little. We can say, then, that not only do we like to have fun, but also
that we ought to have fun.

We are accustomed in this country to associating sports with the
seasons—basketball with winter, lacrosse (at least here in Maryland)
with early spring, baseball with summer and football with autumn.
With all that has been going on in Chicago and Los Angeles these last
few days, it certainly cannot be said 1959 baseball is over. But it is fall,
and the football season is here. And football is as much a part of
autumn as are falling leaves and bracing cool weather. For those of us
who like football, this should be for us Marylanders one of our best
years. We have right here in this city our Baltimore Colts, the world's
champions in professional football, to say nothing of the many fine col-
legiate and high school teams in the State. Let's support them by going
out to see them play. Let's all enjoy ourselves to the fullest during
this football season.

REMARKS, ADVERTISING CLUB HONORING
CARROLL ROSENBLOOM

BALTIMORE
December 7, 1960

I am pleased and highly honored to join with my fellow-members of
the Advertising Club of Baltimore today in paying just and deserving
tribute to an illustrious citizen of Maryland. We salute you, Carroll
Rosenbloom, as truly "the Man of the Year. "

There are many of us here, I know, who are still nursing the bruises
we suffered in that terrible jolt at Memorial Stadium last Sunday. So
much has been written and said about this catastrophe already that it
would be foolish for me to assume that I can add anything. I may say,
however, that I am sure that I voice the sentiment of every person here
when I say that I remain a most ardent fan of the Baltimore Colts, and, as
such, hold a deep conviction that this team will go on to win its third
consecutive national championship. But whatever its destiny, this pro-
fessional football team already has brought profits and benefits of
immeasurable value to the City of Baltimore and the State of Maryland.

It would be a virtual impossibility to overestimate the worth of the
good will and favorable publicity that has come our way as a result of
the activities of this aggregation of athletes. Millions of people through-
out the United States have viewed them on their television screens.
