 Canned Milk Rationing
 All retailers of canned milk are advised by the Watertown War Price and Rationng Board that they should keep record of the amount in pounds and point value, of canned milk in their inventory on June 1943.
 Persons regularly dealing ir canned milk on June and not al ready operating under ration order Is are rot required to register with OPA.
 Fuel Oil Rationing
 The WatertoWn War Price anG Rationing Board has received infor- nation about the aVaila bility oi fuel oils for next winter. It is fact that, because of our geographical position between the oil fields oi this country and the campaign areas of Europe and Africa, great DOT tion of the oil which comes into this section cannot be used b~ civilians here. It is needed more urgently tC get ships across the ocean with sup plies for our men and allies there and to take oil to them for their planes and mechanical units. A single American destroyer in one round trip to Africa uses enough fuel oil to heat 175 WatertoWn homes all winter. WatertoWn inhabi- tants, therefore. cannot look forward to any great easing up of gasoline and fuel oil restrictions.
 Kerosene for next winter will probably be brought here in 55 gal lon drums in freight cars because of the limited number of tank cars.
 The renewals for fuel oil are now available, and householders are urged to bear in mind the above facts when they receive their cou- pons for the 194344 season.
 The rationing of fuel oil in the IT eastern seaboard states this past season actually saved 30 million barrels of oil, while 8 million barrels of oil were saved by conversions.
