BOYD WORRELL’S THANKS Boyd Worrell wants to thank the Knitters and Fixers and all of his employees for the nice Christ mas present that they gave him for Christmas. NEW AUTO LAW IS EFFECTIVE JAN. 1 The 1947 General Assembly of North Carolina passed a compul sory motor vehicle mechanical in spection law which will become ef fective January 1, 1948. This law requires that every motor car owner in the state have his car inspected in 1948 on one of the forty “safety lanes” which will be established all over the state. The purpose of the inspections will be to discover anything wrong with a vehicle that might lead to an accident. For information of readers, following is the procedure that will be used in the safety lanes which will be set up all over the state after the first of the year. As your car or truck enters the safety lane, which is approximate ly 160 feet long, an inspector will be at the entrance to check your operator’s or chauffeur’s license and vehicle registration card. It is necessary to show these creden tials before an inspection can be made. You will then pay your $1 inspection fee and the inspector will fill out an ‘inspection card,” which will be checked throughout the lane for all types of mechan ical defects. This inspection card becomes your personal property, and vill b>? used later to aid ga rages and repair tshop.3 ir. -o-rect- ing defects on your car. You then proceed with the_ in spection card to the wheel align ment and steering tester. It is very important that these vital mechanisms of your car be kept in good condition at all times. You will be asked to drive the front wheels of your vehicle across the wheel alignment tester, and the reading will be recorded on your inspection card. Then the front end of the vehicle will be jacked up to check the wheel bearing and steering mechanism. After that, the car is dropped from the jack and the rear wheel alignment is recorded. At this second post the inspec tor will also check the tie rod, darg links, mountings, joints, tires, horn, windshield wiper, rear mir ror, windshield and other glass, li cense plates, muffler, and brake drag to see that they all come up to the minimum requirements. When this check is completed, you will proceed to post number three where the lighting equip ment will be checked. The inspec tor will test your parking and driving lights, lens and reflectors, headlights, stop light, tail light, and signal light. Special equip ment will be provided for testing lights. After the lights have been thor oughly checked and the inspection card has been punched according ly, you will proceed to the brake tester, where your hand and foot brakes will be checked, and the . grading will be recorded on the in spection card. ■r Now your vehicle is ready for its final grading. So you drive to the end of the safety lane, where an inspector will examine your inspection card and tabulate the results. If your vehicle measures up to the minimum requirements, a bright blue approval seal in the shape of the State of North Caro lina will be stuck in the corner of the windshield. You can drive away happily, knowing your car is in good, safe operating condition. —The Echo. Indian girl have heap plenty of fun with beau and error. It's A Joke Son! (The following is taken from Charley Jones’ Famous “LAUGH BOOK.” It is copyright material and used with the special permissi- ion of Charley Jones.) Horse Sense The horse walked up to the bar and asked for a martini with cat sup. The bartender mixed it and the horse gulped it down, then asked: “Do you think it’s strange that I’d come in and ask for a mar tini with catsup?” The bartender said: “No. That’s the way I like them myself.” A lot of round shouldered peo ple get that way from always following a hunch! Grandpa Cutplug says one can see clearer and farther into the future by the lamp of experience than by the rainbow of hope! Deuces Wild A Kansas preacher at the close of his sermon discovered one of the deacons asleep. He said, “We will now have a few minutes of prayer. Deacon Brown will you open?” Deacon Brown roused a bit and sleepily replied, “Open, I just dealt.” One Way of Putting It The young matron listened at tentively while her doctor pre scribed a remedy for her nervous condition. “Madam,” he said, “you require frequent baths, plenty of fresh air; also you should dress in warm clothes.” That evening she told her hus band all about it: “The doctor said I’m in a highly distraught