The referendum for the accept
ance Of the new Constitution Of
Southern Rhodesia took place last
month. Final reports from Sails
bury said that there was a major
ity Of e5% in favour Of the con-
stitution.
Taken at its face value, It would
appear as IL a real Referendum
took place, and that the ballot was
utilized fairly to determine a ques-
ton which is Of such vital import
ance to the whole population Of
that African colony.
Upon examination 1t Is found,
however, that the Southern Rho
desian population consists OF over
two and half million Africans
800, 900 Of whom were eligible to
vote, and a white population Of
less than 100000, 79.4s6 of whom
exercised the franchise. So far as
the balloting for the referendum
is concerned, of the 83,486 regis
tered voters, only 1000 were Afrt-
cans.
One could plausibly ask: Is this
not clearly a case Of disenfran-
chisement? And II this Is the case,
how representative Is the refer
endum of the whole of the coun-
try? And to what extent, there
fore, could a government, so based,
be considered representing the
country?
This predOmlnantly white cleo
torate that has approved South
ern Rhodeslan constitutional
proposals, I'm this context, and In
view of the political history Of
the country, indicates but one
thing: Southern RhOdesIa, with
out any question, 10 q policy
based ON white supremacy, while
q multiraciaI formula d most
desirable.
Sir Edgar whitehead, Southern
Rhodesia's Prime Minister, said:
The opportunity Of building a
Rhodesian nation Ia now opened as
q result Of the affirmative vote Of
the constitutional proposals."
On the other hand, the Africans,
on the basis Of their unofficial
referendum, reported that over
$50, 900 Africans voted mo" and
fewer than 500 YES. Naturally,
in terms Of the restrictive fran
chise, the results Of the unofficial
referendum were not given any
credence by Sir Edgar Whitehead
and the Southern Rhodesian gov
ernment.
A look backward would indicate
that the British government, in its
desire to introduce racial partner
ship, thought that the terms Of
the new constitution, attempting
as they do TO bring Africans with
in the government, was a step in
the right direction That part Of
the constitutional proposals that
deals with this issue envisages an
increase Of the number Of Minis
ters from seven to twelve and the
legislative council from so to 66.
in the latter it is projected that
Is seats will be made available to
the Africans; 1t does not spell out
whether any Of the five additional
executive seats would go to the
African majority.
II would appear that, because
Of property qualification and
other restrictions placed on the
African electorate, the over two
and a half million African major
Ity has been restricted 20 only
Is seats In the Legislative cOGn-
ell, while the IT5,OOO European
settlers would continue to enjoy
the political privileges Of having
probably the fun number Of seats

The story this past week on

mons. it's an entirely different
story. They have really been
mailing the big rockfish over off
Punch Island. They, like the
fellows at Chesapeake Beach,
have enjoyed their best results
with using cells.
Moving down the bay we find
Captain Lewis Bean and the
others at Point Lookout doing

lows have the best Of the sea-

year it's the same pattern; the
fish will leave the upper bay
and work down. When it's all

they have in the past, the Point

County School Grid Season Closes
As Counsel, Landon End Schedules
Of Fools and Kings
By George Bragaw
sp0rts Editor

Blair, and Wheaton, were still in the mathenat-
ical picture and the championship was decided
finally by the scurrilous point system.
In the end it was Blair, the team without a
STAR which blasted B-CC 25!7 on the final Satur-
day to take the championship.
But what about this Blair team. That
they had the best bacIxfield in the county,
few would argue strongly one way or the
other. Their equals could be picked from
the rosters of other teams But not, per-
haps, their team work, and the way each
one seemed to have his own particular
game.
1t was Jimmy Craig, that did the job on
Rockville 1t was Julian Rainwater and Jerry
Ricucc that did the job against B-CC, and it
was Sonny Jackson that was the man against
Northwood, Sherwood and Walter johnson.
Yet, these boys didn't fall into the pattern Of
outstanding high school athletes that one asso-
ciates with great scholastic football teams.
However, Blair wasn't without its great
high school stars. They were in the line, not
in the backfield
When Sonny jackson was looking for
Rainwater to throw his last touchdown
pass against B.CC, one was reminded of
tale told by sports writer Red Smith con-
corning Felix doc" Blanchards longest
run. The three.time AlI-American fullback
from Army streaIked 50 yards against a
now forgotten team and for Smith IL was
all beside the point.
Grandmother" Smith wrote, could have
made that run Every opponent was swept
from his feet. A gaping hole opened up in the
line and never closed Nobody came within Is
yards of Blanchard after he roared through the
line and three teammates trotted across the
goal line with him in what looked like signal
drill in warmup before a game"
"And you know" Smith said wistfully, ut
would have been lot more interesting to
watch Grandmother run"
In the same sense, it is wonder Jackson
didn't get cramp in his arm holding that ball
behind his ear so long. He had plenty of time
to say the least and he used it well. When he
finally threw it, no goldclad B.CC linemen were
close enough to him to wave.
1t was pretty sight for anyone who likes
to see good offensive line do the job it was
meant to do.

straight times for only one yard
before Hermes was sent to open
the hole over right guard for
Montbriand's scoring plunge.
Good Counsel took over after
soccer kicker Vic Bonucci miss.
ed his second field goal attempt
from the Falcons Is. The Coun-
sci went 80 yards in Is plays
with Montbriand getting half of
that distance on seven rushes.
Dick Schaplowski's 14.yard dash
for q first down on the Good
Counsel AZ and a 15-yard pen
atty against O'ConneI which
gave the Falcons q first down
on the Knights 20 accounted
for most Of the rest of the yard
age on the drive.
After the penalty, Montbriand
took the ball to the five on
three plays where quarterback
Ronnie Rubini passed to end
Bob lombard for the score.
Kelvin Cassidy kicked his sec
ond point after as Good Coun-
sci led, 40.
O'Connell tried field goals
from the IS and the 40 and got
to the Counsel five with time
running out In the first half.
With the ball on the five and
81 seconds left in the period,
O'Connell tried four straight
passes. The Falcons Gene Har.
per intercepted the last one and
returned it to the Counsel 35 as
time ran out.
O'Connell came roaring back
to score two touchdowns in the
second half. Following the kick
off, the Knights drove deep into
Counsel territory but the Fal-
cons held on their II. On first
down after Good Counsel re-
gained the ball, a bad pitchout
by quarterback Rubini was
fumbled by Schaplowski and
Andy Wilkinson recovered for
o'Connell on the 10.
Four plays later Kelvin Train.
or scored from the three.
O'Connell drove IS yards in u
plays for the tying touchdown.
Trainor again picked up most
of the yardage. On a key play
Good Counsel was offside on a
third and five situation on the
Counsel IL. 1t was the only
penalty Of the game for the Fall
cons but it gave O'Connell a
first down on the II and the
Knights scored in three plays
when Rickie Parker weaved In
from the seven.
Counsel finished its season
with a 6-3-1 record in its second
year with the varsity sport.
