Gallipolis residents John Lutz and two young children escaped a fast spreading house fire at 610 First Avenue with the aid of neighbor Leo Mossman a Holzer Hospital pharmacist. Mossman borrowed a ladder from nearby and helped the family climb down from a second floor window to safety. Mrs Lutz and infant Johnny were awakened at about 7 50 am and Barbara aged five assisted by the mother exited through smoke filled halls and found a window to signal for help. The mother described a sudden inferno blocking the stairs and choking smoke as they fled to safety.

Meatless Tuesday Ordered in Mason County War Rationing
The Mason County War Price and Rationing Board proposes a weekly meatless Tuesday to aid civilian supplies. The Community Service Panel urges homes and restaurants to avoid meat and use substitutes, citing increased military meat needs and only modest civilian supply growth. Officials note many households lack home meat stocks and encourage home killing of meat to reduce demand. Members of the panel and other local officials support the measure as a common-sense conservation effort.
