If one of your parents belongs to
a labor union. that source should

A number of unions and their To-
Gals offer scholarships for families
of their members.
Applications for scholarships
should be made as early as possible.
The various college catalogs will
usually specify a closing date.
Qualifications often go beyond
ability. good character and need.
There are any number of scholar
ships limited to students coming
from a specific geographical area
"a State. or even a city. A few
are limited to the blind.
Others are restricted to young
men and women studying in specific
fields-beauty, for example. or
mining engineering. or veterinary
medicine. A few are awarded only
to persons with a certain family
name. like Murphy. or Leaven-
worth.

Mitchell and his brother, Joe,
formed one of the finest and
most colorful officiating teams
Washington ever saw in basket
