C V. Henkel To
Seek His Old
N. C Senate Seat
C. V. Henkel of Statesville
and Blowing Rock, who repre
sented the old 25th District for
four terms in the State Senate,
has announced his candidacy for
one' of the two seats in the new
2flth District.
The old district was made up
of Iredell, Catawba and Lincoln
counties. The new district, in
the realignment plan made re
cently by the General Assemb
ly, adds Alexander County to
that group.
Henkel retired from the State
Senate after the 1059 session to
seek the Democratic nomination
for lieutenant governor in
1060. He placed second in a
heated three-way race but de
clined to call for a runoff
against Cloyd Philpott of Lex
ington, the high man.
Henkel is the first candidate
to announce his intention to
seek the Democratic nomination
to one of the two seats allotted
the district. In a statement he
said: “It was a source of great
pleasure and satisfaction to
serve the old 25th North Caro
lina Senatorial District compos
ed of Catawba, Lincoln and Ire
dell counties for four consecu
tive terms, beginning with the
1053 session.
“The legislature has now re
districted the Senate and these
counties again compose a dis
trict, with the addition of Al
exander County.
"Since a flattering number of
people from our new district
have asked me to do so, I have
decided to become a candidate
for a fifth term in the Senate.
“It is my hope that my prior
service has met with the ap
proval of my constituents. I
will be most grateful for their
continued support!”
Henkel is a native of States
ville and a son of the late Col
lumbus Vance and Lila Duna
vant Henkel. He attended
Woodberry Forest School and
the University of North Carolina
and has a general business
background in hotel operation,
textiles and farming.

For
Auto Inspection Are Answered
North Carolina’s new safety
inspection program for autos
becomes effective Feb. 16. R. B,
Parker, an official of the De
partment of Motor Vehicles,
administers the program which
ultimately will assure a clean
mechanical bill of health for
the state’s two and a quarter
million vehicles.
Recently, Mr. Parker was
questioned by a reporter.
Q. Mr. Parker, why is auto
inspection so important? Most
of the wrecks I’ve seen involve
late model cars.
A. North Carolina has, and*ls
constantly improving, an effec
tive program of accident pre
vention. Inspection is an essen.
tial part of any such program,
according to experts who study
and . analyze the facts. It re
moves unsafe vehicles from the
road, persuades owners to keep
their cars in good repair, turns
up potentially dangerous condi
tions, helps prevent the state
from becoming a dumping
ground for relics as many non
inspection states do.
Q. Aren’t many people still
opposed to it?
A. They really shouldn’t be,
not when yon consider that
eventually every motorist whose
car passes may drive assured
that everyone else he meets Will
be driving a safety • approved
car as well.
Q. How is the program set
up?
A. Inspections will be con
ducted through more than 3,000
service stations, dealers and
garages officially licensed by
the state and supervised by of
ficials of the Department of
Motor Vehicles. Such facilities
will display an official emblem,
will inspect your car anytime
during normal business hours,
will issue you an approval
sticker for the windshield or
toll you what’s wrong it your
car fails to pass.
Q. How much does it cost?
A. A standard fee of $1.50.
I And yon won't have to pay it
a(tou if your ear falls and you
retain to the same station for
a re-check within 90 days. Or
yon can make repairs yourself
and have it checked to any ap
proved station you choose.
Q. What will be checked?
A. lights, brakes, the horn,
steering, windshield wiper, di
rectional signals.
Q. Will the Inspectors be
tough?
A. Well, left say all these1
safety Hems must be in good
operating order. They are re
quired to meet certain perform
ance criteria, of course, but
nothing that ordinary mainten
ance doesn’t provide. And if
something else is wrong with
your car, other than these spe
cific Hems, it won’t be turned
town.
• Q. How long-will the inspec
tion take?
. A. I would think about IS to
20 minutes.
Q. How about an example of
a disapproved vehicle?
A. Your windshield wiper
isn’t strong enough to sweep
off rain or snow. That’s a good
case. Or if there is more than
three inches of “free play’’ in
your steering wheel. Headlight
lenses half-mashed by paint or
shields will be turned down.
These are a few of the defects
that can cause trouble.
Q. After Feb. 16, when do I
take my car in for inspection?
A. It will depend on your li
cense tag — if the last number
on your license is three, you go
right away. By the end of March
all vehicles must be checked
and approved. By the end of
April, all cars with last number
four must be inspected and so
on through consecutive months
until Sept. 30, when the nines
wjli have been inspected. Last
digit zero is next, meaning a
checkup for those cars by Oct.
31, then the ones by Nov. 30,
and finally the twos by the end
of the year.
Q. How about trailers—most
they be inspected, too?
A. Owners of trailers which
weigh less than 2,500 pounds
are not affected by the inspec
tion law.
Q. Can I get an inspection
before the advertised period
for my car?
A. Yes.
Q. In other words if you have
two cars you can get them both
inspected at the same time;
Sight?
A. Yes, the main thing is to
remember the deadline and not
let it pass without having your
vehicles checked.
Q. What do you feel will
cause the most rejections?
A. Probably headlights and
tail lights. These items nearly
always head the list of defec
tive parts in auto inspection
programs everywhere. Brakes,
too, are found in need of atten
tion quite frequently.
