Men over 38 who have been anxi-

and continue their civilian work with
the assurance that they are in an age
group not acceptable for induction
into military service. Local boards
have been instructed to place regis-
trants of 38 and over in IV-A, to re-
tain in I-C all men honorably dis-
charged and to discontinue the I-A

may not be removed from this class-

Gasoline Situation Is Tight
The average civilian motorist should
expect no increase in his gasoline
ration for the next several months,
at least not before the end of the war
with Germany, the Office of Price
Administration says. Civilian stocks
of gasoline built up last winter have
been greatly reduced despite increas-
ed imports and record domestic pro.,
duction. Civilian grade gasoline
stocks have decreased approximately
two million barrels in 30 days.

For satisfactory home storage select
good fully dried onions, keep in a well
ventilated, dry place in temperatures
as near to freezing as possible with-
out freezing. Onions store satisfac-
torily at temperatures from 32 to 55
degrees. Pantry or attic usually is
superior to cellar. Never pack onions
closly in a closed conzner. Spread
ing on a screen placed overhead in a
garage or back porch is good if tem-
peratures remain above freezing.
Good quality onions will keep several
weeks under ordihary room temper-
atures at this time of the year.

Col. Myron G. Blalock.
An appeal to the Democrats of
Texas not only to aid in winning
an overwhelming victory for the
Roosevelt-Truman ticket in Texas,
but to help in the election of a
democratic Congress was made to-
day by Col. Myron G. Blalock of
Marshall, Democratic National
Committeeman for Texas. Colonel
Blalock heads the State campaign,
with headquarters in the Hotel
Adolphus, Dallas. 6
“We are seeking a million votes
for the Democratic nominees and
also to raise $150,000 for the Dem-
ocratic Party in Texas,” Col. Bla-
lock says. “If Sam Rayburn is to
remain Speaker of the House and
other Texas Congressmen are to
head important committees, we
must help elect a Democratic Con-
gress. Funds raised in Texas, after
the Texas campaign has been fi-
nanced, will be sent to the Demo-
cratic National Executive Commit-
tee to be used in support of Dem-
ocratic candidates for Congress in
other parts of the country. The
Democratic National Executive
Committee is appealing to every
loyal Texas Democrat to help this
campaign for funds.”
