TEN THE BULLETIN OF THE CATHOLIC LAYMEN’S ASSOCIATION OF GEORGIA JUNE 27. 1942 Order Restricts Use of Critical Materials in Making Church Goods (By N. C. W. C. News Service) WASHINGTON.—Use. of critical war materials in such religious ar ticles as crucifixes, rosaries, med als, chalices and candlesticks is prohibited by an order just issued by the War Production Board. After June 23, no manufacturer of church goods may produce or assemble items containing alumi num, chromium, copper, lead (ex cept for soldiers), magnesium, nickel, rubber, silk, tin, zinc, and alloy metals. Iron, steel, silver, gold and wood may be used in place of the critical materials, WPB announced. The Office of Price Administra tion has placed on price regula tions relating to church goods an interpretation whereby Bible and prayerbooks, being books, will not be covered by the regulation fix ing maximum prices. Crucifixes and rosaries are among the ar ticles affected by the regulation. Unless they are antiques, “origin al and unique,” statues and pic tures also are covered by the reg ulation. Inquiry at the OPA disclosed that regulations for the rationing of gasoline under the new coupon plan after July 1 have not yet been officially approved. However, it was believed here that with re lation to clergymen needing the use of their automobiles the regu lation will be applied with every possible regard for the special re quirements of their ministry. It is thought that clergymen will re ceive “C” books, which will en title them to additional amounts of gasoline in such quantities as will permit them to carry out their work of ministering to the spiritual needs of civilians. The recent drastic limitation order on the use of charter buses announced by the Office of De fense Transportation does not ap ply to traveling for the purpose of attending religious services at the ordinary place of weekly wor ship, according to an announce ment by the ODT.
