 PUTNAM
 The announcement in Wednesdays 1 papers that no more Sunday joy rid l ing will be permitted, that gasoline may be conserved, has caused pro- test that is not mild in this city and it seems to be well founded. If some one can convince me by logical ar gument that it is perfectly proper for the wealthy summer residents of Pom fret, Thompson and Woodstock and the well-to-d do of this and other towns, New England over, to ride about in high powered cars, using an an ay- craze of a gallon of gas for every eight or ten miles travelled, on six days a week, travelling for pleasure and their own amusement, why a working man shouldn't have the right to run ] to listen to what he has to say. But I don't believe there is a logical ar gument to be made on that basis"
 This opinion, expressed by one mo- torist .,is echoed by the vast majority of others, drivers who have only Sat urday afternoons and Sundays for , trips other than short runs after sup per.
 If there is a shortage of gasoline, as there undoubtedly is, most motorists here say, they are willing to be re- stricted in the use of it, but why not conserve it under an equitable method" they ask.
 Why not so many gallons a week | for everybody to use whenever it suits a driver to use. Cutting out the Sunday use of gas is generally re- i garded as rank discrimination against the working man. and a rule to be smiled at by those who well can put their cars up on Sunday after enjoy ing them all the rest of the week.
