METER MAIDS If You Can't Lick 'Em, Join Them,' Say Cops BY BOB STOKES Emerald Staff Writer Girls, are you running out of beauty contests and sweetheart competitions to enter? Well, here’s a brand new title to add to your collection: Meter Maid. It not only offers a title, it offers a career. The contest is being sponsored by the Civil Service Board of Portland to recruit a sturdy pioneer stock of women who will serve citations to parking viola tors. So if you're tired of being called one of those “blankety blank women drivers.” here is your chance for revenge. One can see the craftiness of the PCSB in allowing only wo men with driver's licenses to ap ply. For every woman driver they hire to walk all day, Port land strikes another blow for traffic safety! According to the PCSB an nouncement, only women be tween the ages of 23 and 35 in clusive may apply. This is un idoubtedly part of the board's I strict honesty test. There will probably be a train ing course on how to write out | a ticket in short-hand while the j victim is racing you to his car; j i or how to decide which Volks- j j wagen deserves a ticket when I there are three crowded into one ! parking space. For those interested, inter-! views will be held in Portland in ! November. Madame will be fingerprinted and her prison rec j ord will be checked. If she is I a war veteran, she will be given veteran's preference. If she is a veteran wounded in action, the job is in the bag. The Meter Maid must be physi cally able to pound the pavement S hours a day. 40 hours a week, 'in fair weather or foul. High heels are not recommended. If, at the age of 65, our heroine isn’t pounding her beat up yonder, she will receive enough retirement benefits to keep her in Dr. Scholls for her twilight years.
