 Enlisted Reserve Corps
 The accredited colleges and universities of the United States have been called upon to parti- cipate in the program for the voluntary enlistment of college students in the Enlisted Reserve Corps.

During the next school year students of all classes may be enlisted; in future years only incoming freshmen will be ellg- ible.

20 Leading Seattle Business Men Travel in E. C.; MagnusOn
 Is Also Invited


 SEATTLE, Aug.-TWenty lead i ing Seattle business men left on a three-day trip into British Col umbia 10 inspect the Pacific Great Eastern Railway in con tlnuatlon of the effort to connect Seattle and other Pacific Coast cities with the projected new railway between Fairbanks, Al asaa. and Prince George, B. C.
 The delegation, sponsored by the Seattle Chamber of Com meree. was invited to take the trip by Premier John L. Hart of British Columbia Glenn Caring ton. chairman of the chambers Alaska Committee, headed the group. Included in the party Was Congressman Warren C. Maeadson. who was invited to ac company the group upon his ar rival n Seattle.
 Leaving Seattle, the party went 10 Vancouver, B. C. by boat and carly the next morning, an- other boat was taken to Squa- mish. B C.. the southern ter minus Of the Pacific Great East ern. which is just 30 miles north of Vancouver.
 Special Train
 Premier Hart had arranged for a speelal train to carry the dele gation over the 346-mile P,G.E. road 10 its northern terminus at iQueshel. point eighty miles south of Prince George. 1 TraVeIing only during the day light hours so that the visitors could get a complete picture of the railroad, the party spent the second night at Lillooet, about third of the way up the road. The next day the delegation con tinucd 10 Quesnel where they spent two hours before return ing directly to Squamish and Vancouver.
 The delegation inspect the pro- Vlnclally owned line and looked into the possibilities of an exten- sion from Quesnel to Prince George which will be the south ern terminus of a new projected road now being located by the army engineers.
 Such an extension would pro vide an 188-mile cutoff between Seattle and Prince George.
 Severe Grade
 Because the southern half ol the P.G.E. runs oyer a severe grade, the delegation investigat- ed the possibilities of an alter nate route which would utilize the Canadian National Railway from Vancouver to Ashcroft. where forty-mile extension to Clinton on the P.G.E. road would eliminate the poorer part of the road.
 The proposed line from Prince George 10 Fairbanks would thea complete direct rail route from Seattle to Fairbanks.
 The Seattle Chamber of Com rcrce has worked several months to bring some solution to the problem of a connecting link for Seattle and other Pacific Coast cities, not only from a military point of view but from a stand point of permanent commercial trade with the Northern terri 1 tory.

Gas Furnace Fight Goes
To Appeals Court Today

Residents of the River Terrace
development planned to take their
fight to halt the conversion Of their
furnaces from gas to coal to the
Court of Appeals today, after Justice
F. Dickinson Let's in District Court
yesterday refused a rehearing In the
case.
The So householders had asked
Justice Let's for an injunction to
prevent the War Production Board
from carrying out its intention to
have the gas for furnaces turned off
in the houses. The WPB asserts
that the residents are not entitled
to furnace gas under an order for
bidding its delivery to houses the
foundations of which were not COM
pleted March l. The footings had
been poured for the River Terrace
houses by that date, but the WPB
contends this stage of construction
does not meet the definition of
foundation"
The WPB said today that it will
not direct the Washington Gas Light
Co. to turn off the gas while the
case is being appealed
Justice Let's refused a rehearing
IN the case yesterday despite an
affidavit by Theodore Tourangeau,
assistant District building inspector,
who said that a footing might. be
called a foundation. The jurist
disagreed.

Winter Gale Lashes
Capital, Sending
Mercury Down 10 Il
Wind Reaches Speed
Of so Miles on Hour;
Colder Tonight Forecast

A biting wind ripped through
the Washington area and sent
the mercury down to a low of %
at midnight, with even colder
weather expected tonight. The
temperature was expected to
drop to 18 degrees tonight.
At 9 am. the mercury still stood
at % degrees, with no prospect OF
it rising above the freezing point
during the day. Yesterdays gale
which brought with it a brief furry
of snoWfakes, was expected to di-
minish during the day.
The wind, which reached a speed
of SO miles an hour yesterday, gave
oil users their first real idea of what
the winter would be like under the
rationing system. Householders
WINGED as they listened to the steady
roar of their oil burners, fighting
to keep the inside temperature ur
to the OPA-approved IS degrees and
mentally they checked off the
amount of oil being eaten up by the
freezing temperatures and the high
wind.
The SnoWStorm, which came at
4 pm. yesterday, was quickly blown
into the Atlantic, according to the
Weather Bureau.
Meanwhile, the Fire Department
reported three calls during the day
to fires started by overheated fur
naces. Filling stations did a brisk
business in anti-freeze mixtures and
the American Automobile Associa-
tion was called out frequently to
start automobiles for motorists
whose batteries had run down.
During the height of yesterdays
windstorm, branches and traffic
signs were strewn on the streets.
In the TOO block of Twenty fourth
street NV. tree fell on a parked
automobile, causing some damage.
