A Drivers License

TRUE STORY

for Carol

by Carol Roberts 35-L-12 FPE

> Carol has been around for quite some time, doing the things that most girls do and enjoying every minute of it. She has been to movies, to nice restaurants and has shopped for her own clothes. The best times of all were when she was able to go to other cities and spend the week end. She has traveled on buses and trains quite often, but the day came when she decided that it would be much nicer to be able to drive her own car. Of course she realized that there would be a certain risk to this but she felt that if she were to get a driver"s license this would keep the risk down to a mininum.

Taking first things first, she set about getting her temporary permit which was very simple to do. She simply got up one morning, dressed, taking pains to look her very best and in no time at all she was applying for her permit. The next step, and a very big one in- deed was that of getting the operator's license.

Carol very carefully called the Highway Patrol and made the appointment stating at the time that it was her brother cal..ng and that Carol was a mute but was ready to take her test. He also stated that he would bring the car out the night before and park it on the lot so it would be there for her the next day. Feeling that everything was now in good order, Carol arose the next day dressed with great care, to be sure to look her very best. She chose a light blue skirt and white blouse, topped off with a lovely little blue hat. Checking to be sure the seams in her hose were straight she slipped into her black pumps and throwing a white sweater around her shoulders, off she went to the Highway Patrol Office.
