State Administrator Issues Statement
To County Administrators.
To County Fuel Admini.tIrtor:

To County Fucl Administrator:
Many and effective were the meth
ods adopted last Sunday by patriotic
citizens for shame OF those who ig-
nored the request OF the L. S. Fuel
Administration tAat pleasure driving
Of automobile be discontinued on
Sunday
The Fuel Administrat. was con
tent with making k,owa The necessity
for gasoline saving AID made n. effort
at enforcement Of the Administration S
request. Public op.ol proved all po-
tent in seeing that the request wns
generally hccd,d.
In several cities the boys made life
miserable for motorists who failed ia
their duty. Epitheis @ore hurled at
thee drivers. In s,re instances
where automobiles ignored the re-
quest and displayed flags on their
machines, these emblems were remov-
ed with contention that any one who
so failed in his patriotic duty had no
right to display the flag.
The women in many cities constitut-
cd themselves an efficient factor in
seeing that the request was complied
with. Sunday motorists were stared
at and the women made plain in other
ways their unfavorable opinion of
those VINO declined TO obey the request
Of the Fuel Administration.
In many places the police took a
hand BY requiring all motorists TO cx-
plain their purpose in using their ears
on Sunday. The. newspapers led pub
lie opinion by the manner with which
without exception, they criticized those
who used their cars. Some pape-s
even printed a list of those who ig-
nored the request, 20 that the neigh
bors Of the violators might know and
through their scorn act as power
ful influence against the violation be-
ing repeated next Sunday.
Thousands Of letters have come to
the Fuel Administration pledging in
dividual support in fulfillment OF the
request.
