Gasoline Rationing Plan Goes into Effect
AT Ill TakV111
ONMARCH 31 the present gasoline
ration licenses and coupons will ex-
pire, and no gasoline will be sold except upon
the presentation of a 1943-1944 ration book.
In his own interests, every vehicle owner is
asked to apply at once for a new gasoline
license and ration coupon book for each of
his vehicles.
Under the new system, effective April 1, all
commercial vehicles will be rationed. All non-
commercial vehicles will be granted a basic
"AA" gasoline license and ration coupon
book, containing 40 coupons for a passenger
car, or 16 for a motorcycle. Owners of non-
commercial vehicles eligible for a special
category, who can prove their need, will
be granted an extra vocational allowance,
fixed in advance for the year ending
March 31,1944.
The extra allowance for a special category
car will be tailored to meet individual needs.
In determining this allowance the pre-
vious category and mileage of the car will
not be considered. Instead the vocational
allowance will be based on two factors:
(1) The gravity of the oil shortage with which
Canada is faced, and (2) the importance of
the vehicle to its owner in a country at war.
The extra vocational coupons will be issued
in books labelled "Special", and each such
book will contain not more than 60 coupons.
Only one "Special" book, or portion of such
book, will be issued at a time, and hence the
case history of each special category applicant
will be under constant review.
Under provisions of the rationing order,
the Oil Controller will have the right to re-
fuse any application for a special category, or
to suspend any ration book for an infraction
of the regulations.
Every motor vehicle, other than a motor-
cycle, must bear on its windshield a sticker`
indicating its category. After April 1, service
station attendants will not be permitted to
serve gasoline to a car which does not bear
the sticker which corresponds to the ration
book submitted at the time of the purchase.
To obtain a gasoline license and ration
coupon book, secure an application form at
your nearest Post Office. Study the form and
follow the instructions contained therein.
When you receive your ration coupon book,
guard it carefully. It may not be replaced if,
because of your negligence, it is lost .or
stolen. Do not leave it in your car; keep it
on your person at all times;
