Local Ration Board Urges Less Gasoline Use in War Effort

Fort Worth district issued the most gasoline relative to its allotment in November. Community appeals urge farmers, construction workers, and others to reduce demand to conserve a scarce war commodity. Local social notes mention visits and job changes.
