IA tractors, % machine guns, 600

Motorists Rush
To Register for
Gas RdtionCards
700 Teachers Volunteer
TO Serve in Schools;
Friday Is Desdline

Half a million Detroit motorists
started getting their cars regis
tered for A gasoline ration books
today-with the strong warning
from OPA officials that If they
don't get il done before Friday
night, they will have to wait until
after December /.
Detroit schools, the same ones
which were open for sugar ration
registration, will handle the load
in the present registration. staying
open from a. m. until 8 tonight
and Until 9 p. m. tomorrow and
Friday. The blackout caused the
earlier closing tonight. There will
be 100 teachers acting as vol
unteer registrars.
As the OPA gasoline Section
prepared final arrangements, they
warned again that registrants
must come armed with the essen
tial information. This includes
the car license number. the serial
number of the five tires on the
car, the federal use tax stamp
number 1.-THE pink one) and the
cars registration.
NEEDN'T GO IN PERSON
It is not necessary that the car
owner appear for registration. He
can be represented by any one,
provided the proper information is
furnished.
The A book Is designed TO give
each motorist enough gas to allow
him TO drive 1880 miles a year,
| figured on the basis of IS miles
to a gallon or four gallons per
week.
OF the 1880 miles. 1850 are to
be considered for nonessential or
family driving. such as shopping.
driving the children to school and
like errands. The remainder is
considered TO be for essential or
occupational driving and no one
whose occupational driving does
not exceed 1900 miles a year will
be eligible for supplementary ra-
tons on the B or c books.
In addition, the registrant must
sign over TO the government the
titles to all tires for his car in
excess of five. This is to relieve
the jam Of calls for the pickup of
tires. Tires so signed over will
be picked up later.
WARN OF LAWS TEETH
In this connection, authorities
repeated. II Is we'll for the motor
list TO remember that the rationine
law has teeth, too. They pointed
out that the penalty for giving
false information or classifying the
application is $4,000 fine or 10
years in prison or both. In addi-
ton, violators may be prohibited
from receiving gasoline or any
other rationed commodity.
Applications for supplemental B
and c gasoline books will be taken
at the time of registration, but
will not be processed until No
vember %. All books, however,
were expected to be in the hands
OF drivers before the start OF ma
tion-wide rationing.
This will be facilitated by the
cooperation Of six Detroit auxil-
larry boards functioning in addi-
ton to the 80 processing centers.
The processing centers will
tailor" the supplementary books
to fit the requirements of the in
-dividuai driver by tearing out
enough coupons to allow him his
needs.
Plant transportation committees
will pass on applications for 3
and c books and the auxiliary
boards will issue them, thus
speeding the handling of the books
and insuring completion of the
job on time.

WHAT a practical idea there
w is in this cunning small outfit
for little girls! Off with the jacket
and you have a cunning play dress
without sleeves-so that it permits
rollicking freedom and plenty of

which your daughter can wear in
comfort for hours of backyard
play, beach games and farm life!
The jacket which dramatically
transforms the princess frock into
a smart street outfit is just waist
length, has tiny short sleeves and
a simple square neck. You'll like
the effect if you apply to the skirt
