Castro took over Cuba and we
are now confined to the USA.
May of all months is really the
Queens day and crown them we

some Of its beginnings but the
smiles of the queens will drive
away the gloom and behind each
cloud the sun still shines. BY the
end OF the month of the year
much of the discomfort will be
vanished and America the Beauti-
ful will come forth triumphant
always happy in a worthy
cause.
On my trip to Farmville de

at the most friendly place to deal
anywhere they don't just adver-

Winding up at the beginning
it's always Mr.. Otis Shepard and

for a long time remember my

full. And the bridge is splendid.

some sacrifice to uphold those ideals. They
believe the determined, sacrificial, unsefish
patriotic spirit of Valley Forge is a thing OF
the past.
They believe that we, as nation. have
become so divided, so ptted against one an
other, that we cannot act in unity
They believe that before we wake up to
what is happening, it will be too late This is
why Khrushchev said this past January that
it would be possible for the Communists to
conquer the world without war.
They believe our discomfort will bring
them success. All of us at times think the cards
of life are stacked against us. Perhaps our
talents are not receiving the recognition we
think they deserve. Perhaps we resent being
member Of so-called minority group.
Just remember that all of us are mem
bers Of one or more minority groups. whether
its religious, racial, social, political or what
have you. 1t is on these discontents that Com
munsm thrives 1t makes promises which it
has no intention Of fulfilling In other words,
Communism comes to power with the support
of our human weaknesses.
Finally they believe success will be
theirs because it will not be necessary to con-
vert the majority of Americans to their views.
In no country which the Communists have
taken over including Russia itself. did they
have the support of a majority of the people.
Speakers continued The best way to
fight Communism is to be informed Know the
facts concerning our system. Know how our
governments operate. Know the advantages of
free enterprise. Know the painful process by
which we acquired our rights and liberties Be
aware of your freedoms and benefits.
BE alert for any imperfections in our
system and strive to correct them through
constitutional means.
All over the world today, struggle is
going on for the minds of men. They call it a
cold war but in truth it is World War III

I have always referred to the
arm swing in bowling as q
pendulum movement. I think II
helps q bowler If he considers
the arm swing so, because 1t
gives him a mental picture OF
how straight back and straight
forward the arm swing should
go.
However, there are two aspects
Of the arm swing that don't
follow q pendulum's movement.
First. the forward swing of
the arm Is Q faster movement
than the backward swing. This
is natural because the forward
swing benefits from the mo-
mentum which the body has
developed in the first three
steps Of the approach.
And the forward swing re-
places the right leg Is the
bowler brings the ball forward.
