to see a good, clean, hard-fought
game!
The Apache sentinel., 1944-12-01

The infantrymen seem to
have a team Of varied gridiron
experience and will prove to
be a skillful and formidable foe
for Sou 1922 when they hit
the turf They have a stalWart line
with a variety of pony backs and q,
very good aerial attack.
From the collegiate ranks the
372nd has: 1st 1t. William F. Car
penter, Virginia State College; Pvt.

Boxing Tourney
Slotted For Dec.

The Post Recreation Officer, Capt.
Boyce NJ. Irwin, disclosed today that
the Athletic Department of Fort
Huachuca has been invited to send
it's boxing team to participate in the
Annual Ninth Service Command
Boxing Championship Tournament.
The district competition will be held
from December IL to December 16.
The finals will begin on January l5
and end January 20, 1945. The places
at which these bouts will be held
was not disclosed.
The 372nd Infantry Regiment,
whiclsis alleged to have several good
fighters of all classes, may enter
some contestants in this affray un-
der the colors of Fort Huachuca.

372nd Inf. Victory
Over Sou Predicted
By Post Rec. Officer
you'll bring us victOry!7

Word came to this office today
that the Post Recreation Officer,
Capt Boyce M Irwin, stated the
372nd Infantry Regiment football
team would be the victorS over the
1922 Sou when they meet on the
turf of Sgt. Wells Memorial Sta
dium, Saturday at P. M. by at
least three touchdowns. (Please note
the forecast.
This prediction came to us Thurs
day afternoon after watching both
teams work out at their respective
fields. Even though the GRIND is
invading the field for the first time
this season. they still seem to have
the better team. ''''fS' ~
When it comes to weight, the
372nd tops the SOU 1922. The line
men will average approximately 189,
while the backs will top the scales
in the vicinity of IT'S per man.
It was also noted that the grid
men of the 372nd possess a very
good passing attack and a bunch
of line-crushing backs. Basing his
(the writer'S) opinion on the de
fense shown by Sou last week, it
is believed that the infantrymen
will gain great deal of yardage
when they take to the air. Also to be
noted is the distance of their punts
and the speed with which the ends
are down upon the ball receiver.
In the face of all this, Sou can
still boast Of four consecutive VIC
tories, which is not to be overlooked
in sizing up the teams. Since they
have been successful in all THEN
contests, it is evident that they also
possess a good team.
May the best team win when they
meet and those attending be certain

GOOD PRICE PREVAILS


Sharp increase in the production
of broilers in Delaware is shown in
Figures released by the Delaware
Crop Reporting Service which show
that there were about 100000
more birds were in broiler houses
in this state on Dec. 1, than on
Nov. 1. The agency estimated that
100000 birds were on hand in
Delaware broiler houses on Dec. 1.
The Nov. 1 figure is 9,500,000. 1t
is estimated there were 100000
birds on Oct. l of this year and
100000 on Dec. 1 last year.
Farmers have been stepping up
production since prices advanced
about two months ago. On the
basis of these figures, up to $780,
900 broilers are due to become IA
weeks old-the age at which they
are usually sold-between Feb, IL
and March 8. The average price
received by producers on Dec. 1
was 28.5 cents, compared with 27.3
cents a year earlier.

HONOR LEADER
Harry Cloud, Recently Named
Councillor, Receives Gift
of Appreciation
REV. DAM ON COMMITTEE

At a Christmas party given last
week by the TARS for the Teen
Age Canteen group, Harry Cloud,
councillor of the youth, was honor
ed by rs young people who present
ed him with gift of appreciation
in recognition of his active interest
in maintaining the organization.
Mr.. Cloud is actively interested and
working every evening the canteen
is opened, and that this group
should show such appreciation is an
effective answer to cynics who
have questioned whether youth
groups give any thought to efforts
made in their behalf. Housed now
in their new quarters the canteen
interests are widening and some
activity is in progress every even
ing, and most afternoons after
school. Rev. Herman Dam, pastor
of the First Presbyterian Church,
was appointed head of the advisory
committee. Rev. Dam has been
active with the young people of his
church and his interest in the Teen
Age Canteen is helping them very
much in their work. The TAG
committee of young people who
work with advisors includes Leon
Morris, president; Betty Ryan, vice
president; and Helen Sawyer, sec

DOVER HOMES LIGHTED
Candles Burning in Windows Has
Been Observed More Than Century

SehiluiCS t1uihittS III w huohS HAS
Been Observed More Than Century
A number of residents thruout
Dover followed the old English
custom of burning candles in the
windows of their homes on Christ
mas Eve. The candles are lighted
after sun-down and are kept burn
ing through the early hours in
keeping with the ancient custom of
having the lights to greet the
guests on Christmas Eve. The
custom has been handed down from
generation to generation and in
some of the older homes has been
practiced continuously for about
two hundred years while in numer-
GUS other homes the custom dates
back more than a hundred years.
In the area surrounding the an
cient Dover Green the candlelight
period attracts most attention since
many of the older homes are locat-
ed in this area and the lighted
candle in each window of the homes
presents an interesting background.
Singing of ancient Christmas car
OILS on the Dover Green followed
the candle light program.

