Syrup Producers Not
Required to Obtain
License to Operate
State Forester Emphatic In Re-
futing Reports That Such Regu-
lati0ns Had Been Adopted

An emphatic statement that no
producer of maple sugar or syrup
would be required to take out a
license, either for $500 or for any
other amount, was made this week by
Joseph F. Kaylor, state forester, in a
letter to The Republican, in answer to
an editorial inquiry of two weeks ago.
A number of maple syrup produc-
ers in this county had been under the
impression that such regulation had
been made by the Board of State
Forests and Parks and in becoming
aroused they had attempted to OBJ
tain some definite information on the
subject.
Last week Senator B. l. Gender,
who is also member Of the Board of
State Forests and Parks, declared
that no regulations had as yet been
passed by the Board and that it was
not the intention to license maple
syrup producers. The letter from Mr..
Kaylor makes it emphatic. Mr.. Kay
lor added, "the only persons to be
licensed are out-of-statc buyers, who
are quantity dealers"
Mr.. Kaylor said he was sorry that
he had not seen the item in order to
have made an earlier reply. He de
clared:
Nothing is further from the desire
of the Department of State Forests
and Parks than to put any obstacle,
however slight, in the way Of Garrett
County owners Of sugar maple groves.
On the contrary, the Department is
anxious at all times to cooperate with
these owners in the extension and i'm
provement of their groves, and in
marketing their product at the high
est price
May | add that through its forest
fire control organization the Depart
ment cooperates with all Garrett
County landowners in the protection
of their properties, to ensure a free
flow to markets of the various timber
products the revenue from which is of
real importance to them. Only recent
ly, two pumper trucks have been as
signed to the county to augment cx-
listing fire fighting equipment"

New OPAOrder
Affects Farmers
Must Endorse All Il" And r.
Coupons Exchanged For
Gasoline

An OPA order now effective d.
reefs farmers to endorse all IF" and
"R" gasoline coupons they exchange
for gasoline. whether the exchange
takes place on their own premises or
at a filling station or bulk plant,
According to directions given, the
farmer is required to write his name
and address only once on each strip or
block of coupons handed to the seller
as unit, or on one coupon Of the
strip OF block. When coupons are pre-
scented separately, each coupon must
be endorsed.
The OPA has also announced plan
effective April | designed to seal off
one large source from which gasoline
ration coupons have been drained into
the black market, namely the 5-gallon
ar coupons issued to farmers and
other non-highway users.
This means that after April ! only
non-highway users who buy their
gasoline at bulk plants or authorized
filling stations, or who have it de-
livercd into storage tanks on their
own premises, will use "R' coupons,
while those who get their gasoline at
other retail outlets will use the one
gallon retail "E" coupon.
Farmers who buy most of their non
highway gasoline at filling stations
will have until April | to bring "R'
coupons into their local ration boards
to be exchanged for "Es."
For all motorists who expect to re-
ccivc new car license plates this
spring. the OPA says they should
nevertheless put their old numbers on
the gasoline ration coupons now in
their possession. When the new 1914
numbers are issued, motorists may
simply write the number on the cover
of their ration books. They are urged
not to change the endorsement on the
coupons themselves.

brought several inches of SANDY"
snow, followed by slcet, which formed
a heavy crust over what had already
fallen.
The date was just sin weeks from
February second, Grounding Day.
Ice formed on telephone and electric
wires and highway travel was exceed
ingly dangerous.
The temperature moderated Tuesday

ONE OF the motion picture in

to us in a film which opened at

The picture is mo Greater

is ineligible TO Americans be-
cause the Russian dialogue has
been removed and substituted with
a translation spoken by English
actors.
mo Greater Love" is the story
of Pasha, a happy wife and a
happy mother. When war is de-
clared Pasha's husband, a soldier
of the Red Army, leaves for the
front and PaSha takes up the
task of evacuating her fellow vii
layers 10 a spot out of the Ger
man line of advance.
She. however, has the miSfor-
tune in remaining behind to find
her dying husband among some
wounded soldiers who arrive from
the front just before a German
detachment takes over the village.
She also sees her small son
crushed beneath the treads Of an
enemy tank.

a public hearing, concluded that an
election could not fairly be held un-
less the previous contractual rela-
tions were extended pending the out

Australia Welcomes
Emigrants From U. s.,
Curtin Declares

Prime Minister John Curtin of
Australia declared today that his
country would welcome the immi-
grafton of United States citizens.
Mr.. Curtin arrived here yesterday
for conferences with American Of
ficials on the Allied war effort be-
fore proceeding to London to attend
the British Empire Conference Of
Prime Ministers.
1--WE would welcome couple of
hundred thousand United States
immigrants" he said at a press
conference at Blair House, where he
is living during his stay here -
Come at any time. We have the
room and opportunity"
Pointing out that American SOL
diers are marrying Australian girls,
Mr.. Curtin commented that the two
countries ought to call each other
in-laws."
The Prime Minister said that the
war in the Pacific is progressing ac-
cording to plan. He said the over
all strategy against the japanese
has not changed, and added: "And
I see no reason for changing it."
He said there were no Australian
troops in the Hollandia invasion an
nounced yesterday = Gen. MacAr-
thurs headquarters, but that the
Australian contribution before that
landing ''has been great"
Made One Request.
He said he had made only one re-
quest in his discussions this morn
ing with Government officials, and
that was to "carry on" the war to
a. successful conclusion. II re-
ceived an enthusiastic yes" he said
Mr.. Curtin said Australia believes
there should be an international
authority established to work out
postwar aviation policies, and in
dicated he believed joint supervis-
ion of air bases should be estab-
lished. He added that Australia was
quite ready for reciprocal policy
| of landing rights"
The Prime Minister predicted
there will be closer ties both be-
tween the Allied nations and be-
tween the members of the British
commonwealth. He observed that
nations could not fight against a
common peril and not have stronger
ties when the fight was won.
Accompanied by Wife.
Accompanied by Mrs. Curtin, the
Prime Minister arrived at Union
Station yesterday, where he was
greeted by Secretary of State Hull,
the British Ambassador and Lady
Halifax, Walter Nash, Minister from
New Zealand, and others. All in the
Prime Minister'S party, which in
cludes Gen. Sir Thomas Blamey,
commander in chief of the Allied
ground forces under Gen. Douglas
Macarthur, are guests at Blair
House.
This afternoon Mr.. Curtin is to
confer with Mr.. Hull. Tonight he
will be the guest of honor at recep-
ton at the Australia Legation.
It was not certain whether Mr..
Curtin will see President Roosevelt
during his stay here. The President
still is out of Washington.

British dominion, Peter Fraser of
New Zealand, also is in the Capital
