Scope and content
After being delayed twice, registration for gasoline rationing became a reality on November 17, 1942. It was held for three consecutive days at Tacoma's Junior and Senior high schools from 2:30- 9:00p.m. Ration book applicants were pictured filling out the requisite forms at tables. Those registering in this first time period received "A" ration books, entitling them to four gallons a week.
