In addition to showing that the car is used for essential purposes, a motorist with an "A" ration, allowing 240 miles per month, must show that he has formed a carsharing club where this is possible, or that there is no alternate public transportation available to him, the chairman said.

OUR BOUQUET THIS WEEK A UNITED STATES BOMBER STATION IN ENGLAND, June 19 The Flying Fortress Blondie has closed her short career. She is a hangar queen now damaged beyond repair and her parts salvaged to Rebuild other ships. But before she got her death wounds in the great air battle over Kiel on June 13th, Blondie participated in an episode so strange it has become a classic at this American base. And, a Magna soldier, Sergeant Thomas R. McArthur, aided the ship. As Blondie struggled homeward, badly damaged from the furious conflict over Kiel, her 3 remaining engines keeping her barely 900 feet off the North Sea, a dozen Messerchmitts suddenly dived out of the clouds to finish off the straggler. ' It looked like a cinch, for Bton-die- s tailgun was jammed and she was defenseless from that quarter. Sergeant Raymond L. Provost of Port Arthur. Texas, struggled frantically to clear the weapon, but to no avail. Suddenly a Messerschmltt pilot, apparently sensing Provosts tragic predicament, dived in point blank for the kill and raked the crippled Fortress from stem to stein. It was a fatal error. One of his final shots struck the stubborn charger on Provosts gun, knocking it forward .and making it ready for action. Provost promptly let the German have it at 100 yards. He flopped over backward and plummeted into the sea. Sergeant McArthur, ball turret gunner on the Blondie, was officially credited with a share in the kill. Given that respite. Captain Harry M. Conley of San Francisco, the bomber's pilot, managed to coax Blondie on to the edge of the English coast, where she broke in two in a crash landing in a barley field. , Despite- - the ordeal. Sergeant McArthur and Sergeant William L. Cockran of Galveston, Texas, were the only wounded members of the crew, and neither was hurt YOUNG LADIES CYPRUS BAND VIE FOR JULY SEEKS FUNDS FOR UNIFORMS 5TH QUEEN The three leading contenders for the patriotic Independence Day celebration queen, are running close competition, says W.
