County Board of Supervisors

The Holmes Board made its
request Tuesday to the En-
gineers Corps which work;
out of Vicksburg. 1t followed
a petition of property owners
who live or farm in the low
lands of the foothills of Black
Creek about ten days ago.
The flood control survey
along Funnegusha Creek has
been underway for about
three months and with the
addition of the Black Greek
area is expected to take about
three or four additional
months to complete.
Recommendation of the En-
gineers' is expected to be con-
struction of levees along both
sides of the floodway fol
three or four miles in the
loWlands running in a south
westerly direction; and below
that area a levee built on the
west side of the floodway as

ment of any strength which
would support the Southern
tradition Of a segregated So
ciety."
This statement. is nothing
more than public recognition
of what intelligent Mississip-
plans have known from the
beginning of the program.
Mr. Johnston said further
in his Grenada speech that
the only hope Mississippi has
to maintain segregation in its
schools rests in the coopera-
ton if its Negro citizens.
And the Forest editor, who
is respected for his integrity
and ability by his contempo-
raries, advocated a policy of
recognition and considera-

cure its cooperation in main

SotUndoY, September n, 1867

Maryland and Navy, which
have high hopes and national
ambitions, launch their 1862
football seasons today behind
two veteran quarterbacks who
already rank among the Ma
tons top IL.
Dick Sinner, who ranked 10th
nationally last year in total Of
fense. leads the Terps against
Southern Methodist at 2 pm.
at Byrd Stadium. A crowd Of
nearly 10000 is anticipated.
Navy makes its debut at
Penn State in an early scrap
for Eastern supremacy with
senior Ron Klemick, 18th
ranked last year in total Of
tense, at the controls.
George Washington and Viz
ginia, both hoping to improve,
have dates in the Old Domin-
ion. The Colonials, who lost
their opener, face Virginia Tech
at Roanoke in a Southern Con-
ference match. Virginia opens
at Williamsburg against State
rival William & Mary.
Both Sinner and Klemick
face similar situations. They
guided their teams to 7-3 re-
cords last year. but must set
their sights on some new tar
gets.
Evening star., 1962-09-22

All-America Gary Collins and
Henry Poniatowski. Maryland's
two top pass-catchers in 1861,
have been graduated, so Sinner
must choose from his veteran
halfbacks or new ends, Nike
Funk and Tom Rae.
Klemick also must find a re-
placement for Greg Mather, the
Middies' do-it-all end of last
season. Mather caught %
passes last year and was Nays
top scorer with his pass-grab-
bing and place-kicking.
The oddsmakers look for
Maryland, CIV and Virginia TO
win. but have Navy pegged as
q 6hz-point underdog against
power-minded Penn State.
Maryland. with probably, its
best team since the power
houses of the mid-50s, is q
1914 point choice over SMU,
which makes its debut under
new Coach Hayden Fry. The
Mustangs mphasize running
and defense. a..-
CIV, tripped by VM1 last
week, is rated seven points over
Tech, although the Gobblers
won comfortably last year, 14-3.
Virginia, which expects to con.
tinue its upward climb under
Coach Bill Elias. is an eights
point pick over WAN. -

There's grave doubt that
Halfback Billy Barnes, leading

back Don Bosseler may be
shifted to left half to help out
there. Defensive halfback
