RATION BOARD
ANNOUNCEMENT
Fuel Oil Coupon Valid Dates,
Sugar Stamp No. IL and
Coffee Stamp No. %
POINT RATIONING

Period fuel oil coupons are
valid from December %, 1912 to
February 16, 1943 for 9 gallons.
Period coupons are valid from
January 81 to April 6, good for 9
gallons. The unit value for period
4 fuel oil ration coupon Class l is
reduced to s gallons, Glass 2 re-
duced to so gallons, both changes
to be effffective in Zone B only.
Delaware is in Zane C. The reason
for this stetp is the seriousness of
the supply situation. This is an
emergency step and if the supply
situation improves sufficiently dur
ing the month of February fuel oil
ration to consumers will be increas-
ed correspondingly, according to
James L. Luke, State OPA Direc-
tor. All holders of rations for heat
ing and hot water in buildings
other than private dwellings were
required to forward their ration
coupons to the local board by Feb
ruary 1, 1943, together with a
statement certifying the percent
age of the building that may or
may not be used for residential pur-
poses. Due to the accute shortage
in the fuel oil situation, the Ration
Board has been instructed to make
a certain deduction in the coupons
that are remaining on each ration
sheet.
Industrial Users
All industrial users of fuel oil
are required to certify to the Ra-
ton Boards as to whether they use
fuel oil in accordance with Schedule
"A" of PAW Order 3, which can be
seen at the local board. If they
are users who appear on Schedule
"a, and they so certify, they are
not required to forward their cou-
pons to the board. However, if
they certify that they do not APP
pear on Schedule "a, they are OBJ
ligated to forward their ration cou-
pons to the local board for reduc-
ton in coupons amounting to 40
per cent Each industrial user will
also be required to furnish certif-
cation to their supplier as to
whether they are on Schedule "a"
operations or not, and will not be
able to obtain deliveries of oil after
February 2, 1943 unless proper
certifcation has been made to their
supplier.
