dict. The timer said the shot
was good, an opinion which was
instantly unpopular with at least
half the house.
While the three minute argu-
men went on the scoreboard
still read 60-59, Lafayette, and
when the final score was marked
up this drew an equally loud
response from the supporters of
the officials.
Christmas Again
There would have been no need
for the argument if both teams
hadn't behaved like teen-age San
ia Clauses.
Bluffton blew a supposedly Sc
cure eight point in the third
quarter, then Lafayette turned
around and gave away a six point
lead in the last period.
The Pirates hurtled to a lac
lead at the end of the first peri
cd, then dueled furiously with
Dick Fleming throughout the Sec
ond quarter.
Fleming scored the Wolves
first IL points of the second
quarter and ended with 13 oi
their 18 for the period. He scored
on tip-ins, short jump shots and
a pair of drive-ins past the side
of the sleepy Bluffton defense.
At one time in the second pc
riod the Pirates led 29-18 as the
surprising shooting of Chuck Ba-
ber set the pace. The Wolves
narrowed the lead to 1924 at the
| end of the half.

Losses to ONU and Huntington
Drop Bearers TO 500 LeDeL

The Bluffton Beavers fell flat
on their faces twice in a row
last week, losing to Huntington
77-76 on Thursday and dropping
a 1854 double overtime match
to Ohio Northern Saturday at
Founders hall.
The loss to ONU was Bluffton' S
first Mid-Ohio loss on their home
floor since December, 1857 when
they lost to Wilmington in over
time. 1t cost them undisputed
possession of second place in the
league.
At Huntington the Beavers
came scrambling back to take
the lead in the last 20 seconds,
but the ForeSters' Dean Merry
man sank a 25 foot jump shot
with two seconds to go to win
the game.
The Beavers led by a scanty

Star Staff Writer

After eight years with the
United States Foreign Service.
Mary Reed went to work. in
her own country for the inst
time last June.
Il thought it. was about
time" says the young Amer
Jean.
Ever since college she had.
been serving the State De-
partment by long distance
from the Near East. North
Africa and the Far East.
Mary, a trim brunette with
large blue eyes. spent more
than two years in Port Said,
Egypt: three years in Tangier,
Morocco, and over two years
in Singapore.
And when she came home
last summer she knew a
good deal more about living
conditions for a working. girl
in a foreign outpost" than
about those in the United
States. There's a big diff
ference.
For one thing, Mary ex-
planned, she grew accustomed
to palatial quarters. In Sing.
apore she and another girl
shared an apartment with
four bedrooms, five baths and
a barn-sized living room.
Here she lives alone in a
one-bedroom apartmentD
And for another. she al
ways had a servant. You

In Port Said, Mary was one

port city was at that time. an
international zone with an

ing many Europeans and
Americans. ."It was politically
exciting, without being dan

place to live" Mary recalled.
Even the Office building was
colorful. Morocco, Mary eX-

While working sin this old

While working "in this old

vice consul in Tangier to our
Secretary of State. 1t said If
he didn't get us out Of this
building, it would fall down:

- Mary finished. land we're still
in i'll"
She also told the story
which has been circulating
for some time-of the Sui
tan who generously gave the
vice consul a lion cub for
the President Of the United
States.
"At that time we were so
poor we had no money to
ship 1t home. So the vice con-
sui, to be gracious, had to
keep 1t. Not only did the
lion cub eat him out Of house
and home" said Mary, "but
it got loose one day and ran
through the streets"
The social life in Tangier,
and also in Singapore, was
quite active, Mary said,
though. in general. it's not
as gay in foreign posts as so
many seem to imagine.
You're not perpetually wined
and dined by fascinating
men who kiss your hand and
send you flowers every eve
ming"
There were more cocktail
parties and dances than at
home. she said, and "the OPP
portunity to date other than
Americans was a valuable
experience"
Explanations
Mary was often called upon
to explain certain. American
institutions (such as the
supermarket) and points of
view. She carefully kept
abreast Of the news from
America so she could explain
it whenever possible. Il tried
to put it in perspective"
= Mary's travels woke her
up to a number of things.
II had no idea how much
poverty there is in the world.
I don't think any American
realizes this until he actually
goes out and sees it."
She wasn't referring to the
really acute poverty in some
places, but rather the low
standard Of living of your
so-called middle class, the
wages they make. the fru-
gality of their living. I'm
speaking of the many girls
who make do on one new
dress a year. which they've
probably made themselves.
I'VE have so much we take
for granted in this country"
She also learned to restrain

surroundings and vocal en-
thuSiaSm over all the
sights" Every American

MARYLAND Stands Pat

The Maryland General Assembly
has earned the appreciation of motorists
and the public in general for its re-
lection of proposals for weakening the
States billboard-control law. The sign
board interests made determined effort
to eliminate from the law a provision
making the controls applicable to in
corporated towns and cities as well as
rural areas. Their argument was that
Federal standards under the new anti
billboard provision of the interstate
highway law do not apply to towns and
cities,
AS the antibillboard groups have
stressed, however, the Federal stand
ards are aVowedly bare minimumS with
which the States must comply in order
to receive bonus in Federal interstate
highway aid Congress never intended
to have Stricter State laws modified to
conform with the Federal minimum
requirements. The State Roads Com

in resisting efforts to have the law
modified.
