Secretary of Reve¬ nue John B, Kelly revealed today. Since 1933 new applicants for Pennsylvania drivers' licenses are tested by the Highway Patrol for their hearing, sight and physical fitness us well as for their driving ability and knowledge of the mo¬ tor laws. Drivers licensed prior to that time did not submit to any ex¬ amination and recently the depart¬ ment has begun a drive to segre¬ gate physically impaired operators in this large group. As a result many physically un¬ fit operators have l»een discovered i and their driving privileges with¬ drawn ill an eflort to promote safe¬ ty on the highways by removing po¬ tentially dangerous drivers. A to¬ tal of 22,996 operators who demon¬ strated their safe driving abilitv in .spite of physical defects are allowed to drive under certain restrictlms Each operat irs license of a phy¬ sically impaired driver is stamped "CO," indicating a 'crippled opera¬ tor," Such operators are nquired to take a special examination given by a highway patrolman or a ph,- sician before the license is granted and a re<«samlnatlon is frequently required each year, Operatota having impaired vision may be required to wear suitable glasses while driving and in some , cases are granted the privilege to i operate only during the daylight hours, Peraons deprived of the use of their limbs are licensed to op¬ erate only cars equipped with spe¬ cial controls. The most prevalent defect is im¬ paired vision which is suffered by 9,427 operators. Other impairments are ,ire follows: Le«s, 5,606: hands, 2,900: hearing. 1,904: arms. 1,945; fert, 1,407; knee?, 433: hips. 361; elbows, 46; miscellaneous, 463 Among those who demonstrat-'d their safe driving ability in spite of serious handicaps were .six with both arms off. 109 with both legs off, 1,151 with one arm off, 2,259 with one leg off and 2M deaf mutes. Licensed operators upon sustata- tng a physical hnpairment are re¬ quired to notify the department immediately MenUlly or physically incapaci¬ tated applicants for operators 11- cen,sos are required to state their impalrment.s on their application forms Failure to do jc is punish¬ able by a flne of tatt and two years suspension of the driving privilege • O An interesting meeting of the Woman's Club waa held on Monday evening In the music room of ch?

SUCKER SEASON REST IN PAST TEN WINTERS
Harrisburg, Peb II,—Pennaylva- hia (Ishermen this winter are en¬ joying the finest flshhig for suck¬ ers in a decade, the Pish Commis¬ sion said today.
With many of the outstanding auclter streams of the State, includ¬ ing the Juniata River and its tribu¬ taries, clear of ice and mild wea¬ ther prevailing in many sections, exceptional catches of this fine food Hah have been made.
Outstanding of the sucker catchea made so far was that of Alonao Oreenawan of Tyrone. Trying hia luck at the Juncture of the Rays- town Branch of the Juniata and the Juniata River near Huntingdon, on January 3S, Oreenawan caught 13 auckers. The amaUest tUh in his catch measured IS inches in length, and the largest was 33 Inches, weighing five pounds, according to Warden C. V. Long, of East Water- ford, who reported the catch, Plve trips to the same place, prior to this catch, yielded from t to tt suckers a day for this Tyrone fish¬ erman.
Many of the suckers being caught contain roe, and from aU reports avaiUble the flsh are in uniformly good eondltlon for the table, their Besb aweet and Srm.
Ocnerally the best place to flsh for sudMrs In winter and early apring la at the Juncture of tribu¬ tary watera with larger atreama By taiatlnct, the flsh gather at auch during the winter tn great During mUd winter waather aa haa peevalletf tbla year, they ' feed consistently.

Harrisburg, Feb 11—Two years of intensive investigations and s;;:- cial examinations have established the fact that roughly one out of even- 100 motor vehicle operators is physically impaired to a greater or less degree. Secretary of Reve¬ nue John B, Kelly revealed today.
Since 1933 new applicants for Pennsylvania drivers' licenses are tested by the Highway Patrol for their hearing, sight and physical fitness us well as for their driving ability and knowledge of the mo¬ tor laws. Drivers licensed prior to that time did not submit to any ex¬ amination and recently the depart¬ ment has begun a drive to segre¬ gate physically impaired operators in this large group.
As a result many physically un¬ fit operators have l»een discovered i and their driving privileges with¬ drawn ill an eflort to promote safe¬ ty on the highways by removing po¬ tentially dangerous drivers. A to¬ tal of 22,996 operators who demon¬ strated their safe driving abilitv in .spite of physical defects are allowed to drive under certain restrictlms
Each operat irs license of a phy¬ sically impaired driver is stamped "CO," indicating a 'crippled opera¬ tor," Such operators are nquired to take a special examination given by a highway patrolman or a ph,- sician before the license is granted and a re<«samlnatlon is frequently required each year,
Operatota having impaired vision may be required to wear suitable glasses while driving and in some , cases are granted the privilege to i operate only during the daylight hours, Peraons deprived of the use of their limbs are licensed to op¬ erate only cars equipped with spe¬ cial controls.
The most prevalent defect is im¬ paired vision which is suffered by 9,427 operators. Other impairments are ,ire follows: Le«s, 5,606: hands, 2,900: hearing. 1,904: arms. 1,945; fert, 1,407; knee?, 433: hips. 361; elbows, 46; miscellaneous, 463
Among those who demonstrat-'d their safe driving ability in spite of serious handicaps were .six with both arms off. 109 with both legs off, 1,151 with one arm off, 2,259 with one leg off and 2M deaf mutes. Licensed operators upon sustata- tng a physical hnpairment are re¬ quired to notify the department immediately
MenUlly or physically incapaci¬ tated applicants for operators 11- cen,sos are required to state their impalrment.s on their application forms Failure to do jc is punish¬ able by a flne of tatt and two years suspension of the driving privilege
