 Secretary Smith also will make two other addresses. One will be before the physical directors on the subject Modern Trends in Y. M. C. A. Work for Men and Boys" The other will be before the gem eral secretaries on the subject "The Administration of the Y. M. c. A. in the Midst of Unemploy- ment."
 Educational Director Arthur l.. Purinton and the general secretary recently returned from the meeting of the National Council of the Y. M. c. A. and the National Em- ployed Officers Conference. It is because of recognition of the conception of the Y. M. c. A. as an educational institution, that the local general secretary received such outstanding recognition re- gently. The interest of other sec retaries in attendance at the sum- mer educational school is evidence of the further trend of the local Y. M. c. A. toward the educational ideal. Each of the local secretaries will attend a separate institute and bring the benefit home to the Wa terbury Y. M. c. A.

A proposed change in the meth- cd of issuing and applying for mo- tor vehicle operators licenses, with a contemplated substantial savings in cost, was announced to- day in a statement issued by Col oneI Michael A. Connor. commis- sfoner of motor vehicles. The plan, under consideration by the department for the past several weeks, is designed primarily to ex- pedite the issuance of drivers H. censes during the annual spring rush.
 Under the proposal applicants who apply for q renewal of their previous years license will simply forward the stub attached to their present license to the department, either by mail or in person, and receive forthwith the permanent license which shall have been pre- pared for them in advance.
 Colonel Connor pointed out to- day that at present applicants for drivers licenses are annually giv- ing to the department information about themselves which the de- partment already has on file. The only thing that differs from year 10 year III EeBaTU IO LII dPphSant 70 the additional year which has been added to his age. Otherwise" he said, ''the information relative to name, address, height, age and so forth is Identical in most instances with that which is already on rec ord in the department. Therefore 1t would appear to be simple mat ter to prepare renewal licenses well in advance of their date of issuance thereby relieving the department of the terrific congestion and labor annually involved. That the public will be more expeditiously served and that actual costs of the work be materially reduced are self-evi- dent factors"
 Commissioner Connor said that to date only the broader aspects of the plan had been worked out but that the mechanical details of operation within the department were progressing rapidly. He made it clear that, though the same prin- ciple of issuance might be used in connection with registration of ye- hicles, the department would limit it's application to operators H.
