Reckord Tells Graduates
Army Needs Mechanics
BY the Associated Press,


BELTSVILLE, Md, Sept. 19.-The
mission Of soldiers who keep motor
transportation operating lis just as
important as the mission of the man
behind the gun at the 'front.'" Maj.
Gen. Milton A. Reckord told the
first class of $50 graduates Of the
Sd Service Command Motor Me-
chanic School today.
The school was organized by
Gen. Reckord, commanding the Sd
Service Command. on war Depart
ment instructions at the site of
foHner CCC camps here.
The first class was from Camp
Lee, Va, and today the members
completed a 12-week course, in auto
motive carburetion and electrical
work on engine and chassis units.
The men will be assigned to various
medium and heavy maintenance Or
ganizations in the field.
Gen. Reckord declared that pre-
ventive maintenance is of the high
est importance in that it keeps the
vehicles rolling and keeps them out
of the shop. A rolling vehicle in
good condition is an asset; a vehicle
on the dead line is a liability. Your
mission in keeping the motor trans
portation operating is just as i'm
portant as the mission of the man
behind the gun at the front, for it
is the vehicles that you keep in con-
dition that permit supplies to be
moved to the man at the front"

Climate Will Determine
Heating Ration Quotas
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Differences in climate win figure
in fuel oil rations, the Once Of
Price Administration said yesterday.
Four zones were established in
the 80 States where rationing will
begin next month, and a number OF
subzones were set up to provide for
ration adjustments where climate
has been found unusual.
Joel Dean, fuel rationing chief,
said the program was planned to
provide, as nearly as possible. "an
equality Of comfort among those who
depend on oil for heat"
This means that the oil-heated
house in Florida, where tempera-
lures never 60 very low, won't get
nearly as much fuel Oil as the
house in North Dakota, where SUBJ
zero weather is the rule during
winter" Mr.. Dean said. None of
them will get as much as usual"
The zone boundaries, Mr.. Dean
said. were established on the basis
of Weather Bureau reports for the
last 43 years. The fuel oil ration is
figured on the amount necessary to
heat house to IS degrees.

Fuel Oil Ration Edict
May Mean Healthier
American Homes
Medical Association Group
Sees Discomfort Unlikely
To Affect Health

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Sept. 19.-There's no
need to Shiver now in fear that you
may get sick this winter because
your house won't be as warm as
you'd like to have it.
That advice is offered by the Bu-
reau Of Health Education of the
American Medical Association. 1t
was inspired by the OPA's an
nouncement that fuel oil rationing
for 80 Eastern and Midwestern
States would be pegged to a daytime
temperature Of IS degrees under
average weather conditions.
The bureau stated temperatures
ranging from 60 to 6S and averaging
65 may interfere with comfort, but
are not likely to be detrimental to
health"
Suggestions Made.
To get along as best you can on a
limited oil supply, 1t recommended
these steps:
Close OF unused rooms and don't
try to heat them.
You can keep sleeping rooms
around so degrees if you dress In
warmer quarters.
Bathrooms should be heated COM
fortably.
A temperature of 65 is ample for
housewives and others moving
about, but it should be raised to 68
when you're sitting still.
Weather stripping and storm sash
should be used where available and
paper strips can be tackled over
cracks.
Draw Window Shades.
Drawn window shades and drapes
help to prevent radiation from glass
window panes.
Air movement within the house
should be kept at a minimum.
Additional clothing, especially a
sweater and woolen hose, may be
advisable.
Mere low temperature is not dan
gerous in ITSELF" the bureau said,

and resistance is kept high by SEN

Grain men said the provision

rate for No. 2 grades of wheat here
