GASOLINE RATIONING
The permanent Gasoline Ration
program becomes effective on
22nd. On and after that date
_ gasoline purchased for any
purpose must be purchased with
a coupon from one of the gasoline
rationing books which have and
are being issued to all users of
gasoline.
In order to clear some points
of confusion the following infor
mation is given:
If the owner of a passenger car
failed to register for a basic “A”
book during the regular days of
registration, an application for
such book may be filed with the
local board at any time after
July 22nd.
UiUIiO iui
rations for passenger cars, ser
vice rations for trucks, etc., and
non-highway uses of gasoline may
be filed with the board at any
time.
s- -jBfc a car is sold the gasoline
fiSron book must be returned to
the local board. If cars are
traded, a new ration book must
be issued, and the old book re
turned to the board within five
days after the car was traded in.
Coupon books cannot be borrow
ed for use with a car other than
that for which it was issued. How
ever, any one authorized to drive
the owner’s car may use the
ration book for that specific car
and purchase gasoline for it..
Contrary to the temporary ra
tion plan, auto owners may not
save coupons for the purchase of
a large supply of gasoline. Tfeat
is, each page of coupons (of a
basic “A” book) expires at a giv
en date. Page 1 of the “A” book
