GOLF CLUBS MAY

Fuel Administrator Gar
field Says They Can Save
100000 Tons of Coal
LANSDOWNE ACTS FIRST
BY PETER PUTTER

The Country Club of Lansdowne at It's
monthly meeting of the board of COVER
nors. on December 10, decided to close
the locker house until the first of April.
This was due to the great difficulty in
getting coal and because it was felt that
money was wasted heating a property
which Is used very little. Along comes a
communication from H. 4. Garfield, the
fuel administrator. requesting Howard
w. Perrin, president of the United States
Golf Association, to put the problem up
to the golf clubs throughout the coun-
try Garfeld figures that If the golf
clubs will shut down their clubhouses
for the winter months the Government
will be able to divert at least 1000
tons of coal elsewhere.
SO far as Philadelphia Is concerned,
most of the clubs can close their locker
houses without greatly inconveniencing
the members. as the clubhouses and lock-
er houses are In most cases separate
buildings. Unless the winter is mild
thousands of tons of coal are thrown
away by the golf clubs, particularly on
the locker rooms. for hardly a player
uses the club during the week and the
only attendance Is on Saturdays and
Sundays. As there is ample opportunity
for the golfers to use the clubhouse to
dress In. no one is greatly inconvenienced
by closing the locker rooms.
The Aronimink Country Club has been
considering the advisability of shutting
down the entire clubhouse during the
winter months. and now that Mr.. Gar
