Beautiful memories he left behind.

Today when a great person
travels to some distant part OF
the world or into different cities
of our country he employs heralds
and advertising men to announce
his coming They in turn, use the
newspapers and radio. In ancient
times, when these modern de.
vices were not in use, great per.
sons also employed heralds to an,
nounce their coming in advance
They did so, however. by word OF
mouth
Thus, Jesus Christ, the King OF
kings, sent heralds ahead to an,
nounce his first coming as a
child. These were the Old Tesla.
ment prophets who foretold of the
birth of Christ the Savior. Then
when He was about to begin his
ministry Jesus sent on ahead the
greatest of all human heralds-
John the Baptist to prepare the
way for Christ into the hearts OF
the people.
During this advent season, with
Christmas approaching, we need
to prepart anew our hearts TO re.
ceive our Sovior King. As such
we must consider the message OF
John the Baptist Repent and

our services next Sunday. 1.-THE

LEXINGTON, KY. July T.
Start winning or be retired" ;"
The Horsemen's Benevolent
and Protective Association says
if this plan were adopted it
would remove 1000 useless
horses from race tracks.
President Dan Chappell, in
talk before the Thorough
bred Club of America here last
night, explained that State
racing commissioners would be
required to deny stall space
to nonwinners.
That rule, he added, would
apply to any horse having
started at least eight times in
two years without finishing
first, second or third place.
Chappell said the plan. also
Endorsed by the Thoroughbred
Racing Association, would pro-
tect the bettor who continually
loses money on such useless
horses.
BY removing these racers,
Chappell said, tracks would
have more space for better en-
tries. There Is a critical short
age of stall space at present. he
continued.
AS for racing plants them

criticized their failure to offer
larger purses during the war
years when profits were higher.

In Line for Redskin Campaign
By Lewis F. Atchison

Three more Redskins have
signed for the 1949 campaign, in
cluding Guard John Steber, Half
back Howie Hartley and Center
AL Demao-the latter the young
est player in the National Football
League.
That youngest player is an old
gag, because everybody knows AL
was born on February %, in leap
year, and celebrates the occasion
only every four years. He had
seven candles on his last birthday
cake.
Demao is outstanding for sew
eral other reasons in addition to
his grid work. He holds the Red
skin player record for personal
appearances at church, civic and
fraternal gatherings, averaging
some three a week, and is undis-
puted champion eater of the squad.
People have AL all wrong about
his eating" protested General
Manager Dick McCann. Hes a
hearty eater, I'll grant you, but
he dimes European style. He eats
slowly and enjoys his food"
At Duquesne University, where
{ he played on a team that lost only
one game in three years, Demao
was used as a food gauge by
Graduate Manager John Holloran,
now with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
If AL was satisfied Holloran knew
the squad had no kick coming.
Good food is not the center's
primary concern, however. He
wants to play on Redskin cham
pionship team, and soon.
I've heard Admiral Whelchel
is tough" he said. But I was in
the Navy. too, and I can take
orders. I don't care how tough he
IS if we have a winner"
Demao had a couple OF expe-
riences last year that he hopes
will not be repeated. One, against
Philadelphia's Steve Van Buren,
boosted the Philly Flyers rating
several points in the TrlbeSman's
opinion. Seems that Demao got
good, clean shot at Steve and
figured a smashing tackle would
slow him down the rest of the
afternoon. He put the full force
of his compact 220-pound frame
into action.
1t was like meeting heavy
tank head on, Al recalled. While
he was reassembling his scattered
chassis Van Buren bounced up
and cheerily remarked:
Rough game. isn't it, Alp"
Bill Neal, Green Bays 800
pound center, gave Demao an
other bad afternoon. On one play
Neal, blacksmith during the Off
season, topped on AL before the
ball was snapped.

Admiral Whelchel need not
worry about Demao doing a job
for him because the broad-shoul-
dered center was in all but two
games last year, missing those
because of a dislocated elbow.
And if Billick wonders about AIS
weight when he sees him slowing
it away after everybody else has

remember that Demao eats slowly

as their national president.
II want to call to your at
tention," DR.. SCOTS message
continued, that more and more
qualified women are winning a

added to the roll a minister to

that, There Is a growing atti-
tude Of acceptance by the
American people of their posi-
ton Of world responsibility and
their role In working for world
peace and economic stability.
This gives us hope for the fu-

getting out of our adolescent at

We should certainly give thanks
that we are growing up:

joicing for an abundant harvest,
