ment will be planned to afford the

SpOrtsmen's Club News

The Rising Sun Sportsmen's meet
ing on March 8, 1913, in the Fire
house, at which time some lucky
person will receive twenty-five
dollar War Bond, given away by
the Club.
There has been some adverse re-
marks directed against this small
club, by a few, who don't under
stand the situation. They claim the
club wastes powder and lead that
could be used by the armed forces,
but the reason the Government
doesn't recall these shells is because
the cost of retaining the powder
and shot amounts to more than the
manufacture of new.
If these critics would form a
Salvage Committee, the Club has
quite an amount of brass, they
would gladly give to them or if any
one knows to whom we can give it,
please notify any member.
This small non-profit Club, with
limited means, has made liberal do
nations to the Aircraft Warning
Service, the Red Cross, and the Fire
Company, and has decided to put
all available cash into the purchase
of War Bonds.

Declares Pleas
ure Driving Ban
Only Temporary

Assurance that the ban on pleas
ure driving in the Eastern States is
only a temporary measure has been
given to the American Automobile
Association according to announce
ment by Mr.. G. M. Falconer, Presi-
dent of the Automobile Club of
Maryland, and director of the ma
tional motoring body, just released.
while willing to comply with
whatever restrictions were neces-
sary to further the war effort de-
clared Mr.. Falconer, many motor
lists got the impression that the ban
was for the duration of the war.
Realizing the implications of such
thinking, President Henry of the A..
"A, asked the Office of Price Ad-
ministration to clarity the Govern
ment's intent and as result we are
able to assure the motorist of two
things: (a) that the ban is tenn
porary, and (b) that it is the pur-
pose of the Government to restore
coupon values in the Eastern States
as soon as petroleum supply per-
mits.
Paul M. O'Leary, Deputy Admin
istrator of the O.P.A. in Charge of
Rationing, said
at is the intention of this office
to procee donly against the wilful
violations of the order /. it would
be most unfortunate if people who
will need their cars should dispose
of them or neglect them this winter
You can assure your members
that the pleasure ban is temporary
and will be lifted as soon as the
supply situation permits

Bridge To
Spesutia Island

ton across Spesutia Narrows by the
War Department, to permit access
from the Proving Ground to Spe-
sutia Island. The island has been
leased by the government from J. p.

diver estate. The owners retain use
of the large club house and the
ducking privileges around the shor-
es of the island.
The new bridge will be at the
head of the Narrows. The water at
this point is so shallow in spots that
navigation is dangerous.
The bridge will have clearance
of ten feet above the water. with q
span of fifteen feet, which will per-
NIT small boats to use the channel
