Keep Your Savings
At Home
The spark that keeps business good in any town
is the money that financial institutions have
available for loans. Take our Association, for
example.
Because our people believe in thrift and entrust
their money to our care we have funds to loan
for buying, building or improving a home. This
in turn gives employment to carpenters, electri
cians, plumbers . . . everyone associated with the
building trades. But when people save in distant
cities, this money is unavailable locally which
causes our economy to slump . . . slow down.
Be loyal to your home town. Help keep our
community a better place in which to live and
do business by saving your money at home.

Chesson Chosen For Two Games
DURHAM—WhiIe most col
lege students are home enjoy
ing the Christmas holidays,
five Duke football players
will be hard at work hoping
•to thrill millions of television
viewers during the annual
post-season all-star games.
Seniors Phil Asack, Dick
Biddle, John Cappellano, Wes
Chesson and Leo Hart have
been picked to play in the
prestigious all-star games.
Chesson and Hart, the
great Blue Devil passing
combination, will team in the
East-Aflffs-V, .Shrine game ; ifr
San Francisco on January 2
and in the Senior Bowl on
January 9 in Mobile, Ala.
Chesson, a 6-2, 195 pounder
from Edenton, finished his
career with 164 receptions for
2,399 yards. This season he
caught 74 for 1,080 yards.
Both Hart and Chesson have
re-written the Blue Devil and
ACC record books.
Asack, a 6-3, 220-pound
linebacker from West Bridge
water, Mass., will play in the
North-South Shrine game in
Miami on December 25 and
in the American Bowl in
Tampa on January 10.
Both Biddle, one of the na
tion’s leading linebackers
from Parkersburg, W. Va.,
and defensive back Cappel
lano, a 6-1, 190-pounder from
Easton, Pa., will play in the
Blue-G-ray game in Mont
gomery, Ala., on December
28. Biddle will also play in
the ifamed Hula Bowl.
After guiding the 1970
Duke team to a 6-5 record
and a 5-2 conference mark,
it’s easy to see why Asack,
Biddje,- Capppllano, Chesson I
and Htirf will' be missed in
the Blue Devil football camp.
