First Steps Taken Last
Night to Conserve
' Fuel
COMPLY WITH ORDER;
Request From Fuel Administrator to
Curtail Lijrhtinjr Unt? Crisis in Fuel
Situation is Over.
The conservation of fuel was in
augurated in Alexandria last night
for the first time since the coal
shortage has been prevailing.
This was done by cutting down
store lights one half and doing away j
wi^i window display and outside j
lights and also all other unneces
sary lights. As a result King
street, the main business thorough
fare of the city, was practically j
dark la?t night for the first time j
in many years.
Practically all of the merchants j
complied -with the request of the j
officials of the 4 Alexandria County
Lighting Company to curtail their
light supply.
The request came through Edgar
A. Feldtkeller, general superintend
ent of the Alexandria County Light
ing Company, in order to comply
with the Fuel Administrators' or
ders, his coming" through D. E.
Spangler. chairman, Pocahontas Reg
ional Coal -Committee.
Fuel Administration Issues Conser
.? vaticn Orders
Mfr; 'Feldtkeller today issued the j
following statement:
"Pursuant with the following or
ders from the United States Rail
rftnd. Administration acting under
orders frtfii Fuef^Aftministrator. Jr,
Harry A. Garfield, we notified as
many of our customers .as we were
able to reach last night, requesting
them to comply with the instruc
tions regarding curtailment of light
and power during the present coa!
shortage.
While our coal supply during the
past weeks has-- been--very limited, |
we have been exercising every pos- j
sible. precaution in an effort to re- j
duce our .coal consumption to a j
minimum. Through these efforts on j
our: part we were able to continue
to supply cur customers, without
curtailment, although many other
lighting and power companies who j
were less fortunate, have been
forced to partialiy shut off their j
supply of electric energy, and in j
some cases to shut down altogether, j
As thiOv demand for coal is greatly [
in excess of the supply and in spite j
of the settleme-nt of the strike and j
the administrations best efforts- to '
increase production it becomes net- i
css?>" to conserve the coal-for os-i
sential purposes only. ? Unless the
instructions covering curtailment of j
use of coal and eleotric energy gen- i
crated hy coal are promptly com
plied with, and strictly adhered to
further drastic steps will become
necessary to prevent a national i
famine. >
We were pleased to note the wil- '
lingness to comply with these or- ;
ders shown by al! the customers we j
were able t^ notify last night, and '
urge all .of our patrons to prompt
obedience of these orders so that ]

RED CROSS XM AS SEALS
Reports from the various p :ir.ts j
established in our community for the
sale of the Red Cross C hristmas
seals, are very gratifying, the de
mand for the seals being most ac
tive.
Every Red Cross stamp pur
chased mean a contribution to the I
public health and a help towards the j
work of education that is saving
....
lives. Virginia loses annually 4.000 j
lives from tuberculosis; has 40.000 i
people suffering from the diseas-; ;
250.000 slightly infected. S<> every:
dollar spent in Red Cross seals in i
Alexandria will be devoted to the i
fight against tubercu'osis in Yir- i
ginia.
Let our people then buy Red
Cross seals to show that they realize i
that health is worth fighting for
and worth pnying for.

Mrs. Sprinjrman. wife of Kenneth
M. F. Sprintrman. whose husband
mysteriously disappeared last Mon
day afternoen stated today that she
had heard n?> further tidings con
?erninjr the whereabouts nf her bus
?x*;1'".. v ? -v ?>?
Mrs. Sprin.L'inan says she feels
Lhorouvhly convinced that her hus j
band ha*- been the victim of fou! ?
?day. She says, she can constantly j
>ce a picture before her eyes ofj
three nun with caps drawn over j
their eyes struggling w'th her bus-j
l>and. Slu is of the opinion that f
?hese men held him up and after |
robbing him did away "with hi.s body, j
and she fhink> that the body will b ? j
found in the woods.
iMrs. Sprintrman further stated j
that when Ivr husband left he ha:! :
i l>ank account of SV.OO and that thi j
money order fur 810 sent him som J
*-:mc a'/fi by his brother she found j
In th" pocket of his trousers worn 1
.'or dress occasions.
The facts strengthen the belief of
Mrs. Sprinrman that her husband
ias been the victim of foul play.
. The police say that they have no
further clew t<? the whereabout* of
'??prin;.rman whose disappearance t>>
lay is as much a mystery as the.
lav he vanished.
It is stated by some persons thai j
there was no blood about the.truck I
?>n which Sprinirman was a driver j
??nd neithcY' did the ground indicate
fhat there had been a struggle.
However, it. is pointed out that
veil though he were attacked by
rubbers this would not have neces-'
-ari'y followed as he might have !
been thrown from the truck at sonu
ether point and attacked and the
truck brought as far as Four mile
