H Smith announced that officers and enlisted men of the post would Participate in the C o m m u n i t y Chest drive here, November 17-27. No specific goal has been set {01- the voluntary subscription oeriod at Davis, but the total con tribution. according to a military spokesman, will approximate ""Military personnel, having their own welfare fund within the camp, ,vijl not share directly in the pro ceeds of the Community Chest campaign- Nevertheless, Camp navis has expressed the desire to play a part in the drive. Soldiers look upon the Wilming ton drive as an opportunity to re ciprocate for favors done by resi dents of the city in providing recreational facilities. Arrangements for canvassing mil j,arv personnel are to be handled by Colonel A, E. Potts and Capt. 1. B. Wantuck. Camp Davis of ficers and enlisted men residing in Wilmington will not be solicited at their homes here by Community Chest workers.

Already Camp Davis troops have contributed to their own welfare fund, which is being used to assist soldiers and their families in meet ing unforeseen emergencies, thus relieving Wilmington of any finan cial burden incident to the influx of soldiers.

Pershing; and President Roosevelt Captain Eddie Rickenbacker Scores Another Narrow Escape From Death -— ★ BY SETH MOSELEY NEW YORK, Nov. 14.—GPt—Capt. "Eddie” Rickenbacker has stood on death’s doorstep for years, but the host could never quite get him to come in. They’ve been telling you for years he’s a daring front runner, flirting devilishly with danger, but “Rick” is cold, calculating and makes his moves methodically. At now coming back alive from an ocean of missing men, he is a marked man—marked by in juries from a recent crash, marked inside by memories of his great plane dueling with the Germans in the World war. But he is a com pletely unafraid man—unafnfid but cautious. Once this American ace downed a German plane by smacking it amid ships with his own plane in mid air, righting his own as the German one plummeted to earth. But watching a window cleaner hanging by a belt from a skyscraper window makes him shudder. As a great automobile racer, he was a spectacular “front runner." getting out ahead of the pack, sometimes turning turtle or crash ing into fences. But once at a big race, he re fused to let one of the popular drivers race because “Rick” thought Ire was too ill. Rickenbacker was badly injured in a commercial plane crash early last year near Atlanta, Ga., that took the lives of 7 persons. Rescuers rushed to the scene and found Rickenbacker pinned in. This is Rickenbacker talking: “Don't strike a match . . , it*U explode the gasoline.’’ "Take it easy boys, let's not get excited.” (To fellow passengers) “I’m aw fully sorry this had to happen to you boys.” He was the last to be removed from the ship, suffering from a hip fracture. • ell the boys I 11 be out in three or four weeks,” he said. But he was laid up for months. In World war 1 (he started out as General Pershing's chauffeur, but that was too prosaic) he down ed 21 enemy planes and four bal loons to rank as the ace of Ameri can aces. He bested the Germans in single combat and wriggled out of traps when they ganged him. Once his ship was crippled and he crash ed. but the fall was behind his own lines. He was boss of the Indianapolis speedway and in 1934 he was named general manager of Eastern Air lines. -V Banks Is Transferred To Warrenton Station Reuben W. Banks, assistant ob server at the local Weather Bu reau, is being transferred to the Warrenton station, where he will be observer and official in charge.
