Condemned Log Cabin Preserved CINCINNATI (AP) Gary Fox expected a routine job when he won a contract to tear down several condemned buildings for the city. What he found was a log cabin, the sturdiest house he ever encountered. The cabin had been built around 1817, and sagging from neglect, was set for demolition.

"It really would be a shame to throw all those old logs in the dump," Fox said, so he offered to give the cabin to the Miami Purchase Association. The association accepted his offer and Fox spent two days taking the old cabin to the association's Sharon Woods Park, where a 19th Century Ohio village is being recreated. "These boards were all hand-hewn," Fox said. "All walnut and oak. All 12 by 12.

Yep, great big logs. A great big building." Fox called the two-story structure "the most sturdy house I ever tore down. Every board was notched with hand-hewn, four-inch notches at least." Mrs. Jewell Bridges CLARKS HILL Mrs. Jewell Clegg Bridges, 63, died Monday morning.

Court (Continued from page 1) should be upheld. However, government attorneys suggested that the case could be useful for the high court to "clarify the governing legal standards" in other school desegregation cases. "The desegregation that courts are both empowered and obligat td to accomplish is not the elLiination of all of the racial separation without regard its causes," the government had argued. "The existence of schools attended by members of one race does not in itself amount to racial discrimination." Justice Powell agreed, saying the lower court could find that no remedy is needed in light of a Supreme Court decision last June that governmental policies which unintentionally discriminate against minorities are not illegal. There must be evidence of intent to discriminate, the court ruled then.
