Unless, of course, you're close enough to read the nunie-i of the states. Both will have black letters on an orange background. Sou'.h Carolinu'--new plates already in usu and the North Carolina plates will be on sale from Jan. 2 to Fob. 15. , In both states the state highway officials pick any colors they want for the licenses. The duplication is just a coincidence. I guess it had to happen some time," said Jim Inabinette of the South Carolina higihway department. The comment of North Carolina's Bill Crowell in Raleigh, when a re porter mentioned it to him: "No!" North Carolina licenses formerly were sold Dec. 1 to Jan. 81. The new sales period is but one of this year's changes. There will be a new .numbering system, combining letter and fig' ores, to replace the old six-numeral ltalit. , The tags will be C by 12 inches, compared with thu old size bf 8 by just ovef 11 inches. The bigger plates will ave room for "North, Carolina" spelled out rather than abbreviated, along with the Drive Safely" slogan.
