Potter Brothers Take
Top Honors In the
Pinewood Derby
Two brothers ran off with the
honors at the Cub Scout Pine
wood Derby Saturday evening.
Steve Potter, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Conrad Potter, built the speediest
of them all, and his brother Har
old’s car was judged the best
huilt racer.
A good crowd of mothers,
fathers, brothers and sisters of
the racers gathered at the school
gym as the annual derby was
run off.
Runner-up was Robbie O’Con
nor, son of Mr. and Mrs. John
Walters. Steve was awarded a
trophy for his feat and the other
two boys were awarded cash
prizes.
An added attraction of the race
was when James Gray, winner of
last year’s derby, challenged Steve.
However it was soon apparent
that the 1961 model was faster
than the 1960 car.
The judges were Miss Barbara
Cooper and Marc Beauchamp.

Khrushchev Sends
Congratulations to JFK
On Space Flight Feat
MOSCOW GP)—Premier Khrush
chev Saturday messaged congrat
ulations to President Kennedy on
the space flight of Cmdr. Alan B.
Shepard Jr.
Tass News Agency said the
telegram offered Khrushchev’s
congratulations in the name of the
people of the Soviet Union.
“The latest outstanding achieve
ment in man’s conquest of the
cosmos opens up unlimited pos
sibilities for the study of nature
in the name of progress,” Khrush
chev said.
A Soviet commentator con
ceded that the flight of Shepard
is “an undeniable achievement
of the American space explora
tion program.”
The words of praise came from
an unnamed scientific correspond
ent of Tass, the official Soviet
News Agency. It was broadcast
by Moscow radio.
Most of the article, however,
was devoted to explaining that
Shepard’s 9pace flight was “of less
technical complexity and scienti
fic value than the flight of Yuri
Gagarin in the spaceship Vostok
around the earth.”
Atty. Gen. Bob Kennedy
Says He’ll Enforce Civil
Rights Laws Vigorously
ATHENS, Ga. U?> — Speaking
at a campus once struck by in
tegration rioting, U. S. Atty. Gen.
Robert F. Kennedy told a deep
south audience Saturday he will
enforce civil rights laws vigor
ously.
Making his first major address
as Attorney General, the Presi
dent’s brother flung out an ap
peal as well as a warning.
In a speech at the University
of Georgia Law School, Ken
nedy said: “You may ask, will
we enforce the civil rights satutes.
we enforce the civil rights statues
“We will not threaten, we will
try to help. We will not persecute,
we will prosecute,” he said.
“We will not make or interpret
the laws. We shall enforce them
— vigorously, without regional
bias or political slant.
“All this we intend to do. But
all the high rhetoric on Law Day
about the noble mansions of the
law; all the high-sounding speech
es about the liberty and justice,
are meaningless unless people—
you and I—breathe meaning and
force into it.”
