Federal Workers Allowed
! Hours Off 10 Cast Ballots

Federal employees, who reside any
where but in the District, may be
absent two hours to vote on cleo
ton days. the Civil Service Com
mission announced yesterday.
The commission sent the follow
ing circular to all heads of depart
ments and agencies:
Mr.. William H. McReynolds. ad
ministrative assistant to the Presi-
dent, has approved the following
statement of policy respecting the
absence from work of employees OF
the Federal Government on cleo
ton days:
So far as may be practicable SC
as not to interfere seriously with
production, employees who desire tc
vote at communities where they are
employed will be excused without
charge for a reasonable time on
election days for that purpose Such
authorized absence should not ordi-
narily exceed two hours.
When an employe requests leave
Tor voting purposes which will re-
quire as much as day or longer
in order to enable him to go to his
legal residence to vote, permission
will be granted whenever prac-
ticable, and the period of absence
will be charged to annual leave or
if annual leave is exhausted, tt
leave without pay"
Evening star., 1943-10-31

No liquor will be sold to any per-
son who fails to produce a signed
War Ration Book No. 3, showing his
name, age and description.
Persons who did not live in the
county when they obtained their
No. 3 book must bring their No. 4
ration book showing their address is
in the county. Members of the
armed forces must obtain a certifi-
cate from their commanding officer
that they are residents of the county
or actually are stationed within it's
limits. They will be issued purchase
certificates by the liquor board.
The policy recently inaugurated
of selling whisky only on Tuesdays,
Thursdays and Saturdays will be
continued and the dispensaries will
be open from to pm. daily except
Sunday. On Mondays, Wednesdays
and Fridays only alcoholic beverages
other than whisky can be purchased.
Employees Warned.
No person will be permitted to
make a purchase with the war ra-
ton Book OF another. even for an
other member of his family, Mr.
English said. This primarily is to
avoid embarrassment for the en-
ployes, who might not be able to
identify the purchaser.
The new order states that any
employe found selling more than the
quota to any persons or selling with
out presentation of a ration book
may be summarily dismissed.
The purpose of the liquor dispen-
sary system is not to make money
Mr. English stated. Its primary
purpose is to control the orderly
of alcoholic beverages to
the residents of Montgomery County
The system could extend itself
and raise its sales to large figures,
but the board feels this would be in
violation of the spirit Of the dis
pensary system law. We are inter-
ested only in seeing that Mont
gomery County residents who wish
may obtain reputable brands OF
whisky at reasonable prices"
