The 1956 re-licensing period runs from January 3 through Fcrbuary 15, she said. Renewal cards will be placed in the mail the latter ?art of December. As In the past over-the-counter sales will be handled by branch offices of the Carolina Motor Club, the Winston Salem Auto Club and by Motor Vehicle Headquarters.

The '56 plates will be i3sued with the "Drive Safely" slogan, which1 was dropped thi3 year because of space limitations.
