NATIONAL SERVICE DRIVING LICENCES rrHE issue of National Service driving J. licences will be discontinued, and new drivers will be required to obtain provisional licences, with a view to passing the driving test. Present holders of the National licences may, however, take the test without first obtaining a provisional licence. Those who pass may retain the National licences, or, if they wish, take out an ordinary licence entitling them to drive at any time. Those who fail cannot expect to retain the National licences, and these will be withdrawn at an early date in cases where the owners have not passed the test.

Application forms for test can be obtained from local taxation officers or from Regional Transport Commissioners, Railways Devoid of Enterprise D AILWAY companies were strongly IV criticized by Mr. Robert Taylor, general secretary of the Scottish Horse and Motormen's Association, in an address which he gave at a co-operative conference in Motherwell, last week. The railways, he said, were feeling the effects of new and more flexible forms of transport, and were appealing for assistance, not because they desired to improve the service to the community, but because they desired to protect shareholders.

Mr. Taylor declared that from the ' day the railway companies' capital was introduced into road transport the extension of these services to the community steadily decreased. They have no enterprise and are not prepared to run on routes which, for a time, would be unproductive. They are content all the time to invest money in enterprises which, it is already known, will earn dividends.
