Governor proposes voluntary gasoline rationing plan for North Carolina
Governor Holshouser announced a voluntary system to ease the fuel shortage in North Carolina. The plan mirrors Oregon and asks motorists to buy gas only when their gauge sits at half and to follow license plate parity for days of purchase. Operators should raise per-customer limits to 10 gallons, extend hours, and display a green flag when gas is available. The aim is to reduce long lines and keep stations open, though supply remains uncertain and the governor cannot guarantee relief.

Aluminum Pennies May Replace Copper in U S Mint
A U S Mint plan would replace copper with 96 percent aluminum in one cent coins within a year. Congress approved the move amid copper price fears, while vending machines test acceptance. Gresham's Law history frames the shift, noting prior metal content changes and silver hoarding.
