Fuel Oil Dealers Here
Worried Over Supply
As Demand Grows

Some Washington fuel oil dealers
contemplating the big demand for
petroleum products and the trans
portation difficulties facing the in
dustry, are refusing to accept new
customers for the present heating
season, it was learned yesterday.
On the other hand, Robert E
Friedman, assistant director of the
Oil and Gas Division of the Interior
Department, speaking of the East
Coast generally, said he hopes that
the area will be able to get through
the winter with a minor inconven-
ience.
eff we have a severe winter" he
said, there may be shortages OF
some severity up and down the East
Coast. Stocks on the East Coast are
slightly below what they were this
time last year, although the demand
will be somewhat greater.
Gulf Stocks Good.
"On the bright side is the fact
that stocks on the Gulf Coast
where most of the East Coast sup
plies come from-are slightly higher
than at this time last year. Re-
finery runs are also some what bet
ter This gives us hope of meeting
the demand, or coming pretty close
to it.
The oil industry is operating al
capacity. 1t is just question
whether that capacity is sufficient
to meet the increased demand fol
OIL"
One trade association official sale
he expected no oil heating Difficult
ties in Washington unless there is
an unusually severe winter.
I'm the Middle Atlantic area" he
said, I'VE seem to be least affected
by the problems of the oil industry
There appear to be ample tanker
facilities and no shortage of crude
oil. Also we are near Baltimore
where supplies come and where
there are several big ref1neries."
Most Tanks Are Full.
He estimates about 80 per cent o1
the home owners here who use oil
for fuel have their tanks full, ano
that dealers have their storage tanks
filled almost to capacity.
That will take care of about one
third of our normal winters needs,
he said
c. A. Newland, division manager
in Baltimore for the Standard Oil
Co. of New Jersey, said in a state
ment that his company some time
ago stopped converting heating
plants for individuals and compa-
nies from coal to oil. Owners OF
new houses, principally veterans
represent the only increase in Gus
toners.
Taking New Customers.
He said the fuel oil situation is
tight, but If everything goes all
right we can squeak through" Mr.
Newland's statement applies to his
company's operations in the Wash
ington area.
Charles H. st. John, vice presi-
dent of the Griffith Consumers Co.
says his firm still is accepting new
customers.
There are no particular trans
portation difficulties affecting this
area and no shortage of OIL" he
said. Il do think there will be q
day or two when oil looks scarce
but I don't believe anyone will be
cold"
A canvass of other fuel oil sup
pliers revealed one who has stopped
accepting customers. another who
says his concern probably will re-
fuse new customers next week. still

Cooperation
Held Vital for
BayFisheriies
Potomac Group Told
Both States Should
Have Same Rules !

