The emily
RoundtubIe
BY ELGIVA BALL

Dear Miss Ball:
Janice and I have a mutual
friend who married into another
race. She now has two children.
When they come to Florida, they
stay with Jan; leave the children
(who are poorly trained and have
a grand time.
But turn about isn't fair play.
When we visit in Philadelphia, they
meet us downtown for lunch or at
the home of another friend, claim
ing colored people aren't allowed
in the neighborhood, even for
visits. She claims that it is her
husbands fault, and that of the
neighborhood. She says after he
builds up his business they'll move
to a better place, yet they're buy
ing the present house. Jan helped
this girl when she first came to
the city, and through the years
continued to help her and even
stood up with her through the
marriage ceremony. Now things
are better and she's dropping Jan.
I truly feel this is mean trick
and know that Jan will be hurt
later, but how can I help her p?
What can I do?
LOla-FlOrida
Dear Lola:
1t is interesting to watch what
happens to many people after they
have achieved a degree of success
or an aim. One would wonder if
the mutual "friend' is seeking to
pass" This causes many problems
and one who does it must face the
issues and resolve them, or bring
on emotional upsets. On the other
hand, maybe your friend is the
type of person who tramples those
she has used to advance her
cause. Such a thing does not en-
nance ones personality. Rather,
it seems to advance one rapidly
for a while, but the final results
are often disastrous.
The girl involved here is using
her husband as a shield. A man
may influence his wife some, but
frequently it is the woman who
sets the social pattern. So, don't
let her fool you. And remember
something else: Philadelphia is a
city where most people pay no at
tention to your visitors and many
neighborhoods are inter-racially
mixed. The excuses given are poor
cover-ups. It would be better to
say nothing and just stay away.
Jan is sure to wake up soon. Let's
hope she will not be hurt too
deeply.

Mast Wins State
eft-Handed Golf
Title Fifth Time
Beaver Coach Not Likely
To Compete In National;
Reno Too Far To Travel

Ken Mast, youthful Bluffton col
lege coach, won his fifth Ohio As
sociation of Left Handed Golfers
championship Sunday at Newark.
Covering the 6,214-yard Mound
Builders Country Club course with a
two-under par SO qualifying round
Saturday afternoon, Mast returned
Sunday to shoot par II for total
14O for the 36-hole play to take the
championship.
Also one of the favorites in the
Lima News 29th annual City Golf

holes Friday afternoon by Ron Bell,
Ohio State university medical stu
dent.
Mast, an all-Ohio basketball player
during his student days at Heidel-
berg college, is the holder of many
trophies won in competition in the
state and national lefthanders
tournaments. He previously won the
state title in 1949, 1851, 1852, and
1853. He was runnerup in the State

While Mast has competed in sew
eral of the national tournaments it
appeared doubtful that he will make

ney August 8-11. He told the News
that the distance of the trip and the
time spent away from home would
involve too much Of an expense.
