Production of pulpwood to manufacture products for vital military and

by 65 percent in Michigan during the
Second six months of 1943 to meet the
War Production Board quota for the
state, the Newspaper Pulpwood Committee of the American Newspaper
Publishers Association announced this
week.
The quota for Michigan, an important producer among the major pulpwood states of the Northeast, South
and Lake .areas, is 607,200 cords for
the year. Production to June 30, as
computed by the WPB was 228,043
cords, which is 7:5,557 cords or 25 per
cent under the quota for the first half
of the year. Unless 37.9,157 cords are
produced before the close of the year,
therefore, Michigan will fall short of
its goal.

OLD STYLE B AND C
GAS COUPONS TO BE
CANCELLED SEPT. 1
Few Coupons to Be Issued to
Make Up for Recent
Reductions
The cancellation of all old-style "B"
and "C" gasoline ration coupons ordered for Sept. 1 is designed to invalidate the thousands of coupons stolen
in various parts of the country as
well as any which may have been produced by counterfeiters, OPA officials
said Monday.
Reduction of the amount of gasoline
used in Michigan will be an entirely
separate operation, conducted as
drivers attempt to get • additional coupons to make up for the cut in coupon
value from four to three gallons.
Such additional coupons will be issued
only on a showing of real need.
Some motorists—those who received
new "B" and "C" books in. the last
week—have the new type coupon, and-
ai-e not affected by the Sept, 1 cancellation. The new coupons are different
in design,
Most of the other supplemental".
books in this area expire on Sept. 1,.
and cancellation will change the status of such motorists in no way. They'
will apply for new "B" or "C" books ■
as usual and will be sent the new;"
style coupon.
Persons holding books which expird"
after Sept. 1 will trade in their-old-
style coupons for the new. .They will
get a new coupon for each old one*
This will be done, starting next Monday, merely by mailing or taking the
old coupons to a ration board, OPA
officials said. ^—.—-Z^lli:1!'-
