How Many Do You k
WHICH DO YO
HIGH SCHOOL,
With the crispness of
Autumn in the night air,
the music of marching
bands, and the thud of
shoulder pads in physical
contact, we begin another
football season. The
question arises ? which do
you enjoy watching most?
High School, College, or
Pro football?
A former pro player, a
football official, and a
parent of a high school and
college player, all Clinton
Mills Employees, expressed
their opinions as follows:

Claude Grady ? "I prefer
High School because I
have been a close fan of the
Red Devils for a number
of years. I had two boys
who played for C.H.S.. both
graduated last year.

Bill Hill ? "Having the
privilege of playing high
school, college, and professional
foot ball it's hard
for me to single out any
particular one.
"In high school and college
the atmosphere is a
little different than the
pros. The fans seem to be
closer to you and you come
in contact personally with
a number of them. In the
pros it is operated more on
a business basis. I would
have to say the play of
pros is more wide open and
exciting."
Edgar Ballew ? "I thoroughly
enjoy the Pros. The
precision and effeciency of
the teams is what I like
musi aoout mem, cm Sunday
afternoon I enjoy just
sitting back and relaxing
by the T.V.
"I enjoy officiating High
School games on Friday
night. I have always enjoyed
working with kids."

"I enjoy watching the
high school games because
first, I have a son on the
team and then I know a
number of the other boys
who are team members.
"All through the week
the Friday night game is
discussed by most employees
in the plant and most
of us are fans of the Red
Devils.
"I hope Jack, my son,
will be able to attend college
after he completes
high school and continue
in football because he really
enjoys it."

In 1955, she urged the DAR
Resolutions Committee to
prepare a resolution on Constitution
Week to present to
the Congress. Members of
both Houses received copies
of the resolution, and Senator
William F. Knowland
of California introduced the
Senate Concurrent Resolution
Number 140, requesting
the President to issue
a proclamation, setting aside
September 17-23 as Constitution
Week. Public Law
Number 915 was the result
of President Eisenhower's
proclamation in August,
1955. President Johnson is
the third president to issue
this proclamation.
The purpose of Constitua
: iit ? * - 1
nun wcck is to bring before
the public the great
document which for 181
years has been the structure
on which our Government
is built.
The Constitution, formulated
by a group of intellectuals,
holding widely divergent
views, was signed
on September 17, 1787, at
the Federal Convention in
Philadelphia. It was an entirely
new and revolutionary
document, expressing

3, 1968 marks the thirteenth
Week, a week set aside by
pay tribute to this greatest
? Constitution of the United
the government.
Among the 55 delegates f
to the Federal Convention
were those brilliant and
able men ? Benjamin
Franklin, John Adams,
James Madison, Alexander
Hamilton and John Marshall.
All held, or were to
hold, important positions
in our Government.
Of the men who sat
through the hot days in
Independence Hall there
were 36 lawyers, highly
skilled and widely read. ^
The other 19 made equally
valuable contributions. Together
they developed a
political theory, practical
but visionary, untried but
eminently feasible, that
bore out "Thomas Jeffer
" i: r _
ouii a lainuua pill list" 1UU,
liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness" as the right of
al! citizens.
The end result of their
political theory was the
Constitution. It grew from ?
these men's ideas and compromises.
The Constitution provided
a system, sponsored by
cautious John Adams, of
checks and balances, preventing
any one of the
three branches of government
from becoming the
central power.
Let us honor the authors
of the Constitution during
