A probability that not more than
five gallons of gasoline a week will
be available to the average pass
enger car driver in the East this
winter was foreseen this week by
statistical experts in the oil in
dustry.
Commenting on suggestion that
Eastern motorists should be limited
to is gallons of gasoline each
week to prevent the gasoline short
age which now is threatening the
Atlantic Seaboard, one executive
asserted:
THAT limit wouldn't do any good.
The average consumption in this
section of the country was Is gal
Ions per car each week last year.
There isn't going to be that much
gas around this winter"

Driven Recklessly.

Vernon Il. Magee, 23 years old,
Frankford, driver of poultry truck
which figured in a collision result
ing in the death of two men on
July "a, was exonerated of blame by
a jury summoned by Coroner Will

ternoon.
Nelson Dyer, So, and Walter
Sharp, 62, both of Milford Neck,
were the men killed. They were
in the second truck in the collision.
Magee did not testify, but John
Scheers, an eyewitness, said that as
the truck in which the two men
were riding passed him at the inter-
section of the Bay and Little Creek
roads just before the crash their
machine was proceeding on the
wrong side of Bay road. He added
that it was foggy at the time.

New State CCC Policy
Will Begin Shortly
Youth Between Ages OF IL And
231s Years To Be Accepted

The new policy recently adopted
by the Civilian Conservation Corps
of accepting unemployed youth be-
tween the ages of II and 231s years,
is expected to become effective in
Delaware. some time this month,
Kentworth H. Deverell, state CCC
supervisor of selection, said today.
Mr.. Deverell pointed out that the
CCC would employ the facilities of
the state employment service to the
extent of referring potential appli-
cations. He said that the War De-
partment authorities will confer
with the CCC to formulate plans for
the individual states.
The policy was announced re-
Gently by the headquarters of the
Second Corps Area of the CCC,
comprising New York, New Jersey
and Delaware, to aid the national
defense program. This plan sup
plants the previous policy when
enrollments were conducted only
at stated periods. An increased en-
rollment is expected under the new
policy, Mr.. Deverell said.
Unemployed youths between the
designated age limits may enroll
various state welfare agen-
cies or at any CCC camp direct,
although no definite instructions
for enrolment have been received
in Delaware. Applications in the
state. however, are being received
laily.
