Consumers Must Hold Stub Of Tickets To Be Eligible Next Winter

Oil rationed householders in the community were warned Monday night by officials of the New Hanover War Price and Rationing Board to 'hold tight to the identity stub of their heating ration, as it will be required when next winter's rations are issued.'

The OPA information on the matter is contained in the following paragraphs:

This stub is the remaining part of the coupon sheet after all the individual coupons have been removed. It contains the code number of the individual's ration, the date of issuance and expiration, the amount of the ration, and similar information. Local boards will require the consumer to present the stub when the 1943-44 rations are distributed.

'The present plan is to issue the new rations during the early part of the summer in order to enable the fuel oil industry to follow its procedure of filling customers' tanks during the warm weather.'
