Note From DMV
RALEIGH—In an effort to
protect the identity of the
public, the Division of Motor
Vehicles (DMV) of the North
Carolina Department of
Transportation (NCDOT) has
r plemented a change which
came effective November
15th.
According to DMV officials,
license plate identification
information can only be
obtained by written application
and the payment of one dollar.
No longer will this information
be given over the telephone to
any individual or agency with
the exception of law
enforcement agencies, state
agencies on official business,
or firms such as insurance
companies or automobile
dealers who, as paying
subscribers to the DMV
telephone center, use a special
code.
DMV Commissioner R.W.
Wilkins, Jr., said, “This
procedure should hopefully
prevent any future harassment
of citizens. Now, in order to
secure this particular
information, the requestor
must go to a nearby office or
DMV’s central offices in
Raleigh to obtain an
application which requires the
name, address, telephone
number and driver license
number of the requestor. The
requestor must fill out the
application entirely, include a
one-dollar payment and either
mail or take the application to
DMV’s central office at 1100
New Bern Avenue, Raleigh, NC
27697.”

Local Family Teams Up
To Kill Four Deer
in One Week
Brother Roy, Jr., and Ray Buck along with Ray’s son, Allen,
brought in four deer during last week’s hunt. These men are
members of the Wilmar Hunting Club and are residents of
Vanceboro.
Ray got two seven point deer, one weighing 175 pounds and
the other 125 pounds. Ray said this was more than some hunters
expect in a life time.
Roy, Jr., bagged the big prize of the week, an eleven pointer,
155 pounds in weight. Allen, Ray’s son, got an eight pointer
weighing 155 pounds.
When asked if they would be hunting on Monday, Roy said, “No
indeed, we have to go back to work so we can get some rest.
Hunting is really hard work.”
According to Ray they had deer meat packed in all their
refrigerators and freezers. They will share the meat with their
hunting club members.
