GASOLINE
RATIONING

last
night
ordered
gasoline
rationing
for
the
east's
10,000,000
motorists
by
cutting
deliveries
of
fuel
to
service
stations
by
10
percent
but
not

commercial,
emergency,

and

vehicles
so
the
cut
to

may
amount
to

percent.
The
unprecedented
peacetime
order
makes
the
man

The
order
leaves
it

looks
exceptionally

fit
although
he
did
not
appear
toj
be
altogether
pleased
when

stepped
on
the
scales
In
Jim
Mc-Nulty's
hardware
store
and
found
that
he
tipped
a
balance
at
215
pounds.
"That's
the
heaviest
I
ever
weighed
In
my
life,"
he
remarked.
,
It
Is
not
due
to
lack
of
work
either,
he
commented,
as

confided
that
the
provincial
Prime
Minister
had
been
having
a
very
busy
summer.

office.
He,
took
over
the
broom
to
show
'John
ny"
that
he
knew
something
about
sweeping
sidewalks
as
well
as
election
campaigns.
The
Premier
was
In
particularly
good
humor,
remarking
that
tnis,
was
no
political
tour
but
merely
time
out
to
meet
his'
constituents.
It
was
Intimated
that
