Merchants Enjoyed
Big Xmas Business
RatiOning, Material Scarcity Cut
Down Many Lines, However

Milford has enjoyed one of the
best, if not the best, Christmas sea-
sons. Not in recent years have the
stores in this community enjoyed
such volume. Every merchant in
terviewed stated that the 1941 fig
ure was surpassed at the close of
business last Saturday.
According to Milford Postmaster
John Mayhem, the local Office hand
led the largest amount of mail, both
incoming and outgoing in the his
tory of the office and according to
postal officials every effort was
made to have all gifts delivered that
were received here up until Christ
mas Eve.
Baskets of food and articles of
clothing for the needy families
throughout the city were distribut-
ed by the various community well
fare organizations, and the kiddies
were we'll taken care of with toys,
fruit, candies, ETC., and as far as
can be ascertained none of the less
fortunate were neglected.
While illuminated decorations
we're out, the Story Book House in
Plaza Square with old Saint Nick in
attracted hundreds of
kiddies and helped to give the
shopping center a festive air.
The house, Santa and the candy
given away by the jolly Saint, were
made possible through the efforts

Fine Program At High
School On Wednesday
George A. Peck Directed
Music Department In
Novel Play

A fine Christmas program was
given at the high school on We'd
nesday afternoon at one o'clock,
when a play entitled why the
Chimes Rang" was given by mem
bers of the music department un-
der the direction of George A.
Peck, director of music. This was
the religious service for the school,
a precedent of several years and
enjoyed by the pupils and their
families. The play in three acts
carried the story of the great sac
rifice of a small boy whose gift
made the long-stilled chimes ring
again. The final scene was in the
with appropriate decora-
tions, where the singing of many
of the carols took place. Much prep
aration goes into these programs,
the planning and the executing, but
there is always the satisfaction of
things we'll done, and everyone was
grateful to Mr.. Peck and those who
took part in this seasonal service.

Gas Ban Ended.
AS Units Are.
Cut One Gallon
Session Called By De-
tense To Iron Prob
lens In Price Fixing
Agency.

The 60-hour ban on gasoline
sales to 100000 private motor
lists in the II Eastern states ended
at midnight Sunday, with a re-
vamping of both the gas and fuel
oil rationing systems due to get
underway this week.
Price Chief Leon Henderson au-
thorized filling stations to resume
sales at 1901 a. m. Monday, but
reduced the value of "B" and &C"
ration coupons from four to three
gallons. The value of the basic "A"
coupon was left Unexpectedly at
three gallons.
Sterilization Director James F.
Byrnes meanwhile arranged to meet
at the White House on Monday with
Henderson, Petroleum Coordinator
Harold L. Ickes and Joseph B.
Eastman, Defense Transportation
Director, to lay groundwork for ov-
erhauling the rationing structure.
Normal Consumption Cut
Henderson said rationing has cut
gasoline consumption in the II cas-
tern states to 55 per cent of normal,
and the daily consumption goal for
the area in January, 1943, is 331 900
barrels. Regulations taking effect
after midnight Sunday were ex-
pected to save $4,000 barrels daily,
he said, but frightened controls
must conserve still another 5000
barrels a day if the goal is to be
attained.
The OPA chief outlined an eight
point conservation program, includ-
ing stricter rationing enforcement,
suspension of dealers and with
drawal of rationing books from con-
sumers violating rationing regula-
tions, new OPA controls over re-
finers' and importers inventories,
tighter control of bulk gasoline de-
liveries, a plea for military author
tiles to use greater care in operat-
ing passenger automobiles and a
request to report black market |

Tomato Program
In Kent County
Canneries, Growers, Cooperating
To Secure Necessary Records


In an effort to determine those
factors which influence profit or
loss in the growing of tomatoes in
Kent county, plans were made last
spring by County Agent Russell E.
Wilson in cooperation with the
canning factories of Libby, McNeill
and Libby at Wyoming and Hous-
ton, and w. L. Wheatley at Clayton
to secure cost of production and
crop management records from AZ
farms in these sections of the coun-
ty.
Assistance in obtaining these rec
ords was given this past year by
E. P. Brasher, extension specialist
in truck crops, University of Del
aware; w. l. Boyd and R. L. Jump,
fieldmen for the Wyoming and
Houston plants, respectively, of
Libby, McNeill and Libby, and H. R.
Beck, f1eldman for the cannery of
w. L. Wheatley. These farms were
visited last spring to secure pre-
liminary field data in regard to fer
preparation of the
ground, date of setting the plants,
and other information relative to
cultural practices.
This is the fifth consecutive year
in which this tomato management
project has been included in the
Kent county program of work.
