Roberts, president of the Carolina Motor Club, “will begin examining their vehicles now and make any re pairs needed to pass the North Caro lina motor vehicles mechanical in spection wh'ch commences on Janu ary 1, 1048.” The insp'ction law passed by the 1947 General Assembly provides that every North Carolina motor vehicle must be inspected once during 1948 and twice a year thereafter. “Motorists who have already been re-examined for driving licenses," says Mr. Roberts, “have found out that the State means business in its highway safety program. We have every reason to believe that the com- j ing inspect on of motor vehicles will | be a fair one in every respect but! very exaet'rg. Your Job is to see | that your lotor vehicle is in proper; mechanical shape to pass that exam ination.” Forty “< afety lanes” will be es- Warr s Sir* Shop WEST EDEN STREET . . .
