Those Out of Town on Monday Must Register at Most Registration Place, Col. Hitchcock Advises.
If you are in the 45-64 age group and are unavoidably away from home Monday, you may register at the most
Convenient
convenient registration place, draft head, said today.
The colonel, however, urged that the men make every effort to register with their own local boards to aveid pos-
sibie confusion in the future.
Any person who must register away from home should
be careful to specify his home| address so that his registra-
tion card may be forwarded
promptly to his own local
board.
Registration places will open at
¥ a. m. and close at 9 p. m.
Required to register are men who! have reached their 45th birthday on or before Feb. 16, 1942, and who
have not reached their 65th birthday on or before Monday. Any man who cannot appear at
the designated registration places for his board because of, illness or
other incapacity must advise a registrar in his area and a special registration will be provided for him. After the registrant has answered
Col. Robinson Hitchcock, state
all questions and signed his name to the registration card, he will be given a registration certificate signed by the registrar. This certificate must be in the personal possession of the regis-

trant at all times. Failure to possess this certificate, or to show it to authorized persons, constitutes a violation of selective service regulations and is considered prima facie evidence of failure to register. Col. Hitchcock pointed out that those who must register Monday are not liable to military service, but will merely be required later to fill out a questionnaire as to their occupations and skills for possible
war plant work during the war.

How to Keep From Walking
WASHINGTON, April 24 (U. P). —The government today asked motorists to observe the following rules to conserve gasoline: 1. Eliminate all unnecessary driving. 2. Form car-sharing pools with neighbors who work in the same general area. 3. Drive under 40 miles an hour. 4 Don’t idle the motor unnecessarily. 5. Keep your car in good mechanical condition. 6. Align the wheels properly. Wheels out of line literally are a drag on a car. Wheels in proper alignment will not only save gasoline but will reduce the wear on tires. 7. Lubricate the car regularly with the proper oils. -8. Drive at steady speeds. 9. Start slowly. Avoid spurting and don’t attempt quick get-aways. 10. Keep braking to a safe minimun. 11. Inflate tires properly. 12. Don’t drive around curves at
speeds that “pull” the car.

Trust companies and banks have the right to perform certain serve ices in connection with the admin-

Can you picture an air raid on Indianapolis? Through every section of our city a messenger service must be built up to summon help where it is needed—to work between air raid posts, controls, hospitals, first aid posts, fire stations and police centers. Do you know any of these messengers? Perhaps you might take the training and be one. If you do, you will certainly be of help in the emergency.

o Charge Is Made Bake and trust companies, he said, make no charge for many of the services in handling an estate. The decision ended an eight-year old legal argument started in 1934 by the unauthorized practice of law committee of the Indianapolis Bar association, headed at that time by Taylor E. Groninger. The bar committee contended that a corporation cannot practice law, even though it has its own lawyers, and that the Fletcher Trust Co. in administering estates was illegally practicing law. The committee filed an information with the supreme court cifing the Fletcher Trust Co. for alleged contempt of court on the grounds that the court had exclusive Jurisdiction over the practice of law in Indiana. The court ruled that it had no jurisdiction over the question unless it was brought up from a lower court. Fansler Writes Opinion The committee then filed an injunction suit in circuit court here which was venued to the Hancock circuit court where a verdict favorable to the trust company was rendered. In the supreme court opinion, Justice Michael I. Fansler wrote: “We find nothing in the facts stipulated to justify a conclusion that the trust company is practicing law. “In the preparation of wills and other trust instruments in which it is named as trustee, it participates only to the extent of collaborating and advising with the attorney not in its regular employ, as selected by the testator or trustor, with the exception that it sometimes makes minor changes in wills or trust instruments already prepared at the request of the testator or trustor.” Several bills have been introduced in past sessions of the legislature seeking to prohibit banks and trust companies from performing such services in connection with administration of estat:s without hiring “outside” lawyers, but they always

