Plan Dusk -To-Dawn
Blackout For Aug. A
tuunt,nu.a nom ~ rar.,

According to Mayor Evans, traf-
nc will move cautiously at fifteen
miles an hour with parking lights
complete, and street lights will not
be turned on except during the
two complete blackout periods
which will be held between the
eleven and one o'clock. These com
plete blackout periods will last for
As minutes each, and during that
time every rule observed during a
blackout will be in force. Then traf-
fic will not even be allowed to
travel with parking lights; persons
will be asked to leave the streets,
and all Civilian Defense units will
swing into action.
1t has been decided by the office
of Civilian Defense here to use
members of the auxiliary police
each Saturday night to assist in
directing traffic and other police
routine. Each chief sector warden
will furnish one man a week. These
eight men, on duty for one hour,
will be equipped with badges and
revoivers.

Issue Gas Rationing

louatlnusa froln z1rsr raEsl

j. Francis Blaine, state rationing
officer, said the number of automo-
biles in use has been gradually de-
creasing in Delaware, but will de-
crease even more rapidly within
the next few months.
THE lack of sufficient tires will
cause a more rapid reduction than
gasoline rationing," Mr.. Blaine
said.
Approximately 100 applications
for supplementary gasoline rations
have been adjudicated by the vol
unteer workers of Wilmington War
Price and Rationing Board.
Delaware's bicycle quota for Au-
gust will be 316, Mr.. Blaine said. A
total of 10000 will be available for
rationing during that month in the
nation, twice as many as were dis
tributed this month. Pennsylvania
has the largest ration quota, S,436,
and Michigan is second with S,O12.

Henderson Speaks
On Gas Violations
CONTINUED from FIRST Psgs,

lContinued from FIRST FageJ
coupon rationing plan went into ef-
fect:.
Because of sinkings and diver
sion of tankers that in the past
carried 95 per cent of our petrol
cum products, east coast stocks of
petroleum have been reduced to
unprecedented lows during the
time of year when they should be
built up for the fall and winter
heating and fuel oil peak of de-
mand. l want to emphasize that
every gallon of gasoline used for
other than essential war transpor-
tation on the east coast means a
gallon less fuel oil for keeping
people warm next winter and for
keeping war plants going.
Every gasoline dealer is, in a
real sense of the word, an aide of
the government in an important
war job of alleyiating the petrol
cum shortage and assuring fair
charing of the available quantity
in a manner that will promote the
war effort. If a dealer is unwill-
ing to assist in this effort, we can
no longer consider him a part of
the system. Careless dealers
should know that by violating the
provisions of the regulations they
choose to run the risk of being put
out of business.
1--WE will take drastic measures,
If necessary, to assure that the
honest people are protected
against the chiselers. We will check
up on the applications and the con-
ditions of motoring under the "B"
and &C" books, and anyone who
fails to display on his car the
sticker corresponding to the high
est type of ration book he poss-
esses will be violating the law"

was a great burden and no relief
was provided.
V. S. but al their works they

signs of deep religion People
who wished to make a show used
fringes or tassels that were very
large.

The Day of Conflict, Matthew
21:23-23:39, for Sunday, May II.
After Jesus cleansed the temple,
his enemies tried to surprise him
by catch questions. Jesus then used
the question method to expose
them.
". Al. While the Pharisees
were gathered together, Jesus ask
ed them a question" The enemies
of Christ got together and made a
united attack of Jesus. 1t is not
so hard to overcome an individual
are united, it takes great power
to overcome them.
v. AZ. Saying, What think ye
of Christ? Whose son is he? They
say unto him. The son of David. !"
Here is a most important question,
the answer of which determines a
mans character. The answer to
the second question was one that
the religious leaders knew well
from their scriptures. A good teach
er proceeds from the known to the
unknown.
VS.. 43-45. "He saith unto them
How then doth David in the Spirit
call him Lord saying The Lord said
unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right
hand till put thine enemies under
meath my feet. II David then CALI
eth him Lord. how is he his son?''
Jesus quoted the 11th Psalm which
referred to the Messiah as Lord. 1t
is not likely that father would
call his own son, Lord. This fact
confused Jesus enemies. Jesus al
SO taught here that his kingdom
was not material one and so the
triumph of the true Messiah would
be spiritual. 1t was at this point
that his enemies. the religious lead
ers, were failures.
v. 46 "And no man was able
to answer him a word, neither burst
any man from that day forth ask
him any more questions" Beware
of an enemy who will not reason.
These critics became Jesus murder
'ers.

the multitude and to his disciples,
saying, The scribes and pharasees
sit in Moses seat" Jesus now pro-
,ceeds to expose his enemies.

they bid you observe, that observe
and do, but do not ye after their
works, for they say and do not We

BIG LOSS In STATE
SALES TAX STAMPS

A loss of $587,492OS was regis
tered in the sale of prepaid sales
tax receipts during the four weeks
ending April 25. as compared 1ith
the similar period in 1871, report
released today by Treasurer of

period in 1941, of $8,30963
The greatest loss fell to the auto
motive class which slumped from
1895, 1866 to $352,052, reflect

tai sale of tax stamps in the state
has dropped $1,o12,933.59 below
that of last year. Comparative fig

HOLDS OUT HOPE FOR
APPLE CROP

Even though some killing frosts
may yet occur, there would seem to
be good prospect that on apple
varieties which have blossomed
heavily and where trees are located
on sites reasonably free from frost
there is a good chance for a crop of
apples, declares c. w. Ellenwood,
associate horticulturist of the Ohio
Agricultural Experiment Station
who urges growers not to neglect
their spray program even though
frosts may yet occur.
In the region of Wooster this
year, most apple varieties reached
full bloom stage on April 80. The
average date of full bloom for the
standard apple varieties at Wooster
is May for the past 80 years. Thu.
the bloom was eight days ahead O.
