Newscopy: "LEARNING THE KNOW HOW--Women police candidates pause in the midst of their third day of training on three-wheeled motorcycles at the Police Academy for a word of explanation from their instructor, Sergeant Fred Flynn, of the Traffic Bureau. already batting around the parade ground at the academy, practicing their stops and starts, after learning the mechanics of the motorcycles, the girls drew the praise from Sergeant Flynn that 'they are doing fine, better than some of the men.' Left to right they are Miss Rita Bernell, Mrs. Mary M. O'Malley, Mrs. Vera C. Wendt, Mrs. Elizabeth M. Rickey, Mrs. Amy Sliger and (seated) Mrs. Florence M. Moodie."
