Motor Vehicle :i Auto Inspection Law1 (This is one of a series ?f the motoring public with articles designed to acquaint the requirements of the Motor Vehicle Inspection program). RALEIGH Have you ever fac ed a single onrushing headlight and uneasily wondered whether the approaching vehicle was a motorcycle or an automobile with one headlight not working? Have you ever tried to drive at night with your own lights so dim you could hardly see the road before you? Then you know how important good lights are to the safety of night driving. "When the Motor Vehicle Me- ' chanical Inspection lane opens j in your area sometime in the near future, your vehicle must be able to meet certain specific requirements as far as lighting equipment is concerned. There are specifications for tail lights, stop lights, parking lights, passing lights, and auxi liary lights, which are given here. Requirements lor head lights will be given in another article. The Manual on Motor Ve hicle Inspection Requirements lists these minimum standards which all motor vehicles must' meet in order to be approved: TAIL LIOHTS: "All motor ve hicles originally equipped with approved tail light or lights may not in this respect be altered Such- light, or lights, when light ed must exhibit a red light, plainly visible for a distance of not less than 500 feet to the rear." Don't worry if your car was originally built with only one tail light. It will still pass the test if that one is in good safe condition and is visible for 500 feet to the rear. But if the ve hicle was originally equipped with two, then both of them must be operating. STOP LIGHTS: "AH motor ve hicles originally equipped with approved stop lights must not in this respect be altered. Such light, or lights, shall present a red signal upon application of the foot brake, plainly visible from a distance of not less han 500 feet to the rear." Note that this requirement Joes not state that all vehicles must have stop lights, but it does say that if the car was originally built with them, they must still be in good working order. PARKING LIGHTS: "All mo tor vehicles shall be equipped 'vith parking lights capable of presenting one or more white iights at the front and one or i wo red lights at the rear, all of which shall be visible from a distance of io? less than 500 ipet All motor vehicles original ly equipped wit a dual Iront or tear parking lights may not in this respect be altered ' PASSING LIGHTS: ' All motor vehicles originally equipped with a means for dimming or de pressing headlight beams may not in this respect be altered and such device shall be In good working order." AUXILIARY LIGHTS: "All motor vehicles may be equipped with not to exceed two auxili ary driving lights mounted on the front and must be aimed in such a manner that no part of the high intensity portion of the beam shall be directed to the left of the extreme left side of nor more than 75 feet ahead of the vehicle. The center of the high intensity beam shall not be higher than 8 inches below lamp center at 25 feet." Auxiliary lights, naturally, are not required. But if your ve hicle is equipped with them, they must measure up to the stated specifications. And no ve hicle is allowed to have more than two. Any or all unauthor ized lights or warning devices shall be removed before the ve hicle will be approved.

C< Board Cites Regulations Of Cemetery The board of trustees of the Franklin Cemetery association this week called to the atten tion of the owners of lots in Woodlawn cemetery here certain regulations of the association. The trustees' statement, sign ed by Gilmer A. Jones as chair man, follows: To the members of Franklin Cemetery association: All persons owning lots in Woodlawn cemetery are mem bers of this association. If each member will look at his or her deed they will find the following stipulation: "It is understood and agreed by the parties hereto that the land above conveyed is to be used for cemetery purposes only, and in accordance with the regulations from time to time prescribed by said Frank lin Cemetery association." Among the most important of these regulations are the fol lowing: "No member shall place any marker or otherwise obstruct the walkway adjoining his lot." "No mounds shall be made on any lot, but the same shall be kept level so as to facilitate mowing, and no shrubs, trees or flowers may be planted on any part of the cemetery except in plots set aside ' for that pur pose." ' The strict observance of thest regulations will greatly facili tate the upkeep of the cemetery grounds. The attention of the public has heretofore been called to the fact that the association has recently purchased 13 acres adjoining the original tract. The association still lacks $1,900 o having this tract paid for. There will be little, if any, funds available for general upkeep un til this debt is cleared. Of course, any contribution made for the purpose of general main tenance will be used for the express purpose for which it is given.
