Explosive and incendiary bombs
caused considerable damage to
houses of the settlement and
many civilians were among the
casualties.
Location of the settlement was
not announced, but many of the
Soviet factories in that area are
several miles from the city. 1t
is obvious that it was not any

along the Vogla, because no dis

which was described as "of great

SINGLE WITHDRAWAL
Firming Soviet lines in the
central Caucasus apparently fol-
lowed a withdrawal from one
community n the Mozdol area,
a retreat announced at mid
night.
The noon communicate spoke
only of the repulse of tank and
infantry attacks, in tina area be-
fore the Caucasus mountains
and Grozny oil area, saying that
"in "a hours our men disabled
or set on fire seven German
tanks and wiped out about a
company of Hitlerites."
Red Star said the Germans
penetrated mountain passes a
few days ago and tried to get
across a Caucasian chain, but
furious blows by the waiting
Red Army attachments repell-
ed them.
All the approaches are again
in Soviet hands, the newspaper
said. Captives were quoted as
saying that Axis losses in the
mountains were unusually hea-
wy, one regiment getting rein
forcements four times in six
DAYS.
The daily monitor leader. [volume] (Mount Clemens, Mich.) 1942-19??, 1942-10-07

This system is in such general
use that it is not at all unusual
to see a line of cars several
blocks long traipsing after a gas
truck.
When the truck stops, its fol-
lowing caravan swoops down on
the oasis. In one instance, a dis
tributor was cleaned out of 500
gallons in less than two hours.
Lines of as many as $50 cars
have waited for hours outside a
filling station known to have
gas. Some proprietors, to save
motorists time, now figure out
about how many cars their
stocks will take care of. Then
they count off the waiting line
and hang a sign on the last car
they think they can service:
Well be out of gas after this
car"
Because of the uncertainties of
getting gas even if your ration
card entities you to it, the east
ern drivers 1912 motto is: New
er get caught with your gas
gauge down." Motorists whose
tanks will only take three or
four gallons will wait in line for
hours on the chance of getting
them filled.
The hard way of assuring
yourself of gas supply-or as
much of one as your ration card
allows-is to park next to a fill
ing station pump on the evening
before delivery day, curl up in
the back seat for the night, and
thus DE on hand first thing in the
morniny when deliveries are
made.
TAKING TRIcS MEANS
HEADING INTO TROUBLE
In these ways, we fasteners
get our gas. In certain areas,
where gas is plentiful, there has
been a lot of straight cheating
not punching cards. This will
soon be eliminated through the
new system whereby, to get his
own supplies, : dealer must pre-
sent the coupons he has torn of
motorists ration books.
None of these systems of keep
ing a tank full is much help fol-
long trips. The salesman whose
ration card entitled him to
plenty of gasoline for 500-mile
tour may be able to start his
jaunt with full tank. But once
on the road, he becomes just an
other transient" with no guar
antee o. getting more fuel when
his runs out.
Many are the eastern June
honeymooners who took their
wedding trip in hubby's business

reason that (a) under the pres
ent system trucks get unlim'
tied gas; and (b) gas dealer:

their limited supplies to tran
sient trucks than to transient
pleasure cars.
The difficulties of getting ga!
have put sharp crimp in pleas

ed to be off fifty per cent ovel

has been that hordes of pleasure
seekers have eyerrun~ the -recre

Fasteners Find it Takes More
Than Ration Cards to Get Gas
By TOM WOLF
NEA Service staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Oct. Z - This
is a gas-thirsty fasteners re-
port to the unrationed west on
what life is like on the rationed
Atlantic seaboard.
You've undoubtedly read lot
about the ration cards-from the
three gailons-a-wee to the
unlimited TX" (soon to be dis
continued). You may even have
tried to figure out which card
you'd ask for should rationing
be extended to a nationwide ba-
sis. This, as we eastern motorists
have discovered, is strictly a
waste of time.
GASOLINE STATIONS
RUN DRY OFTEN
The sad fact is that SO many
gasoline stations, particularly
here around the metropolitan
area, are perpetually out of gas
that it makes no difference how
much your ration card says
you're entitled to. The filling
stations supplies are usually
Tapped up within few hours
after new stocks are delivered.
Then up goes the most familiar
sign-of- the-times in the east -
mo gas"
mo gas" usually means mo
gas" But not always. Gas sta
ton proprietors have had to in
vent ways to protect their linn
tied stocks for use of their reg
ular customers. Thus, a filling
station owner, his tanks far from
empty. hangs out his mo gas
sign. Regular customers drive up
to the back door and get their
cars filled from cans.
This practice of hanging out
false mo gas signs has made
the filling station business one
of the most hazardous in the
world. Irate customers, disbe-
lieving these signs, have engaged
in fisticuffs with and soundly
boxed the ears of dealers whose
tanks were in truth actually
empty.
Regular customers get some
protection in variety of ways.
The easiest is for dealer to call
his client and tell him when a
new delivery is expected. The
autoist arrives a few minutes
ahead of the gasoline truck and
gets his tank filled. A similar
method used by some filling sta
tons is to tell customers to
leave their car in an adjacent
parking lot on the day gas is ex-
pected. The gas station attend
ant then drives these cars to the
pumps after the supply arrives,
and the customers pick their cars
up and get their ration cards
punched in the evening.
AUTOS TRAIL
GAS TRUCKS
For drivers who are not so
lucky as to get these courtesies,
there are a few other alterna-
tives to running dry. One is to
park along the highway until a
gasoline truck rumbles by, then
to follow it to a filling station.

whelming numbers in nearby
Bear Mountain Park that the,
woods deer fled what had al
ways been their sanctuary -
before gas rationing.
In the overall picture, the
outstanding effect of the ration
ing has been the strengthening
of community life. Not only
must people who formerly shop
ped in neighboring towns now
shop at home, but tradesmen and
laborers now must confine their
work to their own communities.
A painter, for example, COM
missioned to repaint house
only ID miles away, turned the
job down for lack of gas.
To date, gas rationing seems
to have affected not the amount
of money spent so much as the
place where il is spent. Chain
store sales, for example, are un-
changed in the aggregate, but
have risen in the smaller towns,
dropped off in urban centers.
Housewives seem to be shopping
only once a week, driving to
stores by some share-the-ride
system. Often they buy during
the day, leaving the packages
for hubby to pick up when he
drives home at night.
STORES DEVELOPING
INGENIOUS IDEAS
Individual stores are using
considerable ingenuity in keep
ing customers. Schemes include
meeting suburban trains with
station wagons to lug shoppers
back and forth to the store; pro-
motion of share-the-ride clubs;
creation of big, new bicycle
parking lots" One metropolitan
shop has taken to picking up
customers and delivering pack
ages in a refurbished stage
coach.
The people who get it in the
neck, of course, are the station
attendants and roadside stands
and tourist inns. Even before "a.
tioning many of the younger gas
station men had gone into the
army or to better paying jobs In
war industries. Some filling sta
ton proprietors are trying tc
cushion the shock by branching
into the repair business.
