care, put that much less strain
upon the productive energies of
the nation."

Small Homes To Get
More Kerosene
The OPA announced today
that occupants of the 1 % million
homes in the country depending
on oil stoves or kerosense
heaters for warmth, cooking and
light, will benefit from simplification
of the fuel coupons systems
recently initiated.
Heretofore, these users of oil
and kerosene, a large number
of whom are Negroes, have
found it necesary to fill out a
new application form for cooking
and light fuel every three
months. Under the simplication
tho ViAnoaVi Aldor will hovo nnlv
to certify to his ration board
that his requirements, in number
of users and amount of
equipment, have not changed.
In addition, families using
kerosene and oil stoves for heating
purposes and having a ration
of less than 200 gallons for the
season, will find under the new
regulations that there will be
no limit on the use of a coupon.
Previously each coupon was good
for one of the five rationing
periods, and the amount of fuel
oil obtainable during that period
was set by rationing boards.
Especially to benefit small consumers,
the Office of Price Administration
has now made it
possible for users to turn in
their coupons for heating fuel
at any time the need arlseB.
The ?mall consumer Is also
benefited by the fact that he
can obtain 20 per cent more fuel
for an oil or kerosene burning
stove than users of a furnace
can get. Regulations require
that, in addition to filling out
application / number 1100, the
consumer brings to the ration
board measurements of the

colors and Taces can work together
and live together for the
common good.
"We honor tonight a master
mariner. To Captain Mulzac has
fallen the distinction of being
the first Negro to command a
merchant vessel in American
maritime history. He wears his
mantle well. The CIO, of which
