Jour hope for the future may in
a large measure lie within our
youthful citizens who are now risk
ing all they have, including their
lives, for u.s."
1--WE must put an end to fric-
ton ard unnecessary destructive
criticism; we must hold the line
against initiation by keeping war

narst above all have national unity
and support of our leaders in the
war effort" he said.
He declared that North Carolina

Returning TO the mill after q

autumn.

certain.
With Dizzy Trout and Hal
Newhouser both looking down
from their 20-game victory
perches, and the spirit of the
Tigers unquestionably at it's
highest peak OF the season.
there still is a good chance the
men of w. o. Briggs might
thunder down the stretch and
overtake the Brownies and Red
SoX.
Certainly II the team can
capitalize on its next home stay
as we'll as II has overcome the
handicaps Of road battling.

be needed again.
