PULSE OF
THE PU BLIC
OPERATOR OPPOSES
LIMITED OPERATION

Editor The Times: AS a gas
station operator and owner ! am
for Mr.. Woods proposal Of to
business hours. That Ia IL II
would work, If 1t were not for
the selfish motive Incorporated
within IL, and II the thing was
constitutional.
Let's figure out what would
happen on week-ends and holi-
day evenings when the highway
service station does most of its
business. With the knowledge
that the highway service station
will be closed, the motorist will
simply buy his gas in the city
before that time. That will be
fine . for Mr.. Wood and his
backing cohort of big business
operators. But as for the small
fry compelled to put in 16 hours
a day to make both ends meet
=. that little highway fellow
who is so handed at keeping the
people from getting lost in spite
of all the signs; the same who is
so handed at furnishing many
other services such as rest
rooms, telephone, water. etc,
and stays open on Sundays and
holidays mostly To act as Santa
Claus to city buyers as the
cash register shows, the proposal
means ruin. Its only good point
would be that it would make Mr..
Motorist realize and appreciate
these little fellows. If that
could be done.
What little business is done by
highway stations occurs between
8 and 10 a. m. and between 4
and 10 p. m. The question is,
why doesn't Mr.. Wood propose
q system that would permit
these stations to work out Il
hours of their OWN choosing
That would make more sense
and stink less Of coercion. But
that would not do for Mr.. Wood
and his click. For the loss would
be more divided and there
wouldn't be any profit for him
in that.
l don't see why a shortage of
labor in company operated sta
tons should affect anyone but
the actual owners anymore than
q shortage of such labor in any
other business. That's their own
hard luck. There is nothing that
can be done about il. and surely
not reason 10 lquidats all
small businesses in favor Of big
or ones.
What about opening Il hours
at ones own choosing Seems
to me that II would provide for
that emergency" Gas you
