Energy Crunch Shrinks New Christmas Records
Philadelphia reports a lull in new holiday albums as the energy crisis and vinyl costs push labels to favor proven sellers. Industry officials cite shrinking adult markets, fewer new holiday songs, and limited sales windows as reasons for the cutback. Radio groups plan mixed responses while some stations reprise classic Nat King Cole as reissues sell out.

Gas Stations Strike To Close For Christmas Holiday
A survey of 220000 gasoline stations shows many plan Christmas and New Year closures with some extending beyond. Akron operators vow a week long halt starting midnight Thursday to Wednesday morning, supplying only emergencies. Officials estimate half the stations could close for three days, while others stay open only for emergencies or limited fuel via allocations.
