Mileage Rotioning
Records Needed

Ali operators of passenger ears
with basic "a rations must have
Mileage Rationing Records" to be
eligible to apply for any other gas
oline rations, the Office of Price
Administration points out. Without
this important record no motorist
may be issued a "B' or &C" sup
Elemental ration. In the recent re-
registration of the nations 23,000,-
900 basic "a ration holders, each
registrant was issued one of the
mileage records forms. The form
replaces the old tire rationing rec
ord, on which was kept list of
issued gasoline rations. In cases
where a motorist was not issued a
mileage rationing record or had his
lost or destroyed, he should i'm
mediately apply to his local board
for duplicate, OPA states.

increased to S200,O00,000 from $780,
100000 as a result of mounting de-
mands for Red Cross services in

of war.
Coffee is served to CT drivers ex-
periencing the cold and mud of win
ter in France, by Red Cross girls
who are on l2-hour shifts. Hot
plates are provided, on which the
men warm up their c rations.
Rather than burden the heavily
laden truck conveys that rumble
night and day along roads between

staff in that area has not attempt
ed to serve food at roadside sta
tons, other than coffee.

The unique idea of message box
arranged for CT buddies to ex-

terms of the librarian.
Speaking of the good work done
by the library in the rural schools
the article says:
The pupils frequently write te
