New Auto Tag Is 1-1 Oth
As Large, But Twice as
Hard to Buy This Year
Raleigh, Dec. i5.?Although Tai
Heel auto owners will get only one
tiny slip of precious metal for an
auto tag?instead of the formidable
two large tags of previous years?
they will go to twice as much
trouble and spenei three times a;
much time in getting them. Anc
they'll cost just as much.
Consequently, it is anticipated
that tens of thousands of last-minute
applicants may be earless a;
well as gasless January 1st. according
to the N. C. motor vehicle department.
which is rather frantically
trying to warn motorists to start
buying their tags now.
Must Have Old Card
In the first place, no 1943 tabs
will be issued until the motorist has
turned in his 1943 registration card.
It die motorist has lost his 1942
card, there is only one way to get it
replaced?via the motor vehicle office
in Rak igh. Branch offices of
the Carolina Motor Club, which is
handling sales in about 60 cities,
are forbidden to issue replacements
for lost 1942 cards. This is the first
year the autoist has had to turn in
his last year's card, and officals estimate
that some thousands of Tar
Heels will siiddenlv discover that
they do not have one. They recommend
that motorists check now to
see if they have such a card. and. if
not, to make application for replacement
immediately.
Their concern over this come?
rcm the experience they had during
the OPA gasoline registration.
At that time, some 40.000 North
Carolinians discovered they had lost
: eir 1942 registration cards, and
r.e Raleigh motor vehicle office was
flooded for weeks with applications
r replacement.:. At one time,
mound 1,000 letters and telegrams
were being received each day.
Musi List Occupation
In the second place, each applit
ant's occupation must bo written on
rn> second or the four cards of the
w registration strip?also a new
..trip, to same time when the 1943
>rds are received, applicants are
isked to write their occupation
ight above the line "Alphabetical

L of the second card. This is a re-1 ^
quirement of the war department! L
' this year.
With these things done already,
the applicant presents himself tc
. the nearest license sale branch.
There, the clerk will fill into the
( blanks the old 1942 license plate'
, number which, of course, the motor-1
ist retains for another year. The;
( 1942 pocket card itself is left with
. the clerk.
I The tab the applicant will receive L>
will be affixed to the rear license !:
I plate, but the front license plate p
must also be retained. Do not. caution
the motor vehicle officials, P
: throw away either of your old
i plates?you will have the same old
number that you had in 1942.
Migration Worry I
Another worry arising in this ^
i year's license plate sale comes from
the fact that thousands of motor- ^
ists have moved into defense areas. ^
Many of these people. Ward thinks,
: will not receive their new 1943 '''
j pocket registration cards. If any ,
motorist has not received such a
card by December 10th he should.
I get busy and notify the motor ve-1
tucle department in Raleigh of the I .
'fact so that the misdirected card ^
can be substituted and sent on to |
i him at his new address. j
'We anticipate that it will take j
three times as long to sell a tab this I
year as it took to sell two plates j
last year, " Ward explained. "There- j ^
i fore, unless motorists want to stand j m
in line and even be without their ly,
i plates for several days, every effort:
should be made to clear up any I ^
: doubts at the start of the sale j ,
period. There will be no extension j "
of time beyond December 31. 1942." j ,,
