Stamps 15 and 16 in War Ra-

pounds each of sugar, to be used 1

new set-up will take care of the

and early summer canning. These
two stamps are valid until Oct.

sugar may be secured where the'
need can be substantiated but

Truck owners and operators are

Cutting back of gasoline allot-'
| ment lor trucks in the eastern,
'states carries with it the admon
ition of OP A to all operators of
passenger cars to cut their driv
ing down to absolute necessity.
In hundreds of towns and cities
the storage tanks are already
empty and the scarcity has be
oome alarming. Regardless of
the type of book or the number
of coupons a car owner may have
it is simply a patriotic duty to
keep off the highwaye except on
essential business. Reckless, ex
travagent use of gasoline at this
time might paralyze the transpor
tation system of the country,
hamper the conduct of the war
and lengthen the time which the
fighting men may stay engaged in
the conflict. Waste of even a gal
lon of gasoline at this stage of
the war is lending aid to the
i enemy.
