Dare County Veterans Service
Officer I. P. Davis reported this
week that $33O,86O.18 had been
paid to Dare county veterans,
their widows, the dependent par
ents and children of veterans in
the period of the last fifteen
years. The sum does not include
veterans insurance claims, fam
lily allowances or subsistence pay
for veterans under the CT Bill
of Rights, Mr.. Davis emphasized.
There are now approximately
1900 Veterans of World Wars I
and II in Dare county, the service
officer said. They are receiving
around $1,000 per month in gov
eminent payments of various
kinds.
The North Carolina Veterans
Commission has reported that
Dare county is one of the very
Understanding counties in the
state in the proportion of bene-
fits received to the number of res
ident veterans.
CT Training Facts
Although it is not generally be-
lieved to be of great Importance
in this county, a study of some
of the facts regarding on-the-job-
training for ex-GIs in Dare coun-
ty will show that the training has
been, and is now, of very great
significance here. Mr.. Davis says
that since July 1913 an average
of so business places in this
county have been certified to train
ex-GIs for various kinds of work.
The average number of veterans
in training here during that per-
iod has been 80, or ~ per GER
titled Observation-Disclosures. The
average subsistence wage paid by
the Government to these men dur
ing the period mentioned has been
$50 per month. Thus, for the past
two and a half years, to the pres
ent time, $4,000 per month has
been received by veterans in the
county under this phase Of onv-
eminent assistance to veterans
alone.
This has meant a year-rOund
supplement to incomes of Dare
cOuntians of $15,5OO every
month for all kinds of veterans
aid. This means that a total of
$1S6,OOO per year is being dis
bursed in Dare county every
year for veterans and their de-
pendents in all forms of veter-
ans-aid funds. Service Officer
Davis points out.
The variety of on-the- job-train-
ing contracts entered into here
would be surprising to many peo-
pie as the money sent into the
county by the program. A few
of the many kinds of training
which has been arranged for
through the Service Officers of
fee are these: automobile mechan-
les training, training for service
station and filling station opera
ton (the major types of training
entered into by veterans in Dare),
petroleum and oil distribution, ho-
tel clerks training, hotel chefs
training, bank training, wholesale
and retail grocery and general
merchandise operations.

SEASON. CAdA1 1A "a,
a game with Catholic University,
opening the program at 8 o'clock.
On paper it adds up to real par
gain bill with action guaranteed.
Red Auerbach, former Washing
ton Caps manager, is bringing a
Boston team to town that rates
high in preseason form. The
Celtics seem to have just the right
mixture of experience and youth
to carry them through a tough
campaign, with much OF the SaVvy
being supplied by three former
Caps, Bones Mckinney. Johnny
Mahnken and Cleggie Hermsen.
Matching strategy with Auer-
bach will be Freddie Scolari,
former Caps star, who believes
the Bullets will be real title threats
this season. The championship
doesn't hinge on the outcome OF
the game but it should be a gooo
indication of which way the vino
Is blowing.
The American-Catholic game
doesn't count in conference stand
ings. but the Eagles are defending
champions and this one, too. will
help determine what chance Staff
CasselIs crew has of keeping the
crown. Catholic hasn't beaten its
neighboring rival in several years
but the Cards have an idea this
may be their night.
Proceeds from the game go 70

Wilson Teachers Bow
To Late RaIIy,!21

Failure to convert after a last
quarter touchdown resulted In a
2l-20 defeat for Wilson Teachers
College by the Apprentice School
at Newport News last night.
The Washington team had
broken a 14-14 tie with a final
quarter score by Janigan, but
Hopkins missed with his kick.
Then the Apprentices caught fire
In the last minute and took the
game with Bob Lincoln, their
quarterback, hitting the mark with
passes.
The Apprentices scored in the
flrst and second periods, but Will
son drew even in the third on
scores by Busby and McCauley
and Hopkins kicks and went
ahead early in the fourth.
Then Lincoln, who had passed
to the first two Apprentice touch
downs, began drive with a So
yard completion and got a tying
touchdown with a 16-yard heave
to Bart Conlon in the end zone
Seward then sent Wilson to defeat
with his third conversion.
The loss left Wilson Teachers
with a 2-2-1 season record.

