Public Didn’t Appreciate This Kind of Help
Williamstown New Jersey Union Press International reports service station owner Harry Simmerman raised gas prices to 82 cents for regular and 5 cents for high test on Thanksgiving to help those in need. He reverted to 42 7 cents and 47 cents respectively the next day saying it was a one day aid and that prices rose to prevent running out of fuel. He defended the move as aimed at people who really needed it and asked customers not to buy Rosaline at holiday prices unless necessary. His Shell service station on the Black Horse Pike in Gloucester County remained the only open spot linking Atlantic City to Philadelphia.
