DRIVERS URGED
To GET CARDS

District officials are worried over
the possibility of last-minute rush
for renewal Of drivers permits at
the end of the year.
To date only 1851 renewals have
been issued out of the expected
10000 total. This leaves more
than 100000 renewals to be issued
between now and the end Of the
year.
If this number is spread evenly
over the remaining days of the
year. it will make an average of
1900 permits to be renewed per
day. If. however as now seems
likely. the majority of motorists
attempt to get their renewals dur
ing the last few days Of December,
the Traffic Bureau will be over

What becomes Of the heroes Of
the Fire Department who are in

services of a specialist not author
lied by the department?
They go out and search for
jobs as watchmen in an effort to
make the payments on their homes,
and furnish their families with the
bare necessities of life. says Sergt.
Angelo Schneider, retired August

Schneider was injured in August

quest. In December Of the same
year he was ordered back to duty
by the surgeons Of the police and
fire departments, worked for three
months and then collapsed.
Believing that there was some

so he went of his own accord and
was under treatment for a year, ut
his own expense. Then he was

signed to inspecting.
After a year Of this he was made
a sergeant and reassigned to active
duty.

he was retired.
During the time that lie was
under treatment by this special
