Do You Want a New Coal Stove? .Anybody in Franklin County who wants to(leud u hand in the nation's oil-conservation program by replacing bis present oil-fired heating stove with a new coal stove, will have the government's help, A. P. Johnson, chairman, of the local rationing boajd, said today in announcing Ol'A's stove rationing program. "Rationing of new coal stoves began on December 18," Mr. Johnson said, "and should do a great deal to save fuel oil here -in Franklin County as well as in other counties^ where supplies of fuel are low. * ?* "This is aif extremely simple rationing program," , said Mr. Johnson, "designed to make it as easy ,as possible for anyone who is eligible, to apply for and buy a 'new coal stove. Wood stoves and second-hand staves are hot included in the program." Since the main purpose of this program is to save fuel oil, any one who 'will use the stove to re Pl.ac^jdt" oil heater is eligible for a purchase certificate. He must however, turn in all his unused and unexpired oil coupons. The following may also buy rationed stoves: 1. Anyone who needs a stove to heat essential living or work ing space for which he has no stove at all may~J>PPly to the Board for a certificate. He must state in his application" that he has not disposed of a heater that could have done the Job, within 60 days of the time he applies for a new one. 1 2. Anyone whose present coal burning equipment is damaged Or worn out beydnd repair, is also eligible to buy one of the new coal stoves under rationing pro gram. 3. Persons who were granted an auxiliary ration of 350 or more gallons of fuel oil, because of illness or infirmity in the fam- j ily or other repsons, niay buy a coal stove to use instead. Such persons will be asked Ao turn in their ration stamps for supple mentary oil when they apply for a purchase certificate. 'Anyone eligible to buy a new coal stove under the rationing program, just follows these sim ple instructions," says, Mr. John son. , "First, obtain at the board of fice an .application- form, and fill out the information called for. We're using the same forms that, are used for rationing typewriters so there's a supply>on hand and ho 'need for any delay. "Second, if the Board accepts ?your application, it will issue to you a certificate which will be' your authority to purchase the stove at any store you choose. "Third, when you've decided on the stove yoa;/e going to buy, give the purchase certificate to your dealer. And that's all there is to it." Although new coal stoves have "been hard to get in Louisburg for some time, the OPA says that the Army is releasing some of its "Victory" model stoves ? ^original ly made for heating army ; bar racks ? for sale by local dealers. The War Production Board has recognized the great need for coal stoves in the fue.l oil states, and has arranged for the release of both materials and plant capac ity to manufacture stoves for ci vilian use. These stoves are all being ship ped into the fuel oil rationed states, and dealers should soon be able to have stocks for meet ing the ration demand, While coal stoves are to be ra tioned as freely as possible under the new order, the sale of A oil stoves will be practically ^topped.
