Why A "Gasless Sunday !?

THEY have gasoneless Sundays in the east and It
is said that they viii be here FL PasOans have
been warned to be ready for It
Why gasolneless SUNDAYS? Why not put the gaso-
line regulations upon the basis sugar and flour?
Why tell a WHEN he may use gas? Why not tell
him he have much gas and LET HIM USE IT
WHEN HE WISHES? If It is necessary to conserve the
gasoline supply Americans viii willingly join in the
servation IF it is necessary tell the who has been
using 20 gallons gasoline week that he may only have
p or even 10, then do So but WHY tell him WHEN he
may use It?
In this southwestern country The Herald Will venture
the assertion that 90 percent Of the families owning auto
mobiles get most GOOD out of their cars on Sundays On
Sunday the whole family usually makes use of the car
for Sunday school, for church attendance for pnics and
recreation That is the day of the week that the
IS NEEDED.
The average family would be willing to foregO the use
Of the ANY day IN the week-any TWO DAYS in the
week. in order to have 1t for Sunday, when ALL
THE FAMILY enjoy 1t and get physical benefit from
Too work and recreation is bad for people any
where any time. With the Of automobiles restricted
to the week days very few families would get the REAL
benefits from their that they should get The work
ing members Of the family cannot get recreation during the
week; Sunday is their only time.
Some minded ministers have attacked the auto
mobile the great enemy of religion, asserting that the
Sunday excursion in the is keeping people away from
church For the few who may stay away from church be
of the possession Of automobile there
attend for the same reason-because it is easy to get
to church IN Stop the automobiles Sunday and
watch the falling off in church attendance.
recreatona ride by the whole family in the after
church IS not sin, and there is hardly family in FL
Paso owning automobile that does such rice
every Sunday. The contemplated "gasolneess Sunday
would prevent this; it would be serious blow to the
health and peace Of mind of many people
Let US have regulation Of the Of gasoline by all
means, # that IS necessary, and everybody will cheeruly
accept the situation but let the people their allotment
