GASOLINE SHORTAGE BBC OMRS ACUTE.
While some stove oil has been rocie
ved in Palmer to relieve that situa
tion,it seems that wc are in for a
bad time on the gasoline situation.
We hear reports that it may be two
'or three months before gasoline wil
be plentyful again, and it may even
be longer than that. Anchorage and
Palmer are both short on gas.
