ROGER HAZEL TRIP (ContIfMi«d from Pag« 1) excessively, beyond our strength so that we despaired even of life; indeed, we had the sen tence of death within ourselves in order that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead.” The last part of the verse characterizes what we learn ed—we had to trust and rely on Christ to give the real vic tories of the trip. Our final record was 13-10-1 and we played before 75,000 people. We do not know how many people signed up for the Bible Study course yet, but we are anxious to hear. Our great est ministry was through per sonal contacts. The best Phili ppine team adopted us and we led three of their players to Christ. We had many talks with taxi drivers, hotel man agers, and restaurant workers. Everyone in the countries we visited were already familiar with the Venture for Victory because of the basketball teams in the past and as far as they were concerned, we were the New York Yankees. If they beat us, they considered they had beat the best the United States has to offer. I can honestly say. I regret ted leaving the Orient. I was really impressed with the child ren I met. Children everywhere seem so much the same. Peace and understanding is still pos sible today in the world. Thank you for your prayers and support. These two months have been the greatest in my life. I took many pictures which I would like to share with as many of you as possible.

LICENSE PLATE CARRIES MESSAGE South Carolina’s 1970 motor vehicle license plate will carry a message for the state’s Tri centennial Year. The forest green colored plate with white lettering, will have this line at the ttobom: “ 1670 300 years 1970” A Highway Department offi cial said the importance of the Tricentennial celebration to the state warranted an exception to the long established policy that South Carolina licenses would not carry any slogans or “advertising”. The license renewal period starts the day after Labor Day and all South Carolina vehicles must display the Tricentennial Year tag by November 1. Seat belts might have saved 35 percent of the 996 persons killed in highway collisions in this state last year. This is Fam ily Seat Belt Month; fasten up— to live. COURT SESSION (ContimMd from Pago 1) ity. James L. Braswell, Rt. 3,; Sharon A. Meyers, Prosperity; George W. Seybt Jr., Rt. 1, Po- maria, Jobe K. Floyd, Rt. 2, Prosperity. Academy exams to be given Senator Strom Thurmond has announced that he is accepting applications to stand entrance examinations for the United States Air Force, Merchant Marine, Military and Naval Academies. Applications are being accept ed for the classes entering dur ing the summer of 1970. Young men graduating from these academies receive B. S. degrees and are commissioned as officers upon graduation. Thurmond emphasized that to successfully compete in the en trance examinations for the aca demies it is almost always ne cessary that an applicant be in the upper third of his high school class. Also a score of at least 500 on verbal and 550 on mathematics on the College Board examinations, he said, is generally indicative that a per son will meet the criteria of the academies. In addition to academic qual ifications, a candidate for ad mission must meet the physi cal qualifications of the aca demy for which he is applying. It is also essential for an ap plicant to have qualities of leadership. Persons interested in apply ing should write a letter to Sen. Strom Thurmond, Senate Office Building, Washington, D. C., 20510. The letter should state which Academy the applicant is interested in attending. The South Carolina Highway Department says studies show that head injuries occur in 70 percent of all fatal crashes, mainly due to contact with the windshield and-or dash. This is Family Seat Belt Month.
