Wartime Rationing Reduces State Park Attendance Columbia, August 13. — Attend ance at the State Parks for the two summer months of June and "Meet the • e .• (Each week in this space will be presented a picture and word portrait ot someone wnose name is ncws.l " • Clear-cut, simple rationing plans which utilize the talents of both business and academic leaders are the announced policies of the newly appointed general manager of the Office of Price Administra tion—Chester Bowles. • Price Administrator Prentiss Brown brought Bowles to Washington from Connecticut where Bowles was the OPA administrator. The new OPA general manager is a 42-year-old successful adver tising executive with a business background and a liberal attitude toward both industrial and aca demic groups of Washington officials who oppose each other’s methods of price administration. •He has asserted that both practical business men and professor-economists are needed in the OPA. At a press conference shortly after his ap pointment, Bowles outlined seven major points of his program which apparently meet the approval of Prentiss Brown. They are: !l*l. No rationing merely for the sake of rationing. •2. More reliance on local rationing offices. •3. No OPA monopoly representation on the part of professional, busi ness, farm, labor, or any other group. •4. Snooping techniques to be avoided. •5. Obliteration of the black market. •6. Abandonment of “LegaUstic interpretations” and simplification of OPA regulations. • 7. Insistence of equal sharing. / Chester Bowles • in-jg* .

Coal Miners Can Now Dig Gasoline Name Address Name of paper Pattern No. Size — _.. Send 15 cents in coin, (for each pattern desired) to— Patricia Dow Patterns 206 W. 17th St., New York, N. Y. The production of gasoline from coal is shown to members of the senate sub-committee on war material by Dr. K. K. Sayers, director o.' the national bureau of mines. July is nearly 70.000 less this year than for the same two months of 1942. This is a clear indication that gasoline restric tions and other wartime measures have curtailed the pleasure driv ing of South Carolinians. Last year’s attendance records totaled 276,433 as against 208,502 visitors for this year. These figures apply only to the six State Parks that have been officially opened to the public for this summer; which are Oconee, Table Rock. Paris Mountain, Cheraw, Sesqui-Cen- tcnnial, and Poinsett. At Scsqui-Centennial State Park in Richland County, attendance •n to :.nd including August 8th ( has fallen off from 83,129 in 1C! 1 , to 74.422 in 1943, a difference cZ 8,707. Attendance undoubted; ' would have fallen off more ha l the park been far removed frcri Columbia. As it is, many wer t able to take one or two trips V the park on their slim gasoli” ' ration, and most of these whD traveled brought others whh them on a share the car basis. Because of this, the park hn; proven to be the most used cf any in the State Park system. The farmer who goes fishing instead of pulling fodder catches something more than fish—he garners more corn per acre.
