LETTER TO
THE EDITOR
Dear Editor:

Dear Editor:
I would like to call to the atten-
ton of your readers, the charitable
work that is being done for Negro
boys and girls in Greenwood, Mis-
-sissippi, the scene of the Staying
of the Till boy, of Chicago. The
Sisters of st. Joseph, and the. Fran
ciscan Fathers, of Pulaski, Wis
consin, have conducted a school in
this area for the past three years
for Negro children. They are
working at present under serious
financial burdens as more and
more children seek admittance to
the school. A school lunchroom was
built last September to provide de-
cent eating quarters for the chill
dren. A medical clinic which pro-
vides medical needs for the Negro
people of this area needs medica-
tions of all sorts. Clothes for chill
dren and adults are sorely in need.
1t would be a generous gesture on
the part of readers of this story
to help this noteworthy cause by
helping this Negro mission become
a living foundation to the memory
of young Till. Want to help this
Negro mission? Write to: Sister
Mary Pulchoria st. Francis of AS
sisi Mission, Route 1, Box 28A,
Greenwood, Miss. Sister Pulchoria,
Superior of the Mission, will per-
sonally acknowledge all gifts in
clothing, indications and clothes.
Editors Note: We invite anyone
interested in seeing the many
heartwarming snapshots of the
school, to view them at the SUNS
office.

Plant Pipeline
Plea Studied

BALTIMORE, July 10 (P.-
The State has deferred action
until after Labor Day on a
chemical firms proposal to dis
pose of acid waste through a
submerged pipeline into Curtis
Bay.
The plan was explained yes
terday by officials of the E. I.
DUPONT de Nemours Co. at a
hearing before the State Water
Pollution Control Commission.
Nearly $50 property owners
from Anne Arundel County op-
posed the plan.
The chemical firm proposes to
build a submerged pipeline carry
ing off wastes from the plant
located in Anne Arundle County
Into the deep water. officials
acknowledged that the present
discharge from the plant polluted
offShore waters because of in
sufficient dispersion of the waste.
However. they said that in
deeper water the akalinity near
the bottom quickly would neu-
tralize the waste and carry it
away by tidal action. They said
the pipeline would help clear up
pollution, rather than add to it.

PresidentSiqns

l. The right of the Govern
ment to appeal from District
Court orders granting motions
to suppress evidence in narcotics
cases. Prosecutors have argued
that the right to appeal these
orders was necessary because
once the evidence was sup
pressed, they usually could not
proceed with trial and had to
drop cases against major vio-
lators.
Search Warrants
2. The right to get search war
rants at any hour of the day or
night on probable cause that a
narcotics violation exists. Until
now, search warrants have been
issued on probable cause during
daylight hours but applicants for
search warrants had to have
positive ENTHUSIASTICALLY unob-
tainable-that heroin was on
the premises before a warrant
was issued for a night search.
3. The right of Metropolitan
Police here to get search war
rants in Federal narcotics cases.
Until now local police could not
get the warrants and had to
seek out Federal agents before
going ahead with a raid.
The new Federal legislation
generally tightens penalties for
narcotics law violations. On
sales or gifts of heroin to per-
sons under 18 juries will now
be able to recommend the death
penalty. The minimum sentence
for such sales is 10 years and
the maximum, except where
death is recommended by the
jury, is life Imprisonment and
a fine of $4,000.
Other Penalties

vided:

Sidney Loses To
In State
Tourney Thriller
THE SIDNEY HERALD
Thursday, March ~. 1855

An inspired Butte Central five
came from behind to edge Ana
conda $3.50 and capture the State
Class AA-A basketball champion
ship in Butte last Saturday night.
In the consolation finals Great
Falls Public easily swept past
Butte Public $3.50.
The Eagles of Sidney rated by
one Butte sportSWirber as the
Class of the Glass A league lost
a heartbreaker Saturday morning
to the Butte Bulldogs 67-66 and
were eliminated.
Actually Sidney was the only
Class A representative to give the
larger schools strong competitive
contests. In their first game the
Eagles fell behind in the final
minutes of the fourth quarter and
lost a thriller to Butte Central
1886 but bounced back Friday
afternoon to stop another A n
try, Great Falls Central 82-76.
In three games, although losing
two, Sidney scored 214 points
for a II plus game average and
highest among the eight tourney
participants.
Ironically Sidney outscored
their opponents in field goals in
each of the three contests. Against
Butte Public although losing by
one point the Eagles made eight
more field goals. Even when they
lost by IL to the ultimate cham
ploCS Sidney had one more buck
ct.
The locals, in qualifying for
the state tournament honor five
times In the last six years fin
ished fourth in the Class A con-
ference with a 1876 record. In the
A tournament held here the Ea-
giles we're second behind Miles
City. In all games played this
season Sidney won 16 and lost
IL. A very successful and re-
spectacle record.
Four seniors played their final
for their school last
week. First Stringers, forward Da-
vld JohanSen, and guard Jerry
Smith and reserves Erwin Schmidt
and Phillip Mischief will graduate
in June.
For Jerry and 10 this was the
third trip to Butte. Both were re-
serves and saw plenty of action
when Sidney took second i'm
1854. Lots of luck and success is
wished to these four boys in the
years to come.
Coach Toby Kangas will have
a we'll experienced squad to start
next seasons campaign with sew
an of the III boys who made the
trip to Butte returning and good
material coming UP. A strong
basketball program which starts
