‘BLACKOUT’ DRIVER
SCHOOLS ARE OPENED
The State Council of Defense has
started a series ot four-day schools
in all regions of the state to train
Civilian Defense Driver Corps in-
structors in the special techniques of
blackout and emergency driving.
The first school was conducted last
week in Reading and dates already
have been set for schools in a hum-
ber of other cities.
After this 20 hour course of train-
ing which inciudes practice driving!
and car repairs under emergency con-
ditions, the instructors will organize
and conduct classes for driver corps
volunteers in their own communities. |
Nearly 200,000 driver corps mem-
bers, many of them women, have been
enrolled by Councils of Defense thro-
ougout Pennsyivania.
“Motorized equipment is of tremen-
dous importance in civilian protec-|
tion and in the conduct of other je-
cessary phases of civilian life,” the
State Council of Defense pointed out.
“The need for really expert drivers
is tremendously accentuated by the
real possibilities of bombing which
will necessitate driving under adverse
conditions, such as fire and smoke,
shell holes, rough terrain, crossing of
ditches, fording streams, etc. In ad-
HOUSEWIVES TOLD HOW
TO STRETCH FOOD IN THE
VOLUNTARY MEAT RATION
The Pennsylvania State Council of
Defense has called on every Pennsyl-
vania housewife to ‘‘stretch” avail-
able meat and substitute foods as far
as possible in the voluntary meat ra-
tioning program.
In leaflets being distributed to
some 2,000,000 homes, Mrs. Conway |
Zirkle, chairman of the council's com- | Vv
mittee on consumer interests, said:
“Care should be taken to stretch |
with foods that provide protein, iron |
and V-vitamins-—the principal nutri-
ents found in meat.”
As examples she listed turkey, |
(chicken Jiver, fish, cottage cheese,
milk, soy beans, lima beans and peas, |
oysters, mustard greens, eggs, spin- |
jach, whole grain products, potatoes |
| and many vegetables and fruits. {
“Iron is not as easily assimilable |
|from vegetables as from animal!
| foods,” she added, “hence, eat vege- |
| table iron-containing foods very gen- |
!erously when animal foods are cur-|
| tailed.”
i Under voluntary meat rationing, |
each family is asked to limit con-
{sumption to two and one-half pounds |
|a week for adults, one and one-half
| pounds for children, and six to 12 and |
dition, civilian driver corps members’ three-quarters of a pound for children |
may be called upon to transport aux- |
iliary firemen, auxiliary policemen,
supplies, evacuees, etc, To do these | there soon will be meat shortages. |

Of Man Chased by Police
RAVENNA, OHIO.-Stanley A Bo-
ket for a “snore cure’ if he ever
gets out of trouble with the law.
Borys, wanted on burglary charges,
was leading police a merry chase
until one Sunday morning when
sleep overtook him in a hideout.
Special Deputy William Dexter of
Brady Lake had been tipped off that
Borys would spend the night at the
home of friends, so the officer took
up vigil there. After waiting some
time, Dexter stepped out on the
porch of the house, where he heard
a sawing sound. Further investiga-
tion revealed Borys under the porch,
sleeping soundly and snoring loudly.
