With a grin a mile wide, the eoally sour Coach Wallace |Wade ol the Blue Devils received the news that Oregon SUte had agreed to play the game on New Year’s day in Duke stadium which seats upwards of 50,000. War department approval has already been asked for the con test, which was to have been held, PS usual, in Pasadena but was can celled upon the request of army officers after outbreak of the war' with Japan. ] Urging official military sanc tion, Governor J. Melville Brough-1 ton assured Washington authori ties that the game would not inter fere in any way with the defense program in North Carolina. think the army will give its permission,” he commented. ‘‘We want to have the game here, and | to tell you the truth I'd like to see it myself.” Frank Pierson, secretary of the Durham chamber of commerce, im mediately set in motion plans for making the occasion a noteworthy celebration. Admitting that Durham couldn’t well expect to arrange a parade that would rank with the one stiig- ed annually in Pasadena in connec tion with the game, Pierson prom ised “We’re going to show them that Durham can put on an enter tainment.” He took the position that “the army can’t very well call off the game here unless it calls off all other bowl gamc.s—such as the Sugar and Orange bowls.” The Tournament of Ro.scs will make all arrangements for the game, it was In an’effort to aid our mobil izing defense forces, a Service Mo'or Corps,, representing car owners who are willing to enlist their services and furnish trans portation to men in the service of the army, navy, air and mar ine corps of the nation, will he sponsored by the Carolina Motor Club, according to an annonnee- DoUie; her fatkw^ind^ once.

Dear Mother: I hope you are well and happy, I feel fine as “frog hair”. My new jobs are the best I have ev er had. The job in the Mifltary In'elligence office is easy at the I presen’ time because we do not have much to do, but we will I later on. My other job as book keeper is not bard either. On that job I don’t guess I will work I over 1 or 2 nights per. week. Ky best friend that I have got ac quainted with while down here is working on the job all the ime, but he needs some help oc casionally. I told the Lt. that he needed a person full time on the books, and that since I had a good job, this other boy would mak^ a good one for it. He then told me that he would use the other boy alt the time and use me part of the time. For this ex- ra work we each get .one-half of our base pay extra per month. I am enclosing a little Christ mas present and a surprise to. I did not think that I would get to send you over |5 but I am. That is the surprise. I hope you use it and make ttaia Christmas one of the best you have ever had despl’e the fact that I will not be there with you. When I get my pay for December I hope to >he able to send you $15 at Love and kisses, HAROLD. A similar plan has jnst recent, ly been launched in California and is proving to fill an impor tant national defense need. Membership In the Service Mo tor Corps is open to all respon sible automobile owners.' There will be no dues and no charges of any kind. All that is required by the car owner is his desire to do his 'bit for enlisted men whenev er possible. The purpose of thU will be to eliminate all stigma of uniformed men hitch - hiking, officially frowned upon by the government, and will further avoid the possi bility of a motorist picking up a .service man who might be absent without leave. Each motorist who e.ulists in the Service Motor Corps will be provided with an attrac'ive, two- color windshield emblem and will be furnished with a registration card so that each service man giv- ci. a ride may register. Each of the 62 offices of 'he Carolina Motor Club will be pro vided with registration cards and windshield emblems, and motor ists calling there may obtain them by registering. The plan has been submitted to the commanding officers of the larger army and air corps bases within the Carolinas, who have approved the plan of operation and It will be put Into effect at Both she and her husband were taken to the Ashe county hospital, but Mrs. Koontz bled to death be fore she larrivei# there.
