We cannot op erate the inspection equipment during rainy, wet weather, and this pretty, dry weather will not continue throughout the year. Then. too. there will be several days around Christmas when the lanes will be closed." Moore stated that around 1170. 000 vehicles had been inspected so far. and added that there are still around 150.000 that have not yet visited one of the State's 40 inspection lanes. The inspec tion law requires tiia! all vehi cles registered in North Car-'boa must be inspected once in 10 11! and every six nv ntb; t' -reafter.

The greatest single defect has been poor headlights, with bad brakes running a close second. "When 1049 rolls around, there will not be nearly so many re jections, because most of the serious defects will have been corrected through the 1948 in spections." Moore said. The in spection program has also serv ed to warn motorists that cer tain parts of their vehicles need periodic attention, and they now have a tendency to keep their safety devices in good shape. Despite the numerous improve ments, the biggest point in fav or of the Inspection Program is the fact that traffic deaths have been reduced 15 per cent this year over last. Pointing out that the program was originated merely as a measure to save liv es. Moore said. "I believe it is doing just that.” CARD OF THANKS We wish to thank the many friends and neighbors for then kindness and sympathy shown during the death of our daugh ter-in-law.

A PERMANENT WAVE | Specials Offered On All Permanents From Now Until Christmas I Mayflower Beauty Shop W PHONE 89 WEST JEFFERSON, N. C. During the last war, G. I.’s scattered all over the globe learned first-hand that men in other lands think how blessed are Americans because they have the privilege of living in the greatest nation in the world. It’s true that every man has something for which he can be thankful. This is as it should be. Yet today there are millions who must look long and search hard for blessings sufficient to balance the day-after-day hardships under which they live. Americans — all of us — owe to ourselves a solemn obligation to be, not smugly pleased with our lot, but deeply grateful for our nation’s heritage, for liberty, for opportunity . . . and for the privilege of living as we do. The United States itself is the world's biggest reason why we who live here have so much more to be thankful for than the less fortunate people in any other land in the world. NotfaMc and. HfesteUc
