Rationing Ties Up
4,000 Nassau Cars
It would appear from figures of
the Nassau County Rationing
Board that nearly 4,000 drivers
hern have laid up bheir cars rather
than keep up the futile Hght for
more gas. Surveys are already
coming in from traffic posts show-ing
3;5 per cent decreases in road
use. The national average of cars
said to be either junked or stored
for the duration is said to run as
high as ten per cent.
.County Administrator Augustus
B. Wcller reveals that 118,964
automobile owners registered for
the basic A books at the schools
in June. Added to subsequent ap-plications,
th? County's total may
exceed 120,000. More than 126,000
cars and boats were registered in
the nrst rationing plan, about 2500
being of the latter. Long lines In

day show that those who have to,

A few weeks agor County Execu-tive
J. Russel Sprague ordered all
the heads of County departments
to collect their scrap metal so It
could be turned back for use in
the war. It was announced re-cently
by Joseph H. McCloskey, su-perintendent
of buildings who was
placed in charge of the drive, that
more than thirty-three tons have
been collected at eleven different
places.
Clerk of the Board of Super-visors
diaries Strohson has asked
for its sale by the County. The
County jail yielded nearly a ton
in old beds and iron bars. From
the Mosquito Commission came
one and a half tons of worn out
tools, engine parts, old machinery.
The store house and carpenter's
shop at the Fair Grounds dug up
approximately three tons of ob-solete
cabinets, broken counters,
racks, etc.
Old license plates from the Fifth
Police Precinct netted 500 pounds.
The Department of Public Works
found 13,000 pounds at Roslyn and
two old concrete mixers in Oyster
Bay. weighing .four tons. The
County garage in South Hempstead
ana the garage in Manhasset real-ized
two and twelve tons respec-tively
in old plows, fence posts,
axle shafts, etc.
The bidders on this great pile of
junk will be conducted to all
eleven storage centers to save ex-pense
of gathering It all in one
place. Those thirty-three tons
should make plenty of weight In

and that's always the biggest day of the year for Freeport mcr-chanla.
Rut 1942 will be an exception to the rule.
With material of all sorts be-coming
scarcer and scarcer due to

Dollar Day is the time to buy for
the future as well as for the pres-ent.
More than 100 Frerport mer-chants
are participating in Dollar

D. Easter lln is chairman. Each of

an annual Dollar Day. On
this day, Lhe second Thursday in

is one of the best business days
of the year for the local stores.

when . Richard Walker, who was
suffering from '#ii incurable, dis-.
ease, was named^commander. Un-til

various reasons there were numer-ous
changes in the official stan*

that .few officers have served

Consequently, the nominating com-mittee

Samuel M. Levy.
"By reason of the dimout, of the

Hectors on the cars." the report
eads. "Under the dimout order,

cars could be visible.

"It must 6e realized that the

that if cars were parked jwith their

violation of the dimout order.
"In residential districts much of

would park theircara in house

The report pointed out Ocean

Building as one of the
worst streets, because of the many
meetings conducted there, and
continued:
"The cars of tenants of apart-ment
Bouses present the most se-rious
problem. This problem ex-isted
before the war, and the con-dition
was reluctantly tolerated. It
must now be realized that no one
has a right to use the* streets for
arage purposes. Now that the
xtra hazard has been created/ the
use of the streets for garage pur-poses
should be stopped* This will
require prompt cooperation by the
owners and tenants of the apart-ment
houses.
