So John LeRoy of Spring-field, a U. 8.

civil service employe In the War Department, U. 8. Engineers, sent to the selectmen an application for a license which permit them to make the purchase. Purpose for which the dynamite was needed, according to the application, was to carry on work of the federal government in connection with the investigation of flood control dams. No mention was made of dams for power development.

The board in refusing the license considered a state law governing possession of explosives, purpose of which according to information appearing on the back of the application form is to prevent the use of high explosives in a manner detrimental to lives and property and against th. welfare of the and nation.

One member of the board alao suggested that since the dynamite was to be used in Dummerston, the federal Correspondent Tells of Sharing Trench on Rendova Clay Gowran, war correspondent of the Chicago Tribune, recently home after seeing some of the hardest fighting in the New Georgia area of the Southwest Pacific, tells an interesting story of an experience with Lt.

He commanded a force in the Initial landing on New Georgia which in-eluded major elements of the combat forces of the division, and he handled these forces in an excellent manner, I maneuvering two regiments of the division into position for the final attack and capture of the Munda airport, General Wing spent all daylight hours with his troops at the front, directing this action in a superior manner. Several times during this period he was given direct command of major combat echelons of the division for the accomplishment of specific missions directed towards the capture of the airport.

His presence at the front and the admirable judgment exhibited by him were in a large degree responsible for the capture of Munda. General Wings example was an inspiration to all officers and men of the cpmmand and his service during this action was characterized by unselfish devotion to duty. Home address: Rutland, Vermont.

In Nebraska, where liquor was plentiful a few months ago but now is on the hard-tofind list because, retailers say, residents of neighboring states drained the state, one storekeeper said bluntly: To people we dont know, we have no whiskey. The same situation was said to be true in New York City with under-the-counter sales widespread.

Some New York City dealers were voluntarily rationing liquor at one bottle per customer. In the city the demand was said to be four times that of 1942. Another customer complaint had to do with prices. In Texas whiskey was selling at $8 and $9 a pint in dry counties. In Oregon, bootleg liquors were said to be selling at $10 a quart.

The New England, states said that shortages were beginning to be felt. Vermont limits customers to a quart a week while Maine has instituted semi-rationing with one bottle allowed per day. By The Associated Press Americas drinking citizens were face to face today with an acute liquor shortage which appeared to be fast enveloping the entire country as the demand for whiskey in some places reached four times that of last year while supplies were down as much as 60 per cent. More than half the nations states reported that liquor was scarce and the situation progressively getting worse. Rationing, either by state control or voluntarily, now is in eff-fect in some 30 states.

Rations range from one bottle a day per customer to one a month. Officials looked to a bleak New Year as far as easing of present shortages is epneerned and there seemed little likelihood there would be enough whiskey to quench holiday thirsts. Scotch importers were said to be getting only 10 per cent of their normal supply while nationally advertised brands of rye and bourbon were reported hard to find.
