an excess three-gallon coupon may
feel that he is committing no seri-

that those three gallons, used for
non-essential driving, will one day
be denied to a man who required

The motorist who estimates his

the excess coupons to his board.

Gasoline Program Continues

Gasoline Program Continues
The broad campaign to tighten
up usage of gasoline will continue
without letdown, according to Her
man Erickson, district mileage ra-
tioning representative of the OPA.
NEARLY all people, we believe,
now realize that it is up to them
whether the present civilian gaso-
line ration allowances are to be
preserved. That accomplishment
depends upon our ability to stay
within the civilian quota, and,
even then, well feel the pinch be-
cause of increasing military de-
mand," Mr.. Erickson said.
Ration Token Demonstration
The OPA announces that dem
onstration of the use Of the new
ration tokens, which go into effect
on Feb. z, has convinced more
than 200 key Chicago retailers and
40 representatives Of consumer
groups in that city, that the new
food token plan works. Tokens,
used with the new 10-point blue
and red ration stamps, reduce the
time required for buying ration
food by SO percent. ..
Representatives of the trade VINO
saw the demonstration were en-
thusiastic and endorsed the simpli-
fled token plan 100 percent. They
were delighted with the prospect
that sorting and counting of ration
stamps under the new plan will be
cut so percent; and were pleased
with the speed-up in store traffic
and with the prospect of being
able to give more efficient service
to HOUSEWIVES.
Gasoline Supplies
C. book holders, farmers and
other essential users are warned
that the question of whether they
will continue to get gasoline with
out difficulty is in a large degree
up to themselves. The Pacific
Coast has been using more than
its quota Of gasoline and the result
has been periodic gas famines.
In many instances essential users,
holding valid coupons, have been
unable to get gasoline.
This condition will continue, and
will get increasingly worse, unless
those to whom extra privileges
have been granted cease the prac-
tice of giving away, or selling,
coupons not needed by them. It
would be foolhardy to claim that
OPA or any other group, could

times these, when boys are facing their most
crucial weeks and months ahead that the part we
play in buying Bonds is trivial compared to their

Far from trivial our home-front tasks today
more important than ever.
Encouraged by the example of what united

 Four Allied arInies-the American First, Third and Seventh and the British Seeond-were driving the final miles up to the German from tier preparatory to final offensive into the Reich, soon to be opened somewhere along the b0o-mtle Dor. der stretch between Switzerland and northern Holland.

City's Third Reservoir And
 Dam Are Formally Accepted

YtHt9rni1Ey'A V FBEAtFH FcbeENuHp NttAfA and ell appuFtenaiit work were fof- inaily accepted by the Board oi Works ct aTi adjourned meeting held yesterday. City Engineer Charles A, Root recommended acceptance in Q formal announcement of comple. ton of the project which was started in 1042 and was supposed to have been fnished in the fall of that year. The board voted approval and acceptance. The project has been the subject of criticism during the past year, due to the delays.
 Built by the L. c. Defeliee com. pany of New Haven, the reservoir adds Q capacity Of l,44o, 900, 900 gal. Ions to the city's elaborate water system. There is an earth dam with on impervious earth core, aS well aI c concrete spillway and gatehouse located ct the eastern side of the reservoir.
 Water from the reservoir Is not being used for domestic conSump- ton at the present time, but ultl- fnately will be tbe source of the high. service pipeline, which wai built prior to the new reservoir. Thii line was placed in operation on August 22, l042, and consists of ia miles of 42.inch, 36-inch, 30-inch 24-inch and 20-inch reinforced con- crete pipe. It has been in constant operation since and has enabled Waterbury to supply the water needs of it's many war industries, which otherwise could not have been taken care of by the low service pipeline which was put in service back in 1895.
 At present water from Pitch res- ervoir is being used to drive the pumps which boost water from the Morris reservoir i0B feet to the high service pipeline,
 Thee pumps (three in ruTnber) are in the clty's new chlorine and control station and are Of the water turbine driven type with capacity of i6,S00, 900 gallons per day, All chlorinatlng equipment for the high service pipeline IS also within this structure. Another chlorlnating plant, modern in every detail, Is site lated below the Wigwam dam and treats al water sent to the city through the low service pipeline.
