Clarence Smith, chairman of the
Virginia Conservation Commission,
asserted in a statement that gas
less Sundays mentioned as a
method of conserving petroleum
products in the interests of national
defense, are absolutely unneces-

The public he contended, can con-
serve as much gasoline as is needed
without resorting to gasless Sundays,
and 1T should be remembered that
gasless Sundays are predicated on
rationing of gasoline, which is the
compulsory method of limiting its
use"
The commission chairman urged
the motoring public, as we'll as bus
mess and industrial interests, to give
full cooperation in the present vol
untary movement TO conserve petro-
leum products because failure of
voluntary methods might lead to
rationing.
