Urges Cut In
Labor Day Travel

Stay off trains and inter-city buses
over Labor Day week-end-this is
the plea of Joseph B. Eastman, di-
rector of the Office of Defense
Transportation Mr.. Eastman, in
asking the public to spend Labor
Day weekend at home, said that
failure to follow this advice might
result in travel congestion worse
than that experienced over the
Fourth of July weekend. Mr.. East
man pointed out that transportation
equipment formerly available for
holiday travel is now in troop SER
vice or used to handle the greatly
expanded military and essential CT
william traffic.

Ration Board Will
Exchange Coupons
Office Open Extra Hours To
Exchange B, C Gas Coupans

The present B and c gasoline ra-
ton books and coupons are value
less after September l and must be
exchanged before that date for the
new books and coupons now being
issued. The exchange affects hold
ers of B and c books only and in
no way concerns holders of A books.
In order to facilitate the exchange
of the old style coupons for the new
ones, Chief Clerk Thomas Bittle
announces that the office, in addi-
ton to being open at the regular
hours 9 a. m. to ! p. n1.---will also
be open tomorrow (Friday) even
ing from 4 till 8, and again next
Monday evening from Z till 9. II
There Is no red tape about the
exchange. All the motorist has to
do, is to take his or her B and C
ration book down to the ration
board office at Is North Locust
street, hand it across the counter to
one of the clerks on duty and re-
ceive in exchange the new type
book, containing exactly the same
number of gas coupons that was in
the book turned in.
War workers and others who re-
ceive their B and C gas ration
books through transportation COM
mittee in the plant in which they
are employed will receive full in
structioons from their transporta-
ton committee on how o proceed.
Persons working in such plants
where they must be certified by a
transportation committee must not
visit the ration Office to exchange
their books.

Jobs To Guide
Father-Draft

After October when drafting OF
fathers begins, those in non-defer-
able activities or occupations, re-
CARELESS of their order numbers,
will be the first fathers called for
military service. Those who trans
fer to essential occupations and thus
release single men for military ser
vice help to decrease the need for
drafting fathers. Generally speak
ing, after October l, the occupation
of an eligible registrant will deter
mine whether he will be indicted
or deferred if his number is called.
However, the question of hardship
to dependents must be given con-
sideration in each case.

Motorists Asked To
Cooperate By AAA

A strong appeal to motorists in
Hagerstown was issued by Earl H.
Howard, Branch Manager of the Ha-
gerstown Branch of the Automobile
Club of Maryland today, urging
their wholehearted cooperation in
the ban on non-essential driving
and other gas-saving measures until
the ban is officially lifted.
I'VE motorists have been promised
that the ban will be lifted on Sep
TENDER / and that restoration of
coupon values to a level with other
sections of the country will follow
shortly thereafter" Mr.. Howard
said. However, the date when re-
lief can be given to motorists in the
Eastern area is dependent upon the
extent to which they cooperate dur
ing the days Immediately ahead.
THE truth of the matter is that
gasoline stocks in the East are in
none too favorable position. There
are local shortage situations that
must be cleared up and there must
4 be a general overall improvement
in gasoline stocks to assure adequate
supplies for the armed forces before
officials can afford to ease up on re-
Strictions
'This ban on non-essential driving
has been an on-again, off-again
proposition that has driven motor
lists nearly to distraction and is
very difficult of enforcement 1t is
headache to motorists, who arr
never exactly sure whether they are
violating the intent of the regula-
ton, and to officials who must deal
with wide variety of driving pur-
poses not precisely covered by reg
ulations. Everyone would like to
see the ban removed, but in practice
the ban has saved gasoline where
other measures have not, and as a
matter of cold realism, it must be
maintained until our stock position
is at place where easing of re-
strictions become practicable.
Accordingly, the promptness
with which the ban can be lifted
and coupon values restored depends
to large extent upon the srate of
consumption during the days i'm
mediately ahead. It will depend,
also, on the extent to which coupon
reductions in sthe Midwest and
Southwest are successful in reducing
consumption and making available
additional supplies for the East
Coast.
'The transportation problem, Off
Gals declare, has been whipped The
East Coast shortage situation is
temporary in character But A.A.A.
headquarters in Washington assure
us that it is still a very real prob
lem-almost desperate in some areas
and that we must hold consump-
ton to a minimum if we are to 1Csek
for relief within the next week
two.
Therefore, the Automobile Club
of Maryland is joining with A.AA
headquarters in urging that all mo-
florists cooperate intellectually
with the non-essential driving ban
for the next few weeks until re-
scinded by official action The ban
has been with us for a long time
now, and the majority of motorists
have shown high degree of coop
Grafton. Let us continue that coop
Grafton, and not give Washington an
EXCUSE for delaying the date of do
ing away with the ban and restor-
ing the greatly deprecated value of
our gasoline coupons.

