G \S STATION MEN
SUPPOSED TO BE CAUTIOUS
j When the service station attendant
] asks to see a motorist’s ration book,
| and checks the windshield sticker and
license plate, before he lays a hand on
the pump, he is neither forsaking his
usual courtesy nor unduly delaying a
sale; he is merely doitijr his job ir.
carrying out the provisions of the
rationing regulations, district OPA
officials were advised today.
His duties will be made clear to th
public by a new service station poster
now being distributed by the OPA gas-
oline rationing boards through oil
company channels. The nation's
450,000 gasoline retailers will be ask-
ed to display prominently the red,
white and blue poster which, under
the caption “Official Notice to Gaso-
line Consumers”, reads as follows:
When you purchase gasoline the
service station attendant must
1. Ask for mileage ration book
before delivering gasoline.
2. Be sure the correct ration stick-
and juices.
Gas To Drive To Work
Car owners who drive to work and
highway equipment for a period of
six months instead of three months un-
j er is properly displayed on the vehi-
cle.
3. Be sure the vehicle is the same
| as described in the ration book cover.
4. Deliver no gasoline if ration
hook expiration has passed.
5. Deliver no gasoline unless the
coupons are properly endorsed on the
I back by the purchaser.
7. Detach coupons from the hook.
Accept no loose coupons.
K. Follow all instructions in check-
ing and handling coupons.
Failure by the motorist or the at-
tendant to observe these rules will
constitute a violation of the mileage
rationing regulations, the OPA ad-
vised.
