A DIFFERENT APPROACH To l.lh E
It is not the critic who counts, not the man who
points out how the strong man stumbled, or where
the doer of deeds could have done them better
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in
the arena, whose face is marred by dust and
sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs
and comes short again and again, who knows the
great enthusiasms the great devotions, who
spends hnnselt in a worthy cause, who, at the
best, knows in the end the triumph of high
achievement. and who, at the worst, if he fails, at
least fails while daring greatly
Which would you like tn believe yourself to be
and why not give it a by''

The entrance to the airshow will

will be at the Ninety-Nine infor-
