OWNERS OF MOTOR
BOATS PENALIZED
Two Lose Ration Book
Privileges Following OPA
Hearing Here

Use of gasoline to propel mo-
tor boat was out-ruled by the OPA
which Saturday stopped ration
privileges of two residents of the
Waterbury area who appeared in
the common pleas court to answer
charges of violating the ban on
nom essential driving. Two other
cases also were disposed of at the
session conducted by Comsr. Will
liam Beers of New Haven who pre-
sided in the absence of Walter w.
Smyth, local hearing officer, who
was ON vacation.
Milton Smith of Lakeville, who
was found operating row-boat
equipped with an cupboard motor,
at Lake Wononscopomuc was pen
allied with a 3O-day suspension of
all gasoline rationing privileges. 1t
was pointed out the man does not
drive a car and that in effect he
will not feel the suspension unless
he should obtain a car and need
gasoline coupons.
A suspension of 30 days, with eX-
ecution of judgment suspended, was
also issued in the case of Nathan
w. Blodgett of Canaan who also
used motor boat. Examination of
his "a" ration book disclosed he
had no coupons left. Both men
pointed out their trips to the lake
did not involve the use of gasoline
Although stating that the charges
againSt them were not serious, MI.
Beers said," when people go around
without the use of their cars it burns
them up to see others operating mo-
torboats." He said such use is not
permitted even if the operator uses
the boat to fish for food, unless
he is licensed for that purpose.
George Norfelt of 68 Pearl street,
Waterbury, lost his "a" book gaso-
line rationing privileges until Sept
8, after evidence showed he had five
persons with him when stopped at
Savin Rock. The accused driver
who was represented by Attorney
Ralph Coppetto, claimed he had
gone to New Haven to look for a
rent and while there decided to stop
off att he amusement resort. He
was allowed to retain his occupa-
tional driving coupons.
Josephine Gangi, Winsted nurse
testified she did not know that her
brother had taken ther car and had
driven to a lake. The driver is now
in the armed forces, it was pointed
out, and the commission imposed a
3O-day suspension, with execution
suspended, however. The apprehcn-
sion occurred a few days after the
ban was announced, it was stated.
