A young. good-looking, dark

OF having over 100000 friends

Before the Yanks invaded

his way into Tunis, slogged
through Sicily, and fought with
the Third Division along the
bloody road TO Cassion.

but somehow we always survive" "
He referred particularly to the ban
on outdoor display lighting, except
where necessary for the conduct OF
the business of outdoor establish
ments, and the bans on outdoor
decorative and ornamental lighting
The changes he foresaw would
place lights nearer windows so that
indoor illumination also would be
reflected outside.
The denial of electric service as
the penalty for noncompliance with
the order made James H. Ferry, vice
president and general manager of
the Potomac Electric Power Co.. fear
"a court full of damage suits"
I'VE want to cooperate" he said.
But We want to make sure that
when the WPB serves an order on
us to deny power to a customer
that WPB has the authority to do
SO. However, I haven't seen the
order and I'll wait until I get it."
Power Chiefs Consulted.
WPB said the compliance di-
vision would bring the complaints
and that the authority is, provided
under the War Emergency Act.
Representatives of the big power
companies were called in for a dis
cussion Of the order before it was
issued and the WPB spokesman said
the group must have included a
representative of the North Amer
ican Co., parent concern of Pepco.
Edward D. Shaw, secretary of the
Merchants and Manufacturers AS
ISOLATION, said the merchants would
comply with the order prohibiting
show window lighting. but that there
should be some interpretations, par
ticularly as to what constitutes in
terror lighting. Some stores, he said,
have deeply recessed entrances
fanked by show windows and the H.
Elimination for the entrance comes
from the windows.
Whether stores can remove the
back walls of their display windows
so that the interior illumination
could light the displays depends en-
tirely on the character of the con-
struction. Mr.. Shaw said.
The WPB order also prohibits
white-way lighting more than nee
essary for public safety. Trafic con-
troll and similar lights for essential
public service are excepted from the
order.

see how it works and then, If neces-

That was the point they made
when we saw them Saturday and
impressed on them the public

courteously. The theaters will GO
right along. We are proud of our

will appeal the order"
A WPB spokesman said also 1t

This light, shining through the

additional illumination outside, and
