CContinued from Page D Opera House were missing last night. One woman arrived in a limousine. She was put in a wheel chair and pushed inside. Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuardia arrived in a taxicab and was greeted by police men he had detailed to see that there was no pleasure driving to the opera.
 Many, however, were more con- cerned with keeping warm than with the curtailment of pleasure driving.
 School officials were considering shutting down schools for a week, beginning February 1, as a fuel oil conservation measure. Students would make up the lost time prob- ably by not having an Easter vaca- ton.
 Dr. John E. Wade, superintendent of schools, announced that 52 schools heated by oil would stop all after-school and weekend activi- ties. The schools will turn off their oil burners at p. m. daily, and get along on the steam already in pipes and boilers until p. m.
 City officials ordered Staten Is- land ferries which consume 45 per- cent of the fuel oil allotted to municipal services, to reduce their schedules.
 Most of the churches in New York had converted or reported they were converting their oil-burning equipment to coal.

Turkeys Assured
For OuerSeas Vets

JERSEY CITY, N. j., Nov. 18-
Some 100000 pounds of turkey
were purchased during the pre-
Thanksgiving "freeze" for the holi-
day dinners of American service
men overseas.
Another II ,O00, 900 pounds will be
bought during the regular season
for men in camps in the United
States, but service requirements are
not expected to keep turkey off
civilian tables this Thanksgiving
and Christmas.
The Army Quartermaster depot
here estimates that the 1,150 tons
scheduled for Army, Navy, Marine
and Coast Guard consumption are
only eight per cent of the countrys S
total supply.
The freeze of civilian sales during
the months preceding the big turkey
season was necessitated by the fact
that comparatively few turkeys
reach maturity before the biggest
buying season rather than by a
scarcity of the holiday bird.
Only eight to 16 pound turkeys
have been purchased for service
requirements-assuring tender and
we'll favored accompaniment to the
sauce and pumpkin pie
which will appear also on holiday
menus from Iceland to Guadalcanal.
