MOTORIST -
S TAT�L WARNING.'
After all the requests arid pleadings
by the Fuel Controller and newspap-
ers
an nen*span
ers 'for motorists to conserve gaso-
line, and at least refrain, from running
b
cars for pieasnure on. Sundays, it is
a most ,deplorable thing that there
were many casts an the go last Sunt;
clay ebgt from all outward appearance
were used tfor pleasure'. 'We noticed
no less thant four cars pass ' our home
on Sunday' last inside of tettminutes
and we veuitu.re to 'say that not onle.
out of the ,four were using their cars
for anything but pleasure. 'Thisrkiind l
r?1,, thin; displays .a very poor spirit
of loyalty, and; it just means that ifs
geonle persist in disregarding tha
request of the Fuel 'Coararoillier that
a law wills. be passed' prohibiting the
use :of autos altogether on Sunday,
The guilty ones shoiulld b.e 'deeply
ashamed of themselves. Thin, kind of
thing would Inch' be tolerated for a
moment in the Ulnurted Staten} We
have noticed several accounts of
motorists having ,di®arded - the re-
quest of the Fuel Cointr+,olier• over
there and they- were, stoned and call-,
ed.. "slackers," and vn .one 'case the'
car was •totally-ldesrtroyed. Surely -we
can be loyal in this reSaieett The
Allies: 'need gasolj tie' and none should
be wasted„ to serve_a. selfish' pleasure.
IIe who use's it for this purpose stints
those who are fighting our battles:
Constable Bissett of town eras been
instructed to take; the numbers of all
cars coming under( his notice' on Sun-
days,
LEAVE IS EXTENDED.
Instructions were issued by tele-
-graph from military headnuarters to
a'_1 military districts on -the .14th inst.
ta.., extending harvest leave until October
31st to all -nen in categories A, B, C.
who were actually working on farms
and required' for the "purpose of sav-
ing the crops. subject to _immediate
recall should necessity arise.
Patches in war' time are 'often art'
evideiiac of patriotism.'
