Few gasoline slackers" were noted
in Richmond Sunday. Those few per-
sons who took out their cars bore the
haunted, aboutto-be arrested look of
the person who knows he is doing
something that he is being criticized
for doing. The majority of those per-
sons who ride about in cars on Sunday
either stayed at home or walked.
Two cars were egged on Main street
Sunday morning. Other people in
cars, tourists passing through the city
for the most part, were called slackers
by the children on the sidewalks.
There seemed to be some uncertain
ty as to what constituted pleasure rid
ing. A woman who called up Mayor
Zimmerman Sunday morning told him
that she wanted to go to church, and
asked il it would be proper for her to
go in her car.
"Walkings good" the mayor infor.
med her.
But we live in the country" she
told him.

you are a conscientious woman you
can pray at home just as well as in
church, and save gasoline for the gov

The absence of automobiles on Main
street during the day was striking.
The street was almost deserted. 1t
was estimated that less than half of
the usual number Of cars were on the
street. Many persons who had plan
ned pleasure trips for the day gave UP
