E FUEL IS RATIONING BUREAU "Unlers everyone, home-owners as well as industrial users, lays in a supply of fuel now, there will be times next winter when It will be unobtainable." This wa3 the warning issued this mornina bv C B. Maxfield, OPA district fuel rationing specialist from Portland, in Medford to confer with local board mem bers and fuel panel members. Maxfield said that the serious ness of the fuel shartage jcould not be over-emphasized and he strongly urged everyone using fuel of any type to lay in as large a supply now as his storage capacity warranted. This applies not only to fuel oil, but to coal, wood, sawdust and other solid fuels, the specialist declared. Mail Oil Coupons The local ration board Is now mailing out fuel oil coupons for the first period and as soon as they are received, consumers should order 'heir oil, he urged. Only by utilizing every bit of storage capacity, both in homes, business plares and Industrial plants, as well as the wholesale and retail storage facilities, will the northwest be able to manage the situation this coming win ter, Maxfield declared. He point ed out that transDortation facil ities, both nationally and locally, are rapidly reaching the satura tion point and that the course of the war this fall and winter might throw an even greater burden on the far western facil ities. Local transportation faces a drastic sho-tage of tires, also, Maxfield said. Discussing sawdust, Maxfield said that the popular notion that It lost heat-value by standing was erroneous and that experts declared sawdust from spring and summer cutting is superior to that from fall and winter cut ting. , Maxfield was accompanied toj Medford by Daniel M. Rohrer, also a fuel ration specialist, and slaughter wes stesdy. but supply ex-1 the closing of schools for vaca- the two men are going to Ash- IN EFFECT JULY 10 A reminder of the fact that ceiling prices will go into ef fect on used cars July 10 was is sued today by the price clerk of the local rationing board.