How do you like making pic
tures?" I asked veteran Stage Ac-
tress Grace George.
That's like asking someone on
a steamer who has just reached
quarantine how do you like New
York;" replies the fortnight Miss
George. In other words, she doesn't
know yet.
Miss George is playing the faded
per in small American city Of 1906
in "McLeod's Folly" The story, as
described by Co-Star James Gag
ney, is about an old lady who owns
a newspaper and who gets into
trouble and bum who's a newspa-
perman comes along and helps her
out. I watch Miss George play her
first scene in her first picture, and
I warn Cagney, shell steal the
picture from you"
Let her." says Jimmy, who can
afford to be generous.
my one fear Miss George tells
me sincerely, "is that I'll spoil the
picture" Afterwards I'm told by
Cagney that she really means this,
and that in spite Of her many years
as front-ranking actress, she has
an inferiority complex about her
work that is mile long"
"You see." continues Miss George,
Il like both Mr.. Cagneys so much.
And this is their first production on
their own and it's my first picture,
and, oh, dear, hope don't spoil
it for them"
X X X
It's discerning of Miss George to
like the Cagneys, William and
James, who are now in picture busi-
ness for themselves with a release
through United Artists. Jimmy
started 13 years ago with Warner
Bros. in an epic titled, Sinners
Holiday" with Joan Blondell.
Brother Bill has managed and acted
as producer for Jimmy in his re-
cent successful films for Warmers,
including the academy award win
ner, Yankee Doodle Dandy"
The boys will make probably two
pictures a year, with Bill taking
care of finances, etc, and Jimmy
sticking strictly to acting. At the

calm and kindly. William lost his

who seemed more doomed than al
most any other actor to play color
less characters. Now people can
stop asking: What Is his name
AGAIN?
That is Henry Travers.
Speaking of Goth Century Fox,
it merely laughed tolerant laugh
when this department credited "The
Young Mr.. Pitt" to M.-G.-M. in its
review last Friday.
The only justification for it is that
Robert Donat and Robert Morley,
the two leading figures in the pic
ture, used to appear in M.-G.-M.
pictures. That, of course, is no rea-
son to suppose that they always must
go on doing 1t. If actors and ac-
tresses never changed employers,
Greta Garbo would still be bar
ber's assistant and Gary Cooper
would be a cowboy, etc.
So, The Young Mr.. Pitt" almost
too suave and clever to be appre-
ciated, was distributed by 10th Gen.
tury-Fox.
1t still is not as good a mistake
as that made by Betty Hines, who
once shredded picture only to have
the press agent call her later and
remark in cruel reprisal: But you
might at least have got the title
right
Port of Shadows" was It's right
name. She called it Port of Miss
ing Men" It snened just as un-
sweet by either name, Betty said.
People with the fixed notion that
summertime Is vacation time In spite
of the effort TO spread vacations
over the year, ought to be Earle
Roxyettes for a while. They would
learn.
The Roxyettes, who do four, five
or sometimes six, shows a day, seven
days week, snatch mass vacations
on the fly any time the chance
comes along. That is not very often,
but starting Friday they will get
their first layof as group in six
months. 1t will be brief, merely
for the duration of Ina Ray Hutton's
band on the stage.
BY twos, the girls get a week off
every eight weeks, but that is not
the same thing as a mass vacation.
Addenda: What with "It's Up to
YOU" Government sponsored and

Gene Marvey, the young baritone
who helped the glitter of Sigmund
Romberg's concert here last week,
has been booked for the Earle pro-
gram starting April %. And
later, the same theater may offer
Marie Nash, with whom Marvey
sang some of the most colorful duets
on the Romberg program. :.
