EARLY PURCHASE
OF FUEL URGED

Househe1ders, apartment and
business building owners and all
others needing fuel oil for coming
fall and winter months should lay
in supply now while deliveries
can still be made" George T.
Musselman, district manager Of
the Wilmington office of Defense
Transportation, said yesterday.
"The shortage Of tank cars,
scarcity of tank trucks and almost
total lack of heavy duty tires have
combined to create national
crisis in petroleum transporta-
tion," the DOT District Manager
said. Meanwhile military de-
mands for aviation gasoline and
other petroleum products are
mounting"
Military needs must come
first" Musselman declared. s'This
means that civilians who delay in
placing their orders for fuel oil
may find that deliveries cannot be
made because equipment is tied
up in handling military require
ments."
The Office of Price Administra.
ton has cooperated by issuing fuel
oil ration coupons earlier this year
the ODT official said.

that Joe says is true. A bachelor, he
was depressed over the death of his
mother and father, SO he decided to
end ii all.
Hanging, he thought, would be the
