Civic Meetings
Included Under
Driving Ban
Montgomery County
Groups Get New
Ruling From StudIer

Meetings of civic groups in Mont
gomery County are included in the
non-essential driving ban under a
recent ruling made by the Ofice of
Price Administration, Julian p.
Stadler, county rationing admin
istrator, announced today.
Mr.. Stadler had previously ruled
that members of civic groups could
use their cars to go to meetings, but
new OPA ruling holds that meet
ings Of this type are in the non-
essential class. The Montgomery
County administrator said he was
informed of the new ruling yester-
day.
The new ruling bans driving to all
meetings unless they are connected
with the drivers profession, with
training others for war work, or
unless they are religious services,
Mr.. Stadler said.
Other Meetings Banned.
"Other types of meetings" the rul-
ing says, "even though they promote
social welfare or civic good, cannot
be included as essential trips in view
Of the acute petroleum shortage"
This will result in curtailing the
use of cars for attending the func-
tlons of various clubs and organiza-
tions that perform useful services to
the community and war effort. But
the sacrifice of convenience by those
who are engaged in such organized
activities will itself make real con-
tribution to winning the war, since
it will save our vital supplies of Pc
troleum," the OPA odds.
Rule Explained.
Car owners may drive to meetings
directly relating to their jobs, but
only If attendance is essential to, OF
part OF their profession, he explained
further; to religious services, and to
meetings conducted to train person.
mel for emergencies and make other
preparation for emergencies involv-
ing a threat to life, health or prop
erty.
The ruling will not affect meetings
for training civilian defense workers
Mr.. Stadler stated.
Joseph B. Matre, president of the
Montgomery County Civic Fedora
ton, when told of the ruling last
night, said be would confer with the
Executive Committee to determine
what action will be taken. The next
meeting of the federation is sched-
uled for February 8.