The Washington Lions injury
riddled squad will have some
unexpected help when it meets
the Jets in Johnstown, Pa, to-
morrow afternoon.
Center Sonny Townsley un-
doubtedly will see a good bit of
action and Jack Riley, Lions
coach, didn't even know Sonny
was within $50 miles of Washing
ton until he walked into the dress
ing room Wednesday.
Townsley looked good in train
ing but when the team showed off
for Washington, Sonny wasn't
sure he wanted to come. He told
Riley he'd better ask his wife if
she would like to move to the
District.
The Lions came to Washington
and Townsley went back to To-
ronto. The next day Riley got a
telegram from Sonny that his
wife had given her approval but
by this time the coach had de-
termined his lineup and wanted
to try it out.
Got Tired of Waiting.
He didn't call for Townsley, but
after two straight setbacks Riley
was thinking of sending for the
rugged center. Sonny saved him
the trouble by showing up at
Wednesdays workouts.
How did you get here?" Riley
asked.

Mistake by Judges
AT Jamaica Boosts
Cancer Fund $4,000
BY the Assoeiofed Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-The
Damon Runyon Cancer Fund is
some $4,000 richer today because
judges at the Jamaica race track
erred.
Here's what happened:
The judges placed Swing Cheer.
Sac Paulo and Air Service one
two-three in the third race yester-
day when it should have been
Swing Cheer, Air Service and Sac
Paulo.
Before the mistake was discov-
cred the payoffs had been nearly
completed with holders of a place
ticket on Sac Paulo receiving $50
for 50.
The track then announced it
would pay off on Air Service to
place. A So ticket was worth
$10.10. Meantime many who bet
on Air Service to place had de-
stroyed their tickets.
The track estimated that ap-
proximately $4,000 worth of un-
destroyed tickets might be pre-
sented. The proper payoff on Air
Service to place would have been
$15,655.
The difference, the track said,
would be turned over to the cancer
fund.

u. 5. Faces Stiff Fiqht
For Challenge Trophy
In Horse Show Finale
BY the Associated Press

HARRISBURG, Pa, Oct. 81
The United States receives one of
the Pennsylvania National Horse
Shows two highest awards to-
night. but faces stiff competition
in its attempt for the other trophy.
The new United States team will
be presented with the Presidents
Trophy-symbolic of low-score su-
premacy in international jumping
just before it competes for the
international challenge trophy at
the week-long shows finale.
The Americans clinched the low
score competition yesterday for
the second straight year as they
won the third and final event of
the three-day competition. The
United States had an aggregate
score of 2412 faults for the three
events to runner-up Canada's SO
and Ireland's 4l12.
Brazil had a total of 1914 while
Mexico withdrew after collecting
81 faults in the first two jumps.
Tonight's final jump for the
challenge trophy is considered al
most equal in value to the .ow-
score title. The course consists of
10 f1ve-foot hurdles-one of the
toughest layouts of indoor jump
ing.
Mexico has won two Of the three
previous challenge trophy jumps
in previous years with Ireland
taking the third.
Last night Resorte II, a green
Mexican chestnut gelding. atoned
for costing his team the low score
championship when he won the
individual open jumping" event
with Capt. Victor Garlic.
The 5-year-old mount, schooled
only since last June, twice cir
cled the 10-jump course-once
with the barriers raised to win
a three-way jump-off in 4025
seconds.
Resorte II won the event on
time from Loverain, ridden by
Alvaro de Toledo of Brazil with
a time of ATS seconds, and Cor
doves. ridden by Col. Humberto
Marbles. also of Mexico. Loverain
and Cordoves also had faultless
performances on the jump-off.
Last Monday night Resorte II
twice threw Carrillo in banking
at a high cross-bar hurdle. He
was disqualified when he refused
third time and penalized 68
faults. That gave the Mexicans
an insurmountable handicap in
the three-day low-score competi-
ton from the very start.
