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-

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. All
used cars, whether sold by deal
ers or individuals, will go under
ceiling prices on that date.
It was pointed out that the
price clerk, or used car dealers,
will have the legal ceiling price
for any car to be sold. Informa
tion needed to determine the ceil
ing price include the make,
model, year, body-type and ac
cessories such as radio, heaters

today, replacing early losses
with moderate gains in most in

such as oils and soft drinks drew
buying into other sections. Im
proved sentiment reflected the

nouncement of the second raid
on Japan by B-29 Super-Fortresses

and included disclosure of rec
