DESPITE WHAT President Nixon has advised about driving Meeting to spotlit00'00=
S0 miles an hour to preserve gasoline, the Department of Public
Safety has advised that it is dangerous for motorists to drive the the
S0 mph speed unless it becomes law. Obviously, if some cars are area agriculture tret00,s
going 50 mph and others are going 70 mph, the chance of
accident is high. I'm surprised Nixon didn't think of that.
Anyway, you might be cautious at driving 50, because you
might get creamed from behind. If there's any merit in the ,50
mph stuff, then laws will probably be passed so that all drivers
will drive the same speed.
Of course, it is estimated that it would cost $13 billion to
change all the highway speed signs in the United States, and if
that's done, we'll have a shortage of money instead of gasoline.

A SMALL TOWN BANK gained the title to a filling station via
a foreclosure. To demonstrate his concern that the newly
acquired enterprise was being run efficiently, the bank president
sent one of his loan officers to the gas station to check the
operation.
The loan officer decided to get the feel of the business by
helping out at the pumps, and when his first customer said, "Fill
'er up," the banker started to spring into action, but then asked
the customer:
"How far are you going?"
"Just down the state line," the customer replied.
"Then you won't need a full tank," the banker cautioned. 'TI1
let you have five gallons."
