being totally without fuel when the
present rations are gone.
Appeals for additional allowances
will be handled by ODT district
offices on the priority basis set up
by WPB. Farm truck operators
may bring their appeals to the farm

Boards.
Issuance of third quarter T rations
in the East. which normally would
have been made in the last two
weeks of June, will be held off until
the middle of July, OPA said. These
are the rations to become valid

country issuance of third quarter r
rations will be handled as previously
announced, none of the allowance
will be valid in the shortage area
until July 26. Operators of trucks
and buses running into the East
must spread out that fuel purchased
in the shortage area the same as
those who operate wholly in the
area.
Farmers Get Preference.
Decision to cut T rations followed
week of conferences between ODT
and OPA officials during which, it
was said, ODT insisted that neces-
sary savings of gasoline be made by
further reducing allowances to mo-
torists holding A, B and C books.
OPA refused to make such a move,
however, contending that all waste
had been eliminated from these
cards and further curtailment would
result in crippling essential move
ment and in possible shutdown Of
war plants.
Petroleum Administrator Ickes,
meanwhile, notified gasoline dealers
in the East that they must meet
the demands of farmers for. nom
highway use Of gasoline before SELL
ing fuel for non-agricultural or

farm requirements must be met,
adding that the dealer can demand
from his supplier preferred replace

which he has delivered to farmers"

DRAFT CONTINGENT
CHECKS CALENDAR
First Local Group Sent to
Fort Devens Three Years
Ago Today

1t is three years today since the
first boys from Waterbury answered
the draft call, and the contingent,
IA strong, all volunteers, began
training at Fort Devens.
The boys had been the toast Of
the town, with farewell parties,
handshaking, ETC., the order Of the
day. Crowds of friends and well
wishers followed them to the steps
of the city hall where they listened
to words of advice from the late
Mayor Vincent A.. Scully, and some
even road with them on the bus
trip to Hartford.
OF that first IA, most are still
stationed in camps about the coun-
try, while two are overseas, some
have returned to civilian life, and
one has not been located.
Sergeant Daniel Gugliotti, who
was the captain of Board 15-A's
quota on that day is now serving at
Fort Eustis, Va, where he has re-
fused an offer of q medical dis
charge. Sergeant Gugliotti was the
victim Of an eye injury, which made
him ineligible for officers training
just as he was about to enter Off
ser's candidate school. While in

Wartime Religious
Service Emphasized
10 Great Religious Bodies Uniting Throughout Amer
lea in Annual United Church Canvass

that because these religious groups
are rendering greater service, that
they are being supported more gen.
erouSly. In some cases this Is true
On the whole, however, the increase
in giving Is very slight. Attendance
in large cities, especially those en-
gagged in armament production, has
taken a serious drop. Young people
seem to have too many other inter-
ests, in their free time, to give at
tention to the church.
It becomes a critical matter when
America cannot find time to sup
port her religious institutions in
person. America was founded upon
the principles Of true religion. The
moral strength of America has
come from her churches and syna-
gogues. Americas ideals and vision
are composed very largely Of the
things of the spirit. 1t would be
tragedy indeed if having fought
and won the battle for religious
liberty-we do not take advantage
Of 1t here at home.
Last year the United Church
Canvass was tried throughout the
nation for the first time. What were
the results? A survey revealed these
facts: 1t resulted in % increased
church attendance, 90 cooperation
of laymen, 90 increased community
interest in church affairs, az good
will between local churches, 90
sharing Of common problems, co
cooperation of the finance COM
mittees of the churches, Cd a
spiritual revival of interdenomina-
tional unity and conservation, and
90 increased giving.
Although the United Church
Canvass is not primarily finan-
cial enterprise, churches In hun
dreds of communities have agreed
to conduct their own Every Men,
Der EnliStmentS for support of cur
rent expenses and world missions
during the period Of November 81
to December IL. In this connection
1t should be kept in mind that while
members of churches took the lead
ership in the National War Fund,
and contributed to it, the religious
institutions themselves were not in
cluded in this fund. They must
once again be supported in the
usual way-by giving directly to the
work of the local church or syna-
gogue.
We are aware Of the tremendous
cost Of war. We are beginning to
realize that peace also has a price.
The best peace machinery which
we have, or can ever hope to have,
is composed of churches and syna-
gogues the world over. Here Is a
mighty force of good will. Here IS
the assurance of a better postwar
world. The church of our choice
needs our financial support, but
more than that, it needs us. 1t needs
us in person! Attend next Sunday,
or on the day set for worship, the
church which best meets your spir-
itual needs. This IS the chief con-
Germ of the United Church Canvass

BY STANLEY I. sTUBER

Back of the thousands OF chap
lains who are doing heroic service
on all the fighting fronts of the
world, back of the Bibles being sup
piled to our service men, back of
many world relief programs, stand
the religious institutions of Amer
lea. Without them the new interest
in spiritual things has little founda-
ton. With them the postwar world
will have the chance to develop
once again morally and spiritually.
Beginning this week nineteen
great religious bodies, of all three
faiths-Roman Catholic, Protestant
and Jewish-are uniting to call to
the attention of every community
in America the wartime services of
religion. The campaign is called the
United Church Canvass. 1t Is
headed by many prominent Ameri-
can citizens. Charles E. Wilson, ex-
ecutive vice chairman of the War
Production Board, is chairman of
the Sponsors Committee. The
President of the United States has
endorsed it. The United Church
Canvass aims to bring, as one great
impact, the cause of religion before
the public during the period of Nov.
81 to Dec. IL.
In matters of human service the
religious forces Of the nation are
united. Although differing in creed
and in ceremony, they cooperate in
bringing relief to suffering human
ity. This is why it is possible for
them to conduct a united campaign
in this particular instance.
It must not be taken for granted

MEDICAL SOCIETY
TO SPONSOR PLAN
Offers Own Program on
Pre=Pair Surgical Care;
Clio Protests

As a committee representing the
Connecticut State Medical Society
met in New Haven yesterday after
noon and finally agreed on a de-
finite plan for prepaid surgical
care to be presented to the Societys
House of Delegates, two state G. L.
o. groups brought out their big
guns and leveled them on the doc
tors.
Robert E. Walkinshaw, chairman
Of the political action committee Of
the Fifth Congressional district, G..
I. o. charged that the state medi-
cal society plan was an attempt to
divert attention from the Wagner
Dingell-Murray social security bill,
while spokesman for the Con-
necticut Industrial Union Council
declared that the physicians had
placed the emphasis on the cash
producing actuarial factors of the
situation rather than on the real
needs of the people.
Spokesman for the G. T. o. claim
ed the doctors plan was for only
surgical benefits, while the Wagner
bill would provide for medical care
as well at a minimum of cost, par
ticularly to persons in the low in
come group.
