Are there no heroes In

Dave Schoem started look

He's sure they're around

Mr.. Schoem goes along with
a lot of people in feeling that
heroism and humanitarianism
ought not to go unrewarded.
Finding a hero has become an
official business for him now,
since he's been made chair
man of the Humanitarianism

Chaplain Alexander D. Goode

Grams.
"He doesn't have to be a
big hero" Mr.. Schoem says.
I'm fact, we, don't want some
one in the public eye at all.
We're looking for a John or
Jane Doe in the Washington
area who's done an unSelf1Sh
act of heroism or humani-
tarianiSm."
When the hero is found,
he'll be given the first an

Tips For

Do you realize that Labor
Day gives us the only guar
anteed" three-day weekend
during the year?
How would you like five
long weekendS annually?
That's the plan of the Ma
tional Association of Travel
Organizations. Here's how it
works:
Move four non-religious
holidays Ia neighboring
Monday. The days would be
Presidents Day, Memorial
Day, independence Day, and
Thanksgiving.
Presidents Day would be
the third Monday in Feb
ruary. 1t would end the con-
fusion of Washington's birth
day being celebrated all over
the nation, Lincoln's in most
of the states, Jefferson's in
four, Roosevelt's in two, and
Jackson's in one.
Memorial Day - now cele-
brated on four different days
- would be the last Monday
in May.
independence Day would be
the first Monday in July.
tSome may object to ignor-
ing July 4th, but as we
celebrate it now = we are in
error. The Declaration Of IN
dependence was passed on

ed it July 4, and the sum-
mer passed before all the
