For New Gas Rations

Applications for the new A and D
gasoline ration books for use after
November are tagging, and some
motorists will be left without ra-
tions, the District Office of Price
Administration has warned.
OPA Director Robert K. Thomp-
son said yesterday reports reaching
his Office from the 16 local boards
show motorists are not filing ap-
plications for renewals. He warned
that failure to file at the earliest
possible date will result in pro-
longed delay in the issuance of new
coupons"
ALL coupons expire at midnight
November 8. However, 12s in the
present book won't be in effect the
next day, but Abs in the new book
will become valid.
Application forms are available at
most service stations, Mr.. Thompson
pointed out. They should be filled
out and sent to the proper local
board, along with the back cover of
the present book.
No new book will be issued unless
this back cover is surrendered, the
official stressed New books will be
mailed to motorists and none will
be issued at the boards offices.
