OPA BROADCASTS
 CLEANUP WARNING
HOuseOwners May Find Difficulty in Obtaining
 Stove Equipment

Homeowners have work to do thls Spring If they want warm homes next winter. They must clean thelr heating equipment and preserve t against summer rust and eorroslon.
 The warning to "clean now" comes from the OPA Consumer Division, through the Regional In- formation Oiilce. oEM, i7 Court street, Boston, which makes the following suggestions:
 If your stove, furnace, or boiler needs repairs, arrange for them now. Don't walt until Fall to order needed pNrts--ttcy may not be available later.
 Use paint, grease, or pil to coat the parts of your heating equlp- mOnt which are likely to rust and deterloratc during the summer idle- ness. Rust and corrosion cause more damage to heating plants than almost my amount of use. Clean tho equipment thoroughly before coating with protective cov- ering,
 If your cellar is unusually damp and your heating equipment rugtS rapidly, build c fire occasionally during the summer months. This will inhibit the spread of rust.
 The smoke pipes of idle coal- burning stoves and furnaces tend to rust through quickly. Take them down, wrap in newspaper, and store in c dry place until they are needed again next autumn.
 If necessary, call in c professional furnace cleaner. His bill will Do smaller than tho ono you'll have to pay if your heating equipment de- terlorates during the summer.
 It's e real ftielsDaviiig economy to clean your furnace and keep it In repair. If you're careless with your heating plant, you're likely 10 waste ID to several tons Of coal iti c single winter.
 Coal is one item that consuinerB ore urged to stock Up, as Bate- guard against future transportation worries. But use your coal and other fuel carefully to make t last longer, warns the government, be- cause that safne transportation problem will make it hard to get additional fuel later.

II Reserve Divisions
To Be Reorganized
As Triangular Units
Cavalry Components
To Be Assigned to
Other Field Duties

Under the reorganization Of the
Organized Reserves, 27 Reserve in
fantry divisions will be changed from
the old square divisions into the
streamlined triangular divisions SIM
liar to those of the Regular Army and
some National Guard divisions. The
cavalry divisions of the Organized
Reserve will be disbanded as divi-
sions and their components assigned
to other field duties.
Under the new plan. these divi-
Sions will be reduced from two in
fantry brigades of two regiments
each, four in all, one field artillery
brigade of three regiments, and
other square divisions units, to the
close-knit triangular divisions OF
three regiments of infantry, four
battalions of field artillery and
authorized units.
This change in the divisional re-
organization of the Organized Re-
serves will be of particular interest
to Reserve officers on active duty de-
string field service and those Re-
servists expecting active duty in the
near future. Since Organized Re-
serve units are now at greatly re-
duced strength in officers, officer and
enlisted cadres for the divisions
to be activated will be selected by
the War Department from all avail
able sources and will furnish the
framework on which the complete
divisions will be formed.
Most of the Reserve officers whose
peacetime assignments were to these
divisions are now in the Federal
service on other assignments. How
ever, all qualified Reserve officers not
now on active duty will be included
in the officer personnel required to
fill the new units.
Where possible, non divisional
unity of the Organized Reserve will
be redesignated, but no change will
be made in their tactical assign
ments, it has been pointed out.
Those which cannot be redesignated
will be disbanded.
Organized Reserve units placed in
non-divisional category by the
reorganization will remain assigned
to present stations unle-s transfer
is specifically indicated. Where two
units have been combined to form
a single new unit, the station will
be determined by the corps area
commander.
