Extend Time For Templin Fund Drive
The tenure of the general committee which was appointed to direct the issuance of invitations to contribute to the Templin Fellowship Fund has been extended from Dec. 6, 1942, through Jan. 31, 1943. This extension was prompted by re-newed interest in the Fund.
At the end of the period the committee plans to make its final report. The fund was started shortly before "Pearl Harbor" on the occasion of Prof. Olin Templin's 80th birthday. Professor Templell, former Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and a teacher of philosophy for more than fifty years, retired in the spring of 1937.
Both Professor and Mrs. Templin were members of the graduating class of 1883. Professor Templin has repeatedly stated that he is a firm believer in the alphabetical seating arrangement of students in class rooms as that was the means by which he became acquainted with his wife.
The professor is still active as the secretary of the University Endowment association.

Truman Finds Fuel Shortage
Washington, (INS), The Senate war investigating committee today called for simplification of gasoline and fuel oil rationing while at the same time declaring that rationing is necessary and warning of an increased shortage of fuel oil in the future.
The committee's report, which was submitted to the Senate by Chairman Harry S. Truman, Missouri, after an exhaustive inquiry, assailed government bureaues for complicating the problem by lack of prompt action to provide pipelines and barge transportation.
The committee recommended that immediate steps be taken to open up new coal mines in District 15 to provide emergency fuel for Iowa, Missouri, and Nebraska, and adjoining states.
