of al absolutely square deal.
A Little More Pep
Pep, Pep, Pep! Although that word
is not to be found in any dictionary, il
certainly is a good little word. The
definition of that word would probably
read like this: "A slang expression
meaning Energy. Industriousness-
force" Effectiveness might also be
included among the synonyms of
Pep"
Since the close of the contest Is
only a matter of six or seven more
working days away, the fact becomes
apparent that the winner of the auto
will be the person who is imbibed with
the most pep" Although a slow and
steady pace is alright in a long race,
it doesn't hold good in this case. In
order to win, you must put forth every
