Show Renew 'A' Gas Rationing Books By Mail Alans to renew motorists "A' gasoime coupon books by mail under tne streamlined renewal plan announced 0y uie.UPA, Degmning June 22, have been completed by the Pleasant Grove War Price ana lU.X,oning Board, Klvjn R. Thorne, chairman, announced today. ' He coupled this announcement with a request that car owners file their applications as soon as uossible so that the board may process them and mail out all new books before the present 'A' rations rat-ions expire, July 21. The mail renewal plan, which also includes renewals of the basic "D" cycle rations, eliminates the school-house registration that was necessary when basic rations was issued last autumn. To get his new "A" or "D" books, a car and motorcycle motor-cycle owner needs take only the following simple steps: 1. Pick up an application form at any of the service stations. The forms will be available at these places beginning June 22. 2. Fill out the form and mail it to the War Price and Rationing Board, together with (a) the back cover of the present "A" or "D book prperly filled out and (b) the current tire inspection record showing that proper inspections have been made. "With volunteer help now being enlisted, the board will begin processing pro-cessing the applications as soon as they start cming in," the board chairman said. "New ration books will be mailed as soon as they are ready. Every effort will be made to have new books in the hands of all car and motorcycle owners by July 21, when their present books expire. But this can be assured only if motorists and motorcycle owners cooperate by getting their application forms as soon as possible poss-ible and filling them promptly." The new application forms, like those used last year, will have a tire inspection record attached, it was pointed out. In filling out the form, applicants should make sure that their serial numbers are accurately ac-curately written in. These numbers num-bers rnay be copied from the old tire record, as corrected at time of last inspection unless the applicant has acquied a new tire since then. Tn this case, he should write in the new time number and attach a note explaining this to the board. The back cover of the present ration book is required as part of the application, because it is evidence evi-dence that the owner held a properly prop-erly issued ration and is ontlitiod to a renewal, the chairman explained. explain-ed. Any motorist who has not had at l-"-nst one approved tire inspection inspec-tion bv a oi'nl'fion1 inspector will be denied a renewal. |
