er, with frequent rains during the

Complete Schedule
For Driver’s Exams
Failure to Take Exam
ination Will Result
In Fine
Col. L. C. Rosser, Commissioner of
Motor Vehicles, has issued a complete
schedule for re-examination of all
drivers as provided in the Highway
Safety Act passed by the 1947 Gen
eral Assembly.
As previously announced, people
whose surnames begin with A and B'
are being examined now—during the
period beginning July 1 and ending
December 31 of this year.
Persons whose last names begin
with C and O will be examined be
tween January 1 and June 30, 1948.
The schedule for other alphabetical
groups follows:
E, F and G drivers —from July 1 to
December 31, 1948.
H, I, J and K—between January 1'
and June 30, 1949.
L and M—between July 1 and De
cember 31, 1949.
N, O, P and Q —between January
1 and June 30, 1950.
R, S and T—between July 1 and
December 31, 1950.
U, V, W, X, Y and Z—between
January 1 and June 30, 1951.
Col. Rosser said the re-examination
schedule had been worked out care
fully according to the number of
drivers in each alphabetical group.
He added that: “At the end of four
years, I hope North Carolina can
boast a group of safe-minded mo
torists.”
Taking four years to complete, the
re-examination program is designed
to eliminate all poor drivers from the
roads. A thorough driving test is
now being given, which examines mo
torists on the essential driving tech
niques. Given in four parts, the
exam consists of: a vision test, a
highway sign test, a written rules
questionnaire and an actual road test.
Col. Rosser again urged upon mo
torists the necessity of taking the ex
amination as soon as their alphabet
ical group comes up. Persons caught
driving on old licenses after the ex
piration of their alphabetical group

deadline will be guilty of driving
without a license, which is a mis
demeanor, and will be punished by a
fine of not less than $25.

which will be distributed throughout
the State by local school superinten

A spectacular, revue and grand
stand show, including a dozen out
standing hippodrome acts, will be
presented each night, and a dazzling
fireworks display will end each even
