In answer to the perennial
question as to a person's rights

rations. Thadrlnns W Vi
district rationing attorney for
the Office of Price Administra
tion, stated today that the basic
120 miles per month may be
used as each motorist chooses.
Theoretically, he pointed out,
a motorist might use all of his
eight valid "A" stamps on one
360-mile trin but that mnnM ho
at the exclusion of all other fam-
, lly use of the cir for a full three
months period Such a motorist,
he warned, would legally be un
able to- use any of his 'B" or
"C" rations for an emergency
trip to the doctor or to go shop
ping or visiting.
Since 120 miles per month is
a bare minimum need of most
families for essential driving,

tional case that a person who
holds supplemental rations
would be able to use even one
full month's allotment on a week

There is one situation, Veness
explained, where a person may
not use basic " A" rations as he
pleases. This happens, he said,
when a person in a remote dis
trict secures supplemental ra
tions for marketing and family
use. In this case, the total mile
age, including the "A" book,
must be used for essential family
driving.

' Almost a billion surgical dressings were made for the
Army by American Red Cross volunteer workers in 1943, and War
Department quotas call for more in 1944. Commercial manufactur
ing facilities and manpower are entirely inadequate to supply dress
ings in the vast quantities required during wartime, so this is one
ofhe most vital of the many essential Red Cross services.
The Red Cross needs all the help that all of its can give. YOU
are needed, as a production, motor corps, canteen or hospital and
recreation worker; as a staff assistant, dietitian's aide, nurse's aide
or home nurse trainee.
Red Cross tasks include some of the most important Citizen
Soldier activities, but there are many more . . . more than enough
for all of us to have a proud part in speeding victory, and in reduc
ing war's terrible cost. If you are not already doing all you an,
choose your service and enroll today, as a Citizen Soldier.

Aboard an LST In the English
Channel June 34 (U.R) Demo

poised in the Channel with a
convoy of dynamite, ready to
tackle the dangerous initial
phase of turning Cherbourg into
a sheltered supply base for Al

"We are feady for anything,"
said Diving Officer J. H. Mac
Donald, who won the Congres
sional Medal of Honor for his
work during the rescue of half
of the crew of the submarine
Squalus off Portsmouth, N. H
and helping salvage it for war
time duties in the Pacific which
have been cited by President
Roosevelt.
Booby Traps Abound

traps ana underwater explosives
which undoubtedly have been
sown in Cherbourg's harbor and
secreted in waterfront facilities
by the Germans in an effort to
delay uce of the harbor as long
as possible.
The importance of swift acqui
sition of these facilities is ob
vious. Once the harbor is clear
of sunken obstructions or their
position charted and the mines
and other explosives neutralized,
the port can be used to pour in
supplies and troops aboard deep
water vessels without danger
from wind and tide the twin
factors which have been imped

In the days of peace, Cher
bourg was a Channel calling
port for trans-Atlantic 'ners.
Thousands of American tourists
have crowded the rails In bygone
years as the liners steamed
through the second breakwater
into the quiet waters of the
Petite Rade.
It will be a different scene
when the small boats of this
convoy gingerly pick a path be

Officer Surprised
When Nazis Revive
Big Coastal Guns
Cherbourg, June 28 (U.R)
One of the most surprised men
in this campaign probably was
Lt. Charles Rhodes, of 2102 Fair
field Ave., Hollywood, Calif., an
army public relations pictorial
officer, who was sitting on top
of Fort Roule, which had sup
posedly been surrendered to
American assault troops, when
the fort's big coastal guns three
stories below cut loose.
"At first I thought coastal guns
In the vicinity were firing at us
," Rhodes said. "Then I looked
below and saw the blast of the
huge guns. I found the colonel,
who immediately detailed a
SQUad to trv to find nrrMi in h
subterranean hideout."
The colonel sent for Capt.
Robert B. Klrkpatrlck, East
