Show New Policy Announced On Granting Gas To Servicemen At Home A new policy in granting gasoline to members of the armed forces on leave or furlough will have a good affect on morale, stated E. Eric Snow, chairman of the St. George war price and rationing board. "Beginning July 25, a serviceman service-man or woman on leave for a period of three days or more will be entitled to one gallon of gasoline gaso-line for each day of his leave," the chairman said. "The new rule replaces one granting a flat five gallons regardless of length of the leave or furlough". Furlough rations will now range between a minimum of three gallons gal-lons for a three-day leave to a maximum of 30 gallons for 30 days. At the suggestion of the Army and Navy, no ration will be granted for passes (to Army personnel) or liberties (to Navy personnel) or for leave or furloughs fur-loughs of less than three days. To receive his ration, the serviceman serv-iceman or woman should apply to the war price and ration board having jurisdiction over the automobile auto-mobile he expects to drive, and present his papers. The ration will be issued in the form of coupons or gasoline purchase permits, per-mits, or a combination of the two. |
