Handling gas valves in homes is
really a job for trained men and
scores of people are now being
given the necessary training. How
ever, there are some things that
you can and should do.
These are official suggestions
from the ONCE of Civilian De-
fense superseding previous in
struttions to shut of gas stoves,
and furnaces and gas appliances
on both. The changed instructions
resulted from conferences with
nationally known gas experts and
were based on the difference be-
tween gas appliances in England
and the United States.
When you hear the air raid
warning, make no attempt to shut
of the main gas supply in your
home. Simply turn off any stove
burners that might be burning.
Don't blow out the pilot light.
If your house should be badly
damaged, the main gas valve
should be shut off. This valve Is
located above the gas meter on
the left-hand or inlet pipe.
When open, the inlet cock, or
main gas valve, is parallel with
the inlet pipe. When closed, the
cock is at right angles to the pipe.
Some of these cocks can be
opened and closed by hand. Most
Of them, however, requires q me-
dium dsed monkey Or Stillson

The two men will replace Albert
Henderson and Thomas Morning
star respectively. who have re-
signed. Mr.. Fisher will be assigned
to guard the Sandy Spring High
School.
The commissioners also approved
two parking ordinances which had
previously been adopted by the Citi-
zens' Committee of Martins Addi-
ton to Chevy Chase.
Parking Prohibitions.
One Of the measures prohibits
parking at any time on the north
and south sides of Taylor street,
the north side of Turner street, the
south side of Thornapple street and
the west side of North Central ave-
nue. for a distance of rs feet from
Brookeville road.
A. A. Moxley, county inspector OF

between September IS and Decem-
ber Is, his Office had inspected a
total Of 511 measuring pumps. OF
this number, 49l were found correct
13 produced more than the correct
figure and seven gave short meas
ure.
A total Of 400 scales we're in
spected, of which 460 were correct
five gave more than the correct
figure and four gave short measure
the report stated. In addition, three
pairs of spring scales and two pairs

demned.

In turning the inlet cock off, do
it slowly and only if the house
is badly damaged. If you can't
turn it off ourself, call plumber,
a fireman, the gas company or
your air raid warden.
Once the main valve Is turned
of for any reason, don't turn 1t
on again yourself. BY cutting oil
the supply of gas, pilot lights on
your gas appliances have been
extinguished. Relighting these
should be done by some one who
has been trained for this work.
If your house has been dam
aged sufficiently to require turn
ing of your gas, there will GER
tainly be trained men called to
your neighborhood. Summon one
of them to assist you.
When your air raid warden
visits you, be sure to show him
where the gas inlet is located in
your basement.
And don't worry about explo-
sions. Although bombs have
pierced many gas holders in
England. causing loss of gas, they
have not caused explosions. Also,
the gas industry has worked out
methods for stopping the flow of
gas hastily where mains have
been damaged and repairing
breaks with equipment especially
designed for rapid installation.

-Four Emergency
Defense Measures
Advisory Unit Urges
Restroint to Avoid
Rush Of Legislation
By the Associated Press.


RICHMOND, Va. Dec. 24.-The
Virginia Advisory Legislative Coun-
Gil said in a report released today
that it was definitely of the opinion
that the General Assembly should
be careful to avoid frantic rush to
enact all proposals for legislation
labeled with the word defense"
The Federal Government has the
power and means to deal with most
Of the problems incident to the war,
it was pointed out. and insofar as
this is true "the State should stand
aside"
Four Bills Backed.
The comment was contained in
recommendation submitted to Gov.
Price for the enactment Of four
bills, all carrying emergency clauses,
providing for:
l. Establishment of the Virginia
Defense Council and regional coun-
cils on a statutory basis.
2. Regulation of the manufacture,
sale. possession and use Of explo-
siveS. ,ss-
8. Prevention of sabotage and
conspiracies for the commission Of
sabotage.
4. Authority for the military
forces of Virginia to continue close
pursuit of insurrectionists and
saboteurs across the borders into
other States and providing recipro-
cal authority for the forces Of other
states under certain circumstances.
"Inasmuch as actual war has
come to us since the Committee on
Defense Legislation completed its
work there are probably other essen
tial measures which doubtless will
be offered and enacted" the coun-
Gil said.
The defense legislation study was
made by a committee composed Of
Senator Charles w. Crowder of
Richmond, chairman: Brig. Gen.
James A. Anderson, State highway
commissioner and formerly co-or-
dinator OF the State Defense Coun-
Gil; Col Robert T. Barton, jr, chair
man of the Richmond-Petersburg-
Hopewell regional defense council;
Maj. Raymond B. Bottom, chairman
of the Hampton Roads Council; c..
O'Conor Gollrick. chairman of the
Fredericksburg Regional Council;
Morton L. Wallerstein, member Of
the State Defense Council, and j.
H. Wyse. assistant co-ordinator Of
the State Council.
Their report was approved by the
council, with some notifications,
and transmitted by authority Of
the chairman, Delegate John B.
