/ I'.yiK 7 - FL^INDEALER-WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1973 Lakemoor-Lilymoor Alms Huecksttedt '385-5689 Ask Area High School Siudehts Help Conserve Gas Are ydu doing your share? I would like to direct this item to the high school students who drive their own cars to school. As long as gasoline is a major problem, you could help tremendously by riding the buses that are provided by tax monies. It seems that gallons and gallons of gas could be saved if most of the students would leave their cars home. I realize there are exceptions <o every rule and if you have a job to go to directly from school then this does not apply to you, but if you are not of the working class yet then why not help conserve the gasoline supply by riding the bus. Let our area be the first with the overcrowded buses or at least filled to capacity with conscientious young adults willing to do their share.
