EMIL SCHMIDT.---------------v---------------PLAYING WITH FIRE People who store supplies of gasoline on their premises, fearing that rationing may make it impossible for them to obtain as much gas as they want in the future, are taking a dangerous chance. That highly important warning has just been issued by the Engineering Department of the National Board of Fire Underwriters. In the early days of motoring, gasoline could be bought in special five-gallon containers. Today, cans of that type are not available. Obtainable containers, for the most part, are not tight. Some are easily broken. Even when a tightly-capped metal container is employed, a hazard still exists. A hole may be eaten in the bottom which will allow slow leakage of the gas. That leak might not be noticed until enough explosive vapor had accumulated to cause a disastrous fire. When gas is stored in a basement, the vapor released can be ignited by the fire in the furnace. And even if the container is both leak• proof and structurally sound, a very great danger arises when the gas is poured into the car. Many cases are on record where static electricity exploded the vapor — at the cost of lives. The National Board of Fire Underwriters urges fire chiefs and other officials to do all they can to prevent improper storage of gas. Garages should be rigorously inspected, and all mediums of communication should be used to show the public the danger involved. So — don’t store gas in or about your home. It may void your insurance policy. And it could very easily bring death and disaster to your family. No Price Too Great TIUJNOER OVER lUi Detroit, Michigan------------------------Verhovayak Lapja JOE TOTH HITS 637 AS VERHOV AY SWEEPS THREE GAMES FROM HINKY DINK BAR With ony six weeks of bowling remaining in the Verhovay Bowling League, it seems as if Verhovay Br. 36, has just about- cinched the title for the 42—43 season. They won three games from Hinky Dink Bar to boast their lead to nine games. Joe Toth powered Verhovay with 209,225, and 203 for a big 637 series. The Verhovay team has a great combination of players with one player taking up the load when another has fallen down; and of late, Joe Toth has really helped to keep his team in the lead for top honors. The Hinky Dink boys found it hard to get going, as Andy Konkoly led with 498. The Yale Inn team took three games from Gabe’s Bar to tie for fourth place in the league standings. The Yale Inn five has been doing fine shooting this last half of the season, and have jumped from last place up to fourth. John Chonka paced Yale Inn with 248, in 601. Bill Nyeste led Gabe’s Bar with a 568 series. Yona and Buda took their customary two games as they beat Molnár Grocery. The boys still have an outside chance to edge into second place. Steve Rozany led with 521, while Lou Malone had a nice 564 series for the losing Molnár five. Molnár Funeral Home took two games from Himler Printing, as everyone on the Molnár Team shot 520 or better, with Eugene Vargo, who, although he is a clown in his zoot suit, but nevertheless, a fine bowler, led with 214 in 568. Carl Mészáros paced Himler’s with a 533 series. News of the canceling of the Verhovay National Bowling Tournament was viewed with a great deal of disappointment by the Verhovay Bowlers. Those who had the privilege of going to Pittsburgh last year had a wonderful time, and had hoped to make the trip again as the team representing Detroit. However, under the present con-, ditions, they understand that it would have been quite difficult to stage the tournament. The boys from Detroit suggest having a Regional Tourna ment, by which the teams close together in their section of the country might eliminate one another, and thus have a ttegional Champion, such as one from the East and Midwest. Let’s bring out the Fraternal competition from among the various branches. The past week found two Banks must serve a double purpose hereafter. In addition to rendering financial service, they must render ration service. Ration coupons and stamps are rapidly becoming a supplementary form of money. Money itself is worthless without a ration coupon. Merchants who accept coupons must present them in turn to proper authorities before they can restock the commodities represented by the coupons. more, of the boys from the Verhovay League answering their call to colors. Eugene Vargo enlisted in the Army Air Corp and will be called about the middle of April, so that he will be able to complete the season with the Molnár Funeral Team. Carl Mészáros also received his notice to join the world’s top team, and will enter March 19th. Although Carl’s team has been in the cellar for most of the season, I am sure he will end up with a winning team with the U. S. A. A couple of swell fellows, and good luck to you both! Fraternally yours, PAUL SZEGŐ Instead of letting m' llions of coupons pile up in stores and shops, to be bundled up and sent to wholesalers and suppliers by the bale along with orders for more goods, they can now be disposed of through the banks. In other words, the banks will handle the coupons much the same as they handle money checking accounts. And the merchant must keep a checkbook for ration “currency”, just as he now keeps a checkbook for money. The magnitude of the task of setting up a separate banking system for the new “money,” in view of already existing labor shortages and other bank operating handicaps, will be formidable. But bankers, like farmers, workers and business men are just one more group anxious to expedite the winning of the war. No price is too great if it will help to guarantee the preservation of constitutional government and individual liberty.
