DRIVERS TOLD
OF NEW "A BOOK
Local Ration Board to Mail
Renewal of Gasoline
Forms This Month
PROCEDURE GIVEN

Detailed instructions for mail re-
newal of "A" gasoline ration books
in the II eastern states and the
Distsict of Columbia have been for
warded to the Smyrna War Price
and Rationing Board with the sug-
gestion that application forms be
distributed as soon as possible, the
OPA announced today. The local
rationing board will begin distribu-
ton of new books this month. The
expiration date of eastern motor
lists present "a" books is unde-
termined, OPA emphasized. 1t had
been hoped that an improvement in
the gasoline supply situation might
make possible an increase in "A''
rations for fasteners. This in
crease would have been accomplish
ed by advancing the present expir-
alton dae of AS" coupons from
November 81 to sometime in Octo-
her. At the present time, however,
the supply situation in the East is
not sufficiently improved to make
an increase possible, and motorists
must plan to make their "A-6"
coupons last through November %.
/ Renewal Procedure
The renewal procedure will be
simple. Motorists may obtain re-
newal forms at all Official Tire In
spection Stations in the State of
delaware. Applicants for renewed
rations must mail the forms back
to their local rationing board. The
applicant must be sure to attach
(1) the back cover of his present
ga" book properly signed, and (2)
a current tire inspection record
showing that proper inspections
have been made. After checking
the applications to make sure that
the motorist is entitled to a new
ga" book, the board will issue it
through the mail. All "A-7" cou-
Ipons (first page will be detached
from the new books. Motorists, on
the date that the new book be-
comes valid, will begin using "A-8'
coupons. These coupons will not be
accepted for purchases of gasoline
until that date, which will be an
inounced.