condition, dear, and that it is es sential for me to go to Palm Beach, then to a dude ranch out west and to bu' ayself a new er mine wrap.” Suspendt t Animutlon _ In the Ozarks, where water is used only for washing feet and running under bridges, strange ideas prevail as to just what in toxication really is. In a village one Sunday, a man lay in the mid dle of the street in the broiling sun. “He’s drunk. I’d better lock him up,” the sheriff said sympa thetically. “No, he ain’t drunk,” a woman interrupted, “I just seen his fingers move!” Special Delivery A doctor was called to a house on a confinement case. The doctor went upstairs to his patient while the anxious husband remained be low. PLEASE REMEMBER The Board of the Credit Un ion asks all borrowers to please remember their accounts. If you missed a payment before Christ mas you are urged to catch up. After some time the doctor came down stairs and inquired of the husband, “Do you have a little screwdriver—just a little tiny one about this size?” The required tool was supplied and the doctor returned to the patient. Shortly he came down stairs, to say, “I need a much larger screw driver—one about this size!” The next trip down he asked for a small wrench. A moment or two later he returned to obtain a large wrench. Next he wanted a mallet and a chisel. All the time the anxious husband was becom ing more anxious. The straw that broke the ca mel’s back came when the doctor once more raced down stairs and asked for the ice tongs. “Ice tongs—what in the world you doing with all those tools? Tell me—is it a boy or a girl?” “How do I know,” said the Doc, “I can’t get my medicine chest open!” “You’re a cheat!” the first law yer accused his opponent. “You’re a liar!” the other re torted. Then from the judge: “Now that these attorneys have identified each other, we shall proceed with the case.” Retire-Ment Wine, woman and song Are man’s best bets— I’ve lost two of them But I can warble yet! There was a young lady from Ni ger, Who smiled as she rode on a ti ger. They came back from the ride With the lady inside. And the smile on the face of the tiger. Joe: “How do you like your job as salesman?” Jim: “Oh, it’s dandy. You meet some fine fellows at the hotels and have lots of fun in the evenings, but what I don’t like is calling on all those store managers.” Lawyer (for a motor accident victim): “Gentlemen of the jury, Ihe driver of the car stated that ha was going only four miles an hour. Think of it! The long agony of my poor, unfortunate client, the vic tim, as the car drove slowly over his body.” Little did we thjnk that when they started making dollar bills smaller that eventually ours would disappear altogether. Tough Luck Lochinvar The romeo of the 358th was’nt getting anyhere with his date. “Do you smoke?” he finally asked. “Nah,” she answered. “Do you drink?” She shook her head. “Neck?” “Nope.” “Eat hay?” “Of course not.” “Gosh, woman,” he exclaimed, “you’re not fit company for man 01- beast.” —Ky Staiiiey ,i. Meyc-x- Asking a woman her age|ia|like' buying a second-hand caf^T Ths speedometer’s been set ba^lf, but you can’t tell how far. V The boy and girl were out lO tho highway when the car broke dawn. He didn’t seem to mind and want ed to make love. “My kisses will put new life in you.” he said. “Then for goodness sakes, get out and kiss th» car,” she replied sweetly. (Marine Elec. Co.) Three old men were discussing the ideal way of dying. The first, aged seventy-five, said he’d like to crash in a car going 80-miles-per- hour. The second, aged eighty- five, said he’d take his finish in a 400-miles-per-hour plane. “I’ve got a better idea,” said the third, aged ninety-five: “I’d like to be shot by a jealous husband.” The whisper of a beautiful wo man can bp heard further than the loudest call of duty. Here’s to the pictures in your wallet. May they never meet! We’d like to meet a woman who doesn’t smoke, drink, or flirt—but for the life of us we can’t figure out why. In the Springtime a young man’s fancy lightly turns to— what the girls have been thinking of all winter. Originally developed by the Na vy for use against flash burns re ceived in combat, a non-toxic, non irritating ointment which protects the skin from extremes of both heat and cold is now available to the public. It is especially useful for men working near blast fur naces, inside steel mills, or under sub-freezing temperatures . . . also a good protection against sunburn. Washes off easily.
