Despite Every Effort, Supply Is
Far Below That Needed

Unless anthracite coal comes into
New Britain in greater quantities,
there is serious danger of a coal
shortage here this winter and Local
Fuel Administrator James :. North
has issued the following bulletin. adj
vising local people to prepare for the
winter by having their heating appli-
ances repaired to give the maximum
service, and also by having their
houses properly protected against the
wintry blasts:
Up to date anthracite coal has not
been coming into New Britain in
sufficient quantities to insure us
against a sh ortage this winter. Every
effort is being made to get coat here
and the last four weeks hstvts shown
a marked increase, butath enc IS still
great danger of repetition or the eN-
periences of last winter.c :,
The situation can be- very greatly
helped if every householder will look
to - now that his heating apparatus
is i'll good shape and capable of giving
out the greatest amount of heat for
the coal used. The house should be
looked over loose windows and doors,
etc, can be made light with weather
strips, or in exposed places, the in
BILE doors will insure warmth, and
corresponding saving in coal. A great
deal can be done in this way with
small expenditure of time and eX-
pense. Even where the expense seems
large it will be cheaper in the end, for
such improvements are good for all
time.
"a great many people can get along
comfortably through the winter. by
closing off one or more rooms, but
often this cannot be done unless prep
aration is made during the summer
In many cases provision has to be
made against the freezing of water
pipes. and if this is lift until the cold
weather sets in. it is difficult or i'm
possible to secure the necessary Ia
Dor.
considerable coal last year was
saved by heating isolated rooms With
! kerosene stoves. Such stoves should
! be bought now. Many people last
wear in some of the extreme weather
found that such stoves were snapped
up in q few moments, and they were
una BILE to buy them in their need.
'"Thesc are only Il few suggeShonS'
| the principal idea being that the time
| to prepare for cold weather is now.
