RALEIGH. -Safety experts say
that one out of every five cars
has defective lighting equip
ment.
The importance of good head
lights for the prevention of ac
cidents is emphasized by the
fact that in 1946, 550 fatal ac
cidents and 12,340 non-fatals In
the United States were caused
by either glaring headlights or
cases where the headlights were
missing or too dim.
When you take your car or
truck to one of the state's 40
mw hsntoal inspection Una* thli
year (or lta "physical check-up",
certain headlight requirements
must be met ? or the car will be
disapproved.
The Manual of Motor Vehicle
mechanical Inspection require
ments has this to say about
headlights:
"All motor vehicles shall be
equipped with two headlights,
the assemblies of which shall be
of an approved type and in good
working order Each headlight
shall be capable of producing at
least 3,750 apparent beam can
dlepower on the high or driv
ing beam.
"On symetrical, multiple beam
headlights, the highest, or driv
ing beam, of each headlight
shall be so aimed that the cent
er of the high intensity portion
shall not be above headlight
center level nor more than seven
inches below same at a distance

In the spring a housewife's fancy rightly turns to thoughts
of cleaning. But she still can't neglect thoughts of food for
her brood. Below ? some of mine:
LIGHTNING LUNCH
When hungry small fry come tear
ing into the house just as you're in
the midst of tearing it apart,
split, toast, and butter as many
MARVEL SANDWICH ROLLS
as they can eat
AAP'sdelieious,
oven-fresh rolls
as my youngsters
arel) . . . spread
?with peanut butter, jelly or cheese
. . . and Bound roll call I P. S.
Here's another hunch for lunch:
MARVEL SANDWICH ROLLS
with chopped round steak. They
make a hamburger heaven 1
SPEEDY SUPPER
Do yon have to hustle to rustle up
supper on cleaning day? Serve
A&P'S ANN PAGE PREPARED
SPAGHETTI in its own tasty to
mato and cheese sauce. Or combine
a can of it with a cup of sliced
onions saut?ed in fat; pile into
lengthwise halves of green peppers
(boiled 5 mins. in salted water);
place in shallow baking dish with a
little water, and bake in moderate
oven, 375? F., 25 mins. Serves 4. ?
LINOLEUM LOW-DOWN
If "water, water everywhere" is
your spring-cleaning slogan, re
member : Linoleum, like small boys,
doesn't take kindly to too much
water. Wash it with as little as
possible, working on a small area
at a time. When dry, apply
BRIGHT SAIL LIQUID WAX,
which requires no rubbing or
polishing. Youll take a shine to it
and to all AAP's BRIGHT SAIL
cleaning aids!
FISH FLASH
For an extra-easy dish, choose
fillets of fish! And for an extra
flavorful fillet, fill it I Like this:
Wipe 1 lb. of fillets with damp
cloth. Melt 1 tbsp. shortening. Add
onion (diced), .. . _
% green pepper
(diced) , and saut<
5 mins. Add 1 tsp.
Worcestershire
sauce and a 27

The headlight requirements
doubtless seem very complicated
to the average layman. But
when you take your car for its
inspection test, a testing appa
ratus will be able to tell in a
few seconds whether your lights
are capable of being approved.
But to make sure that they
will meet requirements at the
state inspection, the Motor Ve
hicles department is urging you
to have a mechanic give them
a prior check-up. Most garages
will give you a free inspection.
Motorbikes And
Scooters Must Be
Inspected, Too
The State Motor Vehicles De
partment has announced today
that the new Inspection law re
quires that trailers, motorcycles,
scooters, and motorbikes be in
spected along with all automo
biles and trucks in the state.
Arthur T. Moore, chief of the
Mechanical Inspection Division,
said that since the law requires
that these vehicles be registered,
it also requires that they be in
spected for safe mechanical con
dition.
There is a provision, however,
that farm trailers of less than
2,500 pounds gross weight will
be inspected free of charge.

' Better Hurry
If Your Surname Begins
With C Or D
If you're one of the 150,000
| drivers In the state with a sur
name beginning with C or D.
you'd better get busy, according
to Robert V. Hooper, who comes
here Wednesday and Thursdays
to give driver's license tests.
The Motor Vehicle department
reports that comparatively few
C and D drivers have taken
their new drivers' test, and
they have only from now until
June 30 to take it. After that
date, the law steps in, any per
son, whose last name begins
with C or D, caught driving on
an old license after that date,
will be charged with a "misde
meanor, subject to a fine of
not less than $25
Department officials statec'
that C and D drivers have had
i ample time to report for their
new licenses, as their period
[ began on January 1, but that
most of them have consistently
| put of! the task.
Now they risk running into
long lines of applicants at the
license examining station, for
June30, in addition to being the
deadline for C and D drivers,
is also the deadline for the re
newal of chauffeurs' licenses,
which will mean a double load
at examining stations.
The department urged all C
and D drivers to take a new |
examination immediately in
compliance with the highway
safety act, passed by the last
legislature. The examination is
in four parts: A highway sign
test; a road rules test; a vision
test; and an actual driving test.
Mr. Hooper can be found,
Wednesdays and Thursdays, at
the clerk of the court's office.
