Various Letters Used

I More Than Million Li
ft censed'Expected to Be
Issued In 1951
Do yon know your alphabet from B
to Z? That’s the range of alphabet
ical prefixes motor vehicle planners
will use for the more than a million
license tags to be issued in this State
for 1)51, the North Carolina Depart
ment of Motor Vehicles say.
N« ie of the letters is new this year
althot gh several were used last year
for ti ie first time. When the regis
tration figure passed the million mark
last year the W came into use on
plates\for passenger cars, since only
six nuitoerals will go on the standard
size pTate. R was used when the 1,-
100,000 mark was passed. The Z is
another year-old letter. It is uaed on
all passenger car trailers. P, standing
for public-owned, has been used for a
number of years, however, for the first
LI time last year, the silver tags with
rK black letters and numerals were is
llf sued to between 20,000 and 25,000
i V public cars and trucks for the life of
Li the vehicles.
mkL, The National Guard tag is a revival,
If of.a pre-war custom. Special plates,
jli'went to Guard officers in 1937 and
5 were discontinued when the war be- j
gan. Approximately 720 were in use
during 1950. |
Some of the old letters are B for|
bus for hire, S for contract carrier,
truck, F for common carrier truck, EX,
for common carrier trailer, K for con-1
tract carrier, J for the Supreme Court
justices, H for the Highway Commis- j
sion, M for manufacturer and T for
passenger for hire. j
Highway Patrol tags will be chang-1
ed this year. Plans for 1951 call for
an R, plus a series of 500 numbers t
beginning with 8100 for Col. James R. |
Smith.
Several factors, such as rank, pro- 1
tocol and seniority, enter into the is-,
suance of the low-numbered official
plates.
As in the past, Governor W. Kerr
Scott will take No. 1 and Lt. Gov. H.
Pat Taylor of Wadesboro will receive
No. 2. The Speaker of the House,
I still undecided, will get No. 3.

NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS
Once more, New Year’s resolutions,
time has rolled ’round. With the best
of infamtiona, people all over the coun
try ape making another new start to
ward good habits.
Among those who actually make a
' list of their good intentions, many will
be surprised to note how some of their
resolutions directly concern their own
health, whether they consider them
selves “health conscious” or not.
Many of us will resolve to get to
bed earlier, cut down on drinking or
smoking, or get weight back to nor
mal by exercise and proper diet.
Peirhaps this is evidence of self
preservation. The average person re
alizes that he may not have much
time to enjoy the good filings of this
.life If he literally shortens his own
life by unhealthful living.
Besides, full enjoyment of the good
things of life is impossible without

CARD OF THANKS
I desire herewith to express my
sincere thanks and deepest gratitude!
to each and everyone who in any way
helped in trying to control the fire
which destroyed my house on Sunday
night, December 17. I am profound
ly grateful to the Edenton Fire De
partment and the loyal friends who
helped to save my outbuildings. With
out such valiant help on the part of
friends and neighbors, all of my out
buildings would have been a total loss.
Again let me say “Thank You.”

what you pay, you’ll make this discovery.
On a pounds-per-dollar basis—which is the
engineers' yardstick of bedrock value —no
other cars of comparable dimensions can beat
a Buick Special, Super or Roadmaster.
Or to be more specific—Buick’s straight-eight
Special is priced like a six and in the
Roadmaster “price class” you can pay 23%
or more than you’ll pay for these great
automobiles. „
But note this fact: Our supply of these bar
gains is limited—so you’d better come in now
and see what we have on hand.
