Is Imperative That
Black Market Gas
Be Eliminated AT Once

"A restriction Of tetra-cthyl lead in
civilian gasoline makes it even more
Imperative that the black market in
gasoline coupons be stamped out"
A. Clarke Bedford, chairman. Petro-
leum Industry Committee ON Ration
ing for District One, comprising the
Atlantic Seaboard States, said today,
pointing out the significance of Pc
troleum Administrator Ickes' order
cutting premium gasoline about so
percent during forthcoming months.
Bedford pointed out that this is a
significant indication of the trcmcnd-
Gus demands of the armed forces for
gasoline vital war product Pre-
MUM grade gasoline is required by
tanks and other mobile equipment
used by the Army. The American
motorist is undoubtedly more than
willing to make this additional war
time sacrifice by switching to regular
grade and releasing equivalent sup
plies of tetra-cthyl lead TO the armed
forces"
He also said at is imperative for
the motorist to do even more - and
that is, to confnc his driving to the
coupons issued him by the ration
board and thereby kill the black mar
ket operations in gasoline coupons
which are actually diverting to the
chiselers gasoline needed for neces-
sary war workers."
He urged motorists to follow the
Petroleum Industly's four point anti
black market program. The points
direct car owners to:
L. Apply only for rations needed
for essential driving;
2. Write license number and State
on the face of each ration coupon;
3. Refuse gasoline without sur
rendering coupons;
1. Refuse to buy or accept gasoline
coupons from others,

A Record and Statement of a
YEARS GROWTH AND PROGRESS

Just one year ago, this same page carried IAN Important
Announcement to the People of Valley County" 1t told of the
retirement of John NJ. Lewis and Robert NJ. Lewis as managing
officers and directors of THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF
GLASGOW and stated the personnel and policies of the new
management.
A statement from the retiring officers reflected a iustifiabIe
pride in the growth and stability of this pioneer banking institution
of northern Montana. Now, on the first anniversary of the new
management, we are proud to report a continuance of growth
reflected in the figures on deposits printed at the top of this page.
Reviewing the banks history, we stated then:
Through more than half a century, from the time t was the
only bank in a frontier area of 100000 square miles, it has witnessed
great changes and developments. Through good years and bad
years, panics, wars, drouths and depressions, it has served it's pa
irons faithfully. Its first consideration always has been, and will
continue to be, the safety of its customers funds"
We are happy to have this opportunity to report to the peo-
