Here's a tip worth knowing.
The Highway Patrolmen in
Haywood now have under eonsi.

highways in the near future.
The rherking would he similar
to that used before the checking

I When you meet a funeral pro

K. W. Jones, of the state highway

"Often slopping causes conges-

If the patrolman leading the

All motorists in a funeral pro
cession are supposed to burn head
lights for identification purposes.
Motorists coming up back of a
funeral procession can pass the
entire procession, or a portion, as j
long as safety rules are fully ob
served. Corporal Jones said "How.
ever." he continued, "I hat is not a
general practice, and is not usually
done after a motorist once finds
he is in a funeral procession."
The patrolman warned those in
processions to keep a safe distance
behind the vehicle in front of them, j
and be able lo make a complete
step in the distance, and at the
same time give ample warning to
the car immediately behind.
