FVror Month EDITORIAL LIABILITY INSURANCE FOR 1953 As you perhaps know the state's Vehicle Re sponsibility Act becomes effective January 1.-Much has been said and published concerning the new, Act but there are many who still don't understand its. im portance. In order, to familiarize car owners, with the new law, the Department of Motor .Vehicles, Ra leigh, has prepared the following questions and answers concerning the Act which we believe will be helpful to our readers in better understanding what the 1958 Vehicle Responsibility Act is: QUESTION: Must every North Carolina automo bile owner have liability insurance to secure his 1958 license plate? ANSWER: Almost every one will have to take out automobile liability insurance. The only excep tion, are those willing and able to post $11,000 in cash, or a $15,000 surety bond, the operators of fleets of 25 or more vehicles, and Federal, state and local government officials. i Q : Is my insurance policy all I need when I go to get my license plate? A: Absolutely not! When you buy your license plate over the counter, or when you write for it, you do not need the policy but you MUST have your "Form FS-1." Without the form you can't get your license. Q : What is this Form FS-1 ? A: Form FS-1 is a canary yellow colored certi . ficate of insurance 3V6"x6" in size which is is sued the liability insurance policyholder by his in surance company. Q : When will I receive my Form FS-1 ? A: Insurance companies are supposed to mail these certificates to their policyholders in North Car olina before January 1. If you already carry insur ance and do not. receive your certificate by the end of the year, write for it. If you buy a policy just be fore purchasing your license plate, make sure the company furnishes you with the certificate. Q: What kind of insurance is required? A: An owner's liability policy which provides in surance for damages to persons or to property caused -by your motor vehicle and for which you are legally obligated to pay. Collision surance, covering damages to not meet the requirement of iU: now mucn insurance A, The minimum policy for the bodily injury or death for the bodily injury or death of two or more per sons, and $5,000 for damage to property. J: Where can such insurance be obtained? A: Through insurance companies and insurance agents licensed to do business in North Carolina. If you do not have insurance, you should make your own arrangements immediately, as- it will take some time for insurance companies to process applications. Q: Can every automobile owner buy this insur ance?., v ' . '' V A: Yes. There is a special part of the new law called "the assigned risk plan" which makes it pos- -eible for those hitherto unable to obtain liability in surance to get it after January 1." ' Q : How much will it cost? - 'A: The cost of your policy depends upon a num ber of things, including your driving record, the num er and ages of the people who drive your car, your place of residence and your occupation.' For those with a bad accident record who. must secure their in-, i ... surance under the assigned risk' plan,' the cost wilt be more than the cost to drivers with safe records. . Q: What happens if my insurance lapses, or is cancelled? ' ..,..'...,.-. . ' i A: If there is a lapse in your insurance by can- ( cellation of your policy or your failure to renew it, the law says (1) that the insurance company must ; notify the State Department of "Motor Vehicles and -. (2) you must immediately surrender your motor ve- . hide license plate and registration certificate. .' Q: Is there any notice of cancellation? -A: Yes, your insurance company must give f if- . teen days notice of termination of your policy. The ' 1 company also must notify the Department of Motor ; Vehicles if your policy is terminated for any reason i . wL-tsoever. You then must purchase new insurance cr f :rreK f ?r your license plate.

'. s Many anxious months passed, then news was brought that Zeb had been badly wounded in battle and taken to a field hospital. His right arm and shoulder were shattered, and it was necessary to amputate his arm. The wound proved to be so deep that the upp er portion of his body and one lung were involved, and with every breath the young soldier drew blood seeped from the injured lung and bubbled from the open wound in his. shoulder. His condition was so serious and his recovery uncertain that the army doctors,1 beleiving that his early death was inevitable, gave Zeb an honorable discharge from service, and sent him home, to die. But Zeb Morris was the kind of man who simply refused to die! Getting back to his family and his home seemed to renew his strengh and courage, and added to his de termination to live. His wife and childern , faithfluly nursed and cared for him, and the wounded man began to improve. With characteristic courage, Morris continued to fight his battle with threatened death, for he was de termined that he would not be come an invalid, and a burden to his young family. A the months passed Zeb Morris trained strength. ,'';;': Fall of the year came and the erode, . one-room ' school . opened.
