The Policeman's Lot - is quite a happy one, at any rate in Athens on New Year's ave. From early morning until late at night, motorists bring presents of all kinds - wine, clothes, toys, crockery, food, flowers and pile them around the platform on which their favourites point duty policeman stands. Police lorries collect the present at intervals and they are shared out equally among the traffic police. December 15, 1947. (Photo by Mirror Features).
