N0N-R0AD GAS
RATI0NS ISSUED

The New Hanover War Price and
Rationing board has been author
lied to issue siX-month gasoline
rations for non-highWay use en-
farms in installmerts rather than
all at one time as in the past,
it was announced Thursday.
Mainly because of the Difficult
ty of predicting weather over long
periods, officials said, estimates
of farm gasoline requirements,
which are dependent to an i'm.
portant degree on weather condi-
tons, for six-month periods can
not be exact. Actual needs often
have turned out to be mucn less
than estimates. The resultant over
issuance of gasoline rat;ons has
led to diversion of many of the
extra" coupons to improper chan
nels.
Issuance of rations in install
ments will permit the board to re.
vise its original estimate, and thus
VIII serve to prevent over-issu-
ance. At the same time it will
help the farmer to budget his
gasoline consumption.

but for the greedy" The vote was
299 to 95.
The Senate is expected to cap
the rebellion tomorrow by also
overriding the veto and enacting
the bill into law.
In neither Senate caucus nor the
House was there any move to soft
en- the rebuff to the President al
though Barley did speak of his
deepest personal affection" for
Mr.. Roosevelt.
But with the rebuke administ-
cred, both Barley and Rep.
Doughton (D.-N.C), who led the
House revolt, were ready to turn
to softened words.
Doughton, 80-year-old chairman
of the House Ways and Means
Committee who parted company"
with Mr.. Roosevelt, on the veto,
told reporters after the House
vote:
II entertain no ill will toward
anyone. So far as I am concerned
the President and 1 are still
friends. l desire to work and CO.
operate tremendously with every
one where such cooperation is de-
sirable and necessary"
Barley told the President you
have my utmost confidence and
affection" and declared, II want
you to know that faith in
you enoures in me today and will
continue to endure because I have
recognized in you a spokesman OF
the people whose chief desire was
to advance their welfare and their
happiness.
The President had appealed last
night to Dear Alben' to recon
slider his resignation but the Ken
tuckian insisted on going through
! with it.

how important their marriages
really are.
1t wasn't that Mary and Bill
were no longer in love when the
war came along. They still loved
each other. But they had grown
so used to what they had, so sure
of security and of each other, they
were on the verge of becoming
bored with the whole idea.
An they the war came along
and separated them, and it didn't
take long for both to realize that
their marriage and the way of life
they had built together was the
most important thing they had.
FREEDOM LOSES FLAVOR
And it didn't take long for them
to. find out just how much each
depended on the other for COM
partnership and understanding,
and how satisfactory freedom is
once you've become used to being
both dependent and depended
upon.
Bill and Mary will go back into
marriage with a new appreciation
for each other and for their way of
life, and it isn't likely that any
thing ever will make either of
them consider a divorce.
So while the postwar world
may see many hasty war mar
riages ending in divorce, as the
experts predict, there are sure to
be many marriages that never get
anywhere near the divorce courts
simply because the war mas
showed the husbands and wives
just how important their mar
riages really are.
