Friday, Aufluot 8, 1?41 THE MCCORKLE ADMINISTRATION At some (line durfug the 208 years existence of the city of Camden. Its progress may have been bo bIow that It could have been likened to the vll* luge in "Sleepy Hollow". Not bo during tbe present administration. Commonts reaching uh from folk far and near picture Camden In It's moBt progressive era. Mistakes have boon made In the McCorkle administration. Honest mistakes, ltut the mistake of doing nothing w'lH n?t made. This newspapor has observed with keen Interest the tremendous effort that has been made to make Camden a clean, progressive and up to date City. The kind of city In which good people want to .Mvo. Camden now Is such a city. Much credit for It's business progress. It's newly paved streets. It's now enterprise* and It's added charm and beauty is due to the untiring efforts of it's Mayor and City Councllmen. May Camden's progress continue. May the present Mayor and City Council continue In office. To make a change would be a colossal mistake. 8LOW DOWN FOR UNCLE SAM Now that Mr. Ickes has found that gasoline must bo conserved In the Enst because of a shortage of transportation facilities, we're learning a lot about gasoline consumption which many of us haven't known before. We've always realized that It took more gasolene per mile tu go 70 miles an hour than to go 40 miles an] hour, but with a big taukful of gasoline In the enr we're apt to think much about It. If were In a hurty and If the road Is one of those big highways that Invites speed, we haven't worried much about using a few extra ounces of gasoline. Rut when we are told that we use r>6 per cent more gasoline per mile when driving 70 miles an hour than when going 40 miles an hour, that's something worth thinking about. That means for each dollar wo spend for gasoline, wore paying 50 cents addltonal for the pleasure of speeding?and to a lot of us It lsn t worth that. It Is quite possible that speod laws will bo more Btrlctly enforced than over before In the Last in order to cut down our consumption of gasoline, it is also probable that we will he taught to consider speeding unpatriotic. Rut whatever means are used to educate us to slow down and save gasoline, most of us wont object too vehemently when we realize ihal it also means a substantial saving to our pofk.'tbooks. It l? estimat'd that private pas senger curs In this country travel about r?0<) billion miles a year and consume over 30 billion gallons of gasoline. JOven a 10 per cent cut in consumption, duo to loss speed, would mean a saving of 3 billion gallons? which Is moro than enough saving to take care of the problem which is now one of Mr. Ickes major worrlos. j Gasoline prices are apt to increase. Now taxes on gasoline may cause an additional boost In the price. But wo can offset those Increases, so far as our own expenditure for gasoline Is concerned, If we go slower as prices go higher. The chief objection to speed always has been from the danger viewpoint. Speed Is the leading cause of accidents. This new Incentive to stop speeding may, in addition to aiding the gasoline problem, also result In the saving of many lives.?ChesterHeld Advertiser.
