Says "Petrel Necessary As Bfcod" At a critical moment in the last war, Premier Ciemencean of France said, "petrol is aa necessary aa Mood in the battles of tomorrow." At that time we sent all the gasoline that France asked for, and now we must send fuel oil and gasoline to our men battling for freedom in French colonial soil. To do this mens that mota than ever well have to be sparing our use of fuel oil, drive aa little as possible to have gasoline and rubber. Motorists who need more mileage than their basic ration will have to give good reasons for requiring an extra allowance of gasoline, and supplemental gasoline rations in moat cases will not be granted unless the applicant belongs to a bona fide car sharing group of at least lorn members. Ration books will not be isaaed until December 1 be<^«use of unavoidable delays in distribution. The fuel shortage, starting with fuel oil, has struck in many directions. There has been a sharp increase in the demand for heating stoves that* burn "cal and wood, and to meet the expected shortage in this type of stove, production of coal and wood-burning cooking stoves has been halted until January 1, 1943.

London, Nov. 18. — Sir Stafford Oipps, government leader in the House of Commons, told the House today that the Allies' gains in North Africa provided "a very solid reason" for greater confidence in the future but that there must be no over-confidence "for a stern and uphill fight lies ahead of us before we can even gain mAstery of North Africa itself." "Very special measures are being taken to make affective both our offensive and defensive action against U-boats," Crippe said, speaking in debate on the message of King George VI which opened the new The new stage of the war reached with victory over the Axis in Egypt, Crippe said, "will place an even greater strain on our resources than we have hitherto experienced."
