MARGARET O'NEIL Clerk of the Court (Pub. Nov. 26, Dec. 4 & 11,1974) Illinois Attorney General William J. Scott So far this fall we haven't heard the threat of a major gasoline shortage. But in case the fear - or the memory - of a low supply is making you consider hoarding a large quantity of gasoline, I want to remind you that it's against the law - as well as dangerous. The Illinois Department of Law Enforcement says that for personal or private use no more than "five gallons of crude petroleum, benzine, benzol, gasoline, naphtha and their compounds may be kept on hand," and then only if "stored in an approved safety con­ tainer, remote from flame or open fire. Such storage," the Department regulation con­ tinues, "must not be in any cellar, basement or pii and should be in a room with direct ventilation to the outside, and preferably in an outbuilding or garage." So if you store more than five gallons of gasoline or similar fuel for personal or private use. . . or if you store any amount of gasoline in an unapproved container in an unsafe place . . . you're breaking Illinois law. You are guilty of a misdemeanor and, if convicted, you could be fined between $10 and $50 for each day of each offense. But another reason not to store gasoline is the danger involved. How many times have you read stories about a child drinking gasoline that was stored in a Coke bottle? Or what about the numbers of fires and explosions started each year by gasoline stored in an unsafe place or an unsafe container? So, here again are some rules to follow concerning gasoline storage: 1. It's best not to store any gasoline or similar fuel. 2. If you absolutely have to keep a small amount -- under five gallons -- of gasoline on hand, store it in a clearly labeled, heavy metal safety container with a tightly closed lid. Never store gas or other liquid fuel in glass or plastic bottles, or in empty soft drink bottles which could lure children. 3. Place the metal container in a cool, well ventilated area. Never keep it inside the house or in the basement. 4. Never carry gasoline anywhere in a car, including the trunk. Escaping vapors can easily ignite. 5. Never store gas near open flames, stoves, pilot lights, heaters, electric motors, or other sources of ignition.

Don't use gasoline for cleaning clothing or paint brushes, exterminating insects, priming carburetors, or starting or feeding fires. 8. Keep gasoline or other liquid fuels and polishes out of the reach of children. 9. Avoid repeated or prolonged contact of skin with gas. and avoid breathing fuel vapors. 10. If someone does swallow gasoline accidentally, do not induce vomiting. During the act of swallowing such substances, the person may have gagged and drawn the liquid into the lungs, producing a severe or deadly infoamation. Call for medical help immediately.

IfH by the New Deal measures he instituted. He showed the way (or our system to accommodate to the public interest--at least that's how I remember it. From Amber Corsello, San Diego, California: I, like many Americans, remember the days when this country didn't have it so good. It was back in the 30's and I lived in the Midwest--but it was rough everywhere. Thank heavens for the New Deal. I hear people now saying some of those policies hurt this country in the long run but let me tell you what good it did then. In the first place anybody who really wanted to work could get a job. That sure relieved a lot of distress. Then too much was done in the way of physically rebuild­ ing this country. Natural re­ source development was enhanc­ ed greatly. New dams were con­ structed, national parks develop­ ed, dust bowls reforested--and much more to turn the tide against natural resource deple­ tion and abuse. FDR, by recog­ nizing that the federal govern­ ment has the ultimate responsi­ bility for the welfare of its peo­ ple, in my opinion, saved Ameri­ can "sDitalism during this period OMrlmar, In tt», tmSSlnl,«>?
