Amarillo A ration book renewals lag behind expected takeup
Not more than half of Amarillo motorists have applied for renewal of their A ration book as coupons become valid in 10 days. Of an estimated 15 000 to 16 000, about 8 000 new books have been issued. Applications should be made now because volunteer workers may not be available after next Monday. Drivers will not need tire inspection records after receiving the new A books.
