John A. Johnson Roceives Award
On December 15, 1973, Mr.
John A. Johnson of Warsaw
received an award for 'outstand
ing Community Service' for his
participation in the Passport
Application Acceptance Pro
?am. Mr. Johnson received
? award from Frances G.

Office of Washington, D.C.
Mr. Johnson briefly described
his Job with passports in Ae
following statements. 'Here
in the office we fill oat the
applications for passports end
. tail them for final approval
to Washington, DjC. It takes
about two weeks under ideal
situations to get the form com
pleted and returned from Wash
ington. This Job takes knowlege
and we must be correct in our
work or the form will be return
ed to us from Washington in
complete,' So, there is evi
dently a good deal of work that
goes into obtaining a passport
to another country.
Mr. Johnson had these com
ments about his award and the
