In many states the plates on

Wyoming announced II will issue
one fiber board or plastic plate and
Utah that 1t will issue two plastic

Most license administrators said
they will conserve war-needed steel

State budgets have been cut
slightly by use OF the cheaper sub

accounting clerks unanimously dis

Revenue officials termed the

On pools where minnuws hide
There is yet time for being
Aware of quiet things,
For waiting long and seeing

In which the heart can learn
A kinShip that embraces
