THE
GASOLINE SITUATION
The Necessity of Conservation
How would YOU
like a raise,
like this?
There exists today on the Pacific Coast an acute shortage of
gasoline. As this Company has pointed out on several occasions,
the condition is due to insufficient production of crude oil and a
greatly increased consumption o f gasoline hy industry and by
owners o f pleasure cars.
Gasoline is a vital factor in the life o f the community, industrially
and otherwise, and it is o f the greatest importance, at this juncture,
that it he used with the utmost discretion, that essential require
ments may he supplied.
-and for
3 4 'Years W ork.
T
The present is by no means the season o f maximum demand,
which comes later in the year. The condition, therefore, is likely
to be continuing, rather than transitory.
But he b paid on the average just 52 cents
more p e r church m em ber than he w as paid 34
years ago.
Responsibility for meeting the situation does not rest solely upon
the oil industry. The public also has a serious duty in the matter.
HAT is the kind o f increase in salary
the minister has received.
His living
expenses have risen just as fast and as far
as yours.
T h e M in is te r N ev er F a ils Y oa
On its part, the Standard Oil Pom pan y is straining its resources
and organization to increase the supply o f gasoline. In the field
it is working for the maximum production of crude oil. In the
refinery it is working for the maximum production of gasoline from
the crude oil and it is spending large sums of money on equipment
for new processes, o f its own discovery and development, whereby
a still greater yield of gasoline will he obtained.
Every officer of the Government with n w ar
message to deliver appealed to the ministers first
of all.
But 809^ of the ministers receive less income
than government economists figure as «m inim um
for the support of fin average family.
W h e n hospitals need money they enlist the
support o f the ministers and receive it.
But when sickness visits the minister or the
members of his family they must be treated in a
charity ward. His pay is less than a day laborer’s.
The point already has been reached where gasoline must be con
served most carefully. That is a duty o f the public. In consump
tion o f this product, essential industries must necessarily come first
— pleasure utilization thereafter.
8 out of every 10 ministers receive less than
$20 a week about half the pay of a mechanic.
W e Pay Him H a lf the Wages o f a M e c h a n ic
A n d at three pitifully Inadequate salaries h ow much do
y o u contribute? Nothing If you are outside the cnurch;
Already the company has taken steps toward protecting the
supply for the vital needs o f industry which, if lessened, would
affect the business life o f the community. There is now the danger
of a curtailment of supply to non-essentials such as pleasure cars.
an average of less than 3c a day if you are a church
member.
A ll of ua share In the benefits o f Christian ministers to
the community. T h e y m arry u s ; b u ry u » ' baptize our
children; visit u s when w e are sick. In their hands is the
spiritual training o f the youth.

The assistance o f the public, therefore, is imperative. Until
lately, gasoline has been abundant, and its lavish and extravagant
use has been possible. That time is past.
We A re A ll P rofiteers a t Their Expense
P art at the Interchurch W o r ld {«rngram is this a living
w age for every minister o f Jesus C h rist; an sflicient plant,
and a 'chance to do a big man’s fob.
I f you want better preachers, help to pay the preachers
better. It’s the best investment for your community
and
for your children that you can ever make»
,
Buy as little gasoline as possible.
Use what you must— waste none.
