I'VE have organized the school
on military basis as convenient
means of getting things DONE" he
explained.
The student body comprises bat
talon, which has been divided into
companies, platoons and squads, he
added.
AS an example of how this setup
works, Mr.. Douglas said since there
is virtually no janitor service at the
school now, the work is being done
by students. One squad is assigned
each day to do the sweeping, an
other the cleaning, etc. This in
cludes girls as we'll as boys
Supplementing the victory corps
program is a work experience pro-
gram. with students being assigned
to aid in scarp collection, Red Cross
and civilian defense work and work
in commercial establishments and
on farms.
Those in charge of collecting scrap
already have picked up more than
tons Of metal, which is dumped
on lot adjacent to the school.
Eventually, a commanding officer
OF the battalion will be chosen from
among student officer candidates.
Approximately one-third of the stu

training.
Affects Home Economies.
Even the home economics class
has come in for its share of atten-
ton. A nurses school has been
inaugurated to provide students
trained to take care of children of
women employed in industry and
those taking war training courses at
the school,
Meanwhile, the sewing class has
been assigned the task of making
caps for members of the corps. Most
of the caps have been completed and
are expected to be distributed today
to the students.
On each cap will be the insignia
of the particular corps division of
which the bearer is member.
There are six divisions-land service,
air service, sea service, production
service, community service and gen.
eral service.
| Members of the corps also will
have their own uniforms. The boys
will wear khaki trousers and shirts,
while the girls will wear blue skirts,
blue ties and white blouses.
Supervising the entire setup is an
Advisory Council, composed of five
members Of the parent-teacher as
sociation, five faculty members and
five students.

The third floor Of the center is
devoted to games-table tennis,
cards, checkers, dominoes. There's
piano there, too. for the boys to
gather around and sing. More than
score of attractive young women
are needed there.
Women who can play the piano
or perhaps a guitar, women who
can play bridge or gin rummy, who
like to dance or who just make good
listeners are the type to make the
center go.
From the first floor to the top

Montgomery Blair Is Model
In Victory Program for Schools
Dr.. Studeboker, on Visit, to Find
Wartime Curriculum Well Established.

When DR.. John w. Studebaker

cation, visits the Montgomery Blair
High School in Silver Spring, Md.
this afternoon he will find a stu
dent victory corps program already
organized and in full swing.
Montgomery Blair, together with
Sherwood High School in Sandy
Spring and Ellicott City High
School, are believed to be the first
schools in the country to launch
victory student programs in advance
of the War Manpower Commission S
request.
The program at the Silver Spring
school, OF which E. M. Douglass is
principal, is considered by ONCE OF
Education officials as a model for
larger high schools, while that OF
the Sherwood High School, of which
Lester WEIGH is principal, is con-
sidered a model for smaller, rural
high schools.
Put on Wartime Basis.
Office of Education officials say
that Montgomery Blair has gone far
in mobilizing its students for more
effective participation for and in
the war effort.
Even before a special committee
headed by DR.. Studebaker, was ap-
pointed to sponsor. the formation
of high school victory corps
throughout the country, the Mont
gomery Blair curriculum had been
placed on wartime basis

Good Tires Lift Price
OF Junk Auto 10 $21
Al Police Auction
Scrop Metal Demand
Spurs, Bidding for
Ancient Vehicles

