More than fifty percent of the world is starving.
Another twenty percent, just plain hungry. And yet, in the
face of starvation, they have hope. Hope that the rains will
return to the African Plain. Hope that the Asian rice crop
will be bigger this year. Hope that someone, anyone, with
anything to offer will come to help them fight the battle for
life. Someone in the Peace Corps. They'd like to stand up
for themselves, these prisoners of fate, but they're just
too weak to stand up. But with the Peace Corps a flame
begins to flicker. They've seen other like you before. Seen
the changes you can bring. Two thousand wells on the
parched earth of Sahel. Seen how their knowledge helped
reduce the grain losses. Who are they? They're people
pretty much like you. People with commitment and skills
who've assessed their lives and decided there must be
more than just having a job. They looked into themselves
and knew it was time for the talk to end and the work to
begin. They're very special people, these people. Totally
prepared to give everything they've got. And getting back
even more than they give. That's the beauty of the Peace
4 Corps. The work is hard and the pay is
lousy, and the progress comes a drop
at a time. But the rewards are infinite.
Join the Peace Corps and then
take a good long look in the mirror.
You'll never look the same to
yourself again.

Why blimps
are called
blimps
Everyone's heard of the
Goodyear blimp, but few
know that ‘‘the other
guys,”” Goodrich, also had
a blimp. It disap} eared in
the Great Lakes in 1919.
Goodrich, and also Good-
year, both built Flimps, or
dirigibles, for t.e Army
during World War One.
The military war‘ed a long
-range airship to hunt down
U-boats.
The word ‘‘blimp’’ is
derived from the B-type
limp balloon aircraft. It
came to be called ‘‘B-limp”’
and then ‘‘Blimp.”’

We can’t see the number, but we think that’s Mummau picking up 2 extra points
for DHS. The officials got plenty of opportunities to hold both arms up in the air
last Friday.
Indians trample Cocalico
The Donegal Indians
knocked a few feathers off
the Cocalico Eagles last
Friday, with a 36-8 victory
that tied an all-time record
for DHS.
The Indians now have an
8-2 record, with one game
(against bottom-ranked
Garden Spot) left to play.
No Donegal team has ever
won more than 8 games in
a season, but the Indians
will probably do just that
next Saturday.
Lebanon Catholic has a
worse overall record than
the Indians (with only S
wins) but leads by half a
game in Section 3 play.
If skyward-pointing fingers are any indication, Donegal :
fans think their team is still number one.
With six shut-outs under
their belts, the Indians
have given up fewer points
this year than any team in
the county.
Running back Pete
Splain, who was benched
with a minor injury for
much of the game, mana-
ged to rush 148 yards on 15
carries anyway. The statis-
tics aren't in yet, but
Splain seems to have
overtaken L-S quarterback
Smoot, and will probably
tally more rushing yards
this year than any local
football player.
Scott Mowrer, who would
be the leading rusher of
almost any other team in
the county, added 144
yards. Splain and Mowrer
racked up that yardage on
only 15 carries each.
The Indian defense held
Cocalico to only 6 first
downs (their one touch-
down was set up by a fluke
44 yard run).
Scott Jones scored twice
for the Indians on short
running plays. Quarterback
Brian Ney scored on a
quarterback sneak. Mowrer
made a 10 yard run to the
goal line and Arlen
Mummau scored from 7
yards out. Splain kicked
two conversions (and
booted one kickoff to the
Cocalico end zone).
Mummau picked up 4 extra
points and Moyer added 2.
