Durant Football Team
Plays BeIzoni Friday

The Durant football squad has
been working hard this week to de-
velop an offense to use against Bel
zoni in the game there Friday night
at 1880 o'clock.
Lose First Come
The locals lost their first game of
the season 60 to Sails at the Hol-
mes Jr. College stadium last Thurs
day night. Durant's offense didn't
click. In addition the backfield was
inexperienced and THE line was out
weighed fifteen pounds to the man.
The boys hope to iron out the kinks
and make a good showing against
the big Belzoni team.
Schedule Listed
Durant plays McAdams here
Thursday afternoon, Oct. 18th. This
game may be changed later to HJC
stadium. Watch for announcement
next week.
There are still three open dates on
Durant's schedule: Oct. 10th, Nov. 2

Other dates scheduled are Tchula,
Oct. Goth; Tchula, Nov. 9th; and

Senior High School during the day

NAL affairs; rather they r spiced

with human interest stories. He
entertains while he instructs and in.
spires. The night messages are
heart warming, especially for par.
ents and grown-ups. Youth also in
vited.

No Financial Guarantee
No financial guarantee is required
for this campaign. The school makes
such contributions as it can and in
its own way. No high pressure for
money, Plate collections are taken
after each night address. Also, no
high pressure. Too much emphasis
for money hurts such work. The
campaign is put on its merits
AS people see results they will con-
tribute as they are interested and
as they are able.
DR., Dutton has been doing this
work for more than 20 years. In
Mississippi he has conducted SIM
liar campaigns in Ripley, New Al
bany, Bruce, Tupelo, Aberdeen
Louisville, Alderman, Holly Springs,
etc.
All real Americans in spirit are
asked to attend and pass the an
nouncement along. This should be
a ever-to-be-forgotten week. The
results will be felt for life-times.

Early Morning
Blaze
Destroys Garage

Fire, originating from an over
heated oil stove, destroyed the White
Front Garage, an old landmark at
the northwest corner Of Grand ave-
nue. and Walnut street, shortly after
$50 am, Monday.
Seventeen cars were in the build
ing at the time of the fire and four
we're completely wrecked.
Among motorists who had cars in
the building were James " Robins,
j. NJ Munguia, Fortunate Mazon,
Simon Paez, and Leonilo Larriva.
There was also a Navy car and four
belonging to the u. S. Customs Ser
vice.
r. r. (Chapo) Hernandez, owner
of the garage, saved two of his six
cars, five of which were operated by
his III Taxi Service, and the other
a tow car The only two he saved
were out on calls at the time the
blaze broke out and were the only
Hernandez cars insured.
The garage building was erected
in 1903 by the late Al Peck, and in
the early days was occupied by
Peck's Livery Stables. Mr. Herman
dez, who came here from Spain
early in youth, has owned the gar
age for about IA years and prior to
that was employed at the garage by
Arthur Peck for II or IL years.
Temporary quarters for the Ill
Taxi have been opened at the first
door north of the garage building.

300 REGISTRANTS TO NOON
YESTERDAY FOR MUNICIPAL
ELECTION HERE ON APRIL ;
More Interest In Coming Election Than Any Time
Since Bettwy Cheshire Contest s Years
Ago; 1900 Voted In 1885

and if you wish to vote you must
register. Furthermore, it is your
duty as an American citizen to vote
in all elections-city, as we'll as
county, state and national.
Under the city charter it is nee
essary to register every two years
at the city hall for municipal cleo
tions. Such registration has no
connection with that for other elec-
tions.
Any qualified elector can register
and vote in Nogales city election
|if they have resided in the State of
Arizona for one year and in the cor
porate limits of the City of Nogales
90 days.
This is the first time since the
race for mayor between G. G. Che
shire and Andrew Bettwy in
1887 that much interest has
been manifested in local munich
pal election. Mayor Louis Hudgin,
who is slated to be candidate for
a fourth term, was elected in 1889,
1941 and 1943 without opposition
except in '39 when the late V. r.
Lamia was candidate
Just how high the registration
total will go is anybody's guess. Two
wears apo 01ly IS persons voted but
in 1885 when Andrew Bettwy first
ran for mayor and defeated j. E.
Wise by about As votes, approx
mately 1700 voted, according to City
Clerk Alex Durazo. That was about
80 percent of the total registration
in 1895.

A letter received this week by
Mr.. and Mrs. Louis E. Diehl from
their son, Louis E. Diehl, Jr, and
dated Feb. 18th, told of Staff Sgt.
Moses S. Valdez, of Nogales, arriv-
ing recently to be sergeant in young
Diehls outfit. They are with the
7th, the Cactus Division and
according to Diehl, on the day he
wrote the letter he had been on the
firing line on the western front in
Europe 100 consecutive days. He
said he was about due for a rest
and that he now has two stars on
his campaign ribbon.
Dieh1 enclosed a copy of the di-
Visions paper, the Cactus, telling
of a recent engagement. 1t said,
in part:
1T took just few minutes the
other night for a patrol from the
103d Infantry Division Reconnais-
sance Troop to give some super
krauts lasting lesson in the art
of getting tough.
Target for the Recon Troops
operation was a house being used
by the heinies as an outpost in the
outskirts of a town on the snow
covered AlSatian Front inside
the house, six krauts trying to es-
cape out the back door were killed
by An enemy machine gun in
the railroad station was silenced
and two Germans running from the
house were cut down by machine
guns manned by S/Sgt. Donald G..
Merboth, Pfc. Louis E. Diehl and
Sgt. Edward l.. Troffer.
Final score: Eighteen dead or
wounded Germans, one prisoner
one wounded American"
