who have hot signed up. Some of
to cards have b^nteturned because
to address of tto person was not

land owners who do not realize the
immrtance of rignmg .up their land.
Jwe l4th tos been sb't as the dead

Afto that date Col. Harrison will
no longer have anything to do with

toir cards, reg|p*dless of to reason,
will be reported, to the govei^ment
as refusing to give the government

Mr. Leder says, though, that a

“1. By reducing our driving speeds;
“2. By refraining from non-essen
tial driving;
“3. By less hasty getaways in city
traffic, and
“4 By adjusting our cars for maxi
mum fuel efficiency so that no gaso
line will be belched through the ex
haust pipe.”
“All of us can give up some* plea
sure driving,” he added. “We will be
glad to make such a small sacri
fice. I also suggest that all of us see
that his oil burner is in good condi
tion. It ■ will be healthier too, and
more economical if we keep our
homes a little cooler next winter.”
The appeal to “buy winter coal
now” was issued by the consumer
counsel, with endorsement of the
