SECTION TWO— Three Automobile Dealers In Edenton Give Free Inspection Join In 1954 Voluntary Vehicle Safety Check Campaign Three automobile dealers in Eden ton are now offering free inspections of automobiles and trucks as part of the Carolina Safety Leagues 1954 Voluntary Vehicle Safety Check cam paign. , , These dealers have qualified as ol ficial inspection stations and are au thorized to display the red-and-white inspection station emblem in their windows. Vehicles which are found safe, or are made safe, are being awarded the green windshield sticker which signi fies thev are “approved.” These stickers have the approval, and carry the signature of State Com missioner of Motor Vehicles Edward Scheidt. The movement also has the endorsement, “personal and official,” of Governor Umstead whose big black limousine, which carries North Caro- j lina License No. 1, was among the i first to be awarded the sticker after j minor repairs had been made. The new mechanical safety cam paign is on a strictly voluntary basis. I No law requires a motorist to carry the sticker on the windshield of his car—Though there has been some un official intimation that in the case of an accident the sticker would be a help. The dealerships which have been designated as official inspection sta tions have agreed to give free check ups in accordance with an approved manual. They are checking brakes, lights, glazing, steering, tires, wind shield wipers and horns —an inspec tion which Commissioner Scheidt has termed as “simple but effective.” The dealerships which have become in spection stations have agreed to make no repairs except on the order of the j car owner; and to show the owner the| existing defects, if his car is not ap proved and the sticker affixed. Each sticker carries the date of inspection < and the signature of the inspector. North Carolina’s new voluntary ap proach to the problem of mechanical inspection has attracted nation-wide attention in the automobile industry and among leaders in the field of traf fic safety. The campaign was launch ed by the Carolina Safety League, an organization formed by firms and in dividuals in the automotive and allied PONTIAC DELUXE $1195 EXTRA SPECIALS FOR THIS WEEK ’49 Ford, 2 dr.

Even if his car is found unsafe, the owner finds it out at no cost. After that he can have it fixed, and approv ed, or do nothing—just as he pleases.” The dealerships in Edenton which have been designated official inspec tion stations and authorized to affix stickers on approved cars, are: 8.8.