TIRE RATION
CUT ONE-HALF
Situation Reaching a Serious
Point and Operators Are
Warned to Conserve
URGE CAREFUL DRIVING

Predicting that the coming year
will be the most critical in wartime
transportation, District Manager
Clarence E. Keyes, of the Office of
Defense Transportation at Will
mington, warned private automo-
bile owners as we'll as commercial
motor vehicle operators that the
conservation of equipment, tires,
mileage and gasoline is more urg-
ent than ever before. Mr.. Keyes
said that private automobiles still
carry rs percent of the passenger
traffic despite the enormous in
creases in such traffic by rail, in
ter-city bus and local transit sys-
tens, and pointed out that cars in
use now average nearly eight years
in age as compared to a peacetime
average of four and half years.
Consequently" he said, scrap
page of private passenger cars con-
tinues at an increasing high rate
and the total number of such cars
in the hands of essential drivers is
getting dangerously low. AS cars
in use grow fewer and older, the
need for more and more group rid
ing becomes imperative" Mr.. Key
es stated that ODT figures show
that inter-city buses are now car
rying three passengers for every
one carried before the war and that
transit systems in many cities
have more than doubled their pas
senger loads. with military de-
mands cutting heavily into supplies
of tires, parts and replacement
equipment" Mr.. Keyes continued,
sit is obvious that the need for
careful driving, preventive main
tenance and the use of every possl-
BILE means of cutting down mileage
is more imperative than it has
ever BEEN" Commenting on the
recent announcement of Director
Johnson of the Office of Defense
Transportation that present indica-
tions are that commercial motor
vehicle operators will receive only
about one-half of their estimated
tire requirements during the first
three months of 1945, Mr.. Keyes
declared that the present tire sup
ply situation is the most critical
since the war started due to the
unprecedented wear and tear on
military tires in the European
war, which has exceeded all pre-
combat estimates. He called upon
commercial motor vehicle operators
to conserve every ounce of usable
rubber they now have, to retread
and recap every usable tire carcass
and eliminate tire abuse in every
possible way. 1--WE cannot rely on
getting tires from somewhere,
somehow or by some unforeseen
improvement in present condi-
tions." Mr.. Keyes said, "If tires
aren't save now, rubber borne
transportation will be seriously af-
fected, if not impaired, months
hence when the hot weather with
its heavy toll on tires begins"

HONOR FOR
CARPENTER
Junior Carpenter of Post En-
gineers Receives Award For
Labor Saving Device
FIRST OF KIND AT BASE

A labor and money-saving device
for use by the War Department at
Dover Army Air Field brought sig
nal honors and cash award to
Ira S. DeLong of FELTON,, Del, jun
ior carpenter of the Post Engin-
GERS of the air base, who was hon
ored at the semi-annual meeting
of civilian employees on Wednesday.
Colonel Edwin M. Dixon, air field
commanding officer, made the pre-
sentation to Mr.. DeLong, the first
of its kind at Dover, and also pre-
sented War Department service
pins to 43 employees who have COM
pleted six months service at the
base since July. (The prize money,
incidently, all went into War
Bonds, as Mr.. DeLond went direct
ly to the base civilian personnel Of
flee following the meeting and pur-
chased extra" bonds. Mr.. De-
Long has been employed at the
base since August 1943.) Mr.. De-
Longs suggestion solved the Army
headache of moving portable build
ings without damage to the road
ways at the airfield. Expansion
of the field and changes in its mis-
sion bring occasional need for re-
vamping of the portable building
setup. Previously, the moving of
buildings over roadways had torn
up the surface and necessitated
costly repairs. The suggestion,
which already has saved several
hundreds of dollars at Dover and
been accepted for use at other in
stallations, was accepted as part
of the War Departments concerted
quest for suggestions from its CIV
ilian employees to stimulate interest
and incentive in the war effort.
The outstanding record of civilian
employees at the base in the War
Bond campaign-more than 95 per-
cent participation through regular
pay allotments for an average de-
duction of nearly the II percent
quota set in the current drive, was
revealed by the base War Bond Of
ficer, 1t. William B. Hoofstitler.
1t. Stanley Prokop, civilian person
mel officer, presided at the meeting
which opened with short Christ
mas movie and a musical interlude
by Private First Glass Stanley

started with the administering of
Holy Communion by Rev. Father

the wards while gifts were being
distributed to the patients. Every
resident of the home received a
gift. At ten o'clock on Christmas
Eve, DR.. Prickett, superintendent
of the Home, and Mrs. Prickett
were hosts at a party for the en-
ployees of the institutions Sand
wiches, coffee and cake were serv-
ed and a gift presented to every
employee. Throughout the week
the choirs of churches will sing
and the different ministers will give
a short talk. On Christmas Day
Rev. Hart of Wilmington, colored,
presented each guest in the home
with fruit and nuts and later four
colored girls from Wilmington pre-
sented the colored patients on the
second floor with a gift for each,
thus trying to give to those who
are unable to join any family, a
cheerful bit of the holiday season.
