arlington County Communities
Hostesses Engage in Busy Week
Planting Their Victory Gardens
Several Farewell Parties Given:
FeaU Small Lnnche0us and Dinners

Bridge tables gathered dust, table
tennis rooms were abandoned and
few party menus were planned as
erstwhile hosts and hostesses of Ar
lington County bent to the planting
Of Victory gardens the past week.
Always community of gardened
homes, Arlington now points with
new pride to neat rows of future
munitions of war behind the dense
hedges of its lovely old homes or
the hopeful hedges in the newer
sections. Even in the apartment
communities which have been built
to accommodate the spectacular in
crease in population in Arlington be-
cause of the new Government build
ings, small spaces have been cleared
where few plants can be raised
to help in the food situation.
A little time was taken from
gardening to give farewell parties
for several prominent Arlington resi-
dents who are going away, and a
few small luncheons and dinners
were given for out-of town visitors.
Among the parties given for the
Rev. and Mrs. A. Webster Horstman,
who are going to Varina parish in
Richmond May 3, was the farewell
reception Wednesday evening ar
ranged by the women of the Church
OF the Epiphany, of which Rev.
Horstman has been pastor for five
years. A program of music and
short talks preceded the serving Of
refreshments. The affair was at
tended by large number of friends
of Rev. and Mrs. Worstman, as we'll
as by the younger ones who came
to say good-by to their sons and
daughters, Edwin, Marilyn, Barbara
and Donaldson Horstman.
The Rev. Horstman, who is a
native of Arlington, prepared for the
ministry at the Virginia Theological
Seminary in Alexandria. He has
been a member of Epiphany Church
since boyhood and is the oldest
Episcopal minister in point of serv-
ice in Arlington County. Varnia
parish, of which he will be pastor,
was established in 1911 as one of
Virginia's Colonial parishes.
Several informal parties were
given during the week for Capt.
Joel H. Bowen, U. S. A., and Mrs.
Bowen, who, with Capt. Bowen's S
mother, Mrs. c. F. Bowen, and the
three children, Laura 10, Betsy and
Joel, jr., will leave next Sunday for
Salt Lake City, Utah. Salt Lake
City is the former home of Mrs.
c. F. Bowen and Capt. Bowen at
tended college there.

l5B-C HOLDERS
MUST APPEAR AT
RATION BOARD
To Report Monday Evening To
Explain Alleged Violations;
Others To Report Later

Because of apparent violations of
regulations on pleasure driving, the
local War Price and Rationing Board
has notified fifteen holders of "B"
and &c" ration books to appear before
the Board Monday evening to explain
reported violations, it was announced
this morning from the office of the
Board. The number was in addition
to others notified to appear later be-
fore special trial panel, date and
time to be set for hearing on charges
filed with the board No names were
released for publication.
w. o. Davis. chief clerk, said this
procedure is in line with present regu-
lations for enforcing the present driv-
ing ban and when apparent violations
are reported by enforcement officers,
ETC., the ration holder is informed of
the complaint and requested to appear
for hearing on the charge filed. If
it is found that the ration holder has
IolIililICCtd tllt NIoldJloll CHdIpPul VI
if he fails to appear at the hearing,
he is mailed a written order and
copies are sent to the state and dis
trict offices.
The Board further called attention
! to the mileage cut in "B" gasoline ra-
tion books to a maximum of 300 miles
per month in this shortage area and
no additional mileage can be allowed
under any circumstances unless the
applicant is in preferred occupation.
"Under no circumstances may "B"
ration be issued as a Supplemental
ration more frequently than period
of every four (4) months In view of
this ruling holders of ''B" should use
their rations with extreme caution and
only for the purpose for which the
allotment was granted, it was stated.
The new CIT" gasoline coupon,
which replaces the present "T" cou-
pom, will become valid July %. The
Office of Price Administration ex-
poets the change in design to take up
slack mileage and remove potential
sources of black market gasoline.

motor vehicles now may be made every
5000 miles or every six months,
whichever occurs first, ODT has an
nounced. Previously, commercial We
