Rationing
The OPA announced gasoline card
rationing in Oregon and Washington
will begin June 1 and continue until
July 1, when a coupon rationing plan
will be placed in effect. The WPB
restricted deliveries of fuel oil and
gasoline to the two West Coast states
to 50 per cent of normal deliveries,
effective immediately for oil and
June 1 for gasoline.
Petroleum Coordinator Ickes said
there is no immediate need for cur
tailing deliveries of petroleum prod
ucts elsewhere in the country. The
OPA removed the 50-mile zone
west of the East Coast rationing area
where motorists from the rationed
area were to have been required to
present cards for gasoline.
Local ration boards will be direct
ed to open their records to public in
spection as soon as practicable, the
OPA announced. The agency also
said gasoline dealers will be respon
sible for checking ration cards to
determine whether they have enough
units to cover purchases, to see that
the descriptions on them apply to the j
cars for which they are presented,
and to destroy or mark used ration 1
card units. Commerce Secretary
Jones announced the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation will make $150

sible. Canvass your farm from the attic to the fartherest fence corner. Ga
ther every bit of old metal and rubber into a conveniently located pile and drop
u post card to this garage telling us approximately how many pounds you have
collected.
Your curd will be turned over to a scrap dealer who prepares scrap for the
mills, llis truck will be routed past your farm to pick up your scrap soon and
get it started toward the fighting front.
This garage collects this information and passes it along as a patriotic service
without commission or profit of any kind. Our work in this campaign and
the cost of this advertising is our contribution to victory.
