mm pin 1 i m\ip u * mi ii new Responsibility Law Is Now Compulsory Insurance Commissioner Scheidt Says I ?? . - Motor Vehicles Commissioner Edward Scheidt explained in an official statement today the in surance features of North Caro lina's new safety Responsibility Law, which goes into effect Jan uary 1 and has sometimes been misinterpreted as a compulsory in surance act. Commissioner Scheidt pointed out that 43 other states now have the same type of law in effect and that in each one the same public misundersanding occurred that now exist in North Carolina. The most commonly misinterpreted section of the Motor Vehicle Safety Responsibility Law is the one that exempts insured motor ists from the security require ments, which he explained as fol lows: "It cannot be repeated too often that our Safety Responsibility Law is not a compulsory insurance law. Certainly it is true that the only section of the new law that ap plies to insured motorists is the one requiring reports after an ac cident. But it contains nothing whatever that requires a motor ist to carry insurance under any condition or circumstance. How a motorist meets his financial obli gations after an accident is of no concern to the law, just as long as he meets them." "Neither can it be repeated loo often that 'just any kind ofr insur ance' will not satisfy the security WANT ADS FOR SALE?Parakeets and Can aries. Stovall's 5c & 10c Store.

The only kind of insurance capable of doing that is the kind that covers damage claims arising out of a motor vehicle accident. We have been informed by other states hav ing this same, kind of law that many of their motorists got into hot water because they thought their collision pr fire insurance sufficed; a few even banked on their life insurance. None, of course, would pay off traffic acci dent damage claims brought by, others." "Our new law says, without at tempting to repeat legal terminol ogy, that the security requirements shall not apply to the operator or owner of a motor vehicle under any of the following conditions: To the operator or owner if the owner had in effect at the time of the accident an automobile liability insurance policy with re spect to the car involved. To the operator, if not the own er of the vehicle, if there was in effect at the time of the accident an operator's liability insurance policy or bond with respect to his operator's liability insurance poli cy or bond with respect to his op eration of motor vehicles not own ed by him. To the operator or owner if the liability of such operator or own er for damages resulting from an accident is, in the judgment of the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles, covered by any other form of liability insurance or bond." "The first policy is the kind that is commonly carried by an insur ed owner of a private passenger car. The second is the kind that is carried by persons who drive but do not own motor vehicles. The third applies to forms of liability insurance that are carried only by business and industrial firms. All. it should be noted, protect the public against damages caused by drivers and owners of motor ve hicles."

Handsome Mrs. Lawrence Wood Robert, wife of "Chip" Robert, former treasur er of the Democratic National Committee,'is the only woman I ,know who can wear riding clothes to Washington's elite parties and get away with it. Of course no one looks so well in riding clothes, or wears them with such an air,' as the blond and irrepressible Evie, who since her debutante days has been a headliner in Capital society news. Tall, cool and beautiful, the daughter of a con-1 servative old - line Washington dowager, she has a flair for flaunting the social customs of the town ? and people are amused. She once gave a birthday party for her horse, and of course everybody showed up ? with pres ents yet. She once rode an ele phant in a circus and boasts about being kicked out of every school she ever enrolled in. Now she in sists on having her pertty daughter, Birnie, 14, stay in, and has her tightly enrolled in one of the best and most exclusive schools around here. Evie was one of a group of hon ored ladies sitting at the "celeb rity table" at the weekly fashion luncheon given by Mrs. Gladstone Williams. Others, besides myself included Mme. Munthe de Morgen stierne, wife of the Norwegian am bassador, who is dean of Washing ton's diplomatic corps and Mme. Halvard Lange, wife of the Nor wegian foreign minister, who is chief Norwegian delegate to the UN assembly. It was Mme. Lange's first Ameri can fashion show, and she ob served that it compared favorably with many she has seen in Paris Naither of these stately, very feminine ladies liked the trousered costumes shown for home enter taining, though they both said they I wished they had tiny waistlines like the models. iMe too!) Mme. ' Lange, a gentle blue-eyed aristo crat, is the daughter of Christian Frederik Lange, former president of the Norwegian parliament and one-time Norwegian secretary of defense. She has two sons and a daughter, for whom she hopes to do some Christmas shopping in 1 New York before returning to her homeland. Evie, in her riding clothes, par ticipated in the program, talking mostly of her young daughter's 68.000-mile air trip around the world this summer with her fath er, now an Atlanta consulting en gineer. In fresco painting on wet plas ter, irregular hairline cracks ap pear between the sections as suc cessive areas are filled with plas ter. These are covered with a very durable paint made of cottage cheese, lime and pigment. I ..."
