Chunky, affable Lynn Stambaugh, National Commander of the Am erican Legion, found the President working in his shirt sleeves when he called at the White House to report on Legion activities in the war effort.

 Shall we pose with or without our coats on?" he asked, as the photographers were focusing their cameras.

OPA Urges Early
Tire Inspection

While January 81 is the deadline
for having tires on passenger auto
mobiles inspected in compliance with
the mileage rationing program, the
OPA is urging motorists to have the
job done now to avoid a last minute
rush.
Motorists must 60 to these official
stations, designated by the OPA, for
the inspections. If the tires are in
good running condition, which the
inspector can determine by looking
at them as they stand on the car, the
maximum fee for the service will be
Is cents. If any of the tires look as
if they need attention, the inspector
is authorized to remove the tire from
the wheel and charge the motorist
so cents for such removal. There are
OPA ceilings on any service that has
to be rendered the tire.
Where tires are in good running
condition, the inspector will place his
official stamp on the motorists tire
inspection record, which is the lower
half of the application form he filled
out when applying for his basic "a"
mileage ration book. That is all there
is to the inspection for the next four
months unless the motorist has a
"B" or &C" card. Then he must
have his tires inspected every so days.

To Ration Coffee
On Family Basis

Office of Price Administration Of
ficials have ruled that coffee ration
ing will be handled on a family basis
where members of family live to-
gether and use the same coffee sup
ply. When the public registers for
War Ration Book No. 2 it will be
asked to declare how much coffee
it had on hand November %. In
stead of allowing coffee on an indi-
vidual basis, the whole FANNY will
be considered.
For instance, OPA officials ex-
planned, family of three adults that
had total of five pounds on the
pantry shelf November %, must sur
render two coupons, one for each
pound over the allotted one pound
per member. The family member
who handles the purchasing will have
to decide out of whose books the cou-
pons must come.

New Speed Edict
Being Enforced
By State Patrol
November Report Shows
30l Drivers Arrested:
672 Others Warned.

That the Minnesota State Highway
patrol means business when it comes
to enforcing the new wartime edict
of 35-mile an hour on the highway,
is much in evidence in the November
report recently compiled.
Patrol Chief Eldon Rowe's resume
turned in to Highway Commissioner
M. j. Hoffman shows that 391 drivers
were arrested by patrol officers that
month for failing to heed the new
Federal and state regulation, and 672
others were given written warning
tickets for marginal attractions of
the same rule. Although the motor
lists warned, escaped arrest, second
offense will automatically cause them
to be brought into court.
Stopped for Careless Driving.
In addition to arrests for excessive
speed, the monthly patrol report
showed 125 drivers apprehended for
careless driving; ITO arrests and 1913
written warnings for going through
stop signs; "a arrests and So warn
ings for improper passing; and LOT
arrests and 1853 verbal warnings for
driving with illegal and unsafe equip
ment. In addition, 1858 illegal equip
ment tags were issued requiring i'm
mediate repair or correction of vehi-
Gle defects.
In contrast with the large number
of arrests for speeding and kindred
offenses, drunk driving violations
were the lowest in any month since
February. Out of 1,066 patrol ar
rests during November only 66 of
the offenders were driving while in
toxicated.
Highway patrolmen gave aid to
2,441 motorists during the month of
which 978 required minor adjust
ments or repairs to stranded vehicles,
and ITO had to be pulled out of
bitches.

Inmate Captured
On Hinckley Farm

Frank B. Dumont, inmate of the
Federal Correctional Institution at
Sandstone, who made his escape Tues
day of last week, was captured late
Friday afternoon on the John Zeman
place southeast of Hinckley.
Dumont had slept in the barn on
a nearby farm the previous night and
fled when a young boy went to the
loft to throw down hay. Guards were
summoned from the prison and to-
gether with Warden G. w. Humphrey
of the institution began a search
through the immediate vicinity.
The escaped youth was finally cor
nered in the house on the Zeman
farm. An earlier search there failed
because he had forced the elderly
couple to tell guards who knocked on
the door that they were alone in the
house.
Dumont had stolen a car in Fries
land to be used in making his escape.
