Public Urged To
Prepare Now For
Fuel Emergency

Acting at the request Of Solid
Fuels Administration for War, Cap
tain Donald S. Leonard, State Fuel
Conservation Director and Director
of Civilian Defense. has announced
the inauguration of a statewide
fuel conservation campaign.
The campaign is to be carried on
through the Michigan Office Of
Civilian Defense. County Fuel Con-
servation Directors, who will organ
lie appeals to the public to prepare
now for winter, are being selected
by Defense Council chairmen and
will, in turn, name assistants in the
various communities.
Similar campaigns are to be con-

Fuels administration shows that
during the coming winter the Uni
ted States will face it's most serious
fuel shortage since the beginning
of the war;" Captain Leonard said.
For every five tons of coal the
consumer normally uses he will get
not more than four. For every four
gallons of fuel oil only three. Use
of coke and gas also will be re-
stricted, and there is a shortage of
wood. The situation is further
strained by the necessity for send
ing 100000 tons of coal to Europe
to avoid riot and bloodShed when
cold weather arrives. AS a final
complication, transportation facil-
tiles are damned because of the
concentration of our fighting forces
and equipment on the Pacific
coast"
Leonard said Solid Fuels Admin
istrator Harold L. IckeS has notified
him that 1--WE may have to suffer
a shortage of coal in this country
next winter which will be more
acute than heretofore predicted,
and substantially greater than that
which we experienced last winter
We may have to curtail industrial
supplies to the point which will
mean a partial or complete shut
down Of some plants. We may even
have to reduce the 80 per cent
quota which we have fixed for do
mestic consumption"
During the campaign consumers
will be asked to do three things:
First, order fuel at once and in
the case of coal accept the kind
available; second, check up on all
heating equipment, whether fired
by oil, coal or gas. to insure peak
efficiency, and third. protect homes
against loss of heat by installing
insulation, storm windows and
weather. Stripping, and m "a k in g
other necessary repairs to prevent
heat escape Home Improvements,
it was pointed out, can be financed
through the Federal Housing Ad-
miniStration.

P. F. c. Warren Bogardus owes his life to German prisoner who, a few months ago, was endeavor- ing to annihilate all allied troops.
 The local soldier was maneuver- ing a large heavily laden trailer truck into tight spot alongside an unloading platform near Kit ningen, Germany when suddenly the air brakes broke locking the wheels. Bogardus crawled under the truck to release the mechanism and just as his task was accom- plished one of the Nazi prisoners assigned to the job of unloading the truck stepped into the cab of the biz vehicle and started it nov ing. A second German prisoner standing by saw that Bogardus would be crushed by the heavy wheels and jumped forward pull ing him to safety.
 Bogardus has been in the ser vice since March 2, 1943 and over seas for-many months. Although confined to hospital in England for some time earlier this year for treatment of trench feet he wears two battle stars. He IS now assigned to the motor vehicle de- partment of the 944th Ordnance Division.

Rain which cancelled all games scheduled for Sunday left Bloom fields fast stepping ball team in a tie for second place in the First Connecticut District League of the American Legion National Base ball Association.
 Sharing second place with the locals in Manchester. Both are just one half game behind the league leading West Hartford nine. The three have lost only one game. Trailing this trio are Wethersfield and Windsor Locks in a tie for fourth place and Windsor who has not yet won a game.
 In garnering their quartette of wins the Bloomfield boys have taken two from Windsor Locks by to3 and 7 to scores and one each from Wethersfield and Wind sor in 5 to 3 and 5 to 4 games. The loss went to West Hartford by 9 to 3 count.
 Although showing some weak ness at second base in the early games and general play of the local lads has been good, even flashy at time. The hitting of Pro has featured all games and the run-making ability of LaPenna, Pro, Tull and Backman is the talk of the league.
 To pitcher Chick Lagan goes credit for the four wins. Pro is charged with the loss.
 The game with Manchester which was rained out last Sunday will be played here Wednesday evening, July 25. A previous post poned game with the Silk City team will be played at later date. The remaining scheduled games are: Windsor at Windsor Wednes- day evening, July IS; Wethers- field here Sunday, July 22; West Hartford at West Hartford Sun day, July 29.

Two of the choices, Bill Durham
in goal and Maurice Crockett Rich
ard at right wing were unanimous
while Hector (Toe) Blake, who was
given the left wing spot missed
perfect record by single vote.
The only position which was
openly competitive was that of the
left defense spot for which both
BoSton's Jack Crawford and OFT
Heller of New York polled 16 votes.
Crawford won the first team DO
sition on the basis of the greater
number Of first team votes.
Better divided was the second
team, where two players each from
Chicago and Toronto, and a single
man from Boston and New York
won places.
Twenty-Five players received one
or more votes. The teams follow:

Every time Captain Bill Hollett
scores point he is eclipsing his own
record for most goals, assists, and
total points by a Detroit defense
player which he set this year. He
has already surpassed Alex Motter's
previous record total by eight points.
Ted Lindsay has joined Steve
Wochy in threatening Edible Good
fellows record of II goals by a first
year Detroit player. Lindsay now
has IA scores. one less than Wochy.
and while Ted lacks the assists to
beat Goodfellow's point total of "a,
each of this years rockies may end
up with part of the new mark.
The current Red Wing club is the
second one in Detroit's history to
score over 100 goals at home. Prior
to last nights game they had 1O4.
Last seasons club scored 131 times
at home, mark which may well
elude this years team.
