The office of price administra

"from Maine to Florida" to halt
pleasure driving on "A," "B"

ence of passenger cars at places
of amusement, recreation and
entertainment'
In its definition of permitted
driving are included essential
shopping, going to the. doctor,
attending church, attending fu
nerals, going to business or pro
fessional meetings, or driving
for the purpose of meeting an
emergency "involving a threat'
to life, health, or property."
In cases of flagrant violation,
OPA stated, the asency's own
inspectors can request motorists
to surrender their ration books
on the spot, but state or local
police officials assisting OPA do
not have this power.
