r / ANGLEA GODWIN, an employee of the North Carolina Department of Transporta tion's Motor Vehicles Division in Raleigh, prepares to mail 1980 vehicle registration renewal notices. The Motor Vehicles Division mailed over 4.5 million renewal cards last week to the state's vehicle owners. Sales of 1980 validation stickers and license plates begin Jan. 2. The 1980 stickers or tags must be displayed no later than midnight Feb. 15. Registration (Continued from Page 1) Peters said it will take 10 days to two weeks for owners to receive a card after notification to the division. He said many cards which cannot be delivered by the postal service will be forward ed to local license plate agen cies. "Owners may be able to pick up their cards at the local agency," he said. Instructions on how to pur chase the stickers or tags through the mail or in person at local agencies are contain ed in an informational folder which accompanies the renewal cards. In both in stances, Peters said, owners should remember to certify their insurance coverage by signing the card and make necessary address corrections on both sections of the card. The motor vehicles commis sioner said validation stickers will be used to renew the registration of the following types of vehicles: private passenger automobiles, 4,000-pound truck, motor cycles, trailers and rental or leased automobiles. All other vehicles will receive license plates. The 1980 validation sticker will be black and white. It should be placed in the upper right hand corner of the owner's current license plate on top of the 1979 sticker. "Care should be taken to place the validation sticker on your license plate according to the instructions," Peters said. "Once in place, the stickers cannot be satisfactorily removed." The license plate agency for Madison County is run by Ver non Ramsey on the Marshall Bypass. The mailing address is P.O. Box 464, Marshall, and the phone number is 649-2330.

Federal Investigators Ask Shutdown Of Erwin Plant Federal investigators have recommended lifting the license of a Tennessee nuclear fuel plant after they were unable to account for at least 20 pounds of highly enriched uranium missing at the plant, government sources said Sun day. Officials at the Nuclear Fuel Services plant in Erwin, Tenn., told the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in mid-September that a quanti ty of highly enriched uranium large enough to make at least one atomic bomb could not be accounted for in its August in ventory NRC investigators quickly began to examine the plant's accounting system. But NRC sources said Sunday although the inventory gap has been narrowed there is still no ex planation for at least 20 pounds of uranium being miss ing. ' There is no evidence of theft or diversion. We just don't know where it is in the system," one agency source said He asked not to be iden tified by name The sources said that at a closed NRC commission meeting Dec. 14 the agency's Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards recom mended that the license for the Erwin plant be revoked. The uranium processing plant is one of 11 commercial operations in the United States licensed to handle amounts of uranium and plutonium large enough to produce an atomic bomb. The facility, owned by the Nuclear Fuel Services Corp., a subsidiary of the Getty Oil Co., processes uranium for the Navy's reactors. There has been increasing concern both in and outside the NRC during the past year about accounting practices at such plants. The Erwin plant has been criticized in the past as failing to meet government re quirements for keeping track of uranium. During the past 10 years, it has been ordered closed for re-inventory at least a half dozen times because of uranium accounting pro blems. NRC regulations require that a plant be closed for a new inventory if at least 20 pounds of uranium cannot be accounted for.

MAIN ST., MARSHALL DEALER NO. 2456 Survey Says North Carolinans Want Education, Help For Seniors North Carolinians want the state to place continued em phasis on reading and basic skills in the public schools and on programs to improve the quality of life for older adults Citizens do not want any new state programs which would result in increased costs to taxpayers. These are among the ideas and opinions voiced during a series of citizen hearings con ducted by the state Goals and Policy Board this fall and scheduled by over 1,600 North Carolinians. According to Arthur Cassell of Greensboro, vice chairman of the Goals and Policy Board, citizens also indicated during the hearings that they strong ly favor development of a long-range, comprehensive plan for controlling hazardous wastes in the state and favor measures to further reduce North Carolina's rate of infant mortality. "The viewpoints voiced at these seven hearings also indicated favor with alternatives to imprisonment such as repayment and com munity service, but only for first offenders," said Cassell. The citizens voiced opposi tion to any proposals which in cluded the words 'committee' or 'study,' "especially where additional appropriations would have been required," Cassell added. The hearings were held from Sept. 18 through Oct. 10 in Raleigh, Roper, Jackson ville, Charlotte, High Point, Wilkesboro and Cullowhee. In addition, the board mail ed out copies of a booklet call ed "Topics for Discussion" which outlined the board's proposed recommendations in areas such as welfare, alter natives to imprisonment, health care, voter participa tion, and hazardous wastes control. Cassell said that ap proximately 600 citizens returned the booklets with their written comments on the proposed recommendations. "We were extremely pleas ed with the quality of par ticipation from citizens in all areas of the state," Cassell said. "Not only did they res pond to our proposed recom mendations, but they presented several new ideas and issues. "For instance, we found out that a burning concern of many North Carolinians at the present time is housing. A and handicapped or very low income ? particularly substandard housing," Cassell reported. "With this in mind, he add ed, "the state Goals and Policy Board will probably choose to make housing a ma jor topic of discussion for l<?n " Cassell also noted that citizens had suggested several areas that need to be con sidered under the umbrella of the state's Balanced Growth Policy, including preservation of the environment, conserva number of citizens advocated the state taking a more active role in areas such as rent abuse, housing for the elderly, Truckers To Secure Loads Truckers are requested to properly secure their cargo before traveling on the state's highways. State Highway Patrol Commander John T. Jenkins has asked troopers to diligently enforce load securi ty laws because his office has received numerous com plaints of near accidents caus ed by objects falling from trucks. According to Jenkins, "reports have come in of gravel falling from passing trucks and cracking wind shields, a particularly dangerous situation." He reminded drivers that trucks hauling rock, gravel, stone, or similar substances are re quired to be loaded or secured so as to prevent the load from dropping, shifting, leaking. tion of energy, preservation of farm land, and better management of our land resources. The Goals and Policy Board will meet Jan. 9 in Greensboro to make final decisions on recommendations to be in cluded in an annual report to Gov. Jim Hunt, who serves as chairman of the board. Copies of the report will be available to the public in February. DISCOUNT MONUMENT CENTER TWO LOCATIONS: BURNSVILLE HIGHWAY 19 NEAR MARS HILL. N. C. PO BOX 430 . .
