as cars were skidding all over the
highway. He had-just got off the
bus at the Duke stadium when he
bumped into the "Puff" Rices and
Barney Doherty. It was a great
game, Scott averred, and great hos
pitality, and he enjoyed getting to

like chickens with their heads cut
off when the Beavers came through.

A WEEK OF THE WAR
Continued from First Page
OPM Associate Director Hillman
announced almost 2,500,000 persons
have been enrolled for training for
war industry work since July 1,
1940. He asked vocational schools
to expand their courses to permit
use of all their facilities on a "round-the-clock"
basis. Some war con
tractors are planning to employ as
many new men in the next six mon
ths as they have in the last eighteen,
he said.
AUTOS AND TIRES
The OPM banned all sales of new
passenger automobiles and the SPAB

few weeks." The temporary ban 'on
the retail sale, delivery, purchase, or
lease of new passenger cars and of
new light and heavy trucks will re
main in effect until January 15, at
which time a permanent rationing
program will be put in effect.
i OPM delegated to the Office of
Price Administration authority to
withhold all new tires except for
essential health, safety and indus
trial services. OPA set up tire-rationing
boards in each county of the
nation and issued regulations pro
viding no tire can be obtained even
for "essential" users unless a local
board has approved the application
and the number of tires sold in each
county is within the county quota.
New tires were defined as those used
less than 1,000 miles. No new re
strictions were placed on the sale of
retreaded or recapped tires.
