MEMBERSHIP OF A.A.
Effect Of Petrol Ration “I find new members very difficult to sign up because of lack of petrol and the uncertainty of the times, although the majority of motorists are sympathetic with the association. A number of motorists in the country have stated that they will join if the association can equalize the petrol allowances,” stated Mr H. A. McColl, patrol officer of the Automobile Association (Southland), in a report presented to the general committee of the association at its meeting last night. It was reported that 22 new members had been signed on since the last monthly meeting of the committee and Ibis brought favourable comment from several members. Forty-two resigna-, tions were accepted and 16 unfinancial members were struck off the roll.
In reply to a question about what the patrol officer meant by “equalizing the petrol allowances,” Mr H. E. Russell said it probably was based on the fact that farmers received varying petrol allowances to enable them to get into the nearest town.
