Old Style Ration Coupons Set to Expire August End
The Office of Price Administration announced old type B and C ration coupons become invalid after August 31. Citizens should exchange old coupons at local boards before the deadline, with boards overwhelmed by fuel oil requests. Bowles said gas rationing relief and furlough gasoline would not arrive until September, and some allowances may rise if hardship is shown. Dealers must report old coupons on hand August 31, and distributors have until September 11 to deposit accepted stamps.
