Why can’t an oil rationing pro gram be announced immediately—on the basis that no one can apply for oil next winter unless they can prove that their furnace could not be con verted for oil burning? , ICKES—Blame As petroleum co-ordinator, Harold Ickes is going to have most of the blame fall on his shoulders if the people in the East don’t get fuel this winter. Mr. Ickes will be able to point to numerous warnings which he issued —he will be able to say: “I told you so!”—but that isn’t going to save him from blame. In a country where people won’t even pay any attention to a “Keep off the grass” sign unless it reads, “Positively,” Mr. Ickes ought to know that a few publicity releases, handed to newspapers, aren’t going to convince an audience which has learned to look with suspicion on practically all news stories with Washington datelines. And if Mr. Ickes would take a Sunday off to visit one of the beach es in the East, or one of the race tracks, or one of the out-of-town roadhouses, he would quickly realize that the people can’t get too excited about this oil transportation prob lem when they see how much gaso line is being shipped East to be burn ed up on non-essential driving. As far as that gasoline is concern ed, that may be the fault of the len iency of lodal rationing boards, but nothing will stop that leniency ex- To the Voters of Laurens County I wish to thank you for the fine vote you gave me in Tuesdays primary which re-elected me os your County Treasurer.

He also reported that earthly needs and let the ballance rot I only 4 per cent had considered the possibility of such conversion.
