THE PASS WORD "WAR."

I'VE have got to reach the place
each one of us, where we define every
decision in our lives as an act of
war policy.
Everything that we do, plan, eat,
wear, must be analysed and measured
from one single point Of view-will it
contribute to the carrying on of the
war, or will it contribute to it's pro-
,ongation?
There is no other thing in the world
for us but to define everything in our
lives as acts of military necessity or
policy"-Dr. Alonzo Taylor.

HOW TO SECURE ROAD
BUILDING MATERIALS

The Maine Highway Commission
has received instructions from the
United States Highways Council as
terials-petroleum, asphalt or tar
products-for highway work.
The applicant must fill out a blank
giving his requirements and submit
it to the Highway Commission. II
disapproved. the applicant is noti-
fed: if approved. it Is simply for
warded to the Highways Council,
without notice to applicant. The
Highways Council will give it a
serial number and notify applicant of
its receipt If the Highways Council
favorably recommends to the Fuel
Administration. the latter issues a
permit. if the material is available
for the work, the original being sent
to the seller Of the material and a
copy to the purchaser and Highway
Commission. Producer and con-
sumner will then arrange for delivery.
To meet the enormous increase in
the demand for fuel oil due to war
activities. it has become necessary to
regulate the supply of petroleum,
asphalt and tar products for high
way work. They should therefore be
used only where they will be the
greatest benefit to the country as a
whole. Dust laying is considered the
least important of their uses during
this war. No hard and fast rules
can be applied to the policy govern
| ing their release for road purposes
Applications for materials to be used
directly in work for the federal gov
eminent will not require approval OF
any state highway department. but
must be approved by the Highways
| Council.
All violations of the order for the
sale OF these materials must be re-
ported to the Fuel Administration.
Requests for material for main
tenance by surface treatment and re-
pairs for a number of roads may be
included in a single applica ton, pro-
vided the quantities and classes OF
materials to be purchased from each
producer are shown where more than
one producer is concerned.

MAINE TEACHERS TO
HELP WIN THE WAR

State Superintendent of Schools A.
O. Thomas is sending a letter to all
union and city school superinten-
dents, suggesting that, owing to the
fact that Sept. II, the coming regis
tration day, will be busy one for
the local registration boards, the lat
ter being crowded beyond their
capacity, and that a demand will
arise for assistance when the ques-
tionnaires are to be filled out a few
| days later. they visit the legal ad-
vlsory boards and tender their own
and their teachers services wherever
and whenever needed.
Il would suggest that you organize
your teaching force to the best ad-
vantage. acquaint them with this
State wide request from this depart
ment and with the nature of this
patriotic service and that you re-
/ spond quickly when called upon by
registration boards, legal advisory
boards and local boards. You and
your teachers should become ac-
quainted with the material Of the
QUESTIONABLE through the co-opera
ton Of the local advisory board. A
committee Of teachers of each town
may be formed
If day should be set apart for
this sort Of work and there is need
of committees of teachers may 1 sug-
gest that you use it as a legal holiday
and adjourn your schools for the day
or the part of the day as may be re-
qnired. Request cooperation of
ri int -oI
Let me say in this connection that
teachers should not render bills for
such service; their pay will come
from the satisfaction Of having per-
formed some tangible act in helping
win the war. Let Provost Marshal
General Crowder and the proper au-
thorlties at Washington know that
the teachers of Maine are with them
in this supreme effort to win the
war"
