 Also helping to slow up the reg istration process was the large per- centage of those seeking cards in the B rather than the A classified. tions. A cards allow 2l gallons from May IS to July 1, while the B cards, depending on their type, al- low the purchase of 33,45 or 57 gallons during the period. There was also wide demand for x cards, allowing unlimited purchases, though these cards are strictly lim- tied to members of certain profess SionS.
 The oPA regulations provide that motorists may apply for supple mental allowances if they find the supplies of gas allowed then by their cards are not sufficient. How ever, applications for additional al- lowances will not be considered un- til after May IS, though they may be filed before then.

 Window stickers for homes and business firms which sign bond pur- chase pledges are being supplied, Mir. Moran said. The stickers should be proudly displayed as . symbol of cooperation with the vast war financing program, he pointed out.
 The first completed pledge book has been returned by Leonard San- tarsiero, of 30 Beacon street. Many more canvassers report their books are almost completed and will be filed soon.
 The employees of the Metropoli- tan, Travellers, John Hancock and Prudential Insurance company have all pledged their support to the drive. Not only will they sign pledges themselves but they will also serve as canvasSers.
 The Prudential company staff was found exceptionally well organized with names of hundreds of custo- mers recorded as having invested in stamps. Under the direction of T. P. Cassidy, manager, the staff has been selling stamps for several weeks. The home ofilce provided the initial allotment of stamps and the plan in operation has proved most successful. The customers are now signing up for the bonds.
 Incidentally MT. Santarsiero, present No. l canvasser, is associ- ated with the Prudential company's local office.
