DANIEL .SCrM

| tion to conserve the nations gasoline Esupply. by ineculating motorists fagainst Sunday joy riding, didn't take" as universally on Sun kday as some might have expected, and yet fully as much as others antici- pated that it would. And 1t took bet ter in the morning than it did in the fafternoon,. at that.
 i One didn't have to strain an eye Sunday morning. nor wait long. to see a dozen cars-pleasure cars-spinning through Danielson. Some of them were driven by Danielson people, etl1- Eers by drivers from nearby towns. They hadn't evidently, been very much impressed by the national fuel administrators request to abstain from Sunday running of their cars, as 9 patriotic move toward the winning of the war That disregard of the ad | rconition to save gas on Sunday was not being needed in other states, no more than in Connecticut, was evil denced by the fact that an observer checked . cars from Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New York, New .Jer- sey and Pennsylvania in Danielson, in lservice, on Sunday.
 Those who did run their cars very Palpahly set bad example for many Ewho did not. This was demonstrated sl III Ill0 dlLSIHOOus WAGH Hlduy II1OIS cars were out than was the case in the morning. If he can drive. can and will" was about the way some decided the situation. and forthwith I went to their garages and got out their cars. The drivers faced no
 trouble in getting gas. There was plenty for sale about town. at regular I filling stations and there was no or
 der against selling it.
 | What happened Sunday was but a
 vindieation of the judgment of many a motorists that the Garfield method of conserving gas is far from the best
 one that can be adopted. Many mo-
 torists here are bitter against the or
 der. considering it as discriminatory 1 against the car owner who cannot
 drive on week days and little less than a, joke to the man who can drive all the week if he. wishes. burning up
 therein a hundred gallens-or two
 hundred if he sees fit to do so.
 If cars were out throughout New England as they were in this vicin- ity Sunday, there must have been
 thousands of them running along the highways. It is not to be taken from
 this, however. that the great major ity of car owners did not refrain from driving Sunday. They did But they were doing aeiot of hard thinking, and lit wasn't particularly pleasing to some Of them. who have relatives or friends
 in the service. to lay up their cars to help win the war, while many aliens, who will do nothing to contribute to- ward the ending of the terrible strug- gle, were out in their cars enjoying the beautiful weather that the day
 brought.
 II It is nov a comparatively safe bet
 that Dr. Garfield will have to guess tagain before his gasoline conservatism programme is placed on an equitable land effective basis.
