Welcome Hall has opened its

earnest desire of the Superin-

FOOTBALL AT WELCOME
HALL

After long absence from Mu-
nicipal competition the Welcome
Hall lads are again preparing to
enter the Junior Heavy division of
the st. Paul Municipal Football
League, an attempt to uphold the
splendid record previously made by
Welcome Hall teams in former
years. The, team this year al
though heavy lacks much of the
necessary experience so essential in
league competition. Many of the
boys DOMINIC toys for their first
time but showing a willingness to
come through should round into
shape before the end of the season
and make the going tough for OPP
ponents. However this should not
prove too encouraging inasmuch as
many Of the teams in the league
will be bolstered with experienced
men.
The greatest weakness in the
team to date is the absence of ex-
perience in the center of the line
where considerable pressure should
be felt. In early practice periods at
the Welcome Hall Playground the
following boys have showed some
thing of what is needed. Harold
Brown, center, John Gotten, back,
Leroy Gardner, fullback, Rudy FL
lis, quarterback, Amer Nichols,
guard, Kenny Jones and Phil Por-
ter, ends, Ted Morehouse, back, and
George Stone, quarterback.
The coaching staff this year con-
sists of Leslie v. Warren, former
ly of Tuskegee and Simeon Scrog-
gins, local boy and a Welcome Hall
product. The schedule has not
been drawn as yet but all games
will be played at Dunning Field on
Saturday mornings.

CALCIUM -o.
The Great Human
Need

People of all ages need calcium
and few today get a sufficient
amount of it for the greatest or
most abundant health.
The best and the cheapest source
of calcium is in dairy products.
The lower the income for food,
the greater the need for more of
dairy products is the regular every
day diet of all of us.
Fresh fluid pasteurized milk
daily in some form should be used,
either as a beverage or in cooked
food.

Real democracy is shown in the
safety of hated racial, religious or
political groups. AS long as they
do not try to overthrow the gov
ernment, these groups are free to
advocate their beliefs in speech or
writing and to win as many fol-
lowers as they can.
Democracy means the hope of
the common man, and is the only
government for people who be-
lieve in the possibilities of all CIT

makes the lowliest person aspire
to the highest things because ones
future is for each one to make for

the lead 2 points, making the num-
