1 A OST labor-saving farm imple|Y \ ments are hard to get these days. But you can still open a checking account without a priority. And that’s a labor-saving device if there ever was one. Think of the hours and gasoline you’ve used paying bills in person, when you could have written checks. Open a checking account the next time you come to the bank.

Ickes Says Gas Rations To Remain
WASHINGTON, April 4 Secretary Jckea said today that "contrary to the impres.-ion held in some quarters," there is no possibility at this time of increasing civilian gasoline rations in any section of the country. "Despite the statements mady by so-called "informed sources," stocks of gasoline for civilian use are tight all over the country,” said Ickes, wh< is petroleum administrator for war in a statement, "StiK ks of total crude petroleum and products in the United State: are at the lowest level they havi been in the last 20 years. The allocations for the second quarter <of 1944 have been made to the Office of Price Administration. It is not expected that these will be changed. - Deputy PAW Chief Ralph K. Davies, in a supplemental statement, said that East coast petroleum supplies are generally in a better position than they were last year but "this does not mean that there is an abundance of gasoline supplies.” Davies said PAW does not foresee any substantial easing of the situation, for military demands continue to increase and "the more we supply to the military the less is available for civilians.” Davies said that with two big pipe lines now operating from Texas to the East the transportation problem has eased somewhat but the current problem is primarily on« of supply." The United States must be considered as a unit, he added, with no one sertion being separated from the remainder of the nation. While inventories of crude p"trolijim and petroleum products in the country declined 13 per cent during the last two years.” Davies said, "gasoline inventories (including military gasolines) decreased 20 per cent Since aviation and other military gasolines wi re increasing during this period, obviously stocks of civilian gasoline have declined even mors than published figures indicate. "Instead of considering increasing the allocation of gasoline for civil-
ians at this time, the PAW and the i Robert Scobee, U. S. Navy, is petroleum industry are having all i home on a 10 day leave visiting with they can do to meet the programed | his parents,
requirements as allocated to the QPA for the second quarter of 1944.” Davies said that while it was tru" | that shipments of petroleum pro
