PETROL PIRATES
Sir, —While I am in agreement with you to a certain extent in your criticism of those who use their cars for travelling long distances to dances, I think that you are unduly disturbed. I am one who likes a dance- or two and from my own knowledge of the position I would say that a person travelling 80 miles to a dance these days was an absolute exception—if not an imagination. Those of us; whoi do slip along to a 'hop'' now and then, have to stint ourselves pretty hard fo.r other things in order to be able to do it. I think that this is the general rule. You will not find, Mr, Editor too many who are deliberately wasting benzine on dances these days. Yours etc., - INNOCENT FUN 1 .
