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.
