With Children Under
4 10 GET Extra Oil
Allowance IS GuIIons:
III and Elderly Also
Will Benefit

Washington householders with
children under 4 years of age will
get supplemental fuel oil rations of
Is gallons each for the winter sea-
son, the Office of Price Administra-
ton announced today.
This extra allowance, intended as
safeguard for the health OF small
children, is the amount allotted to
Zone c, made up of the District,
Maryland and Virginia.
The added ration will vary from
so to 125 gallons in the various
Eastern seaboard zones, depending
on the average winter temperatures
over period of years. The amounts
are intended to allow raising the
temperature in a well-insulated
house from IS degrees, the level pro-
vided in the basic ration, to about
10 degrees "in the space that must
be occupied by children" but not
necessarily the whole house, OPA
explained.
Allowances by Zones.
The extra allowances for the four
zones will be: Zone A, 125 gallons;
zone B, 100; zone c, IS; zone D, so.
Zone A includes the most northerly
and coolest sections of the rationed
area. The other zones have sue
cessively warmer climates.
The allowance, to be granted when
householders register and note in
their applications the presence of
children under 4, will not be in
creased for families with more than
one child under 4, nor will the size
of the house affect the size of the
allowance.
Houses where there are sick or
elderly persons will be afforded addi-
tio1al fuel allowances on presenta-
ton of doctors certificate and an
auxiliary ration application which
will determine the amount of fuel
required.
Local Boards Will Rule.
Off1cials warned that no supple
mental rations would be allowed to
any one who, in the judgment OF
his local board, could reasonably be
expected to convert his furnace to
coal.
The War Production Board an
nounced that no specific authoriza-
ton would be required for construc-
ton begun January l to insulate
buildings with non-metallic ma
terials so that fuel may be conserved
Materials and equipment that may
be installed include weather strip
ping, storm windows and doors, and
air cell pipe coverings, but the order
provided that no rubber, cork or
metal, other than fasteners, may be

and automobiles. Fertilizers and
other materials will become harder
to get. Farmers cannot always
count on the remarkable yields of
recent years.
"The difficulties are tremendous.
Frankly don't know if farmers can
keep turning out enough food for
our troops, our allies and our people
here at home.
Our only hope lies in one di-
rection-in harnessing all of our re-
sources to the task of producing
only the farm products which are
absolutely esential. 1t is hard way
you cannot fight and win a global
war by taking it easy. I can't say
for certain that even the hard way
will enable us to win all the battles
on the food front.
THE time will come, I am afraid,
when the lot of farmers will seem
hard-much harder than it is now.
The road ahead for farmers is long
and difficult, but it is the only road
that leads to victory"

Farmers Must Grow
Essential Products
Only, Wiekard Says
Secretary Inuugurotes
Food-for-Freedom
Harvest Program
By the Associated Press.


TYLERTOWN, Miss, Oct. s.
Secretary of Agriculture Wickard
said here today that agriculture in
wartime must be limited to "produc-
ing only the farm products which
are absolutely essential and pre-
dicted the time when the lot of
farmers will seem hard-much
harder than it is now"
Inaugurating a od-for-freedom
harvest observance program here,
Secretary Wickard declared that
the 1912 farm production, a near
record one, might not be exceeded
for years, great though the need
and that future production might
not be sufficient for all needs at
home and abroad.
1--WE must increase our reserves of
food" he said. THE wartime re-
quirements of American food will
continue to grow larger. Next year
we will need farm production even
greater than this years. I must tell
you, though, that I am not at all
sure that total production will be
even as large. This year of 1942
may stand as a record for a long
time.
More farmers and farmers sons
will be going into the armed forces
and munition factories. Hired labor
will be harder to get for the same
reason. More machinery will wear
out, and so will more farm trucks
