RE PETROL SCARCITY.
I have noticed various comments or warnings anent this precious liquid, but might I ask those in authority why permit people to chase round in motor cars paying- "calk," shopping and such like unnecessary jaunts? Also, why do we see many workmen and workwomen driving to and from work, and we all know that these same people, or most of them, at any rate, could well patronise trams, taxis and buses? Apart from the waste of petrol, there is also the wear and tear on roads. If economy were put into effect in above cases then maybe eome of thoee, such as farmers, carriers or others depending legitimately on petrol, could get a little more. PETROL.
