FUEL O IL S U P P L Y “TO UCH AND visiting his sister, who is ill in Callaway, Nebraska. Harold Snyder GO” Sunset Harold L. Ickes, Petroleum Adm inistrator for War, cautions home heating oil users that stocks are below last year’s level and that consumers should avoid exessive consumption that will deplete st ocks too rapidly. “For the remain der of the heating season; meeting home-heating oil demands will be 'trictly touch-and-go. Fuel oil sup- p.les are tight but adequate to meet current rationed demands,” Administrator Ickes said. “ However, there is not as much fuel oil avail able this year as there was 12 mon ths ago. That means that over consumption will make the pro blem more critical.
