MAPB IN JA>AN Your Gas Ration Book 1 I is a Gift from Hirohito! l I

As clearly as if the words "/MrfDP IN /AfAN' ‘ were printed on your Gasoline Ration Book, you know that the Japs are responsible for the rationing of your ttn mileage. When the Tokyo toughs seized the Netherlands East Indies and Malaya, our chief sources of supply of raw rubber immediately disappeared. That is why your driving had to be drastically cut down. N«f to save gasoline, which is plentiful in this area; but to save rubber, which is short all over the country. And rubber must be saved ... or we risk losing the war; The plain, patriotic fact is that rationing gasoline is the simple, direct way to accomplish the sincerely avowed purpose of Rubber Administrator Jeffers: “To keep automobile* on the road, not to take them off." Gasoline rationing and the U. S synthetic rubber program are both dedicated to supplying the rubber for the combat needs of our boys from Guadalcanal to Gafsa. a* well as for essential transportation here at home. Phillips is proud that its resources.
