The X cards issued include 61 for trucks, ambulances, and hearses, which do not require ra tioning cards to secure gas. Of the remaining 200 X cards out standing, a considerable number appear to be outside ration regu lation requirements calling for a 95 per cent use of the vehicle in the specific work designated in the application. If such vehicle is not so used “ all, or substantial ly all” — interpreted as 95 per cent —- the X cards should be at once turned in to the rationing board for another card of lower denomination. Discontinuance in whole or substantial part of serv ices requested under X card makes necessary the prompt surrender of card. Expect New Car Quota \ The. Yates county quota of auth orizations for purchase of new passenger automobiles will run out May 31, when a new quota will probably, be set, though no advice has yet been received. The last meeting of the rationing board at which applications for author ization v under the present quota can be considered, will be Friday, May 29. Inasmuch as the Penn Yan stores will be closed on Satur day — Memorial • day — the majority of them will remain open Friday night until 9:00 o'clock for th e : convenience of then* customers who ordinarily plan to do their, shopping on Saturday evenings.
