               DR. JAMES BLAKE HONORED WITH STREET NAMING

                                 ______


                         HON. JAMES E. CLYBURN

                           of south carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, August 4, 1994

  Mr. CLYBURN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Dr. James 
Blake of Marion, SC, for his many years of community and professional 
service.
  The city of Marion recently honored Dr. Blake, a former educator, 
with the unveiling of a street sign bearing his name. In 1993, the city 
of Marion named the unpaved road--running through a new 30-unit housing 
project off Martin Luther King Drive--Blake Circle, recognizing Dr. 
Blake for his 27 years of work as a member of the Marion Housing 
Authority.
  Dr. Blake is also a retired assistant superintendent of Marion County 
District 1 and math supervisor.
  Dr. Blake was accompanied at the unveiling by his wife, Rita; 
children Karen, James Jr., Albert, William, and Kevin; and 
grandchildren Tre' and Tyler Blake, who unveiled the sign.
  Mister Speaker, Dr. Blake is a friend of long standing and his 
family, friends, and professional and community associates can 
certainly testify to the fact that he is deserving of this honor.
