Gas Supply Cut;
Ration Cards
May Follow

The latest change in the gaso-
line situation is a further reduc-
ton of 5 percent in the quantity
that may be delivered to the sta
ton during September, Thomas B.
Kicker, manager of the service
station, announced last Saturday.
This follows 10 percent cut inn
posed during August.
The September quota is IS per-
cent of July deliveries. In August
it was 80 percent. This quota will
permit the station to receive 1880
gallons during the month.
I'm order to continue the sta
tons policy of supplying it's re-
gular patrons, it will be neces-
sary to limit sales to Greenbelt
motorists as was done during the
last week and a half of August"
Mr.. Kicker added.
Members of the cooperative who
reside out of town may also re-
ceive gasoline if they identify
themselves at the station and re-
ceive the small windshield
stickers.
The 10 percent reduction in gas
oline deliveries to service stations,
ordered last week by the Office Of
Price Administration and Civilian
Supply upon the recommendation
of Defense Petroleum Coordinator,
Harold L. Ickes, will affect Green
belt just like all other service sta
tons in the area.
What will follow this "interim
measure" no one knows, but some
Greenbelters have visions of FRA
tioning cards" permitting the pur-
chase of extremely small quanti-
ties of gasoline each week. Passen-
ger cars will have to bear the
brunt of this reduction because the
necessary quantities will be main
tanned for Essential uses"
The local service station has
ceased purchasing lubricating oil
in bulk, which is delivered in steel
drums, and now buys it's oil in cans
in order to affect saving for it's
patrons.
It was stated that charge Of
SIS is placed on every steel drum in
which Oh is delivered to tn, sta
ton. When the drum is returned,
a 81 credit is given the station if
il is not damaged. Thus, it costs
81 for the use of the drum, adding
to the cost of the oil received
therein.
THIS cost must be assumed
either by the purchaser of oil or
by the station. 1t is reflected in
the net savings of the service sta
ton, If the latter method of alb
scrbing this cost is used. So the
patrons ray it in either case, it
was stated, because the latter
method reduces the patronage re-
fund.
When steel drums were plenti-
full, they were allowed to pile up
in quantities before being collected
and cleaned. This practice spread
the cost over a large number of
drums, thereby reducing to min
imprn the handling and cleaning
cost per drum. Now, however,
they are scarce and are IN con-
slant demand because of the use
of steel for defense work.

fesSed, as other participants ex-
planned lunar illumination by re-
minding that the familiar household

A juvenile forum member also

than shadings produced by various
craters, because can see his face"
Guided by their teacher, Miss Sara
Moore, the pupils also brought out
why the moon is called a satellite
and used the Illustration of a wheel
hub and rim to make clear the
cause of the moons changing ap-
pearance each month.
The children registered surprise
when Miss Moore told them that
astronomers do not consider the

moon" phase, but term it crescent
moon"
