LICENSE RENEWALS
 NOW BEING ISSUED
New Driver, Out-of-State Drivers Advised to Ap-
 ply Without Delay

If you are an out-of-state driver or new driver, and must therefore take an examination before receiv- ing a Connecticut drivers license, give yourself a break by coming in before May, the peak-rush month Motor Vehicles Department bulle- tin warns.
 An applicant may take his ex- animation for 1942 license now, although it will not be issued to him until late, in April, 1t was pointed out. 194l licenses expire at midnight, April 30. License re- newals will be issued now.
 The number of examinations given during April is always high, but May is the peak month. Last year during May, 13,400 eXamina- tions were given, an increase of B. 792 over the 9,6o8 given during that month the year before.
 May, last year, recorded more than twice as many examinations as April and more than three times as many as March. In May last year inspectors had to be trans ferred among the branch offices and from the inspection lanes in or6er to handle the rush of applicants for examinations. Nearly half an hour has to be allowed for the road test in the average case.
 All out-of-state drivers must take the eye test and the last test. The road test may be waived, however, If an operator holds a current H. cense in another state where the examination Is similar to Connecti- cuts.

 T hope people are not under the impression that all the defense jobs are filled and have decided to go back to business as usual" Mrs. Sperry said Such is far from the case. We need more volunteers. Lots of them. Especially men,"
 "Men are still needed as aux liary firemen, auxiliary policemen, air raid wardens and airplane ob- servers. Women are needed for many positions. The greatest need of Wo- men right now is in the Red Cross motor corps.
 Let's not relax until our job is done," urged Mrs. Sperry. Let every able bodied citizen who has not got a volunteer war job already, come in to our office and register. We are open week day mornings from g un- til 1 o'clock and Wednesday after moons from 2 to 6:30 o'clock.