TIRE QUOTA DIPS, RETREADS JUMP
May Supply Inadequate To Meet Demands, Strickland Says.
Quotas of new passenger car tires to be rationed in Indiana next month have been greatly reduced from the number allotted in April but this has been compensated to some extent by a larger increase in retreads.
Only 1805 new tires will be allotted to Indiana motorists during the month. The quota for April was 3079 and it was not nearly enough to meet the demand, James B. Strickland, state rationing administrator, said, At the same time, he pointed out, the reduction is an indication that quotas in the future will be cut still further. The allotment of retreads for the month totals 26,727, a decided increase over the 14,165 retreads allotted in April. A total of 14,186 new tubes has been assigned to Indiana for the May quota.
STRAUSS SAYS:
SUGAR SALES HALT MONDAY
First Step in Ration Plan; Commercial Blanks Are Now Available.
Halting of retail sales of sugar in Indiana Monday night will be the first step of the OPA’s program of rationing the commodity to commercial users and consumers, during the next two weeks. Commercial users—the baker, the butcher, the druggist, the confectioner, wholesalers, retailers, and institutional users—will apply for their sugar purchase certificates at city and county high schools. Application forms for commercial users went out to city and county high schools today and are available for the users. Otto J. Feucht, local rationing board member in charge of sugar, requested that commercial users get their forms immediately from the nearest high
school. Much Data Required
Forms require a large amount of data and some time must be given to filling them out. The application forms can be filled out between now and Tuesday or Wednesday and then taken to the school! and signed before a registrar. The forms must be signed at the school by a responsible member of the firm and not by a bookkeeper. Sugar purchase certificates will be issued to the commercial users by the high school registrars. High schools of the city and county will be open from 8 a. m. to 9 p. m. Tuesday and Wednesday for commercial users to turn in their forms. Forms .are also available now from the county rationing board in the war memorial.
Go To Nearest School
Mr. Citizen and his family, consumers, will apply and receive ration books on May 4, 5, 6 and 7, from the teachers at their nearest public elementary school. All persons in the city and county are asked to go to the school in their residential district to relieve confusion. Retail sales of sugar will be resumed on May 5 but only to those persons who received their ration books on May 4. Mr. Feucht said today that hours for consumer registration at the schools would be announced soon. The hours will be the same in all schools of the city and county. Representatives of city and county high schools met yesterday to receive in-
structions.

$6,000,000 GAS BONDS ARE SOLD
Issue Will Pay 31/3 Per Cent Interest and Premium Of $51,594.
The city’s $6,000,000 revenue bonds issued for the purchase .of properties of the old Indianapolis Gas Co. were sold to Smith, Barney & Co. and associates today by City Controller James E. Deery. The award was made on Smith, Barney's offer of 3% per cent interest and a premium of $51,594. Two Indianapolis financial houses, Indianapolis Bond & Share Corp. and the City Securities Corp., were associated with Smith, Barney in the bid. Two other bidders were A, C. Allen & Co. which offered a premium of $36,630 and Halsey, Stuart & Co. of Chicago and Otis & Co., of Cleveland, who offered a joint bid of $16,530. Both offered the same interest rate, 3% per cent. The award was approved by directors of the Citizens Gas & Coke Utility. The proceeds will be used to purchase gas mains and operating properties of the Indianapolis Gas Co. on which the city utility held a lease for 99 years. The lease will be terminated under the purchase order.

WPS BI, FOR: JUNKED AUTOS
Requisitioning Threatened If Graveyard Owners Ignore Appeal.
Not satisfied with the rate at which auto graveyard scrap is being moved to the steel mills, the war production board today “turned the heat” on all dealers, brokers, and :
graveyard owners. Dealers and brokers were urged to bid on all graveyards in Indiana by May 8, after which time, the government will act in the capacity of bidder. By July 1, graveyard owners must have sold all jalopies in the yards. Donald Nelson, WPB chairman, has stated that if graveyard owners do not comply, the government will requisition the entire yard, ching parts.
Graveyards Important
Donald Cummings, head of the Indiana auto graveyard section of WPB pointed out that it was not the WPB’s intention to elimi nate the auto graveyard. On the contrary, he said, the government intends that they shall con. tinue to function in collecting worn-out autos so that they can be sent as quickly as possible to the mills and back into the production line of war goods. In the United States, during the last six years, 15 million cars have gone out of registration. In the next 30 months it is expected that 15 million more will go out of reg istration. They are a potential source of scrap metal, according to Mr. Cummings.
