NINE INSPECTORS ISSUING LICENSES Uniformed Men Assisting State Patrolmen in Driv vers’ Tests lmlly Dispatch Ilurea*, In the Sir Walter Hotel. By J. O. BASKERVILI, Raleigh, May 10—Nine uniformed drivers’' 7 license inspectors are assist i „ t he State highway patrol in ex amining applicants for drivers’ li- J n9 es and in issuing applications, so that patrolmen may spend more time on the roads in actual patrol duty, it was announced here today by Direc tor Fulk of the highway safety divi sion of the Department of Revenuq. Xhese inspectors wear uniforms simi lar to those worn by highway patrol men, including Sam Brown belts. They do not wear the military breech es and boots, however. These inspectors have their nead quarters in the eight highway patrol division offices, spend part of their time in these offices and part of it vj s iting different cities and towns in the divisions giving examinations to applicants for drivers’ licenses. Two inspectors have been assigned to the Charlotte office and one each to the offices in Rocky Mount, Raleigh, Dur ham, Asheville, Winston - Salem, Greensboro and Kinston. They are employes of the highway safety divi sion rather than of the patrol, but co operate with the patrol in the exam ining of applicants for drivers’ li censes. "So much of the time of patrolmen The MorninS AflerTaking Carter!

For Bly*-TTlljuy ::: Henderson Furniture Co. was being taken up in the examina tion of applicants for drivers licenses that it was thought advisable to put on some men who would devote their entire time to examining applicants and thus release the patrolmen for more patrol work,” Fulk said. The plan has worked out very well, with the exception that we really need more of these, inspectors and examin ers. Their only duties are to examine applicants for licenses and send in their reports with the application sub mitted. They have full authority to recommend that licenses be refused, in which case we decline to issue li censes. So far this year we have re fused to issue licenses to 2,835 appli cants and are turning more down every week for defective eyesight, poor hearing and even for defective intelligence. “We are also issuing limited driv ers licenses to some persons, on con dition they only drive in the day time, or only when wearing glasses. We aie confident this procedure will re duce accidents.” MOTORIST VANDALS CONSERVE FLOWERS Have Greater Conscience In Respect for Law On Roadside Flora Hally' Dispatch Rarcna, In the Sir Waller Hotel. By J. C. It ASKER VI LI, Raleigh, May 10 —The annual ap peals to motorists to preserve the wildflowers and plant life along North Carolina’s highways seem to be hav ing weight this spring, J. S. Holmes, State forester, said today. “Although there are still evidences of raids upon dogwood, red-bud, and other trees and flowers at the spring season, the persons responsible appear satisfied with several branches, or flowers, and seldom load their cars down as was the practice several years ago,” Mr. Holmes declared. “It is probable that several factors are responsible for this move toward conservation. During the past few years there has been a tremendous amount of publicity attached to many phases of conservation. There is hard ly a community in the State that has not come into direct contact with some form of State or Federal con servation work. Because of this pub licity and work, it is reasonable to as more than 25 years people have found “DC” to be of gratifying value in the relief of headache, neuralgia and muscular aches; pain and discomfort due to. simple head colds, simple ner vousness and for headache and back ache due to functional disturbances.

The laymen of the South, under the leadership of Dr. J. T. Henderson, Knoxville, and Lawson H. Cooke, Memphis, will hold a rally in the au ditorium of the Roosevelt Hotel all day Wednesday and a pre-convention pastors’ conference under the direc tion of Dr. M. E. Dodd, Shreveport, a former president of the Convention, will be held at the historic First Pres byterian Church at the same time. According to the advance reports from all the agencies of the Conven tion which have been received at the Baptist headquarters in Nashville, marked progress has been made along practically every line.
