WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1974

+WE HAVE ALL OF US, INDIVIDUALS OR CORPORATE ENTERPRISES, GOT TO MAKE UP OUR MINDS TO MAKE THE SYSTEM WORK. IF ANY SECTOR OF THE COMMUNITY TAKES A NEGATIVE OR SELFISH ATTITUDE AND JUST CONCENTRATES ON SATISFYING ITS OWN NEEDS REGARDLESS OF OTHERS, THEN THIS SECTOR WILL BE LETTING THE SIDE DOWN, AND LETTING THE PEOPLE DOWN.

+WORSE STILL, ANY SUCH ATTITUDE WILL SUBSTANTIALLY INCREASE THE RISK THAT THE BASIC RESTRICTIONS DESIGNED TO ACHIEVE THE 25 PER CENT SAVING - THE 4-HOUR DAILY SUPPLY WHICH WILL OPERATE FROM OCTOBER 30 - WILL PROVE INADEQUATE.

+ IT WOULD BE A TRAGEDY IF WE HAD TO HAVE RECOURSE TO TOUGHER RESTRICTIONS BECAUSE OF THE THOUGHTLESSNESS OF ANY ELEMENT IN THE COMMUNITY. I AM DETERMINED TO AVOID THIS, THERE IS A GREAT FUND OF COMMUNAL GOOD SENSE AND GOODWILL AMONG THE PEOPLE HERE. 1 APPEAL TO EVERYONE TO HELP SPREAD THIS POSITIVE ATTITUDE MOST OF ALL BY EXAMPLE.+
