 Running Low
 The fuel administrator told the Governor that shipments of coal to Connecticut coal yards are running below anticipated figures, and deal CTS with increasing frequency, arc calling the state office to say they are out Of anthracite coal and un- able to fill orders.
 By agreement between MT. Darley and Mark Sandford Connecticut representative for the Solid Fuels Administration for War, the Fuel | Administrator will begin immed ately a weekly inventory of fuel on hand in dealers yard, the Gov ernor announced.
 The inventory will also show an- ticipated shipments to each dealer and is intended to give advance warning when shortage threatens an entire community. Arrangements can then be made for emergency ships of substitute feul but the gov ernor pointed out that it takes ten days to two weeks to bring car of coal 10 Connecticut by freight, and advance information is essential if these shipments are to arrive in lime,
 A number Of such emergency de. llyerieS have already been arranged through the fuel administrators of lice. In other instances, arrange InentS have been worked out for nelghboring dealer to loan g supply Of coal until an anticipated car ar riVes.
 With the manpoWer difficulties being experienced by dealers, the Governor pointed out, customers who expect delivery on short notice may be doomed to disappointment.
 3O-Day Advance Notice
 Our difficulties will be much less," the governor said, If the public will notify dealers of all fuel requirements well in advance. Or ders should be placed 30 days ahead, If possible. That will give the deal CTS and the fuel administrator the information they need to regulate shipments and supplies"
 We have known from the start, [" the Governor said that We would have to turn large amounts of sub sttlute fuel, of various kinds, if we were going to get through this win ter without suffering The Fuel Ad- | mInistrator began last summer to | urge that dealers stock these sub- stituteS and that consumers buy them to supplement their regular | fuel supplies.

FRENCH TURN
 TO U. s. IDEAS
 ON BATHROOMS
By DUDLEY ANN HARMON United Press Stan Correspondent ]

By DUDLEY ANN HARMON United Press Stan COrTespOndent) Paris. Jan. 10 - CU.PO - French men, whose primitive bathrooms have bothered thousands of pre- war American tourists. are dreaming of postwar houses which will feat ure new-fangled American gadgets such as plumbing that really works
 With more than a million French homes, destroyed or damaged by bombing, a mission soon will visit the United States to study our bathrooms. kitchens and prefabri- cated houses.
 How the Frenchman will pay for such features when a workman in his own country who earns. $80 month is considered highly paid, is a question yet unanswered.
 Will Import Units
 Urbain Cassan, architect and member of the newly formed Min istry of Reconstruction, said flatly that France will not be able to pay for importation of prefabricated houses on large scale.
 "It will take all the money we earn to pay for such vital imports as coal and gasoline" he said. But we do hope to be able to import such features as bathroom units from America, while building the houses themselves from material in France
 He hoped the ministry would de- eide against using prefabricated houses except in extreme emergen- cieS because they are ugly and apt to remain long past the emergen- cy." He said in the Ardennes people still were living in barracks left over from the last war.
 To Keep Exterior Charm
 An attempt will be made to re- tain original charm of villages which have been bombarded and which will be rebuilt, at the same time keeping their interiors mod ern.
 "A young generation of French is growing up which has become accustomed to cleanliness through sports programs and stadiums with showers" he said.
 Thousands of refugees have en- tered into sort of communal life with other families because short ages of materials prevent building Of emergency barracks. but Cassan hoped some chateaux would be &C., quired to house refugees.
 He said a survey showed that French peasants would welcome central heating rare in France = but only if they keep their big fire places, before which they dry their clothing after work in the fields. Through thrift, or lack of money, usually French peasant has only 8 single change of cloth ing.

Some of the twosome gruesome,
were, Billy Grimes, Benny Carruth-
ers, Eddie Lacy, Jimmy Miller, Mel
vim Beasly and Leon James, alias
"Wave." The party was really a
killer diller and real fine thriller,
the boys were all sharp and the
chicks were a killer. There were
refreshments in the basement and
they were really neat. No, we
didn't have steak, cause you can't
get meat "you can't get that
no mol"
After long and hard calculations,
l find that the best dressers are,
Nathan Bonner, Willis Reed and
Nelson Mccoy, they are top notch
so far; for the best jivers, I have
found that little Chuck Mccoy is
coming on pretty strong. Eddie
Milton seems to have few st. Paul
and Southside chicks crazy about
him and Billy Mccoy, who is in the
army now, is, so far, at the top of
the swooners list. The best look
ing is still undecided, but here is
Richard Parker, Daniel Allen, and
the third is still unknown.

make out Sunday? l hope you

weather we're having is really beat
and to see the sun is really a treat,
but when do we see it, bout once
every week and just long enough to
give US peek-yes of sunshine.
We don't get our quota, but what
can you expect in Minnesota?
A surprise party was given for
Cora Mae Ritchey, who went away
Wednesday of this week and it was
really on the ball. There was dane
ing upstairs, downstairs and in the
hall. Some of the chicks who were
looking quite fine that day were Pat
Cartwright, Janet Armstrong and
Pauline Ray. Oh, yes, there were
many more chicks. I saw, Jane
House, Doris Escue and Francis
Logan when 1 finished jamming
1 was really a wreck. Caught
sight of that fine chick, named
Jewel Beck there were many
cats there jumping with joy. Some
of them were, Glen Pullens, Phillip
True and Norland Mccoy. Some
more boys looking sharp in their
regular way were Jack Jackman,
Ronald Brown and ole Paul Ray.
Jean Brown is wondering why
when a dance starts all the boys sit
on one side and the girls on the
other, and she wants me to lorate
all you guys on that deal, but
would have to say the same about
the girls so when they start
playing hard, give both groups time
to come down to earth.
Well, 1 shall say cats for my
closing slogan, good bye Cora Mae,
hello Mrs. Logan. Dig you later
all you hepsters rect. All you chicks
stay fine and you cats stay neat.
