W. O. DAVI9, County gent. Newsom Heads P.I.W.C. Drive In Halifax County Mr. M. C. Newsom of Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina, has been named to head the local drive of the Petroleum Industry War Councils campaign to give the public the faces about the black market and how it is hurting the war effort, it was announced to day by J. Laurens Wright, State Chairman of the Industry’s Com mittee on 'Rationing, which is heading up the drive. The County Chairmen and the various local distributors will serve as local spearheads for the intensive campaign being carried on by the industry to halt the black market operations which are stealing more than 2,500,000 gallons of gasoline daily. In making the announcement of Mr. Newsom’s appointment and that of other members, Mr. Wright said; “Invasion of Fort ress Europe, which came shortly after this campaign was begun, has intensified the need for a vogorous effort against the black market. When our -boys are storm ing the 'beaches, there is no time for any good American to start cheating on the rest of us who are hacking the attack.” Mr. Newsom in accepting the appointment said: “We are proud to have been selected by fellow members of our industry to head up locally this vital job of educa tion about the gasoline black market. Gasoline is one of the principal efforts of our war. A recent authoritative statement re vealed that to carry the 10,000 tons of bombs dropped the first dayr to smash the coastal batter ies in Normandy took more flhan 3,300,000 gallons of gasoline. Ev ery gallon of high octane gasoline consumed by our air men in cov ering landing and fighting oper ations in France takes twice as much crude stock as does a single gallon of automotive gasoline There is no mysterious source of gasoline open to black market op erators. They are stealing from the rest of us. Gasoline is power ing the attack. “Wo can’t waste a drop.” An intensive campaign of edu cation is being planned by the lo cal committee Simultaneously with the local |nd national campaign a cooperative advertising cam paign paid for by oil companies supplying virtually all of the gas oline sold on the Atlantic Coast is appearing to help put the facts before the public.
