Identity cards
Sir, — I am 78 years of age, and for more years than I can remember I have carried a homemade fully-detailed identity card. I have not felt in the least “cabined, cribbed, confined,” nor do I expect
to feel more so if and when a properly printed one is provided free by the Government. I ask only that they leave me enough space to insert the names of my parish priest, lawyer, trustees, physician and medicine. I live alone, and when I had to be carted off precipitately to hospital the doctors were able to learn at once from my I.D. what medicine I was on, and make an instant diagnosis. — Yours, etc., KENNETH SCHOLLAR. July 11, 1985.
