Brooklawn Club Weighs Fuel Options For Winter

The Brooklawn country club faces a fuel choice as the U S Fuel Administration restricts private clubs from burning coal, wood, peat or other fuels from December to April unless a permit is granted. Wood or peat may be used if available without rail transport, or with a state certificate and public-interest clearance. The Brooklawn Club, compliant so far, is expected not to secure a permit due to anthracite shortages, and converting to wood or peat would need major heating system changes. The notice also records enlistments of Thurston Carlson, 18, of 99 Fox Street, and Elus Proper, 36, of 198 George Street, in British recruitment.
