While the OPA driving ban was lifted at the same time, a Washington announcement stated that military and industrial needs, plus a program to insure adequate home heating in the Eastern area next Winter, merit first consideration. The reason why there has been a shortage of petroleum and gasoline along the Atlantic Coast for almost a year is not because of a shortage of production of petroleum or any lack of processing facilities, but because of transportation difficulties.

The route to North Africa from the eastern seaboard is shorter and less dangerous than from the Gulf ports. In fact, Eastern ports are 2,000 miles hearer the North African battle fronts than the oil ports of Texas. Up to a month ago 614 Allied and nected with aviation, conducts the pre-flight class.

For the present the board will issue two books for the maximum mileage (360 miles a month), and will tailor the books for the lesser mileages.

Rationing officials said that a new type book containing thirty-two coupons would soon be made available for the boards, and would eliminate the necessity for issuing two sixteen-coupon books.

Under the meat-fat-cheese rationing and price regulations each retailer is required to post both an Official list of point values per pound, and of prices per pound. Dealers will be able to get the official point charts at postoffices, and the price lists at rationing boards this week. To prepare housewives for the new Cieat-fat-cheese rationing program which gets under way next Monday (March 29) State OPA Director Ker-ney's office issued the following list of pointers: One Beginning March 29 consumers will use the red stamps in War Ration Book Two to purchase meat, fats including butter, and cheese.

Two Each consumer will use sixteen points a week to purchase any of the rationed meats, fats and cheeses. During the first week the red stamps may be used (beginning March 29). On April 4 the red stamps become valid; on April 11, the red stamps become valid: on April 18 the red 'D'' stamps can be used. All expire on April 30. On April 25 the red stamps can be used, and the expiration date for these will be announced later.

The reason for this arrangement Is to limit consumption to sixteen points a week per consumer, to keep pace with the rate of distribution of these perishable foods. Three Dealers are permitted to make change in the red stamps. Only one-point red stamps can be used to make change. For example: if your meat purchase comes to seventeen points, and your available stamps total eighteen points, the dealer must give you a one-point Btamp in change. If your stamps total twenty points, he must give you three one-point stamps in change.

Partridge, recreation commit-I tee, defense council, 3 P. April 2, The North Jersey District Water Supply Commission, of which Montclair is a member, has joined the Passaic Valley Water Commission and the State League of Municipalities in opposing the proposed legislation of Senator Scott of Cape May to create a State water authority. Spokesmen for the groups have contended that the creation of such a body would be a violation of home rule and would lead to imposition of exorbitant water rates, against which the public would have no redress. A statement from the League of Municipalities contended that passage of the bills would revolutionize the water supply system in New Jersey. For years, the statement said municipalities have been urged to develop their own water supply systems and the bill would just reverse the procedure.

Senator Scott declared that establishment of the State authority would increase efficiency and reduce the danger of water shortages.

It's possible you may see this train as it makes its historic run and not recognize it. For, in war or peace, all trains look very much alike and operate very much alike.

We railroad men like to think of them not so much as war trains or peace trains, but as swift, sure means of transportation serving the people all of the time. We like to think of them as bringing fresh eggs from the farm to kids in big cities, coal from the hills to the mills in the valleys, and pretty dresses from Fifth Avenue to women in Kansas as well as guns and ammunition to men fighting on foreign fields.
