Supreme Court backs open housing in landmark ruling
The U S Supreme Court, led by Justice Potter Stewart, clears the path for federal open housing by upholding a Reconstruction era right to buy property without discrimination. The decision ends doubts and affirms the 1968 Fair Housing Act, with California’s Rumford Act and Proposition 14 challenges noted as largely settled. The article notes local support groups like the Concerned Citizens Covenant backing fair housing in Redlands.

Prospect Park escrow advances in Redlands bid
The Housing and Development Agency of the federal government will accept a $420,000 land appraisal, enabling a $210,000 grant matched by private donations for Prospect Park. HUD funding is unlikely to be blocked by budget cuts, with Ralph Sechrest of the Sechrest estate agreeing to escrow. The Citizens committee acknowledges donor pledges and notes the total may be higher once all pledges and notes are audited.

Redlands Yesterdays Five Years Ago and Ten Years Ago
Five years ago in Redlands the Miss Redlands pageant highlighted Cathy Hales in Los Angeles as part of a beauty contest. Fireworks will climax a Fourth of July event at University of Redlands stadium sponsored by the Junior Chamber of Commerce. A Kiwanis auction in the Santa Fe arcade offered hundreds of items at noon. Ten years ago the University budget reached 2.312 million dollars, the largest in UK history, while a Family Service Association plan sought 4500 for housing counselor, but the council cut to 1.26 million. YMCA building plans moved toward bids in two weeks. Police staffing increased by five, and new principals were named for Smiley elementary, Dunlap Acres, and Crafton. Dr. John Goodman, a UK biologist, became president of the County Audubon Society.
