Lane of Trees to Be Planted
Honorinq Montgomery Soldiers

gested by Mrs. Hewitt as the name
for the e-bordered road. She
said, however, that it is not to be
considered a memorial for the war
dead, but, rather, living symbol to
honor the men who are taking part
in this war.
when they come back to Silver
Spring after the war we want them
to see the lane, dedicated in memory
of their sacrifices and heroism," I"
Mrs. Hewitt said.
The idea of planting the trees
originated recently at meeting at
Mrs. Hewitt's home of a group of
wives, mothers, sisters and sweet
hearts of the members of the Service
Company of the old National Guard
and at that time sum was raised
to begin the project.
Many of the men are now on for
eign duty and have been transferred
to other companies. Mrs. Hewitt
has three sons overseas and a fourth
son in service in this country.
Persons who would like to donate

Gas Ration Renewals
Completed by Mail
By Arlington Board
10000 B and c Books
Sent Out; Late
Applications Delayed

Arlington County Ration Board
officials announced last night that
renewal of 10000 B and c gasoline
books by mail had been completed,
except for a few delayed or ques-
tionable cases. The Arlington board
was the first in Northern Virginia
to reissue the gasoline books
through the mails.
Renewal applications that came
in late or without tire inspection
records have been delayed, officials
said, as well as applications by per-
sons who do not carry passengers
and who have not shown good cause
for not carrying any.
System Begged Down.
The mailing-out system begged
down near the end of April, j. May
nard Magruder, chairman of the
board, said, because applicants in
sisted on coming to the board at
the rate of 600 day, although the
program was being handled by mail
and there are only II paid clerks
for approximately 100000 popula-
ton.
"Our volunteers have done a
heroic job" Mr.. Magruder said,
but no group can maintain speed
and efficiency when forced to handle
600 persons a day on open days,
and then must write up 1000 books
on closed days."
He emphasized that the mailing
system, inaugurated to save gas,
tires and man hours, would not be
attempted again unless the gaso-
line division could be closed except
for emergency cases of sickness or
death.
Responsibility on Applicant.
Persons whose books expire during
May, not heavy issuance month,
are requested either to write in
for renewal, enclosing tire inspec-
ton records, 10 days before expira-
ton date, or to come in with tire
records on open days. Mr.. Ma
gruder urged that they do not do
both.
Our inability to obtain adequate
space or paid personnel imposes a
heavy responsibility on every ap-
plicant in the necessity for fulfill
ing all requirements of the board"
he said LAS Price Administrator
Prentiss Brown pointed out recently,
the success or failure of this effort
relies on voluntary cooperation"
Local meat retailers are required
to register inventories between now
and May II during regular hours on
Tuesdays, Thursdays or Saturdays,
officials said.
Restaurant or boarding house own
ers have until Wednesday to mail
in menus for the period of April
through April 10. Menus should
bear the name of the establishment
and the signature of the owner.
