4 Heppner Gazette Times, March 8, 1945 EDITORIAL . . Needless Gas Usage Inquiry at the meeting held in the Elks hall Wednesday evening brought out the fact that too much gas is used in obtaining gas. That sounds a little thick but putting it the way one man said it "why is it necessary for me to burn one gallon of gas in trying to get five gallons?", meaning' of course, that each time he wanted additional gas he had to make a trip to the local board from wherever he was working. There is another case in mind. A party wishing to go to Portland made application for extra gas.' Before the application could be filed it was ne cessary for that person to make a trip home to get some data: If properly informed the party had to return home a second time, but that may not have been the board's fault. Nevertheless, the applicant was burning gas that was greatly needed in the every-day use of the family car and certainly not saving the precious fluid in the manner expected by the OPA. If the same rule is in practice throughout the nation it is little wonder that the OPA is having, difficulty counteracting the black market. The man in question boldly stated to the OPA auth orities that he had to "borrow" a gallon of gas to get to town last night and that he probably would MONTH'S ACTIVITIES OF MORROW COUNTY COMMTTEE Activities during February of the Morrow county Camp and Hospital PROFESSIONAL DIRECTORY have to bootleg another gallon to get back home.
