State OPA Director Anthony F. Ar
paia said today that an intensified
campaign would be made over the
week end to enforce the ban on
pleasure driving and appealed to
car owners to give the drive their
"whoIe- hearted support" so that the
restriction may be removed as soon
as possible.
Ten additional inspectors have
been assigned to check motorists,
said Arpaia, who added that 1--WE
will hew to our rigid policy Of not
Fostering anyone who is not OBJ
viously a pleasure driver"
"a more intensified enforcement
Of the pleasure driving ban has be-
come imperative at this time" Ar
paia said. "The petroleum admin
istration for war says we must build
up fuel oil and gasoline stocks In
the east If we are ever to get rid of
the BAN. According to the PAW we
have not been building up these
stocks during the past few weeks. ("
With the winter season coming
on, Arpaia said the reserves must
be accumulated, but that the job
was being made doubly hard by nom
essential driving.
