£ — Continued From Paui B and C book rations may not ba used for vacation trips, but B and C book holders may utilize their A rations for a trip, Hartf lay said. OPA officials indicated that Hartley's statement was substantially correct, and said formal announcement could be expected

aeon.

The OPA indicated that it would take all possible safeguards to prevent use of B and C gasoline rations for vacation travel. The plan under consideration, it was added, would require the mo- ( terist to show his local board that he has sufficient A rations to make the trip, sind would use Do gaibli: * " - ■ • Listing , _ big concession,” Hartley held that “little or no additional gasoline will be used on the vacation tripe because the people whom this concession will benefit are those who have saved their coupons for this very purpose.” The OPA, he said, contended that the saved coupons would not ha used if the concessions

not made.

“But we ' convinced t , Hartley stated, “that the temper of the people was such that If the concession were not made the motorists would go out and nse dp their gasoline for other

authorized purposes. ”

The concession, Hartley said, “by no means halts the activities of the eastern gasoline bloc; we are still pressing for more gaso'ttne for the eastern seabord.” No more special gasoline rations will be issued to victory gardeners after July 1, the OPA ruled, but rations already maj^ be used as long as valid.

i action was based on an Agriculture Department stand that gardens planted after July 12 would be too late to produce enough food to warrant ert^a use of tires and gasoline ih cultivat-

ing them.

In sdifitine to using special tions already issued, OPA a gardeners may continue to use their A books for short tripe to their gardens, provided they are not more than three miles dis-

tant.

The OPA issued new regulations requiring endorsement coupons on the face instead on the reverse aide as in

-past.

Further, the regulations stated, «dl A, B, and C coupons must be endorsed as soon as they are re-

ef when the gasoline is purchased

at the filling atatkm.

Immediate endorsement of the coupons, OPA declared, would aid greatly in controlling the Mack market in gasoline and gasoline coupoat and would save time at the filling stations as well. The new regulations go into

BY THE OBSERVER

“Dangerous Comer,” a thrilling drama of exciting situations leading to a surprise ending, opened to an enthusiastic audience at the Cape Theatre Tuesday evening.

The cast was as follows:

Maud Mockbridge, Dorothy Moore; 01 wen Peel, Mabel Taliaferro; Freda Chatfield, Helen Wagner; Betty Whitehouae, Elaine Ellis; Charles Stanton, Philip Elarle; Gordon Whitehouse, Dan Lounsbery; Robert Chatfield, W.

James Bedell.

-J. B. Priestley’s tense story of the amazing consequences resulting when a group of people decide to “tell the whole truth” enthralled the audience, as clever direction, good characterizations, and fast pace kept the excitement mounting to the unexpected denouement. Mabel Taliaferro was impressive as Olwen Peel, secretary to the publishing doncern. Philip Earle added to his laurels

After his arrest, man steadfastly refused I M Ws name or any particulars about feimfcelf. In lucid moments, he told mrthwitiet that he had been graduated from ‘ some university” where he had received

Stanton, one of the publishers. W. James Bedell, fresh from his comedy success last week, proved his versatility with a finely drawn dramatic presentation of Robert Chatfield, the head of the publishing concern. _ A* the wives of the publishers, Freds Chatfield and Betty Whitehouse, Helen Wagner and Elaine Ellis were effective in tense and unusual roles. Dan Lounsbery did well with the part of the sensitive Gordon Whitehouse. Dorothy Moore, one of the junior group, completed the well chosen cast in the role of the acidulous novelist, Maud Mockbridge. Sunday and Monday nights the junior group is presenting last seasons sensational melodrama, “Guest in the House.” The professional company will open next Tuesday, July IS, in that delightful and well loved comedy, “Fanny and the Servant Prob-

lem.”

_ The junior group was impressive in its opening bill on Monday night. The charming modem drama “Letters to Lucerne” proved well suited to the talented young players and was enthusiastically received by the audience.

The cast was as follows:

Olga Kirinski, Barbara Drake; Lma Schmidt, Glenn Smith; Miss Under, Gloria Jennings; Hans, Jack Deuel; Margarethe, Justine Johnston; Caroling Hunter, DorSacL “0°^ Binr ° Hm ' Audrie

— Continued From Pi “In June, 1942, the War De- . irtment requested the Red Cross to make large numbers of surgical dressings because commercial manufacturers could produce only a small percentage of the vast number needed. Red Cross accepted this challenge and obligation, knowing their volunteers would welcome such an oprtunity. In -February the War partment asked for 180,000,000 iitional dressings for delivery March 81. This seemed a ggering quota, but what happened ? Actually , 181,135300 dressings were shipped by " date. During the month — March an average of more than four million dressings were turned out every day. This is a fine

record.

“Surgical dressings workers constitute by far the greatest of Red Cross volunteers. Week ' and week out they carry on _ work which is tiring and monotonous, but which requires skill, precision and great patience. This they do modestly, without fanfare or ostentation. These workers must exercse patience, not only in their daily task of making dressings, but in accepting and understanding the surgical dressings program as a whole. This is not easy to do without an explanation too long and complicated to discuss here. Briefly, it means that at times the quotas will be very large with extra work and speeding up required and other times when the quotes will be reduced and work slowed down. This situation is unavoidable and many factors enter into it but it

accepted cheerfully.

“This vital and necesary work one of the most important of all the services rendered by the Red Cross. It is also one that attracts more volunteers than any other, probably because of its strong humanitarian appeal. It is given to few womfn, in war time,, to administer directly to sick or wounded soldiers but the privilege of making dressings for them is given to all. The volume of work turned out is possible only because of their unflagging zeal and devotion. This is written for them as a special message of appreciation and high

praise.”
