London's oldest cab driver is Joe
Mindon. who has been so years on
the box. and whose greatest pride IS
the fact that the late King Edward
was for years one of his regular
fares"
Motorization OF the means Of
transportation in London has left
old Joe almost without employment,
and he talks jauntily of acquiring a
taxicab. Asked for his opinion of
the taxi the aged cabby said ref1ec-
lively:
They have driven us off the
streets in the same way the buses
are driving them off. And as for
the traffic. we'll soon have to start
burrowing underground. Give me
the old days with clear streets and a