A 10-year-old, broken down auto
mobile that would net no more than
IS on today's junk market sold this
morning for $21 at the Police De-
partment's unclaimed property auc-
ton, and the new owner expressed
the view afterward it was real
buy-because the car had four fairly
good rubber tires.
Leonard Delvecchio, 36, Of 1919 ]
street NV, was the high bidder In
the sale of the car, one of 10 un-
claimed lost or stolen autos auc.
toned of at the police property yard
First and H streets Sc. Also sold
were IA nondescript rowboats and
skiffs, two trucks and one motor
cycle.
The car purchased by Mr.. Del.
vecchio was in the last stages of de.
cline, with its engine no longer able
to run, It's roof caved IN and all win
dows and the windshield shattered
But Mr.. Delvecchio had hts eyes on
those tires.
Tires Prompted Bid.
-Four used tires no better thar
these would cost me $25 EACH" he
explained. This way I get four TO,
$21 and should be able to sell the cal
for junk" He said the tires on his
own auto were mot SO hot"
Used car dealers and junk dealers
led in spirited bidding under the
urging of Auctineer Zed Williams
Many Of the cars appeared in good
condition, the others were good only
for the scrap they contained
Inspector Milton D. Smith, act
Ing chief property clerk, said the
cars were selling unusually high and
attributed it to the current scrap
drive here.
One 1898 model coupe was sold to
John Torhan, a sailor attached to
the Naval Air Station, for sos. It.
too, had tires which these days are
considered good.
Auctioneer Williams kept up a
running fire Of talk, at one time
commenting: IF you can't run 'em,
you can shoot them at the Japs."
Another Model Brings SIG.
Here's model that cost lots of
money-not so long ago." he said as
he stood on the hood of a decrepit
automobile. The car sold for $12
to junk dealer
At another point. he remarked: ::
"This car has been in careful hands.
It's just the weather it has been
through" The machine, in no
better condition than Mr.. Delvec-
chio's, went for $40 to a dealer.
Property coming into police hands
is usually placed on the block after
six months when owners do not
call to make claims or when police
have failed to locate owners.
Today's sale was the third held by
the department this year.

Rations Cut MILEAGE
OF Passenger Cars
10 5,17O Yearly
OPA Divides Heating
Season Into 5 Periods
For Eosier Budeeting

Price Administrator Leon Hender-
son declared yesterday that coupon
rationing of gasoline in the East had
cut passenger car travel to an aver
age of 5,170 year, only slightly
above the 5,00O-mile annual limit
recommended by the Baruch Rubber
Committee as essential for the con-
servation of rubber on the Nations
automobiles.
Meanwhile, OPA announced that
the new fuel oil rationing plan will
divide the heating season into five
| periods to enable home owners to
budget rations accurately through
the winter.
Valid for Certain Periods.
Coupons numbered one to fve
will be issued for specific periods,
and will be valid only in those PEE
riods. Provision will be made, how
ever, for cold snaps. In this ar
rangement II the demand Is unuau-
ally heavy for Oil in one period,
householders will be allowed to bor-
row from the subsequent period.
The work of registration for oil
rationing is expected to be started
about October IS. Home owners,
however, must fill their tanks be-
fore October l and will be charged
with the amount of oil in tanks on
that date in computation of rations
for the year.
The District, Maryland and Vir-
ginia are placed in OPA's c thermal
zone. The heating periods in this
zone will expire on the following
dates: Period l, December 3; period
2, January 4; period 3, February 2;
period 4, March 6, and period S, the
end of the season.
Auto Mileage Off 60 Per Cent.
Mr.. Henderson stated that pas
senger car travel has dropped of
nearly so per cent under the ration
ing plan now in effect in the Dis
trict and II Eastern States. He said
that in addition to the cut estimated
through issuance Of coupon books, it
was believed that holders Of even A
books were not using all of their
coupons.
He added that 68 per cent of the
cars in the East are assigned A
books, 18 per cent have B books
while IA per cent have been issued
Cs. This means that about 100000
Of the estimated 100000 cars in the
East have only the basic A books.
When gasoline rationing is ex-
tended to the rest OF the country
about November %, OPA expects
that it will show similarly large
car-use curtailment.

and hope" that the Senate would
act very quickly to pass the bill.
Satisfaction Expressed.
In a letter to Mrs. Henry P.
Chandler. chairman of the OCD
Child Care and Protection Commit
tee. Miss Mendham said that the

been operating since September Is
with four paid workers. Miss Mend
hams letter also turned over to the

quests with reference to existing

centers for pre-school children. 4
3. Placement Of nursery school

In obtaining a 60-day extension
OF the Government overtime pay
bill, Chairman Randolph explained
that legislation which would make
similar provision for all Government
employees was now under considera-
ton and probably would be intro
duced in the House within 80 days.
! Mr.. Randolph attempted to get
House approval of bill, which has
already passed the Senate, increas-
ing the penalty for speeding and
stifening the drivers permit law.
He withdrew the measure, however,
