If it is lost, burned, or stolen, you will be deprived of coupons which will not be replaced. In this regard, the policy of the Oil Controller is as follows: • If, through negligence, you lose your gasoline ration book before October 1, 1943, you may be allowed no more, and perhaps less, than half the coupons to which you would be entitled if you were making an original application. . If, through negligence, you lose your ration book on or after October 1, 1943, you may be allowed no more, and perhaps less, than 25 per cent of the coupons to which you would be entitled: if you were making an original application. The new gasoline rationing system, effective on April 1, will be strictly enforced. Under its previsions, the motorist, as well as the service station attendant, is held responsible if any infrac- tions occur. It is contrary to the orders of the Oil Controller: 0 To purchase gasoline with 1942-1943 coupons. 0 0 To purchase gasoline unless you have the correct category sticker affixed to your windshield. To detach coupons from your own book. (The removal of the coupons is the duty of the attendant.) O . To have in your possession a gasoline ration coupon not attached to, and forming a part of, a gasoline ration book. To have in your possession a gasoline ration book other than the book 0 issued in respect of a vehicle you own, or in respect of a vehicle driven by you with the full consent of the real owner. 0 To alter, deface, obliterate, or mutilate any gasoline ration book or coupon. If you sell your motor vehicle, remember that before making delivery you must remove the windshield sticker or stickers.
