RUSH SETS IN
Motor Registration and Drivers' Licences The inevitable rush for motor-veh-icle registrations and the issue of drivers' licences has set in, and there was a steady stream of people making their request's at the Post Office and Borough Council offices this morning. With just one week to go oificials have resigned themselves to an extraordinary rush of applications this year, for never before has the plea to "do it early" been so disregarded as has been tbe case this year.
