TIGHTEN UP RULE ON RATIONING OF PASSENGER TIRES Only The Most Essential Persons Can Secure Tires In The Near Future In an important change in tire regulations, OPA has announced that eligibility for new passenger car tires now will be on an “oc cupational” basis rather than on the basis of mileage traveled. This step was taken, an OPA statement said, to conserve inade quate stocks of new tires and the rapidly diminishing supply of used passenger tires available for ra tioning. “Since there are not enough tires to meet all essential needs,” L. W. Driscoll, district OPA di rector at Charlotte said, “local rationing boards will have to do a most careful screening job in considering applications filed by persons eligible under the new program within the already tight tire quotas assigned to boards. Motorists doing work most essen tial to the war effort, the public health and safety, will have to come first.” Under the new pro gram tires will be rationed in the following orders First: New tires (Grade I) to the most essential drivers accord ing to a list of essential occupa tions which has been furnished to local boards. Persons in these groups may also get certificates for Grade III tires, if new ones are not available. Second: Used tires and “war tires” (Grade III) will go to es sential users. Third: Motorists who do not use their cars in connection with their work will continue to be ineligible for tires of any sort and must con tinue to rely on repairs and re capping. Fourth: In the southeast, no driver holding an “A” card is eligible to buy tires of any sort. FSA OFFICE NOW - FROM PAGE ONE - ing at the Farm Security office and reviewed the work of the past year.
