 tending the recent meeting of the Western Alaska High School Act ivities Association meeting held at Paxson Lodge near Gakona, and surprisingly was the first Nome representatives to attend one of these meetings.
 The new A, B, and c divisions established at the spring meeting were confirmed and there are now four class A basketball teams Anchorage East and West, Fair banks, and Palmer. These teams represent the four high schools having the largest enrolment. The next six teams, by enroll ment, are B teams. They are Sew ard, Kodiak, Kenai, Nome, Eiel- son, and Monroe Catholic of Fair banks. The remaining eight teams are classed as C teams.
 Under the new plan there will be three tournaments. The B and c journeys will be held concur rently in February 1860. The B tourney at Eielson but the C tour ney site has yet to be decided.
 The next week the A tourna- ment will be held at Anchorage. Under the new program (and the important part of it as far as we are concerned the winner of the B and C journeys will automatic ally have the right to enter the A tourney, in fact, so will the run ners-up in the B and c if they so desire. Ultimately the winner of the A tourney will play the Southeastern champion for All Alaska honors one week later.
 We are. aware of the lapse of time involved should B or C team be strong enough to go all the way into the All-Alaska, but for the first time it is now pos sible for just that to happen.
 Prior to this the B's could never expect to enter the All Alaska playoffS by virtue of the fact that they were never considered. For several years the Western Alaska champion entering the All-Alaska playoff has not been truly rep resentative champion because several smaller so-called B teams were never given chance to compete.
 We now have that opportunity and when that one good year coMes and we possess all the fac tors necessary to having a cham pionship team, we can go all the way-and we will
 The association also established the Band and Chorus Festivals for this year under dual program. The band festival will be held at Fairbanks in February and the chorus festival at Anchorage in February also. I happened to reg ister the only dissenting vote as CO1lSIQC1 IllC p1OS1 dlIl IOO SOoI1J for schools of our size. We could not afford to send two groups to two festivals, particularly when our people would participate in both activities.
 It was also decided that the sponsoring groups Fairbanks and Anchorage) provide housing Fri day night only. Participants are expected to arrive Friday mor- ming and depart immediately fol- lowing the Saturday evening pro- gram.
 This does not prohibit schools from arriving before or after these times. However, schools choosing to do so must assume all responsibility for food and lodging and this could be expen- sive, particularly if planes are delayed by bad weather.
 The changes were requested by

 Enrolment Going Up Our total enrolment figure is growing day by day and we may easily reach close to 700 within a few weeks.
 Those of you who have been aware of our previous crowded classroom conditions will certain ly understand the pressing prob lem we now have and will con tinue to have to provide adequate housing for all of our pupils. We now have several rooms filled beyond capacity. I believe the point has been reached where we as a community must take steps toward seeking a solution, however difficult it may be. We all know that solving the problem will not be easy, and by the same token we also know that it's final solution will ultimately touch all of us directly or indirectly.

The Old South
By Eve L. Burweu

Three centuries ago when pion-
eer families left the security Of sea
coast Villages and treaked into the
wilderness to find new homes, the
first thing they did was to clear
an area around their little cabins.
They needed cleared land for
crops, but also a cleared space
meant protection.
If you notice as you ride over
the country, many of the first set
tiers founded new homes and new
towns were built on the high hills.
There were rumors that diseases
were more prevalent in the low
lands. There was something that
made men and animals, sick in
the valley.
Of course we know that open
sites of the upland, and on the wind
swept hills, frost ended earlier in
the spring and came later in the
fall. An open hill side is a part of
our southland, bony ridges show
gray sinews, groups of silver leaf
naples blend with the hue of the
green pines. Some times we find
gnarled old oaks, with deeply rid
ged bark and big knotty limbs and
there r accent cedars standing
by hill top homes still surveying
the quiet score.
To me there is something expec-
tally appealing about a high hill,
an old house. Perhaps it is because
we have always wanted to look
over the country side, that age old
instinct to have a clear space
about us.
1t would be a great thing if all
men would get away from their
office, stores and factory on a blue
sky day in summer while the
blended colors on the hills are so
lovely. You may find old road,
brush tangled yards poignant re-
minders of the time when the wood
covered hillside was a thriving
farm. You may pass little ceme-
teries, in the deep woods with
grass covered graves where sleep
pioneer men and women, who fou-
ght a good fight a century and
more age. Before the easier way
Holmes County herald., 1959-10-08

of life, the richer soil of the lowland
called young people down from the
hills and to the bright lights of the
growing cities.
You may find old apple trees,
lifting Scraggy arms to the sun
and sky, and perhaps there will be
a little old wooden bridge, over a
clear singing brook. AS you climb
upward and look out across q val
ley to blue hills rising against the
horizon, you will feel the pressures
of trivialities drain away and ma
ture will restore the faith that one
Needs as he travels down through
the years.
Here in the spring time the birds
return. The Cardinals stay with us
all the winter and their beauty
against the soft green of young
leaves is a picture to tuck away
in the mind. Pink and white roses
paint summer pictures and green
ferns send their fragrance into the
air. An open hill side that faces the
south is a wonderful place to fol-
low the cycle Of the turning years.

of these ~do-gooders, agitation and
communist supporters. They are
seeing that these schemes are wo X
ing a hardship on their race not tc
melton the hate that integraion has
created, thanks to this socialist
minded supreme court of old War
rem. Here is what n respected
negro leader has to say about the
situation.
This intergation segregation
issue has stirred up bitterness,
hatred, prejudice and has des-
troyed long standing friendships.
But strange as it may seem, fifty
percent of the negroes are not con-
cerned about it either way.
The liberals are frothing at the
mouth and shedding crocodile tears
over the plight of the poor negro
in the South, but will gladly give
him intergration but won't give him
a job and help clothe and feed his
family.
1.-The liberals will open their
schools to negro children but won't
hire negro teachers. The South
won't admit negro childrento its
schools but they will give the ne
gro his own school manned by
teachers of his own race. And all
of this is given to him without cost.
There are forms of segregation
that are degrading and humiliat-
ing but to have ones school and
teachers is not one of them. Given
the negro his own school and teach
ers is more in keeping with that
concept of freedom, justice and
equal opportunities than the found
ing fathers had in mind than in an
integrated system of education.
I'm the South a negro enjoys
more educational, employment and
economic opportunities than any
where else in the country. The
labor unions are pouring thou
sands of dollars into this integra-
ton movement yet the Southern
negroes r working at jobs that
the Northern negroes can not get
because unions will not accept
them as members.
Negroes can not eat integration.
They need jobs. They need the OPP
portunity to develop their talents.
The South is the only section OF
this nation that offers such oppor-
tunities. If these liberals and agi-
tators are the negro's friends and
Southern whites are his enemies,
then someone needs to protect the
negro from his friends"
The fast discovery by the negro
of the ones who r working again
st him is being unfolded every day.
He is seeing that these groups are
taking money from him to kqep
themselves in luxury and spew
their hates and lies
