VEHICLE OFFICE
BEING RENOVATED
Speed in Handling Driving
Licenses Applications
Sought

Waterbury's branch Office Of the
state motor vehicle department Is
being entirely renovated. The
changes are being made SO as TO
afford more speed in the handling
of applicants for driving licenses
and car registrations. Also, 1t is
expected, the convenience Of the
applicants will be greatly augment
ed.
Several desks and departments
are being shifted. When the
changes are completed It is ex-
pected that the Office will present
an entirely new aspect to persons
visiting the department.
- The office of the inspectors,
which has been located for many
years past at the southern end Of
the motor vehicle Office. Is to be
shifted to a more convenient spot
in the building so as to eliminate
congestion on rush days. Many
days the Office is crowded with
persons waiting to be taken out by
the inspectors for driving tests.
The long, unattractive iron rail-
ing that stood in front Of the win
dows Of the various clerks for sew
eral years Is to be removed entire
ly. This pipe railing was set up to
keep applicants for licenses and
registration cards in line. However
1t is felt that the new layout will
serve the purpose better.

Hostilities Spread to Many Fronts

stilton, while ITALY staked her for
tunes on good old Gorgonzola.
Across the Rhine, the forces Of
Lederkranz and Limburger were
modified, waiting for the first ia
vorabfe breeze. Holland threw her
weight into the conflict in defense
of Edam, and the Swiss yodeled
defiance to all who would attack
their product.
The war broke out when the
French government established an
import quota reducing imports Of
foreign cheese. A council Of war
was called in the Netherlands,
whose cheese producers found
their exports to France greatly
curtailed.
But before they could act, the
old law Of supply and demand
came to their aid. AS soon as i'm
ports Of Dutch cheese were re-
duced by the quota, the price Of
Dutch cheese rose in France.
Meanwhile, hostilities had spread
to other fronts. France checked
an invasion of Italian cheese, but
the Italians quickly blocked q Gal
lie counter-attack.
