Word of Caution _ >
To Fuel Users Is
Given By Govt
War With Japan Will Make
Rettrictions Continue To
Be Acute
Users of coal might Just as well
accept the idea that the defeat of
Germany la not going to end the fuel
shortage. Demands attending the
war with Japan will cause fuel re
quirements to remain high. Manpower
is expected to continue short for pro
ducing and delivering fuel.
The government urges you to give
yonr fuel dealer your coal order and
signed consumer declaratloD now.
Don’t wait until be is unable to serve
you adequately.
Accept whatever unable fuel yonr
dealer recommends. The war may
make it impossible for him to pro
vide you with your favorite kind of
sise and also jronr customary quan
tity.
Store your coal whenever your
dealer can deliver It. Remember, he
has fewer men and less equipment
for serving yonr needs and you may
have difficulty in getting coal dellv-
ered next' fall and winter.
The government urges you to con
serve fuel next winter. Make youy
home or building heat-tight by insula
tion, storm doors and windows.
Have your heating plant checked
over thia summer so that it will be
In efficient condition when It comes
time to fire up In the fall. If ou can,
install a h^ct control.

Cars Must Have
Use Tax Sticker
.M
W. P, Bowers, collector of internal
revenue, has announced that the new
$5 automobile Use Tax Stamps now
on sale in all post offices and offices
of collectors of internal revenue, must
be displayed on all vehicles begin
ning July 1. 1946.
The law provides both cash and
Jail penalties for fallore to pay this
tax. To protect themselves against
unnecessary penalties. Collector Bow
ers advised owners of motor vehiclea
not to be misled by false rumMU al
leging that this tax has been re
pealed.
The stamps will be sold over the
counter at all post offloss and offices
of internal revenue collectors. In ad
dition, mall orders whra accompanied
by cash, money orders or certified
checks, will bs filled if addressed to
the Internal Revenue office at Cdam-
hla, CharteetipiL or OreeurBle. Psrsoii-
al checks cannot be accepted fbr the
purchase of revenue stamps.
Tile law requires that the stamp be
prominently displayed on the motor
vehicle on and after July 1. 1946.
Where possible, the stamp should be
placed on the windshield as recom
mended by the proper officials of
each State.
Motorists will find that the stamps
usually will stick better If they dam
pen the windshield instead of the
stamp. They should avoid repeated
dampening of the stamp. Motorists
who desire to do so may reinforce
the stamp wHh adhesive tape or sim
ilar aids.
To protect themselves against loss
or theft, OoBeetor Bower a advised
motoiiata to keep a eeperate record of
the aerial numbw* which appears on
each stamp. Motorists also are asked
to write on the hack of the stamp the
made, model, serial number and
8tate license number of the vehicle.
