Motorists Asked to Desist From Black Market Gas Sources A renewed appeal for North Caro lina motorists not to buy olack market gasoline has been issued by L. \V. Driscoll. district director of OPA at Charlotte, who declared: "There is no magic source of sap ply for black market gasoline. It simply is drained fron . the honest people's share." Mr. Driscoll said that the chief reason for the present gasoline shortage is that the United States has about reached the maxjigmui production of crude oil from known reserves and that more and more petroieurr products are being used ; to supply the armed forces. "If the black market i;; allowed j to continue draining more and i ?nw gasoline from the civilian supply Kir the benefit of a few 1 chwlers." lie said, ill honest ear owners are going to hav to pay for it. Certainly then can be no cut j ting on military supplies" Mr. Driscoll outlined four things | that "decent Americans" can do to ; help wipe out the black market in | gas. They are: ] I Don't buy gasoline coupons or j accept as a gift coupons not issued | directly to you. 2. Don't buy gasoline without i giving up coupons. :t. Don't apply for more gasolin - than you know you'll actually need. 4. Endorse your coupons in ad vance, so that ii they are tost or stolen, you will prevent others from using thc in. On behalf of filling station opera tors, Mr. Driscoll added: "The aver age gasoline dealer is honest. He doesn't want the business he is in to be turned into u racket."
