JUNEAU-D0UGLAS
RIFLE TEAMS TIE
IN SECOND SHOOT

Fortified with the addition of
three new crackshots, members of
the Juneau Territorial Guard Rifle
Team last night journeyed to Doug
las with blood in their eyes to
avenge the defeat the Douglas Ter
ritorial Guard Rifle Team gave them
two weeks ago.
Results of the shooting match,
held in the Douglas Natatorium, was
not the walloping defeat for Douglas
that the Juneau Guardsmen hoped
for, but a tie, TIC to TIC.
The Capital City team credit the
three new members with aiding in
bringing up their score. The Island
ers claim they would have had a
much higher record had they not
lost two members, Rustad and
Kirkham.
Following the shooting the Doug
las Guardsmen served hot coffee and
doughnuts to their guests.
The next match between the two
teams will be in two weeks in
Juneau. The public is invited to
attend any of the contests.
Individual scores at last nights
tournament were as follows:

ADDITIONAL COAL
EXPECTED TODAY
Camp Davis Releases 100
Tons For Wilmington
Dealers

Additional coal for heat starv-
ed Wilmington homes is expect
ed to be available today, if users
will come get it dealers believed
last night, following an announce
ment by the Camp Davis public
relations office that officials at the
post have released 100 tons of coal
to help combat the acute fuel
shortage here.
Meanwhile, the fuel oil shortage
problem appeared graver, One
large fuel dealer reported that the
January oil quota just received
Monday permits only one-third OF
his normal sales during this
month.
The dealer estimated that the
normal sale of fuel oil in Will
nington by all retailers amounts
to more than 100000 gallons per
month.
The two railway carloads OF
coal furnished for sale through
all coal companies in Wilmington
by Camp Davis was released on
an emergency basis, the public
relations officer said. Local COM
panies are required to replenish
this amount to Camp Davis when
the coal supply becomes plentiful
in Wilmington again." he said.
AS immediate relief from the
acute coal shortage here was in
sight, coal dealers renewed their
appeal to the public to be patient
1t was said that because of re-
ports of the shortage the public
has become frantic. Some persons
are believed to be coming to the
coal yard twice in day for sup
plies, and are boarding it,
Coal dealers are apparently
making every effort to obtain
supplies of coal here and have
the assurance from"the Solid Fuels
Administration general director
for this territory that approx
mately $500 tons will be shipped
here for distribution through all
retail merchants in about seven
days.
One fuel retailer said the Camp
Davis allotment of coal will "help
a whole lot. 1t should give at
least 1000 persons some coal in
bags"

The Governor said that the laws
provide for voting in primaries
and for voting and registration for
general elections. The only point
that there is some doubt about,
he said, is whether or not service

This matter will be ruled upon by
the attorney general, he said, but
it is thought that the laws cover
this point too. I
Governor Broughton again said
that there is no need to call

done.
His statement followed one by

adding that Georgia then will

Governor Broughton had no COM
ment on ArnalPs claim that "Geor-
gia would then be first" to set up

in the armed forces, but merely
said that North Carolina already
has made such provisions.
