Motor Vehicle
Auto Inspection Law
(This is one of a series uf
the motoring public with
articles designed to acquaint
the requirements of the
Motor Vehicle Inspection '
program).
RALEIGH. ? Statistics show
that one out of every five ve
hicles has some mechanical de
fect such as poor tires, faulty
brakes, lights, wheel alignment
or steering mechanism.
And one of the mast impor
tant and most serious is bad
tires. Are the tires on your car
or truck worn so thin that a
sharp curve or stone on the
road would send you careening
into a traffic tragedy? If they
are, then you would do well to
have them recapped or discard
them for new ones, not only
for your own safety, but to in
sure that your vehicle will pass
its inspection test.
The Manual of Motor Vehicle
Mechanical Inspection require
ments states that all motor ve
hicle tires "shall be free from
any exposed fabric or bulges
which indicate broken fabric or
which exhibit dangerously weak
ened conditions".
in laio, ozu iat-ai acciaenis
and 9,240 non-fatal accidents
in the United States were caus
ed by punctures and blowouts
alone, demonstrating the im
portance of keeping tires in
good condition at all times. It
is believed by Motor Vehicle de
partment officials that tires are
an eVen greater factor in acci
dents than is generally report
ed, for often when the investi
gating officer lists "drove off
roadway" as the principal cause
of an accident, it is logical to
assume that, with perfect tires,
brakes, and steering mechanism,
the accident might not have
happened.
Help prepare your car for its
inspection check-up by having
the tires in good condition be
fore you report to the state in
spection lane in your area.
Doctors Use Ice
Cream Instead
Of Knife
Ice cream is something more
than a nutritious food? now,
says the National Dairy council,
it is being used as an aid in
preventing surgery.
That is, in the case of swal
lowed pins.
The Dairy council reports
that St. Joseph hospital, in El
gin, 111., has just sent home its
third child, in 30 days, after
the successful use of a novel
non-operative treatment.
Each child had swallowed an
open safety pin.
Staff doctors didn't operate.
Instead, they simply fed each
of the children small balls of
cotton covered with ice cream.
A dish of ice cream and Cotton
every two hours.
These cotton balls went d6wn
easily. In the stomach, the cot
ton matted itself around and
over the pin, point and all. The
pin was eliminated without any

Injury to the child
"That", reports the Dairy
council, "was the only way the
doctors could get the children
to take the cotton. As a mat
ter of fact, they liked It, In ice
cream."
The first cotton mill In North
Carolina was built at Lincoln
ton, N. C. in 181S? the begin
ning of the development of the
cotton mills industry in a state
that now has more active
spindles than any other.
Loom houses, built by early
colonial plantation owners In
the 8outh who employed their
neighbors at spinning and
weaving cloth, were the fore
runners ol today's modern cot
ton mills.
