Gas And Fuel
Oil On Hand
To Mouth Basis

Petroleum Administrator Ickes
told special Senate committee
that the eastern seaboard's gasoline
and fuel oil supplies were on a
hand to mouth basis" and were
likely to continue in that status for
months to come. @
The first witness In an investi-
CATION of the petroleum shortage,
the petroleum administrators said
he had not felt justified In holding
out any hope in the relaxation OF
very necessary rationing OF gaso-
line" and could hope for only slight
easing In fuel oil quotas.
! when all Is said and done, he
testified, I'VE are living on a hand
to mouth basis and we are going to
continue on a hand to mouth basis.
Ickes said the new pipe line from
East Texas to Illinois, going into
operation Feb. 1, would help relieve
the ceituation, but petroleum de-
mands for the American forces in
north Africa were growing.
The sea haul across the Atlantic
from the east coast Is shorter and
safer than the route from Texas
gulf ports, he said, and consequently
the drain on eastern petroleum sup
plies Is large.
Ickes said he hoped a new 825
mile pipeline from Illinois to New
Jersey could be completed by June l.
This would deliver 100000 bar
rels daily to the East Coast, but he
said that military demands were ac-
celebrating and could be expected to
continue to climb. The War Pro-
duction Board is considering an
other pipeline from Texas to the
East Coast, he said, observing that
committee members need not be
surprised If a third line later were
suggested.
Reviewing the supply situation,
Ickes said eastern states demand
was running to 100000 barrels Of
oil daily, as against present trans
portatoin Of about 100000 bar
rels. Rail tank cars were wearing
out and IA per cent OF them now
were in the repair shop all the time,
he said.

Point Rationing will start in Feb
ruary for canned, bottled and froz-
en- fruits, vegetables and juices,
dried fruits and soups. This is the
rationing program that affects every
Individual in the United States and
the announcement was made In adj
vance so the public could learn the
system before the operation starts.
There is no justification for
boarding as all foods in the home
will have to be declared at the time
of rationing. Remember food is Inn
portant in war strategy. A soldier
eats 200 more than civilian. Our
men in Africa had to have 100 days
emergency food supply. The Russian
Armies are winning with American
foods. Point rationing guarantees
everyone at home his fair share of
rationed foods.
Registration for War Ration
Book No. Two will begin within
the next few weeks. The date will
be announced later.
Point rationing Is system Of ra-
tioning group of related or sim.
liar commodities which can be sub
stituted for one another in actual
use. Canned vegetables, for example,
are related commodities. Peas, spin
ach, asparagus or tomatoes could
easily be substituted for one anoth-
er in the daily diet. Thus, the point
system will be used In rationing
these commodities. The purpose of
point rationing Is to guarantee
everyone fair share Of scarce but
essential goods, while at the same
time giving everyone a variety Of
items from which to choose.
War Ration Book contains four
pages of blue stamps and four pages
red stamps. Each color will be used
for a different point rationing pro-
gram. Each page contains "a stamps
bearing letter and number. The
letters run from A to 2. The num-.
bers are either 8, s, 2, /. The num-

No Second Dish
Of Ice Cream

That second dish of ice cream
Johnny won't have this month will
provide butter for his sandwich in
stead.
The War Production Board for
the second consecutive month has
curtailed ice cream production In an
order limiting January output to
fifty per cent of the amount each
manufacturer made last October.
December production had been
cut to sixty per cent OF the October
output. Thus the order represented
a further one sixth curtailment.
The action, taken at the request
OF the Agricultural Department ito
further relieve the butter shortage,
applies as well to frozen custard,
milk sherbert, other frozen desserts
and ice cream mix.
Diaries will divert the milk and
cream saved by the order to butter
production in order to boltser fast
dwindling supplies.

Black Market
Moves Into
Your Home
BY IDA JEAN KAN

WE ARE apt 10 think Of the
black market as an established
place-like the old Speakeasy--
where Struggled stock is sold
Illegally TO a rather exclusive
clientele. But it isn't a place
as much as a transaction.
1t could operate right in your
own kitchen II rationed foods
are delivered without coupons
or more left than warranted by
the stamps surrendered. II could
be a rendezvous with an I'M
marked truck off the beaten
track or a little understanding
with the proprietor Of a store
where you have been trading
for years.
Maybe you would no more
deliberately take part in such a
transaction than YOU would fitch
coins from the church collection
box. But you might do it I'M
thinkingly. For example, a taxi
driver or a generous friend with
extra gas might ask. Gould
YOU use a little more gasoline ,"
Could you!
