By Walter Brown


I think that it is about
time that the colored people
realized what Mr.. Brown is
doing at the Boston Garden.
It is my job function to be
observant and 1 couldn't help
noticing the colored employ
eeS working in many capa-
cities throughout the entire
building. 1t is true, that the
Celtics only have one colored
player, but what a player!
walter Brown went out to
the west coast to bring this
boy to Boston and Jackie
Robinson, Jethroe, and Marvin
Williams came here to the
Boston Red Sox' door and
were refused permission to
practice. So, that in itself
is something for the colored
people to know, that they
can be employed at the Bos-
to nGarden. Last Sunday,
the colored fans turned out
in surprising numbers. Many
couples, distinguished business
men, doctors and colored peo-
pie from all walks of life are
becoming interested because
of Bill" Russell and the en-
ployment of colored workers
at the Garden. For the first
time, in my recollection, the
Garden officials employed
three colored ball boys out of
four and these boys were right
out there in a conspicuous
spot where everyone could see
them, no attempt to hide them
in the back room out of sight.
K. of c. Meet
I am not overly enthusiastic
about track, but this was an
interesting meet that kept you
o nthe edge of you're seat
throughout the many events.
My principal reason attend
ing was to see the Olympic
star, Charlie Jenkins, as
had never seen him run. This
boy is all that they said about
him and a little more. also
wanted to see phil" Reavis.
I know his father well, he
also was a very good athlete
in his day. AS the accounts
of the meet have been pub
liShed, I will not repeat them
h ere. Reavis must have a
tremendous spring in his legs,
plus skill and agility to leap
over a bar, six feet eleven
inches. Stead, a local boy,
looked good and may become
one Of the top track athletes
of his college, Villanova. Sow
ell was just marvellous, paced
himself beautifully and won
with ease in the 1000 yds. One
of the most unusual sights
popped up in the SO yd. dash.
TIE first four men were color
ed, Herbert Carper, George
Sydnor, Willie Williams, and
Bobby Gordon. Lou Jones was
sensational in the mile run,
but made his kick too late
and was nosed out by Phil
Coleman.
"Matt" Bland
Since there is so much COM
ment on indignation, I think
that 1t is fitting that the peo-
pie of Greater Boston be APP
prised Of the fact, that Matt"
Bland, the local undertaken,
was an outstanding athlete on
white teams. This was many
years ago, when there were
segregated areas even in
Cambridge where colored peo-
pie feared to go, and mixed
teams were a rarity. 1 hap
pened to read Mats" clip
pings and I was amazed at
what a little fellow like him

MIR. PROUTY'S first intro
duction to an organ was on
the pumping end Of the Con-
gregational Church instru-
ment in his home town of
Newport, VT. 1t wasn't too
hard and he was out Of Sight
where he could relax during
the sermon. His mother pre-
vailed on him to take piano
lessons for about a year, and
he had a whack at the violin,
but found fishing and wood
craft far. more interesting.
But the future congress-
mans interest in music
doomed when he joined the
glee club at BordentoWn, N. j.
Military Institute, and later
the Lafayette College club. He
still likes to sing, but only for
his own amusement.
Then, too. not many con-
gressmen feel like singing
when they come home these
days.

velopment of ultra -highspeed
revolving drills has been the
danger of burning the tooth
when pressure is exerted. This
instrument. which is aircooled
but which can also use a fine
spray of water for cooling, will
automatically stop if the dentist
does more than lightly brush the
decayed area.
Vibrations Minimized
Conventional drills are set in
steel sockets and the patient
feels many of the vibrations of
the machine. This new drill is
set in an insulating plastic
socket which cuts vibrations TO
minimum.
The mechanism is housed in a
small box less than Z inches
square and requires no cleaning
or lubricating whereas many
standard drills do.
DR.. Borden told the dentists
that about II units have been
in use here for nearly a year for
a series of tests before CONNER

that the drill is used like a
brush. You Just wipe away the

prisonment for the murder of a
high school teacher, today was
ordered committed to the Patux-
ent Institute for Defective Delin-
quents at Jessups. Md.
Confinement for an indeter-
inmate period was ordered by
Prince Georges Circuit Court
Judge j. Dudley Digges, who
ruled the former Seat Pleasant
youth a defective delinquent.
Psychiatrists at the institute
reported January % that Pre-
waite is a defective delinquent.
According to State law, court
or jury had to decide whether
the youth should start serving
his term in the State peniten-
tiary or be declared a defective
delinquent and be confined tc
the institute.
The psychiatrists' finding was
not contested today by either
States Attorney Blair H. Smith
or Defense Attorneys A. Gwynn
Bowie and Wilmer d. Pyles.
Prevatte. on November 2, was
found guilty by a circuit court
jury Of numbering Fraser K
Cameron last May 4 as he taught
at Maryland Park Junior High
School. Prevatte. a student at
the school. was sentenced to life
imprisonment by Judges DiggeS
and John r. Fletcher and sent
to PatuXent Institute for exami-
nation.
DR.. William N. Fitzpatrick
associate director of the insti-
tute. testified today that Preyatte
has low frusration point and a
dull normal 10 of 81.
The doctor recommended treat
ment at the institute.
DR.. Fitzpatrick said the boy
thought it perfectly justifiable
that he shoot the teacher"
The doctor added that Pre-
waite has been no disciplinary
problem TO the institute.
IF he's going to be helped al
this tender age it'll be at such
a place as PatuXent Institute.
Judge DiggeS said in rendering
his decision.
Prevatte now may be paroled
or granted a leave of absence by
doctors at the institute.

Even the gay COS was still an
era Of terror in dentistry, marked
by laughing gas" for tooth
pulling and just plain courage
for dentist visit.
Dentists still feel that tht
fear Of children today shown
before a visit to the dentist is
a carryover from the days wher
pain was the inevitable rule,
This is wildly portrayed by ar
exhibit Of antique and the most
modern pieces of dental equip
ment at the 25th annual post

District of Columbia Dental
Society at the Shoreham Hotel
In yesteryear it took at least
several times as long as II does

Evel Paul Revere was a pros
thodontist Ia specialist in max
ing false teeth. The George

contributed set of false teeth
made by the silversmith out OF
whalebone. He advertised ir
