weary miles and the time saved in brief
furloughs. The country seems to have
been knit closer together and men have
found in doing kindly acts a finer spirit
In these days.
Consequently, it is inevitable that an
extension OF the idea should be sug-
gested. Extend the courtesy of that
vacant seat to civilians" Is now the
thought. And by so doing not only
perform courteous and kindly acts, but
make the gasoline you use go further

We must conserve every natural re-
source we possess. The government re-
quests the conservation Of every drop
of gasoline as well as every pound Of
coal. Make your gasoline save coal and
time and working hours for the nation.
The gratitude OF the recipient OF your
thoueftfulness. as has been said. is
merely added measure.
