Fewer Coupons For Same Amount Of Gasoline
The B and C mileage ration coupons issued after December 1 will be worth 5 gallons each, but will not increase gasoline supply. The move reduces coupon handling and saving time for motorists and gas station staff. B and C coupons will be replaced by B-2 and C-2. Existing B and G ood coupons retain their two gallon value. Funeral directors will help collect ration books of deceased persons by sending preaddressed envelopes. the death notification triggers reporting to the local ration board. Mrs. Postma visits Graettinger after arriving from Ackley.
