Durham Plans to
Entertain Veterans

DURHAM, June 19.-When the
army of World War veterans from
every section of North Carolina ar
rives here for the annual convention
of the state department of the
American Legion the latter part of
next month they will find much en-
tertainment arranged for their en-
joyment. For many weeks members
of the Durham Post, unedr the di-
rection of DR.. D. r. Perry, state de-
partment vice and gen.
-eral convention chairman, have been
working out plans for the conven-
ton and no pains have been spared
in the effort to make the program
one that will set a new high STAN
dard for the state.
The Duke University football sta
dunn has been secured for the drum
and bugle corps drills and for other
competitive events and arrange
ments are being completed for the
electrical illumination of the vast
chestra providing the rhythm for
dancing feet will be given in COM
pliment to the visiting Legionnaires
and members of the Legion AuXvili-
airy. The Salvation Army, long re-
membered as friends of the soldiers
overseas during the World War, will
establish one or more dugouts from
which point doughnuts and coffee
will be distributed without charge to
the veterans. Shows and other forms
of entertainn7en t are also being ar
ranged for.
Under the plan announced by DR..
Perry, only the veterans registering
at one of the several booths to be
operated for their convenience will
be permitted to share in the festivi-
ties being arranged. But gifts and
favors, equalling the cost Of the reg
istration, will be given to all those
registering, thereby assuring them
of their full moneys worth.
With an attendance of fully 5000
men and women predicted by the
state department officials, the hous-
ing committee is working at the task
of assuring every visitor of place
to stay during his sojourn here.
While all hotel rooms have been re-
served, many homes are being offer
ed by interested citizens in taking
care of those who will be unable to
find accommodations in the hotels.
According to DR.. Perry. no veteran
or member of the Auxiliary should
stay away from the convention be-
cause of fear that they might be I'M
able to be properly housed. The
housing committee is headed by
Frank Pierson, secretary of the Dur
ham Chamber of Commerce, through
whom requests for reservations are
being handled.

Highway Hearings
to Be Held in Wilkes
Allows Interviews
With Commission Without
Making Raleigh Trip

J. Gordon Hackett, member of the
state highway commission for the
eighth division composed of ten
northwestern North Carolina coun-
ties, held his first public hearing for
the district at the courthouse in
Wilkesboro Monday.
Under the present highway setup,
the commissioner for each division
has set aside day in each month
for the purpose of hearing any dele
cation concerning the highway
needs in any county in the division
Commissioner Hackett designated
the second Monday in each month
for the eighth division and on Mon
day many interested persons were
heard before him at the courthouse.
In an interview several days ago
Mr.. Hackett explained that recon-
mendations of county commissioners
and school superintendent would
be given much consideration be-
cause of the fact that they are in
position to know the actual highway
needs of the respective counties.
Mr.. Hackett has been in Raleigh
during the past two days attending
sessions of the highway commission.
The plan for division hearings was
set up for the convenience of the
people in that they do not have to
journey all the way to Raleigh to
be heard but may present their pc
titions to the commissioner for their
respective division.

By Walter McColtum

run the scoring up in the Biltmore
tournament at Miami when the boys
were cut down to using IA clubs or less?
We've always claimed that golf has
been overclubbed and that the game
could be played as well with a dozen
clubs or less than with 20 or more.
You don't have TO 30 further
than some Of our better pros
around Washington to realize
that it's the shots that count
and not the clubs.
Fred Mcleod, for example, never
carries more than 10 clubs and more
frequently he accomplishes his links
miracles with eight implements. Bob
Barnett and George Diffenbaugh got
down below the 14-club limit months
ago. Roland Mackenzie, Witty Cox
and Cliff Spencer continued using a
bagful of clubs, but now they all are
below the limit, and the amateurs have
followed their lead. You won't find
a top amateur around town nowadays
with more than IA clubs in his golf kit.
The business of multiple clubs had
gotten ridiculous over the last two or
three years. Some of the tournament
playing pros carried as many as IS
clubs in their voluminous kits; clubs
for every occasion and every shot that
could possibly be imagined on q golf
course. How they accustomed them
selves to playing these clubs, some Of
which were used only once in a round,
Is beyond us. But such weird weapons
as the SIX wood. the 12-iron and the
clipper, the windjammer and other
extraneous clubs will be out with 1898
They were merely artificial aids to good
golf anyhow.
