Th actions of the delegat's r. tris convention put some spice into tv.e program for a e<»nvintion that basically had the c mdida'e chosm before it larted. The tremendous efads to g t another candidate t rather than Humphrey, roved futal. but interesting to watch Even the cred mtiuN and htfo.m issues were exciting, rat nothing to match what was to come lat t outside of the ■ Aiphilith. atre with the Hippies, ippies or jus* plan nuts.

He also hid Chicago fortified for my ti .übb that could a ise du.mg the convention and after one bio sly night, it was obvious that the demonst atot s knew Chie.igo meant busim ss at this time. Mayor Daley wasn't going to h.v any sertou- problems if hi could help it. »ny cnticizd the man. but if tn-- past two yea s haven! proven to people that the only way this kind of stuff can be stopp d is to show this type of pi.son who is boss who knows what can stop it. It might have been bad -at the time, but stopping such d'monstrations b"fore thousands and thoumnds of lollars worth of property Could be destroyed and lives were to be tak-n. was well worth the action that put a halt to the demonstrations. The United States of America is at a turning point. In th" next months or years, a turns tn be made one way or the othe Some where, some time, a littl * respect is going t< have to be shown by this class of people who want everything given them and more. Regardless of rac 9 or creed, the white are just as guilty as the black in th *se situations. Protesting and d -monstrating against anything and everything displays a good case of stupidity. If th w people aren’t happy and satisfied in our land. I‘t them go someplace else. Let them make it vn thmr own for a while instead of giving and giving. They don’t seem to accept the government that takes care of them and expenses to another part of the world would be cheaper than them here. The Demwrutic convention wasn’t th ? only one with trouble. During the Republican convention in Miami, race trouble stirred up in that city and several were killed not too many miles from their convention center. Whether it b* racial or otherwise, feelings are at fever pitch now and serious Double could dvvelope almost anytime and anywhere. The next couple of months should be interesting. The race is on and with such comes promises, pleas and statements that can be encouraging or discouraging. At any rate, we know it is Nixon and Humphrey in thie main ring -with Wallace and who knows how many others waiting to get a c ack at it also. Th? election of 1968 may be on 3 of the most important of all times in th* United States and who ever comes out of this one will have to L' a strong-walled man who will not only talk about these problems, but strive to the great st extent of his abiliy to x e that some favo able action follow

principals of this resolution. Superintendent of of Public Inst ruction Richard D. Wells, in proposing the r solution to the Commission, stated that from the -ducational viewpoint, it was more d'sirable to integrate minority gloups’ histoneal culture into the regular sequence of such pr mentations. He noted that the Kentucky State Board of Education recently mandated tbit a special cours« in Negro history must be taught in all Kentucky public schools.

He told his wife, who was relaxing in the bath tub, and left. A little lat ^r, Mrs. Mtnist, r was apprehensive that he had not locked the door as he l-'ft. o she stepp'd out of th“ tub, wrap-p<-d a tow 5 "! around her»df and hi»l"d for the front door.
