Makes Fuel


Maurice Guy has been approved
by the Office OF Price Administra.
ton to estimate fuel requirements
for users OF oil fuel who petition
their ration board for q suppl
mentary supply.
Mr.. Guy says, While II Is not in-
tended that any user Of fuel oil
should burn as much as he did In
any past heating season, II Is posi-
BILE for certain users 10 obtain an
auxiliary supply. The Office Of Price
Administration allows additional
fuel only to those who can prove
eligibility to their local ration board.
Eligible persons are supplied form
which must be signed by physician
or engineer, and in some cases the
signature OF both Is required. While
an engineer may calculate the
amount OF fuel he thinks Is neces-
sary 10 fill his clients needs, his
function is not to obtain all the oil
the client desires. His statement is
used as a basis for further rationinr
by the ration board.

said, the white workers rose up
