New Gas Books
Registration

About 80 Cecil County teachers
will be called back to their desks
because the Office of Price Admin
istration last week fixed July 1, 2
and as the dates for motorists in
the Eastern States and the District
of Columbia to register for their
new gasoline ration books.
Public school buildings again
will be used for the registration.
School administrators will be noti-
fed that they may call upon volun-
teers to help, since many teachers
will be unavailable because of the
vacation period.
Announcement of the dates when
autoists may sign up and obtain
"a" books, which will be good for
1880 miles Of driving, came after
OPA officials had conferred with
DR.. John w. Studebaker, Commits
sioner of Education.
The permanent rationing system
in the East becomes effective July
18th.
Only GAP books will be issued by
school registrars. Persons believ-
ing these will not suffice will be
required to submit applications for
supplemental rations to their local
rationing boards anytime between
July / and Is. "B" and "C'' books
will be issued during that period.
The new rationing plan will elm
mate the controversial "X'' card
and cover every type of vehicle,
including buses, trucks and taxicabs.
Dealers must turn in coupons to
get fresh supplies of gasoline.
Meantime, OPA announced that
gasoline for commercial boats and
other non-highway occupational
uses will be rationed through "E"
and "R" coupon books. Sufficient
for a six-months supply, the books
may be obtained from local ration
ing boards.
"E' books will contain 4S cou-
pons with one-gallon unit value.
The "R" book will have SO coupons
with an exchange value of five gal
Ions each. The former will be issued
for small engines, including lawn
mowers and cupboard motors. "R"
books will be for larger motor
equipment, such as tractor, ditch
diggers and other heavy equipment.

Woe, Woe And More Woe

1t has been said that misfortunes
never happen singly and we are
having proof of this in the Midland
Journal Office. Last week Evans e.
Ewing, the editor, was taken to
Maryland General Hospital, Balti-
more, where he is undergoing
treatments and will be confined for
several weeks longer. On Tuesday
Miss Genevieve Cecil, our very cap
able linotype operator had the mis-
fortune to make misstep coming
out of Ashby's Drug Store and
fell, suffering badly sprained an
kle and is now hobbling around to
attend her work.
The old timer, who is again en-
throned as High Priest in the Edi-

When the work now under way Is
completed this will include four
separate areas, with space for a

For most of the 10000 men at
the station, the routine will con-

they will be assigned to duty else
where. For others, particularly
those whose basic training has dis

possibility of shifting the school for

sea duty, have been chosen for

Since boat drill is an essential
part of a sailors training, the
navy is studying a plan to swing
whale boats over the swimming
pools. The boats could be dropped
into the water, made fast to the

CAMP CAMBRIDGE PROGRESSING
Maryland Training For The Fleets Men
OCCUPATION EXPECTED BY FALL

The following account OF. the huge
development going on at Port De-
post is by William B. Crane, star
of the Baltimore Sun
day Sun, and appeared in last
weeks Sunday issue.
In the woods behind the 300-odd
acres which contain the granite
buildings which Jacob Tones mil
lions built as a school for boys,
bulldozers are snorting. Trucks
loaded with lumber, concrete, wire
and other building materials rumble
up from the Philadelphia road,
dump their cargoes and return for
others. Gangs of men are working
furiously to help the United States
Navy "pass a miracle" and trans
form 1910 acres of school and
farm land into huge training sta
ton for enlisted men.
BY October or November, IL the
navy's miracle gets passed, the plac-
i'd country back of the banks Of the
SusQuehanna river will have been
changed to hustling, bustling
camp, in which 10000 young sail
ors will be in various stages of
training. A ships company" OF
nearly 800 officers and 1000 men
will be putting them through their
PAGES and Cecil County's popula-
ton, given as 26,407 souls by the
last census, will be nearly doubled.
Indeed, before the navy finishes it's
project, sailors in the county will
out number civilians, for the
navy plans for an eventual total of
25, 900 trainees alone at the sta
ton with the possibility that even
this number may be increased.
The plans for the station, which
only recently passed from the blue
print to the construction stage, show
the magnitude of the task the navy
must accomplish to meet the tenta-
tive deadline. When the service pur-
chased the property occupied by
the Tome School since its opening it
became the possessor of number of
lovely stone buildings placed in
well-kept grounds Astounding in
shade trees, small power plant
and pumping station and q reser-
voir set apart from the school
grounds. BY condemnation proceed
ings it took over a number of adj
joining farms totaling some TAO
acres, owned by twenty-five or
thirty families and containing only
the usual dwellings and farm build
ings. When the navy finishes its
work 1t will have one Of the largest
naval training stations in the coun-
try set a considerable distance from
salt water, station which will
rival in magnitude the tremendous
Great Lakes plant--a station which
was in operation during World War
I and which has been recently great
ly expanded. The navy plans to
keep the old Tome School grounds
for administrative quarters. 1t is on
the adjoining property that the
training station proper will be
placed.
