PAGE FOUR SPORT SLANTS] It’s Duke vs. Carolina i.• ■ - Take your pick fellows, it’s Duke against Carolina again and may the best team win the game. Both institutoins have swell football teams and boh would like to win the game. Both teams are loaded with stars ana anything can happen. Writers say that the scoring will be done through the air and as we all know the teams have good passers as well as good receivers. Big Bob Gantt may see action for the first time this season and if he does it will be plenty of it when someone tries to throw a pass over his end of the team. Altho Duke lost to Navy last Saturday they still rate high in the football j world and none of the sport writers are trying to sell the Duke boys short About 40 Duke men will be in uni form ready for the game and you will have to remember that they are all good or they would not be on the player’s bench. Carolina proved last Saturdoy that her team is to be con sidered this yearand altho she to Georgia Tech, that doesn’t mean a thing. That was an early game and the players • have proved that they have the stuff. If you do not have your ticket, you had better try to get one now. if you can.

SPEAKER AT HISTORIC RITES Celebration Os 15,0 Years Os History At Chapel Hill Observed. Chapel Hill. Oct. 13.—Any mil itary alliance made after this war must be supported by some type of international political institu tion if there is to be security against future wars, President Harold W. Dodds of Princeton University declared in an ad dress here Tuesday. Speaking at the sesquicenten nial celebration of the laying of the cornerstone of the oldest building of the University of North Carolina, the first State university in America to open its dcosr to students, President Dodds asserted that “there is a growing body of opinion that neither military isolation nor military alliance along the fam iliar lines of balance of power will give us security against fu ture wars of annihilation. We mast organize for peace or we shall not have peace.” President Frank P. Graham of the University of North Carolina, who shared the speaking pro gram with the Princeton execu tive, traced in detail the origin and development of the univer sity and showed by historical documents beyond contradition that the university was the first state university in the country to open its doors to students. He presented a graphic word picture of the university’s role in the nation’s war effort, pointing out that the institution had a defense program in full swing 20 months before Pearl Harbor and that immediately after America’s entry into war, a training pro gram, for both military and civ ilian students. He said the uni versity is also active in post-war projects. President Dodds, in discussing the post-war outlook in a pro phetic vein, said that “if after this war we must get ready for the next war on the scale that it will require we must bid fare well to our ambitions for higher standards of living for all. “If the world is to remain an armed camp—if we must live in a psychology of constant pre paration for war, what we call democracy will inevitably have to give way to dictatorship in some form. “As our constitutional fathers well knew, you cannot militarize a government and keep it dem ocratic. And they took careful steps to establish the supremacy of the civil over the military view of life.” President Dodds spoke before an assemblage of more than 3,000 persons, including the 1,550 trainees in the university’s V-12 Navy and Marine and Army un its, and the university’s trustees, faculty, students, and hundreds of other citizens. It seemed f peculiarly fitting that President Dodds should be the principal speaker at today’s exercises for, as he pointed out, Princeton was linked to the Uni versity of Noth Carolina by close faculty ties in the early days of the institution. ■He said the cornerstone of the Old East Building, near which today’s colorful exercises were held, was laid by a Princeton man, Gen. William R. Davie, of ten called the father of the uni versity., SWEET POTATOES Sweet potato meal, made by dehydrating sweet potatoes, has been found to be about 3 per cent more efficiAt than cracked shelled corn in feeding steers. Club. HUSH POTATOES The average yield of Irish po tatoes in the U. St has increased from 112.6 bushels to 136 bushels per acre in the last ten years. It is thought that this increase is partly due to the new varieties which have been introduced. One of these is the North Carolina “Sequoia”. Os 230,740 arrest records exam ined in the U. S. in 1943, 47.3 per cent were persons with fing erprint records already on file at the F. B. I. • PERSON COUNTY TIMES ROXBORO, N. C. * PODENT APPEAL FOR SUP PORT OF FUND COMES FROM page) Fund Drive.

Weigh the needs ]of our allies and fighting men I against your responsibility as 100 percent American living in a free America and give to the best of your ability,” says the Person chairman. One of the best of these letters, from Lieut.. James M. Abbitt, of Kojcboro and Miami, Fla., a son of Mr. and Mrs. I. O. Abbitt, of Roxboro, who is now with the Air Corps in North Africa, says: “Thanks for your letter of July 24th. It is good to hear that Rox bcio is putting on a war .drive. 1 am sure its citizens will be willing and glad to do all they can for the. boys in the service. “When you leave the States, your sense of values makes a big change. Entertainment that you accepted at home as matter of course becomes over here ‘The evtnt’ of the week. Just a movie now and then is a great help to your morale, even an old movie is keenly enjoyed. The motion picture industry has been very kind and generous to us. They furnish us without charge, plen ty of shows, many of the newest out. We can see plenty movies if we can get projectors, that’s where the USO comes in, they furnish the projectors and it takes a tremendous number to reach all the boys. "The USO does a splendid job of sending across some of our greatest entertainers and organiz ing local ones to cover as many camps as they can. It is a big job and they need every dime they can get. They realize how much the boys count on them to make life a little more livable. Bob Hope is in North Africa at the present time. I hope that I shall get an opportunity to see his show. Carol Landis, Kay Francis, Martha Ray and Mitzi Mayfair were in North Africa when it really was a theater of operations. They were the first English speaking girls that lots of us had seen in six months. They .did no end of good as builders of morale. In addition to seeing the show, I had the pleas ure of flying in the same form ation when we carried them to a new field. They had given us a shmw so we tried to return the favor by giving them an axhibi tion of close formation flying. I don’t think they will ever for get the ride. I know I won’t it was pretty close and low. “Here is luck, Mr. Hunter, I know you can count on Roxboro and Person County for , your quota.’’ Best Regards, JAMES M. ABBITT Ist Lt. Air Corps.
