was not q great deal that could be
done. but the new helmets have help

cops said today that they had not had
the helmets long enough TO know
whether they liked them or not, all
appeared "as pleased as Punch" with

THO helmets were ordered some
time ago but as they are in use IN
very fewe citios. and because OF the
difficulty encountered In obtaining
them. they arrived a little too late for
