ties tend to dictate to minorities
how they should act, live and
breathe-at least, in their rela-
tionship to them.
The refusal Of the minority to
react in compliance to the wishes
Of the majority can cause a con
nict situation
BY conflict situation is meant
those situations in which there is
a struggle for status in our social
order between the individuals or
group Of persons belonging to one
racial group and those Of another.
This struggle is seen in the op-
posing wishes and desires Of the
two racial groups, which, in re-
lationship to each other, are based
on the racial attitudes Of each.
The wishes which clash are those
which apply to the social status
Of the two groups; to the exercise
of ones civil rights Of citizenship;
10 the choice Of occupation: TO the
choice Of neighborhood in which
one lives; TO opportunities and en-
couragement for education and
professional training; to the choice
Of friends and a mate; TO the
places to which one goes for en-.
tertainment and recreation, and
to the respect Of ones fellows
proportionately to ones abilities
and conduct.
When such wishes Of the ma
jority group clash with the wish
e. Of the minority, a struggle
ensues In which each tries to
secure its own wishes The
weapons used in this struggle
include a variety Of forms: Of
suggestion. ridicule, legal COM
bat or violence.

funeral directors. They will cost
about S185.00 per unit
The Joint Commission on Ac-
creditation of Hospitals some time
ago directed that a disaster plan
for the care of casualties be formu-
lated by the hospital, and Mr.. Nc
Comas said he started thinking at
that time how the police protection
and emergency calls could be taken
care of promptly in the same plan.
The station is to be used only
for the transmission of communica-
tions relating to the safety of life
and property. There will be a
direct line to a telephone at the
hospital which will be used for
that purpose only.
In case of medical emergencies
the physicians can be summoned
to the hospital. Should a physician
answer an emergency call and find
himself in need of additional medi-
cal assistance, additional physicians
could be directed to the scene of
the disaster. Should disaster
strike in Friendsville or Kitzmiller
physicians and ambulances could
be so directed. A police emergency
vehicle with personnel can be
directed to the scene of disaster
for the protection of life and prop
erty; also to set up road blocks.
The medical administrator can also
be summoned.
Communication service will be
rendered without charge. The hos
pital will assume full responsibility
for the proper operation of all ra-
dio equipment. The service will
be on a twenty-four hour basis.
Mr.. McComas said the new sys-
tenn should be in operation within
the next three months He added
that this was one of the first such
set-ups in the United States. The
material to be used in the plan is
being purchased through the sur
plus army equipment agency.

an opening at the junction of
Green and Third streets, and 40
foot drive at the northern end of
the lot.
At the trial on August IA coun-
cilmen testified they were of the
opinion there was a definite traf-
fic hazard in the area. Two town
police and Corporal Sam Conrad of
the State Police, also testified to
the same effect.
Concerning the complainants
first contention that the action was
without jurisdiction by reason of
an ordinance July 16, 1923 grant
ing the State Roads Commission
easements on Third street Judge
Fraley wrote he felt the contention
was without merit for the reason
that in the last clause of the ordi-
nance it stated that nothing should
be taken to deprive the Mayor and
Town Council of police power over
the street"
Judge Fraley pointed out in his
opinion that police power was gen
orally held to include reasonable
ordinances and acts designed for
the protection of public safety or
general welfare including elimina-
ton of traffic hazards.
He ruled that the town had not
divested itself of power and authori-
ty to do what it proposed to do to
protect safety of the general public.
Judge Fraley also struck down
the second contention that the ac-
ton was arbitrary and capricious, "
by declaring that such was not the
case here That the proposed action
provided for three entrances for a
total of 10 feet out OF a total of
246 foot frontage.
The complainant producted bust
ness men as witnesses to the effect
that no curbing had been placed
in front of their properties, but
Judge Fraley ruled that they were
not comparable situations-that
there had been no complaints of
traffic hazards there.
Judge Fraley said the court may
not agree with the proposed solu-
ton but that action is within
authority of the Mayor and Town
Council and with no showing of
fraud or bad faith, will not sub
stitute my judgment for that of
the municipal authorities.
He ruled the bill of complaint be
dismissed.

Plan Approved For
New Radio Station

The Federal Communications
Commission announced last week
that D. c. Loughry. Of Vandergrift,
Pa, had been authorized to start
construction on a new radio sta
ton, WFRB, in Frostburg, immedi-
ately.,
According to 33-year-old Loughry,
WFRB will be a commercial sta
ton operated on 740 kilocycles with
250 watts. The station will broad
cast during daytime hours. Loughry
plans to move from his home at
Vandergrift to Frostburg in about
three weeks. Construction will be-
gin on the stations facilities Octo-
Der l, and deadline for the first
broadcast is December l.
Both the studio and transmitter
will be located in Garrett county,
on route SAG, just off route 40. The
company will be known as West
ern Maryland Broadcasting Com
pany.
The permission granted by the
FEC eliminates lifelong dream
of Loughry to own a radio station.
He begin broadcasting near his
home town of Vindex before he was
graduated from high school and
has remained in the radio business
as announcer, engineer, salesman,
singer and TV repairman ever
since.
Loughry had been owner and
proprietor of Carrs Radio and
Electric shop, Vandergrift, for six
years. He was a staff announcer on
radio station WAVL, Apollo, Pa,
for three years and maintained a
program featuring country music
until this spring.
He began preparing his applica-
ton for the Frostburg station dur
ing February, 1857 and submitted
the application to the FEC July
26, 1857. However, it was not until
last week that he received the final
okay to build
Carl describes the program on
the infant station as of variety
type. "Of course, there1l be no
