To clean out this ash, open the clean-out door (above tn: feed door and serapc the hues with a brush or small shovel. When you are through, be sure the door is closed tightly. If necessary, you can seal 1t temporarily with as- bestos cement
 When you shake the grates never shake hard and NEVER bang them, Stop after the first red glow ap- pears in the ash pit. On most win ter days, 1t Is necessary to shake your furnace only once day,

 And last word of warning: Never burn garbage or other refuse in your furnace and don't, at any time, use ashes to bank the fire.

 Vacation" Plan

Two local OPA War Price & Ra- tioning Boards, situated in a free office space in Rocky Hill and Wash ington school houses, are awaiting the arrival of December g with anticipatory chills thanks to the equitable manner in which they handled fuel oil rationing.
 On that date, the schools will close for a three-week Christmas holiday, Chester Bowles, State OPA director, learned today, and with the closing the thermostats will be low cred to 45 degrees in accordance with the fuel oil conservation pro- gram.
 This means the members of the oPA Boards who allotted the schools the thrifty oil ration will be the first ones to undergo the rigors attend ant upon the "heatless vacation days plan, Bowles pointed out.
 The unique situation wasn't brought to his attention by the board members, either, the oPA chief said.
