concern by the demand for fuel. Coal
dealers have been able to supply the
demands, but those dealing in wood
have been compelled to ration their
supply in order that all may have
warmth. Roy Carey, Milton dealer,
has had several men and trucks EN- !,
ployed daily chOpping trees from the
forests near town and dragging it
TO his wood yard in North Milton,
where it was cut into the desired
length and delivered to patrons. 1t (:
