W Dris coll, ORA district manager here, said today the gasoline and fuel oil situation in the Carolinas was critical. Not a single tank car of gasi line now is being shipped into either state, he reported. Some sections of North Caro lina, which depend on kerosene for cooking, he added, are en tirely out of supplies. What gasoline being received is from the Plantation Pipe Line, it was explained by Petroleum products dealers here. ‘‘You can’t get around it, it is a definite fact that our gaso line supply is not being replen ished,” said Driscoll. “We have an adequate supply for the immediate present— what gasoline we have, we have, but evidently we are not going to get much more any time soon. “This fuel oil problem must be met first as far as possible. Right here in Charlotte as well as elsewhere everybody must realize the extreme importance of conserving gasoline.” W. O. W. To Hold Regular Meeting TTie W. O. W. will hold its regular weekly meeting on Tues day night, February 9th, at 7:30 o’clock. Refreshments will be served. A guest speaker is ex pected for the meeting. All mem bars are urged to attend.
