the troubles of another friend.
When they saw Anne J. coming
they abruptly changed the con-
versation. The three knew what
they were saying would not go
any further They were friends
indeed and the misfortune their
mutual friend had suffered was
not generally known but if Anne J.
heard about it she would not hes
itate to repeat it to anyone she
happened to see.
She. Anne }. was a friend to
all of the group and there was
nothing she wouldn't do for any Of
them but she simply talked too
much and she would say, don't
tell me anything you don't want
told" She said it in a joking man
ner but she knew and we knew
she was telling the truth.
So. we started talking about the
children who would be going to
camp soon and we told her we
were trying to get parents and
friends to take the teenagers there.
She said she could take five girls
and her name was placed on the
list Of volunteers, because If she
said she would drive a group to the
camp site she could be depended
on to keep her word. Isn't it nice
to know your friends? Each one
has many good qualities.
Sitting there, Helene asked for
volunteers to plan the picnic lunch
for a group who were going to
surprise the teens football squad.
The boys ages were 1915, and they
had won quite a few games. In
order to encourage them to keep
up their practice this surprise pic
mic was being planned. Several
women said they would help pre-
pare the lunch. Ruthie had been
quiet and hadn't seemed to join
in the plans. Then the group re-
membered that Jackie, her young
est son had been a member of this
group until he had been crippled
with polio last year.
Before the plans were completed

LOOK ARTICLE CLAIMS US. ON
VERGE OF MAJOR RACIAL VIOLENCE

NEW YORK-The U. S. is on
the verge of a major racial cat
astrophe similar to the violence
and bloodshed that erupted in s.
Africa recently, a southern journ-
alist warned this week.
Writing in the current issue OF
Look Magazine, George f. Nc
MILAN declared that Shutdown"
protests by young southern Ne
groes may hold the fuse that,
ignites the explosion"
Mcmillan. a resident of Aiken,
S. c. said he was "astonished"
during a recent trip through the
south by how rigidly and inflex-
IDLY the sides have lined up" in
the racial struggle.
THE MOST frightening thing
now" he wrote, ''is the air of
resignation with which southern
ers of both races view the newt
ability of violence.
1T is not so much that any
body wants violence as 1t Is that
nobody sees any alternative to it."
Southern Negroes, Mcmillan
noted, ARE infused with a new
determination, and are ready to
risk violence to get some of the
gains they believe are due them.
THE MIDDLE-CLASS whites,
he added. seem "helplessly COM
mitted" to violence.
To prevent violence, Mcmillan
predicted that somebody outside
of the south will have to inter
vene and that intervention will
almost certainly have to come
from the federal government"

AS the ball hits the cushion
at the back of the pit, the machine
is triggered for action. 1t lifts up
the boWler'S ball and returns it

If the standing pins are Off

will replace them exactly where
it found them in conformity with
strict American Bowling Congress
regulations. After the second ball
is rolled, the machine returns the
ball, sweeps the pins off the lane
and sets up 10 pins again for the
next frame.
When a bowler rolls strike,
the same action takes place ex-

this ideal situation, the magic

lower a new set of 10 pins and
relight the first ball signal.
A trigger button is located on
the ball return rack so that the
bowler can get a new rack of

standing pins. This trigger is also
used if necessary to get a COM

are the fiber panels at the sides
