Intracoastal Route Could Ease Eastern Gas Shortage
Discussion grows around using barges on the Intracoastal Waterway to alleviate fuel shortages along the eastern seaboard. The 3,500 mile sheltering waterway runs from Boston to the Rio Grande with limited sea-attack protection between New York and Norfolk. A proposed plan envisions a deep canal from Sayreville to Bordentown and onward through Delaware’s canal system to Chesapeake Bay.

DeMille Gives War Charity to Dutch Relief Fund
Cecil B. DeMille, who edited and produced Land of Liberty for the movie industry, designated a war charity to receive 5000 of the receipts and recently gave it to the Queen Wilhelmina Fund for Dutch relief. He is noted as a Holland-born descendant who emigrated in 1658. In TV terms a new plot twist is a shot in the arm, though Valiant Lady on air was a shot in the heart as Joan Blaine, widowed a week, met a young millionaire.
