average family gets about twice as
much electricity for the same money
it paid fifteen years ago.
All this didn't just happen, Of
course. It's due largely to the hard
work, efficiency and experience of
your friends and neighbors who man
and manage this company. That's
why a penny, spent for electricity,
buys SO much.

Big: MONEY
It's still

THE ordinary copper penny has lost
lot of its purchasing power these
days and even some of its copper.
But il SfW buys as much electricity
as ever.
For example, right now in your
home penny will toast about
twenty slices of bread - or brew ten
cups of coffce-or clean five big rugs
or run your refrigerator for several
hours.
Rather startling what penny will
do when you think of it that way,
isn't it?
Actually, the price of electricity
came down so steadily before the

Duke-N. C.. Game
Nearly A Sell-Out

Chapel Hill - Indications point
to a near-capacity crowd here
Saturday afternoon when tn e
Duke Blue Devils and Carolina
Tar Heels renew a gridiron rival
ry which dates back to 1888.
Tickets in the concrete stands
are now being sold around the
10-yard line, and temporary seats,
which will hold an additional
5000 have been put on either end
of the field.
Carolina played undefeated Yale
a much better game than had been
expected, and the Tar Heels show
ing at New Haven has boosted
their stock for the Duke game.
On the basis of season records,
Duke will be favorite, but the Tar
Heels are banking heavily on their
fine defensive play, along with
the traditional aspects of any
Carolina-Duke contest.
Only Army and Georgia Tech,
| two of the top teams in the ma
ton, were able to defeate the Tar
Heels by more than one-touch-
down margins. Duke lost to Army
1T, the Tar Heels were de-
feated by the same club, As to 0.
And it is we'll to note in passing
that these two scores are the low
est the great Army eleven has
registered this year.
Coach Gene McEver is expected
to use Bob Warren, Bill Voris,
Jim Camp and Bobby Weant in
his starting backfield. This COM
bination, besides playing fine de-
fensive ball, has, on occasions,
indicated ability to move on Of
fensive.
Bob Warren, who scored the
winning touchdown against the
Cherry Point Marines and who
intercepted a pass and ran IS
yards for score last Saturday
at Yale, leads the quartet.

our fighter pilots. They are the for
gotten men Of our aerial war.
Not until I came up close to the
African front did realize what
our fighter pilots have been through
and what they are doing. Somehow
or other you don't hear much about
them, but they are the sponge that
is absorbing the fury of the Luft-
waite owe: here. They are taking
it and taking it and taking it. An
everlasting credit should be theirs.
In England, the fighters Of
the Raj got the glory because
of the great Battle Of Britain In
1910. But in America our atten-
ton has been centsred on the
bombers. The spectacular sue
cess of the Flying FortFesses
when they went into action
made the public more bomber
conscious.
There is still rivalry between the
fighters and the homhers, as there
