Mid-Six Lead In
61-58 Victory
BY PETE CONWAY

Last Friday night at the Grove
City gym, London's Red Raiders
beat the Grove City Greyhounds
by score of 81 to So in a Mid
Six battle. This win put the Raid
ers out in front of the league by
game and half.
In the first quarter The Raiders
got off TO a good start by leading
the Greyhounds by a score of 20
to IL at the end of the first period.
In the second quarter Grove City
fought hard to go ahead of the
London boys but they just didn't
seem to have the steam, and the
half ended with London leading
Grove City by six points. In the
third quarter Grove City still
couldn't overcome the lead which
the Red Raiders held, and the
third quarter ended with London
still leading Grove City by a score
of 40 to IS. In the fourth period
the Greyhounds began to come
back, but they still couldn't get
ahead of the Raiders. The closest
the Greyhounds could get to Lon
don was a tie, but this didn't dis
courage the Raiders, for they
again poured on the steam and

Last Monday not only started
off new six-weeks period at Lon

well. Of course this meant report
cards along about Wednesday
noon, which really made it a red

cheer up kids, only about four

Since there was a teachers

this meant a halliday holiday for

they had to go to school anyway.
The Sophomore, Junior, and
Senior English Lit classes had a

feeling that FAC is doing an out

Speaking of the refugee situa-
ton as he found it, Mr.. Rogers
said that they need at least four
times as much food and clothing
as we have been sending in order
to meet minimum needs. He also
stated that he found workers, ref

days and nights of service to the
people who need their help, saying

when every householder, factory
and store owner should start a
general check-up Of their premis-
es. Since 81 per cent Of all home
fires start in the basement, It
would certainly seem that the
home owner should clean the de-
bris from his basement that has
accumulated over the past several
months. This may consist OF
Christmas wrappings, discarded
toys, paint and oils and other
things commonly found in base
ments. Don't make your basement
a catch-all. When you have fin
ished with the basement, 60 to
the attic and clean it up too.
Factory and store owners
should check their housekeeping,
wiring, and storage OF fiammable
liquids. The first of the year is
the time to check all first aid fire
extinguishers to ascertain if they
are in good condition and proper
ly serviced for the months to fol-

laughs.
Whatever it was, something
really got into the team when they
beat Westerville on Tuesday, So
Sc, and Grove City Friday, 61-58,
in two of the most exciting games
so far! We're awfully proud of our
Raiders, for it took a lot of work
on their part to win, but it sure
paidoff.
Both the reserve and junior high
teams had plenty of determination
but not enough luck in their games
last week; the Reserves were de-
feated by Westerville, 31-25, and

This and That

Garden pictures are only incidentally
made by man.
Nature does most of it,
For instance, there is small Chevy
Chase garden where every morning the
uprising sun manages to throw few
rays back into the dark cavern Of
fence corner.
And there. suddenly, is picture no
artist could paint.
The golden rays make every plebian
mesh in the fence stand out in burnt
gold. and the old althea bushes alive
with color.
Stage technicians might strive for
this precise effect. but they could never
quite achieve it, no matter how many
fancy lights they had.
Nature does the work easily, because
she is at once the stage. the scene. and
the stageSetter, to say nothing Of being
the master electrician.
Only it. isn't electricity she uses, but
sun power, and there is nothing to
beat that.
The sun gives the best flower pictures.
Then the new yellow lilacs, and the
enormous daffodils in their season, and
the latest in tulips
These will need no other hand to
show of their glories than that of the
sun, coming so far to do so much.
We have never quite understood about
those sun rays.
They originate so many millions Of

or at least very little to do with It. that
the real color changes come from
chemical changes in the leaves.
Most Of us will let the scientists
wrangle over this. Wrangling seems to
be their modern speciality. Where once
they were the harbingers of glorious
future, now they are the achievers of
the great blow-up: and heaven knows
what next.
Nature goes right ahead, since she
contains everything, both the scien-
fists and their bombs, the red leaves of
autumn and the tender new ones on
the rose vines in the spring.
Nature is large, she has bombs Of her
own, as well as her pictures, and a
multitude of little pale gray creatures.

with their multitudinouS colors, makes
universal appeal. Last fall, as we recall,
the display was not UP to usual.

Virginia Not So Progressive

The State and the people of Tennes-
see have again demonstrated that they
are more progressive than their sister
Southern State, Virginia.
Early last month, Tennessee an
nounced plan of adherence to the de-
cision of the United States Supreme
Court against segregated education,
which it will present to the court in
8 October. Later in the month, the reo-
Pile of Tennessee went to the polls,
without poll tax hindrance as known
to Virginians, to give Senator Estes
Kefauver an overwhelming renomina
ton for the Senate.
More than 720,662 Tennesseeans
voted in all to set new record for the
State, Senator Kefauver received 460,-
141 of these votes, or 50 per cent of the
votes cast.
Tennessee had q population of
3,291.718 in 1850, as compared with the
$685. people in Virginia. In 1852,
Tennessee had 1,976,548 persons 81
years of age and over. Virginia, where
in the people have not been successful
in their move to repeal the poll tax. as
have Tennesseeans, had 2.025 ,339 eli
gible voters, or some 46,791 more than
tennessee.
Only 1859 virginians (about 81 per
cent of those eligible) went to, or could
go to, the polls to vote in the historic
1852 presidential election; whereas,
892, 2,553 Tennesseans (about so per cent
of those eligible) "got to the polls"
Only 407 7,612 Virginians voted in the
heated gubernatorial election last year.
Thus it can be interpreted from these
figures, in comparison with the State of
Tennessee, that the Commonwealth of
Virginia is gravely retarded when it
comes to progress. The Commonwealth
has no idea yet as to what suggestions
(if any, destructive or constructive 1t
will present to the Supreme Court next
month. Gov. Stanley and the others
in authority seem afraid to face the
question as has Tennessee.

that the men and women of the World
Council and its assemblies will have

bombers had been trying-a often
failing-to hit their targets from high
attitudes because of overcast and high
velocity winds over Japan. LeMay sent
the .bombers in at only 5000 to $4,000
feet. He gambled that this tactic
would confuse enemy antiaircraft gum
ners. He was right. His B29s began
plastering their targets right on the
nose.
Since taking his SAC command, Gen.
LeMay has fought to achieve the goal
Of an intercontinent bombing force,
capable oftcarrying out its war mission.
The mission: Destroy the enemy's bomb
bases. smash the enemy's war-making
power by destroying his industries and
communications. and support the
ground forces.
He pulled around him the men he
wanted, reorganized the operations, and
began training his people as though
war might come in the next "a hours.
SAC still operates on that principle.
Today Gen. LeMay commands
roughly 10000 men. His command
extends over the 18th Air Force at Riv-

Adyentists Free to Criticize

The letter Of Wilbur La Roe, jr.. in
The Sunday Star. September II. takes
Carlyle B. Haynes, Seventh-Day Ad-
ventist clergyman, to task for his ap-
praisal of the Evanston Assembly of the
World Council of Churches, suggesting
that he is hardly qualified to criticize
the council for lack of unity inasmuch
as the Seventh-Day Adventist Church Is
not member of the Council.
In fairness to Mr.. Haynes. 1t should
be pointed out that his letter very clear
