Gasoline Situation
Persons planning to open a new
business involving* the use of com
mercial motor vehicles were warned
recetttly to check in 'advance with
the Office of Defense Trilnsportatloa
to avoid the possibility of heavy fi
nancial loss if refused gasoline.
Many appllcwlons have been receiv
ed by the ODT; from Individuals who
had invoked lakge sums of money in
a new business and then found they
were ineligible to receive gasoline and
tires—without which they could not
carry on their business, according to
A. W. Bohlen, ODT district manager
in Columbia, S. C. ^
In most cases, the ODT district
representative said, certificates of war
necessity for gasoline will not be
given to persons starting new busi
nesses, or to (those expanding old
operations, unless the new business or
extended operation is essential.
Gasoline for such new bnsiness and
expanded operations, are specifically
forbidden by a recent order of Joseph
Eastman, dlrecipr of the Office of
Defense Transportation. The new
Eastman order forbids the inaugura-

felt for an organization that would
benefit boys in the age group of 7
to 12 years. At this time they are
considered too young for organiza
tions for boys that provide programs
for youths in age groups of 12 and
above. It has long been felt that
youths In this lower age group need
something that they can feel is an
organization of their own, and it is
a known fact tbat they ueed some
type of program to prepare them for
the future, and (or future cltisenship.
The fact remains that aviation will
play a big role in 'the future of
America, and that more and more
youths of today are becoming avia
