State and local governments reduced vehicle use to cut total travel by more than 32 000 000 miles in the past year. The program continues this year as Harold J Cruger is named state printing superintendent effective March 1. Cruger succeeds Harold J Blazer who left the post to return to the micrograph department. The report also notes a third straight year of low honey production in Illinois with 4 966 000 pounds gathered, 13 percent above 1948 but 30 percent below the five year average, amid cold wet spring and dry summer in 1944. Beekeepers report a satisfactory winter if properly cared for.
