. this
must not create AN atmosphere
N which professors would be
afraid to speak freely on public
issues Already, according to
responsible and competent OBJ
servers. an atmosphere of timidity

burning less hazardous.
This prohibitivc measure has greatly
lessened the number of forest fires in Nir-
ginia. However, strict adherence to this law
does not relieve responsibility for starting
a forest fire. Both civil and criminal actions
can be taken regardless of adherence to the
prohibitive bush burning law. It might be
pointed out that lawful burning and care
for safety in burning have value in such
actions.
All forest fires are not the result Of
brush burning. Other major causes are care
less smoking in the woods, tossing Of light
ed cigarettes from cars on the highways and
failure to completely extinguish camp fires.
Relatively few fires can be traced to incendi-
aries, most fires being caused by thought
less carelessness of man.
The forest industry is one of Virginia 5
most important, and when the natural re-
sources are destroyed by carelessness. the
entire state and every citizen suffer. Forest
products in this area of Virginia constitute
the basis of much wealth and income. There
fore, it is doubly important that extreme
care be taken during the next ninety days
to prevent forest fires and destruction Of
our important industry.
Please keep this in mind hourly.

has developed on many college
campuses. The Associate Commits
Sioner Of Education of the State
of New York has SAID that many
professors are completely leaving
out controversial issues" for fear
Of having the Red label pinned on
them
Concerning this situation Presi-
dent Conant says:
1t would be a sad day for tho
United States if the tradition of
dissent were driven out of the
! universities, For it is the freedom
/ 10 disagree, TO quarrel with au-
thority on intellectual matters, to
think otherwise, that has made
this nation what it is today
Our industrial society was plo-
Eeered by men who were dissen-
tiers. who challenged orthodoxy IN
some field and challenged it
successfully. The global struggle
With communism turns on this
very point.
Communism cannot tolerate
dissent, that is the reason
palty-line Red is incapable of
maintaining the attitude of free
inquiry on which democratic edu-
cation rests. But Dr.. Conant
points out that how TO reconcile
this essential tradition of dissent
with the need for national unity
IN the face of danger is one of the
major problems now facing our
universities.
Surely the first responsibility
for keeping the colleges free from
SubverSion lies with educators
who are SO dedicated to the great
traditions Of intellectual freedom.
DR.. Conants report deserves care
full consideration by those who
may have lost faith in the basic
health of the American system.

Lovely flowers and birds that sing?
Or Of blooming summer time,
Scents of violet1 and thyme,
Or of perfumes sweeter still,
Fragrant roses in their prime?
Or Of streams that wind and creep
Flowing where the shade lies deep:
Through a field Of huttcrcupS,
Where the little brides chrep?
Or Of water flowing cool,
Splashing into dark pool
From IA gushing spring above,
With each drop q sparkling jewel?
Or Of dawns in morning skies
And the tinted clouds that rise
Drifting in reflected light
Till their beauty fades and dies?
