Explain Plans For
Coffee Rationing
individuals to Get One Pound in
Five Weeks After November 2S

Plans for the Forthcoming rationing
of coffee have been outlined by the
War Price and Rationing Board.
Sales of coffee will be frozen No
vembcr 81 to 81 Beginning midnight,
November %, every person in the
country over fifteen years of age will
be entitled to a ration of one pound
of coffee each five weeks. Restau-
rants and other institutional users of
coffee will be controlled under ration
ing also.
1t was indicated that more and more
coffee would be packed in paper
bags and that tin-packed coffee may
disappear from shelves by Christmas
with glass jars going soon after.
Consumers will get their first coffee
ration by surrendering the last stamp
of their war ration book No |, the
book now used only for sugar ration
ing. Subsequent rations of coffee will
be on coupons taken in sequence from
80 down to is.
No. 9 Now Good for Sugar
War ration stamp No is now good
for three pounds of sugar, and was
good from November for a sin
weeks period, 1t is the same ratio as
in previous periods, one-half pound
per week per person.

Safety Inspection
For Cars Called Off

Cancellation of the annual automo-
bile safety inspection campaign, and
elimination of the rear license plate
"clip" next year were announced by
Motor Vehicle Commissioner w. Lee
Elgin
Elgin said a shortage of mechanics
made it necessary to call off the in
spcction. In previous years automo-
hilcs had to pass the inspection be-
fore new licenses would be issued the
owners.
Police however, will watch out for
unsafe vehicles and report them to
the commissioner, who will summo'
the owners for hearings.
Formerly, motorists began having
their cars checked from November
through the middle of December. If
repairs were needed, they had to be
made before inspection stickcrs were
issued.
One Clip Next Year
Elgin estimated approximately
twenty-five tons of steel could be
saved this year by eliminating the
rear license clip. The front clip will
be black with aluminium numerals, a
reversal of the color scheme of the old
large plates which will remain on We
hiclcs for the third year.

Legislators Pay
Increase May Win

A heavy vote from Baltimore county
in favor of increasing legislators sal
aries to 81 900 a year gave that pro-
posal a good chance of becoming law,
but such is not yet certainty.
There are changes from the count
ing Friday of absentee soldier ballots,
and in the official count of ballots in
Baltimore city, Allegany and Hartford
counties.
A tabulation complete except for
Somerset county, and official except
for the ones above noted gave;
For the measure. .... 60,266
Against it ................5 8,971
Somerset, with twenty-three polling
places, cast more than 5000 votes for
governor but voting in most counties
was far lighter on the seven proposed
amendments to the State constitution.
Legislators now receive S. per day,
with extra allowances for clerical as
sistance and mileage to and from
Annapolis
Other Probable Results
Of the seven proposed constitu-
tional amendments on the ballots
three of them aroused the most inter
est-the proposed salary increase for
legislators, a juvenile court system
and change in the condemnation pro-
cedure for highway projects.
The court proposal was apparently
beaten and the condemnation change
approved.
The fate of the one setting up regu-
lations for religious requests was in
doubt. On the basis of incomplete
tabulations the vote was 40,816 in
favor and Al, 697 against.
One providing a simple and uniform
system of fees in offices of clerks of
courts and registers of wills was ap-
parently approved 49,379 to 1882.
Hartford county was provided with
an additional associated judge by a
vote of 44,544 to 32,759.
Changing requirements for publica-
ton of proposed constitutional amend
ments was questionable, the present
vote being 1886 in favor and 37,6O1
against.

GAS RATIONINC
IS POSTPONED
TO DECEMBER |
Registration of Owners of Pas
senger Automobiles Will Take
Place Friday AS Scheduled

Gasoline rationing in the thirty-one
states not now under ration control
will be postponed from November %
to December !, OPA announced Tues
day.
The postponcment of the rationing
date however, does not affect the reg
istration date for owners of passenger
cars, and this will be carried out in
Garrett county on Friday, November
10, as was announced last week
This registration will take place in
the schools of the county and teachers
will assist in this work.
The War Ration Board announced
this morning that three things would
be required Of registrants-their reg
istration card for their automobiles,
the serial numbers Of all tires they
possess, and the serial number of the
Federal stamp which should be on the
windshield of the car.
Only "A" ration books will be
issued on Friday, which is the mini
mum book. Those who are of the
opinion that they are entitled to "B''
on "C' books may obtain supplemental
ration applications at the schools
which they are to fill out and present
to the ration board at later date
If person has more than the al
lottcd five tires in his possession he
will not be issued ration book on
Friday, it was stated. The individual
must get rid Of his excess tires at the
express office, at which place he will
be given receipt. He may then pre-
sent that receipt to the ration board
and receive an "a" book.
1t was also stated by officials of
the ration board that a number of
garages had the registration blanks
and that individuals would save much
time and confusion if they would pro-
cure them in advance and have them
filled out when they brought them to
the schools on Friday.
The postponcmcnt of the nation
wide rationing date was said by the
OPA to be due principally to war
time congestion of the transportation
system which it said made it impossi-
bic to keep delivery schedules in all
parts of the country on the more than

AS Practically Free
Of Diseased Cattle

Garrett county was among a group
of counties in the United States to
maintain its accredited rating in re-
gard to freedom of disease among cat
tie, it was announced by the United
States department of agriculture this
week
The department announced that
eleven counties in ten states had been
added to those officially accredited as
practically free from Bangs disease
among cattle. In addition sixteen
counties in three states were accredit-
ed as virtually free from the disease
for an additional period of three
years.
The total designated counties being
practically free of the disease is $50
in twenty-four states, containing more
than five million dairy and breeding
cattle.
The work of testing the cattle in
Garrett county had been in charge of
four veterinarians who completed
their work about three weeks ago.
Garrett county first became an ac-
credited area in 1889, according to
John H. Carter, county agent.
Mr.. Carter pointed out that before
cattle can be brought into an &C
credited area the purchaser must have
a health certificate for the cattle from
the state from which the purchase was
made.
The local office has not yet received
official notice that Garrett county has
been reaccredited
