sTRICTER REPLACEMENT OF
LOST RATION BOOKS

Those persons who lose food ration
books face longer waiting period
before their replacement, and possi-
BILE appearance before the food panel
of the local War Price and Ration
ling Board, Leo H. Mccormick, OPA
District Director for Maryland, abs
warned the public.
Mr.. Mccormick said an increase in
applications for requirements of War
Ration Book Four has forced the
OPA to strictly adhere to the regula-
tions affecting replacement of books.
The replacement applications now
number six times the figure for a
year ago. Tie District Director re-
ported that the SO War Price and Ra-
tioning Boards in Maryland replaced
1852 lost, stolen, and mutilated War
Rationing Books Four in February,
1914.
obviously" he said, Immediate
steps have to be taken to put stop
to this increase. Our Boards have
been notified to adhere strictly to the
replacement provisions of the regu-
lations. Those provide not only for
a waiting period of 80 to 60 days af-
ter application has been made, but
also a thorough investigation of the
conditions surrounding the loss
theft, or mutilation of the ration
books. This also may require the APP
pearance of the applicant before a
Board panel"
Even the applications for replace
ment of Book Three, now used only
for shoe stamps, have shown an in
crease of 2,738 month. The number
jumped from 1893 in February,
1914, to 4,631 in February, 1916.
March figures were ont as yet avail
able.

WARNING TO BRUSH BURNERS

A number of residents of Cecil,
Hartford and Baltimore counties have
recently been convicted in magis-
trate's court of violation of Regula-
ton 4 of the Commission of State
Forests and Parks in regard to safety
precautions to be taken when debris
and brush are burned. Several others
have been convicted of violation of
Section ii, Laws of Maryland, which
provides penalty and payment for
damage done when fire is permitted
to escape.
Cecil county residents convicted
and fined were: Thomas Matson,
Elkton, and Emma Zimmerman, of
North East.
State Forests and Parks officers
in northern Maryland again take the
opportunity to call these simple
brush burning rules to the public.
During the months of March,
April and May, no outdoor burning
is permitted before p. m. (EWT)
when within 200 feet of woodland
or in material that could carry the
fire to woodland, such as grass fields.
Burning after 5 p. m. (EWT) obli-
gates TIE burner to have a 10 foot
fire line around the area to be burn
ed in addition to having the neces-
sary help and tools to prevent the
spread of fire.
These regulations are common
sense measures designated to prevent
woods and brush fires. Violators of
any portion of the burning regula-
tions expose themselves to prosecu-
tion by State Forest officers.

Lions Top Pasco
In Baseball Tilt

Returning to baseball after
dropping the sport for several
years, Kennewick high school last
Friday outlasted Pasco to win 3
to 2. The game, scheduled for
seven innings, went to nine before
the Lions snapped the 20 dead
lock and was played on the Pasco
field.
Pasco scored in the second and
fifth innings and Kennewick tied
it up with single runs in the fifth
and sixth. In the first half of the
ninth Adams raped single NOV
ing up when the next batter,
Doyle, also hit a one-bagger. The
rally begged down then when
Loring flew out to second base
and Kennedy struck out. NC
CURE, Lion pitcher, then stepped
up and won his own game with
well placed single, scoring Adams.
The inning ended when Kauth
popped out to catcher.
Kennewick held their lead, aft
, er Mcclure got off to a shaky
start in the last half of the ninth
by issuing two walks. Two fly
balls and a strikeout retired the
side.

ner fans this is up to par.
Also sports review showing
some fancy roping in San Antonio,
a roller skating revue in Madison
Square Garden and some canoe
ing in Lake Sabbago, Maine.
Excellent acting is only part
of the reward of viewing Hos
tages. It is an exciting account
of the temper of people who
have suffered longest under the
Nazi rule. William Bendix is cast
as the Mushroom attendant whose
guilessness cloaks the identity of
a Czech underground leader be-
loved by the people.