SOLOMONS, Md, Sept. 27.-Johr
Clark, chairman of the Maryland
Tidewater Fisheries Department
told members of the Interstate Com.
mission on the Potomac Basin herr
today that cooperation between
Maryland and Virginia is essentia
to save the vast Chesapeake Bay
fishing industry.
Commission members are on 8
three-day cruise of the Chesapeake
Bay area as guests of the State
OF Maryland aboard the yacht Po.
tomac Mr.. Clark told them it /.
impossible for Maryland to protect
her fisheries unless Virginia enacts
concurrent legislation.
Expressing hope that closer co.
operation would result from studies
of the Maryland Virginia compact
now being made by the joint COM
mission, Mr. Clark said that Mary
land is now conserving oysters
crabs and fish that are being caught
largely by Virginia fishermen.
Charges No Restraint.
What we do here in Maryland
in effect" Mr.. Clark said, "is tc
preserve a part of our fish each
year, only to have them gobbled ur
by Virginia fishermen who have
no restraint on fishing practices
I'm Maryland we limit the num-
ber of licensed, commercial fisher
men, and in doing so, we assure
a high percentage of escapes. This
provides breeding stock. Unless Vir-
Iginia also takes protective meas
ures, our regulations are useless.
I'VE must consider the entire
Chesapeake Bay as one vast area
1t is impossible to practice conserva-
ton on one end of the bay when
the other is left wide open. Unless
we can get together, we will not
have an important fisheries indus
try in years to come"
Example of Cooperation.
Raymond v. Long, chairman of
the Virginia Planning Board, who
heads the commission this year,
told Mr.. Clark the work of the COM
mission is an example of what CO.
operative action between States can
achieve.
Mr.. Long said that through work.
ing closely with member States, a
greater degree of pollution control
work has been accomplished in the
Potomac Basin than would have
been possible if no means of CO.
ordinating the efforts of the various
States were available.
Pointing to recent conferences be-
tween representatives of West Vir-
ginia and Maryland in which plans
are being made to clean up the Up
per Potomac, Mr.. Long said such
results are obtainable when two
States work in earnest toward the
solution of common problem.
Inspect Mouth of River.
Leaving the dock at the Chesa-
peake Biological Laboratory here
this morning, commission members
sailed down the bay to inspect the
mouth of the Potomac River. A
proposed cruise to picturesque Tan
gier Island was Cancelled because of
lack of time.
On the return to Solomons, COM
mission members were given a typi-
cal Southe. :. Maryland steamed oys-
ter suppeE State Senator Louis
Goldstein Of Calvert County was
host.
Members are scheduled to leave
here tomorrow. cruise up the bay
and land at Annapolis in the after
noon.

Family of -Four Can Be Fed for 1888 Week,
But Clever Planning to Stretch Dollars Is Needed
Menus Devised in 1916
Are Checked Against
Current Prices
Rv VioIet Enulknar
By Violet FouIkner

| cOOu lOI lOuI OIl SlO.So week.
Yes, it can be done. believe it or
not. We admit 1t all takes time and
more than bit of clever planning
to stretch those food dollars with
the present high prices.
We have taken a weeks menus as
prepared by the Bureau of Human
Nutrition and Home Economics of
the Department of Agriculture. At
the time these menus were planned
In May, 1916, the estimated food
cost for a week came to between SIS
and SIT for family of four. I have
taken the same menus and checked
them against prices as of September
Is, 1947. Let's see how they compare.
This typical American family con-
sists of Mother, Dad, 2-year old
Jane, and 6-year- Tommy.
Mother does her own work and
shops in the neighborhood stores.
They have small garden so when
homemade relishes appear in her
menus you know they were put up
in the family kitchen. She checks
food prices carefully and diligently
and the family eats good, nourish-
ing meals.
Dads Lunch Included.
We are assuming dad either eats
his lunch at home or carries 1t
when the weather is bad. In that
case Mother is usually able to put
the same foods in his lunch box that
he would have eaten at home. For
instance, if it's on day when she
planned creamed eggs for lunch, she
puts sliced hard-boied egg sand
wich in the lunch box, with lots of
lettuce to make up for the salad at
home. The children are old enough
to eat the same kind of food as the
rest of the family if it's simply
prepared.
In the matter of meat, of course,
comes the biggest problem. In the
1946 shopping list two to three
pound shoulder of lamb was called
for, but we have substituted three
pounds of beef tongue as a better
buy today. The chuck roast of 1916
is on the list today but the meat
available at our price of Al cents a
pound is lower grade though
Government inspected and graded.
But let us start off on the weeks
menus and see what our family can
have to eat at that price. AS every
thrifty housewife knows, it pays to
take advantage of week lend specials.
On Friday when mother markets
for the next week, she buys as
many staples as possible and enough
fresh vegetables to last for several
days. This week she found the
3h pound chuck roast for At cents
a pound; while she was there she
picked up the rest Of her groceries
that she expects to use during the
week. In the accompanying table
EIS have listed the items and the|
prices she paid. AS the week goes
on you will see how she works these
foods into her mecus. :fa So
