Montgomery Ration
Boards 7, ; Set New
Schedule OF Hours
Night Sessions Will Be
Closed to Public After
Jonuoryl

Montgomery County War Price
and Rationing Boards 2 and today
announced a new schedule of hours.
Beginning January 1S, the public
will not be admitted to night ses-
sions. The boards will be open to the
public from 9 am. to 8 pm. daily
except Wednesday, when they will
be closed all day.
The two boards serving the Be-
thesda-Chevy Chase and the Silver
Spring Park areas, have
been open several nights each week,
but officials said most of the work
transacted then could be performed
by mail or during the day.
Experience has shown, it was
stated, that the time used in argu-
ing with one petitioner could be
utilized in processing three or more
papers of persons who had written
their applications.
Ask Halt in Visits.
The boards also have decided to
ask the public not to visit the Offices
unless the board has requested a
personal visit from the petitioner.
Board personnel will concentrate on
processing mailed applications and
answering written queries rather
than caring for persons who visit
the board
1t was pointed out that there is
no need for visiting or telephoning
the board concerning applications.
They will be handled in order and
much more quickly under the new
system. At present the regular
clerks and volunteer workers use
most of their time answering ques-
tions on the telephone.
When the applicants book is ready
for issuance a post card will be
mailed informing him or her that
it is ready. The card should be
brought to the Office for the book.

tually has to visit the board, since
the number of the rationing book
must be placed on the registration
card, it was pointed out.
Appeals Handled by Mail.
Appeals from board decisions will
be handled by mail. Persons can
write to the board and request a re-
view. 1t will be necessary to ap-
pear before the board only if a per-
sonal visit is requested to establish
some fact.
Applicants are requested to read
blanks thoroughly and to fill In all
required information. Many persons
have received less than they were
entitled to because they failed to
mention important items.
The new policy was adopted at a
joint meeting of the boards this week
and announced by Judge Charles M
Irelan, jr., chairman Of the Silver
Spring board, and Jack S. Eaton,
chairman of the Bethesda Chevy
Chase board.
The board at Rockville will con-
tinue to maintain its present hours:
Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays,
9 am. to ,4:30 pm, and Tuesdays
and Thursdays, 8 am. to 8. pm. 1t

Cattle Grubs Controlled

These pests are the young stage
OF the heel fly. They usually appear
on the backs of cattle about this
time of the year and cause con-
siderable irritation by cutting holes
in the hide. If grubs are present the
treatment of cattle with a powder
made by mixing one part per cent
rotenone content derris or cube
powder and two parts of wittable
sulphur is recommended. Apply to
the backs of the animals from a

Substitute for Steamed Bonemeal

Thoroughly steamed bonemeal is
not always available for use in max
ing mineral mixtures for hogs, says
Ellis V. Vcstal, animal husbandry
extension specialist of North Caro-
lima State college. When it is not
available. he says, mixture of 10
pounds of ground limestone and two
pounds of salt may be used. If it is
available, use 10 pounds of ground
limestone, 10 pounds of steamed
bonemeal, and five pounds of salt.
Minerals should be placed where the
hogs can have free access to it. but
should be kept dry.

Fuel Oil Sk0rtacc

The present fuel oil shortage will
last the duration. Now the shortage
which requires ratlonine in 20 states
is due to transportation difficulties,
but an actual shortage of fuel itself
is forescen by government petroleum
experts. The campaign to induce
homeowners to convert to coal is
nationwide in proportion. Now the
campaign is voluntary, but may lat
er be compulsory. Coal is the most
plentiful and economical fuel.
