Mulcahy, OlPA director - for the Chicago metropolitan area asserted last week that gasoline hoardj ing was lost labor because the hoard- ! er is required by OPA regulations to i I deduct any hoarded gasoline which he uses from his gasoline ration by canceling the proper number of coupons. For the guidance of motorists using gasoline coupon books for the first time, Mulcahy offered the following i tips: j This book contains four pages of ' eight coupons each. Each coupon is worth four gallons at present and j | each page is good for only two ! ; months. The first page of. eight ; coupons, marked No. 3 to coincide • I with the third rationing period in, ithe Eastern states, expires Jan. 21, two months from Nov. 22, when gasoline rationing was originally scheduled to start. The coupons may be, used singly or all at once; Thus, i the motorist can buy 32 gallons between now and Jan. 21, after, which he uses the other pages for succeedi ing',; two month period. Mulcahy < urged motorists to endorse theijf) ratiohi books and write their license! number on the back of each coupon • to safeguard against loss or theft. j !. This book contains 16 coupons, each valued currently at four gallons. Unlike the "A" book in which coupons expire automatically after two months, the "B" book is given an expiration date adjusted to provide only enough supplemental gasoline to cov? er the mileage for which the motorist has qualified. The expiration date may vary from three to twelve months from the issuance date, depending on the individual ration. This book contains eigh£g pages of eight coupons each and hps a life of three months. Each coupon is valued currently at four gallons. However, coupons are removed from the "C" book before it is issued to a motorist if he does not qualify for the maximum allowed. The "C" book is thus "tailored" to cover the mileage requirements demonstrated by the indi- The "Cu bo^k is restricted to a preferred list of 20 occupational classifications, including doctors, vis-ting nurses, certain war [workers, and others who are requr d j to travel by automobile to fulil!

ANOTHER GOLD STAR » « 4PDEt TO COUHTf TLAG DURING WEEK ^ _ Another gold star has been added to the McHenry county service flag. Word was received last week by Fred Roberts of near Alden, that his son, La Verne F. Roberts, who would hare been 23 years old last Sunday, was killed in action on Nov. 10, somewhere at sea. It was thought that the casualty occurred in the Atlantic during the landing of troops for the African drive. The sad message was received on Wednesday night, Dec. 2, by his fath- J er, who is employed on the Rulo Clark j farm between Hebron and Alden. ' A few years ago La Verne and Fred | Grabbert of Hebron made the front page when theJT rescued Lester Eld- ' inger, the little son of Sheriff an?! Mrs. Lester Edinger from almost cer- | tain death on the depot crossing in i Woodstock. The boy was chasing his ! dog across the track as a fast train i approached the crossing. Grabbert and Roberts were in k truck near there and between them they man- ; aged to snatch the boy from the path ef the train. ' !».
