Addressing the first session of

Industrial Council, Gov. O'Conor
said that Germany is we'll en-

Consumers Offered Method of
Checking Fuel Oil Allotment
Procedure Is Outlined for Computing
Rotion Each Householder Should Get

rate and the answer you get does
not agree with the value of the cou-
pons issued to you, 1t is suggested
you consult your local rationing
board.
OPA officials asked consumers,
when checking their allotments, to
count their coupons carefully, not
forgetting the SO gallons in specific
denominations. They also reminded
householders to add the amount of
oil they had on hand on october l
to the value of the coupons in order
to get their total ration.
Advice to New Users of Oil.
Consumers who filed their applica-
tions after November will get fewer
coupons for the first heating period
which ran from October l to De-
cember 3, depending on how late
they sent in their forms. However
if such consumers purchased oil on
the basis of promissory notes during
the first period. their rationing
boards will provide enough coupons
to redeem the notes.
| HouSeholders who are using oil
this year but did not have it last
year and those who used it only dur
ing part of the last season, can OBJ
tain their basic ration by multiply
ing the total number of square feet
in their homes by ITO.
Consumers who use oil for domes-
tic hot water must remember tt
save fuel to tide them over the sum.
mer months.
The allotment of oil for each
heating period is obtained by divid.
ing the total ration by five. Con
sumption of oil can then be checked
with the percentage figure appear
ing daily in The Stars page

Arlington Zone Law
Upheld by Virginia
Supreme Court
Sunday Beer Sole Case
Ordered Retired in
Hanover County
BY the Associated Press.


RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 8-The
Supreme Court yesterday upheld
the zoning ordnance of Arlington
County in affirming the decree of
the Arlington Circuit Court in the
case of Cherrydale Cement Block
Co. VS.. the County Board.
The board charged the company
violated the ordinance by putting
up drying shed in a residential
zone. The defendant firm denied
this and contended that the ordi-
nance itself was unreasonable.
In its opinion, the Supreme Court
said: THE development of Airing
ton County has been extraordinarily
rapid. In short time that county
bids fair to be entirely urban, and
for that reason it should be orderly
and not haphazard. We should look
with sympathy upon the efforts of
the county made to this end. 1t is
easier to prevent mistakes than to
correct them, and it is never possible
to say just where a line should run.
for conditions on either side of it
are seldom radical. The Judgment
OF the authorities must be plainly
wrong before it should be over
borne"
Beer Test Case Remanded.
The court, in another decision,
ruled, in effect, that there wasn't
anything in the State law to keep
merchant from selling beer on Sum
day if he wanted to-
IT there was, said the court, there
would have been no necessity for
the legislation which empowers
localities to bar Sabbath sales of
beer within their immediate juris-
dictions.
The courts views were given on
case presented to it as test by
Judge Leon Bazile of Hanover Cir
cult Court, who fined M. G.. Fran
cisco, Hanover County merchant. IS
and costs on the specific charge that
he worked at his trade or calling
on Sunday. In this case the selling
OF beer was held to be part of Mr..
Francisco's trade.
In remanding Mr.. Francisco's case
to the lower court for new trial, the
court said in the opinion written
by Justice John w. Eggleston that
I'VE think the trial court erred in
holding that the sale of beer on
Sunday, in the case at bar, was, as a
matter of law, not necessity. in
the community served by the de-
PENDANTS business" The Legislature
did not intend that the sale of beer
should be halted on Sundays, al
though it gave communities the
right to prohibit it, the opinion
stated.

sented.

BY NORMAN A. KAHL.

Unlike sugar or gasoline rationing,
the fuel oil rationing program allows
no easy way for consumers to check
on whether they are getting the
share of oil to which they are en-
titled The method of computing
each ration is complicated and err
rors among ration board workers
are understandable.
The following method of working
out the oil rationing formula should
help consumers to check the allot-
ments granted them by their boards
with the ration which they are en-
titled to receive under the OPA pro-
gram:
To figure out how much oil you
should receive from your ration
board you will need two figures:
% The floor area, in square feet,
as you reported it in your fuel oil
rationing application, and (2) your
total consumption of oil last year,
also as reported in the application.
This Is How It's Done.
If you use oil to heat your water
as we'll as your home, you must
first separate the amounts of oil
used for each purpose. Under the
OPA formula this is done in the
| following manner: Allow 20 gallons
for the first person in the house
and S gallons for each additional
person for every month hot water
| &c t1cnI Add thnco q nuro ord
then deduct the sum from the total
oil used last year. Now:
l. Multiply the number of gallons
| of oil used solely for house heating
last. year by .773.
2. Divide the result by the total
floor area.
If the answer you get in Step
falls between GIG ano .804, then this
answer becomes your basic ration
per square foot. II it is higher than
.804, then your ration per square
foot is 1904. If it IS less than ,616,
then your basic ration per square
foot is either SIG per square foot or
98.6 per cent of last years house.
heating consumption divided by the
total number of square feet, which,
ever is smaller.
3. Now multiply the basic ration
per square foot by the total number
of square feet as reported on your
application. This will give you your
basic ration for your entire house.
Allowance for Children.
4. If you heat water, allow 20
gallons for the first person and five
gallons for each additional person
for each month hot water is used
Take two-thirds of this amount and
add the result to your basic ration.
5. If you have at least one child
under 4 in the house. allow an
additional IS gallons of oil.
Your total ration for the season
will be the sum of the basic, ration,
plus the hot water allowance, plus
the children's allowance. From this
you must deduct whatever oil you
reported you had on hand when
you filed your application-either as
of October l or on the date you sent
in your application If it was sent in
after November /.
Check Estimate Carefully.
Check your computation carefully.
Then compare it with the value Of
the coupons that nave been given
YOU These coupons are issued in
specific denominations totaling so
gallons and in unit denominations
for the remainder OF the allotment.
The units now are worth 10 gallons
each and will continue to hold this
value at least until January 4. After
that, the OPA may decide to change
the unit value either upward or
downward.
II your own calculation Is accu.
