teen-ager, to be a part of some
thing that could have unlimited
possibilities as to its good.
With your help, 1 would like to
start two fUnder 81" college
scholarships, one for boy and
one for a girl. Think of the
thousands of worthy high school
graduates in the United States and
Canada who want to start college
this fall but who won't be able to
because they don't have the
money. There's probably boy or
girl in your block or right around
the corner in that situation.
Even though this proposed COL

banner of ''Under 21,'' remember,
it will be ''your" scholarship and
will be in your" name.
Two factors will make this
scholarship a success - applica-
tions from worthy high school
graduates and 'your" nicl1les,
dimes and dollars.
Any 1860 high school graduate
who wants to start college this fall
but faces a stumbling block be-
cause of finances is welcome to
send along his name and address.
He or she should also send along
valid reasons why outside finan-
clal assistance is needed, the
choice of college, planned stud
les, grades in high school, and
overall ambition. The name of
the high school principal or class
advisor is also needed.
The two successful applicants,
one boy and one girl, will be
chosen on the basis of financial
need, worthineSs and past scho-
laStic ability.
Naturally, this under 81" Scho-
larship will only be as successful
as the contributions received from
you teen-agers and children.
Parents, OF course, may also con-
