(We have in mind a little story told by Fred Heide that sums up something like this "The Secretary of State Edward J; Barrett has announced that more thaa 200.000 persons, exclusive of thoee who aeeortfng to law are entitled to reassignment of a previous year's license number, have sent in requests for "special" He ease numbers. "Naturally, it will be impossible to satisfy all these requests," 8eeretary Barrett said, "We try in all eases to AH requests for "Specials" but we have not yet found any way in which we can give the same number to several hundred persons." Clerks who are handling the annual reassignment and request task state that thousands of persons who sre expecting four or five figure plates ia their Christmas stocking will be disappointed be eaus» 58 per cent of all numbers in the 100,000 class are reassignment numbers. , "At least 80,00 applicants for five figure plates iwth combinations of phone numbers, house addresses, service serial numbers, lucky' numbers, etc., will be disappointed," Barrett said, "beeaues there just aren't enough numbers to keep everybody happy." Whatever peesible we try to come as close to the person's request as possible, sometimes by adding a digit either ia front of or behind the number asked for." Secretary Barrett stnssud the point that early application for a "special" number did not necessarily assure the applicant of receiving it. * "We must make the publie understand," Mr. Barrett continued, "that NO applications except those for reassignment sre acted upon until after Dec. 1, the legal deadline for requesting a repeat on last yew's time is shorter than we think.") number."
