CONCERNING GAS

A wire from the Roanoke Dis
trict office Of the War Price and
Rationing Board informs the To-
cal office that the rs per cent
cut in A, B, and c coupon -oc
gasoline rati~ mig will and must
stay in effect. According to the
rationing board here, the idea
prevails that the Is per cent cut
in gasoline would be refunded to
vehicle operators, but it was stat
ted that this was very unlikely.
The telegram follows:
Roanoke Va, Jan. 8-43

1t is urgently necessary that
the rs pct. cut in gasoline ra-
tioning stay in effect. Many ap-
plicants are requesting addition

plications FIR addit: onal gallon

ate action.

was full of his letter and his War

get into the Army, couldn't I, Pop?
Gee, Pop, I want to be soldier
like brother and fight in this war.
Gee, isn't that bond nifty? Look, it
was issued in Honolulu. It's mine"
But Pop was looking at Nom and
Nom was looking at Pop. There
were tears in MONS eyes. She
shook her head sharply. Pop
reached out and patted her hand
gently
"Wcn, can't let our soldier boy

She shook her head again. II

locking at her and spoke sharply.

Small Joe folded his hands and
bent his head as he had been taught.
