Rose Bowl Weather
Last January Ist was a bad, rainy day for the state
of North Carolina and much more so for the city of Dur
ham. The Rose Bowl football game was being played
there and the day was a swell one for ducks. Even tho it
was snowing in Pasedena it made little difference to
people here. It was still bad enough.
This year, with nothing at stake, the weather was i
perfect, not too warm and not too cold. T.he sun was \
shining and everything was just right for football, j
North Carolinians had some interest in the game but j
not quite as much as they had last year.
To Be or Not To Be
Right now golfers of this county are wondering
whether they will be able to get the gas and tires and !
the golf balls to play golf this spring and summer. The
course is in the best shape that it has ever been in but
the war is very much in evidence and no one* knows
whether golf will survive the summer or not.
Th«> month of Dccef.'.lrr is ustn’lv vo-y n ,v e f or go if
but/ this past December was a different storv, There
have been very few rounds of golf played here for a
month or more.
FDR WORKS ON
NON-WAR BUDGET
May Ask For 105 Billion !

WASHINGTON, Jan. I.
President Roosevelt, having plac
ed responsibility for non-war
budget economics on the dcor
sb:p of the new Congress, will
begin work on a budget for the]
nevt fiscal year which some gov-;
ernment officials expect to reach!
$105,000,000,000.
War expenditures for the sis-1
cal year beginning July 1, 1943,]
are estimated at the rate of SB,-j
000,000,000 a month or a total of
$96,000,000,000,, and it is with
that part of the budget that the
President will concern himself.
He pointed out yesterday at a
press conference that during the
last year more than $1,000,000,-
000 in non-war expenditures had
been cut from the Federal bud-:
get and that it 1 remained for!
Congress to determine exactly
what constituted non-war ex-!
penditures and to decide wheth- ]
*er it wants to make further cuts.

I The unarmed defense training
) ( will come in handiest with strag-
I I glers and shell-shfocked troops,
: , Major Reagan believes.
“Chaplains,” he stated, “must
W
be prepared for physical action.
Often they talk with stragglers
who are shell-shocked or men
tally deranged. The stragglers
may break into violence. If the
chaplain has practiced unarmed
defense, he should be able to
handle the man without any
weapon and prevent trouble.
“Os course, the military police
would probably be present, butj
they might be occupied, or too]
far away from the immediate 1
vicinity to render assistance on
time.”
