First Inspection Lanes To Be Open In East This Week Raleigh ? The Motor Vehicle Mechanical Inspection Program, which was designed to save lives by preventing needless accidents caused by faulty and defective equipment on vehicles, will get underway on January 12 with the opening of lanes in five North Carolina cities ? Raleigh. Durham, Elizabeth City, Greenville, and Wilmington. One week later on Jan. 19. six additional lanes will open in Greensboro, High Point, Charlott, Winston-Salem, Fayetteville. and Gastonia. Suitable property has been ob tained in these cities for setting up the inspection lanes, and all the testing equipment will be installed by the opening dates. Officials of the Department of Motor Vehicles, which will admini ster the Inspection Program, are urging all motorists in these areas to take their cars in for inspection as soon as the lanes are opened.

The" Inspection Law is a part of ihe Highway Safety Act passed by the 1947 General Assembly. It re quires that all motor vehicles reg istered in North Carolina must be inspected once during 1948 and twice a year thereafter. Motor Vehicles include cars, trucks, trailers, semi-trailers, motorcycles, and motor bikes. The program provides for the establishing of 40 lanes through out the State, four of which will serve as emergency or replacement units. Opening dates for all lanes have not yet been announced, and i* is not presently known how long those opening on the 12th and 19th will remain in operation in their announced localities. The law pro vides that the lanes will be mov? d from place to place in order to reach all vehicle owners, and sometime during the year, a lan.' will be sure to come near your town Meat production under Federal inspection for the week ended December 27, totaled 248 million pounds, according to the U.

Laundering Short-Cuts Told By Miss Current By RLTH CURRENT State Home Demonstration Agent Sprinkled clothes will dampen more evenly if they are folded rather than rolled. Wrap clothes in a rubber sheet, if you have one. When you are dampening clothes you may use a discarded strip of oil cloth over a table or ironing board. Tim'1 may be saved in sorting clothes if colored clothes could be placed in one hamper or bar; and white clothes in one. A small bag for soiled handkerchiefs would also be a real help. When ironing, fasten a safety or straight pin to the places that need mending on the clothes. This saves time in finding the pot when the mending time comes along. If handkerchiefs are washed in a bag (which can be made from ?wo knit washcloths' much time is saved and inconvenience avoided. They will go through the wringer without any trouble. To keep clothes pins from freez ing to your clothes boil pins in strong salt water ? usually once will be enough. Don't stoop for your clothes pins. Make a slide-along bag of heavy material and sew on a coat banger. Slide the bag along on the line when hanging up clothes. Never overload your washing machine; overloading is hard cn clothes and on the washer. To wash pockets easily, keep a email stiff brush near the laundry tubs. Before putting any garment with pockets into the wash, turn the pockets inside out and brush thoroughly. This same brush will help in removing stubborn so? I on neckbands, collars, and cuffs. It's easier than rubbing and you will get better results.
