Gas Stations
Thinning Out
As Profits Fade
Curbs on Accessories,
Large Margin Lines.
Worse Than Rationins


The gasoline stations are thin
ming out.
Many Of them never were very
profitable. With the tire short
age, and gasoline rationing In Tho
East and the Pacific Northwest,
they are closing down fast now.
This doesn't mean motorists viii
have to search out some one TO
sell them gasoline. It does mean
that the time may come when II
viii lbe a good idea to kepe a wary
eye on the automobiles gas
gauge.
Thousands OF stations have
closed in recent months and the
trend, obviously. is just getting
under way. Nationwide figures
aren't available. However. In the
Chicago area. where there Is
lplenty OF gasoline. more than $50
stations closed between January 1
and March IS. About 10 per cent
of all retail filling stations in and
around Toledo have shut down
since December z. Ohio. too. Is

RETAILERS POSITION
Here Is the serve station oper-
ator's position, one perhaps pro-
phetic for q great many other re-
tailers whose stocks in trade arc

The gasoline station proprietor
has lost his big profit lines-tires.

other accessories TO priorities.
Overhead remains practically the
same.
He is left. essentially. with the
gasoline and lubricating oil BUSH

to sell, these will not furnish q
living anywhere near pre-war
levels.

have found that nearby war plants
will pay them two TO three times
what they could make from their
depleted businesses. They are

INTO REPAIR WORK
Some stations are more fortu-
nate. however. They are doing
repair work and since new cars
are not available, some additional.

this business. Most. however. are

were rendered in the hope that
customers would buy tires, tubes.

them their gas and oil business.
To remain in business, the aver
age service station will have to get
bigger profit margin on gasoline.
10000 OUTLETS
Just before Pearl Harbor, there
were more than 100000 retail out

In The Local IheGteYS
STATE

It isn't often that . picture as gay and witty as Take a Letter Darling" co-starring Rosalind Rus sell and Fred MacMurray, is brought to the screen, but the air conditioned State theater proved today that such picture was pos sible.
 Here is smart comedy, played superbly by two grand stars. It is a highly amusing romance of big business woman and her he-man secretary.
 Reversing the conventional ofiice set-up, 1t is Rosalind Russell who's boss, not MacMurray. She hir|l him as her secretary, but not for his shorthand and typing skill.
 Ills bewilderment when Miss Rus sell asks him if he can dance, if he can wear tails well. if he has any female attachments, is really funny to watch. Personally he'd rather be rid of the whole thing, especially when he learns he is expected to escort Miss Russell here and there and help her land accounts by be- ing nice to suspicious wives. But he needs the job.
 It isn't long before MacMurray tired of taking Rosalind's orders begins to give them, and then there is fun-to-pay in earnest.
 Making his screen debut as Mac Murray's rival for Rosalind's af- factions is Macdonald Carey, one of the newer, handsome leading men recruited from Broadway whose work opposite Gertrude Law renee in Lady in the Dark" won him great acclaim.
 There are swell performances by Robert Benchley, Constance Moore and Cecil Kellaway. Benchley as Rosalind's partner, is said to be funnier than ever. Leaving all the work in her capable hands. he spends his time playing with all kinds of games and gadgets.
 All in all, "Take Letter Darling is vastly entertaining film fare. It bubbles with good humor and gayety and is definitely one of the not-to- be-missed hits of the current movie season.
 And for your further enjoyment the management presents T Was Framed" an exciting gangland thriller with Julie Bishop and Mi chael Ames in featured roles.

STRAND

The Strand Theater opened today with holdover from Polls of Mrs. Miniver," the film classic which has been nationally acclaimed by the press and public alike, as one of the ten best of all time. Starring Greer Carson and Walter Pidgeon, Mrs. Miniver" Is timely and significant story of high courage, devotion and abiding faith. It Is the story of the English woman of the middle class es and her family, facing the terrors of war on the home front and car- rying on life with valor in the face of air raids, attacks, grief and peril i The story is laid in an English vil- lage. Miss Carson and Pidgeon are husband and wife, with son in college. He joins the R. A. F. Pigeon with older men help at the rescue at Dunkirk. There are raid alarms, touching human episodes, finally raid that wrecks the vil- lagc, but the villagers, in their wrecked church, listen to the words of their vicar, and continue to car " on with faith in the future. Miss Carson has a role that is inspiring and poignant, and Pidgeon typifies the sturdy spirit of the average Britisher. The story points out the grwoth of a democratic spirit under war trials. The young romance Is in the hands of Teresa Wright, who Is beautiful as well as clever actress and Richard Ney. Village characters are portrayed by Reginald Owen, Henry Travers and Christopher Severn, and Dame May Whitty is a dominant figure as the noblewoman who sees the power of democracy through the struggle. Henry Wilcox son plays the role of vicar. Here is a picture which broke all records at the Radio City Music Hall in New York. You'll understand why when you see 1t. Extra added treats are the selected short subjects which in- clude "The Bowling Alley Cat" a cartoon, and "Barbee- Cues" Pete Smith short.
 Starting Wednesday night, Aug ust 18th, and every Wednesday night thereafter for three weeks. the Strand will present on It's stage, a giant bathing beauty contest with $500 in prizes and the title of Miss Waterbury of 1922" at stake. Regis ter now.

a projected plan to force some
500 Negro treasury employees to
suffer Jim Crow travel and hous-
ing accommodation when the De-
partment's Division OF Loans and
Currency moves to Chicago June
Is, has been completely abandoned.
Direct action on the part Of the

ca, CLIO: the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People and the National Negro
Congress was responsible for
scotching the plan before it had a
chance to 90 into effect.
Representative Of the union and
the two national organizations held
lengthy conversations with Bell,
pointing out that the proposed seq
regation policy was a direct viola
ton of President Roosevelts Exc
cutive Order 1902 and calculated
to disrupt national unity and the
working relationship between the
400 Negro and white employees
involved in the transfer.
