this week. Though as many
as 300 can be accommodated.
rarely are there more than fifty

Motorists who had hoped the
Government might bc^a little le-nient
with A-cbupon holders, are
doomed to disappointment.
Unit 6 gasoline coupons which
become valid to-day must last
until November 21. The value of
each cuupon is the same as in
the past, three gallons.. Thus as
there are eight coupons, tt
means 24 gallons of gasoline
must last four months. In other
words A-coupon holders will be
permitted to use only six gallons
a month on the average unless
the Government comes to the
rescue later on.
For "the more strenuously in-clined
there are the following fa-cilities:
One full size baseball diamond.
Three softball diamonds.
Valley Ball court.
Badminton court.
Four tennis courts.

Roller skating rink with blea-chers.
Two handball courts.
