and a third member who will repre-
sent the branch of the WPB within
whose jurisdiction the class of pro-
ject would fall.
Civilian Supply
The WPB ordered a reduction in
gasoline deliveries to filling stations
in II Eastern States, the District
of Columbia, Washington and Ore
gon, effective April 16, from the
current four-fifths to two-thirds Of
he average amounts they received
in December, January and February.
Petroleum Coordinator, Ickes said
the reduction may remove the nee
essi.y for card %rationing of gaso-
line. Mr.. Ickes announced the re-
location of l,400 miles of pipelines
TO Increase East coast oil supplies.
The Board also prohibited the in
stallation of new l~iquefied petrol
cum gas equipment.
The WPB curtailed radical style
changes in women's clothes and or
dered manufacturers and dressmak-
ers to eliminate excessive trimming
IN order to save an estimated 100
million yards of material. The Board
ordered production of golf clubs
halted May 81, and limited amounts
of tinplate for canning condensed
soups. The Board authorized manu-
facture this year of $4,000 freight
cars and 800 locomotives in addition
to $4,000 freight cars and 926 loco
motives previously authorized. 1t
ordered production of 1875 horse
power tractors halted September d.
iR~ationing
The Office of Price Administra-
ton postponed the date for ration
ing typewriters from April 10 to APP
ril 20 because some congested areas
had not received supplies of appli-
cation forms and certificates. The
OPA also broadened the eligibility
base for purchase of new and used
machines. The WPB ordered all pro-
duction Of medium and heaty trucks
for civilian use discontinued after
existing quotas have been completed.
The OPA said defense workers
may obtain recapped tires for their
ears only when no other means OF
transportation to their jobs is avail
able. The agency said Army and
Navy Intelligence Officers and TBl
agents are exempt from regulations
requiring names, addresses and &C.
equations to be published of all who
get tire purchase certificates. The
WPB granted additional sugar quo
tas for April to mere than 40 de-
tense areas whose population had
increased 10 percent or more during
the past year. The Board also said
canner and packers may obtain
auota-exempt sugar for the original
canning of fruits and vegetables.
Prices i.
The Labor Department reported
the average family food bill advanc-
ed 1.5 percent from February II
to March II. The OPA authorized
increased prices Of one cen on each
five pounds Of sugar in six New
England states to offset increased
transportation costs. The agency al
so authorized motor fuel retailers in
II Eastern states, Washington, Ore
gon and the District of Columbia to
charge three cents a gallon more
than wholesale prices. The Office
stated uncontrolled initiation would
add an additional 500 billion to
the nations war bill.

its hosts. Pain is not an early su1sp
tom of cancer. Usually it is a ves
late symptom and when it develop
the disease may be incurable.
One of the early clues Of cancer
may be a little thickening or lump
n any part of the body; another, o
ore which does not heal; still ano-
her, digestive troubles or loss Of
appetite; or perhaps blood or dis
charge from any body opening.
These early symptoms sound the
warning. They mea go to your
physician at once! Chances OF re
covery are infinitely better L CAD

Wherever you are, my heart re-
