Apparently not, the Senate State Affairs Committee decided Wed nesday in voting to change Veteran’s Day from the fourth Monday in October to Nov. 11. Nov. 11 was Armistice Day in honor of the end of World War I but was later changed to Veteran’s Day to honor veterans of World War II and the Korean War. But Congress voted in 1971 to switch the holiday to the fourth DPS to list old drivers AUSTIN (AP) — The Depart ment of Public Safety must supply a New York company with the names and addresses of all older Texas drivers for a mailing list, Atty. Gen. John Hill said Wednesday. Senior Citizens Unlimited of Tuckahoe, N.Y., asked the DPS for names, addresses, dates ofbirth and license expiration date for all Texas drivers over the age of 64 whose licenses have been issued or re newed since Jan. I, 1973. The company’s lawyers in Washington, D.C., told the DPS that Senior Citizens helps businessmen market products and services for “mature adults, ages 64-85. Specifically, the request stated, the company provides mail ing lists for such businesses as health insurance companies, phar macies and even political candi dates. Hill said the 1973 Open Records Act requires DPS “to supply large volume class type information from the basic licensing records of Texas drivers. Hill said DPS must consult with the State Board of Control to de termine how much to charge Senior Citizens. Sears Welcome Back, Aggies!
