Out To Get All
Drunken Drivers

Rigid compliance with the stat
uteS covering operation of motor
vehicles on the highways of Maine,
with especial reference to operation
while under the influence of intoXi-
eating liquor. may be expected to
obtain under the policy of the State
Highway Commission. as evidenced
by pronouncement of Lyman II. Mel
son who presided at hearings recent
~ at the Falmouth hotel, Portland,
covering several petitions for resto-
ration of operators licenses. An in
novation in the workings of the COM
mission was announced at this time
in which it was pointed out that
hereafter in cases of Maine automo-
bile drivers who may be convicted
in courts outside the State for oper-
ating while under the influence of
liquor, consideration will be taken
up by the commission to determine
whether or not the licenses of such
drivers should be revoked within
Maine.
Thus, in the future. holders of
Maine automobile operating licenses
hailed before court either in Maine
or some other state, may very prop
erly expect to have their certificates
revoked by the State Highway Com
mission.
Furthermore. as Commissioner
Nelson warned the petitioners before
taking up their individual cases. in
cases of second offense for driving
while under influence Of liquor. Ii
censes will not only again be re-
voked. but will not thereafter be
restored. This is TO apply in a broad
sense. for the revocation will take
place on information reaching the
commission that the offender has
been found under the influence of
liquor. whether or not he is found

In the states where rehabilitation

expense, the disabled person receives
a service which includes physical
examination, presthetic appliances

satisfactory job at the conclusion OF
the course, and helpful fol- ow-up

agent during his first few months OF
employment. In some states, pro-
vision has been made from state
funds, for surgical service in addi-
ton to the above. Through reha-
biIitation, the disabled and helpless
person makes a complete cycle, back
to employability.
Were the disabled person left I'M

support would be many times $2OO

committee. Rehabilitation is a
