drive headed by Houston Hurst
as campaign chairman, will be-
gin with a kick-off breakfast on
Tuesday morning. As most of
you know your one contribution
covers 10 drives. The goal for
Leonard is i$2500 and everyone is
urged to give as generously as
possible. The United Way elimi-
nates individual drives for par-
ticipating agencies, that is why
you are asked to give a substan-
tial amount once a year. Be nice
to the men and Women working
on this drive for they are only
doing what they consider their
civic responsibility.

to contribute, you may contact

Mr. Khrushchev has voiced
this idea many times. An example
was in a speech last June in Ru-
mania, quoted by the Associated
Pre^: “I am convinced that to-
morrow the Red flag will fly ov-
er the United States. But we
will not fly the flag. It will be
the American people themselves.”
In other words, he is counting
on the internal factor of apathy,
negligence, misinformation, and
ignorance, plus the disservice of
misled Americans who espouse
-socialism and who fight his bat-
tles for him.
Moreover, Mr. Khrushchev is
counting on the U. S. to foster
socialism abroad, supporting it

in their purpose of making So-

help toward the Socialist state.
Many of them seem unaware that
the policies and ideas to which
they are devoted could lead
into Communism.
Do the Communists bother

be socialistic? You can bet they
do! One has only to read their
publication, The Worker, to see
that 'they like anything that looks
like the welfare state or more

Every man in the Leonard back-
field got into the scoring column
and two of the linemen. The en-
tire squad of 25 men saw plenty
of action as the Tigers scored
at will. In the first quarter Jim-
my McBroom went in from 2
yards out. The play was set up
by a 45 yard screen pass play on
the first play from scrimmage
that went from Mike Matthews
to McBroom. The try for the ex-
tra point was blocked. McBroom
scored again later in the first
period on a 10 yard sprint around
end. Mac Lorance’s try for the
extra point was again blocked
and the score at the end of the
first quarter was 12-0. Matthews
scored the first t.d. in the sec-
ond quarter on a 17 yard sprint
around end. He set up the score
when he went 50 yards around
the right side on the previous
play. Lorance’s kick was block-
ed for the extra point. Lorance
scored the last touchdown in the
first half on a five yard plunge
up the middle, and again missed
on the extra point try and the
half ended with the Tigers lead-
ing 24-0.
Billy Steele took scoring hon-
ors in the third period when he
scored two times on runs of 25
and 65 yards. The first was set
up when he took a screen pass

of the half, but this was brought
