MI& 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; THE DEPARTMENT OF MUNITIONS AND SUPPLY HONOURABLE C. D. HOWE, Minister MS -5-O
