Trying To Make Living
Furthermore, 1t was said today,
the young men are trying to make
a living. Being named to the super
numerary force does not put them
to work on a saary. They must be
given assignments before being
paid. They are not even sure that
they will ever go on the regular
force. The Republican editorial to
