What Yon Should Know To Obtain
A Driver’s License In North Carolina
This is the; first of four ar
ticles of “What You Should
Know in Order to Obtain a
Driver’s License in North Caro
lina.’’
To inform motorists what they
mow in order to obtain a driver’s
‘cense in North Carolina, Cole
nan W. Roberts, -president of the
mrolina Motor club, has had four
imely articles prepared using the
river Manual issued by the
'ghway safety division of the
orth Carolina Department of
rotor Vehicles as a reference
guide
These articles concern, “Gen
®raI j Information and the Eye
est,” “Road Sign Test,” “Road
ules Test,” and “Practical Driv
lng Test.” "When you apply for
your examination, you should have
? car in which to take the test,
ave somebody who is a licensed
river with you if you are apply
ng for the first time, have the fee
0 Pay for your license and be
amiliar with driving rules and
are driving practices.
You want to be able to drive
walk on the Highway without'
ear of being injured or killed by
another driver. One of the means
y which the state provides safety
°r you and your family is the
orivef license law. This law
8‘ves you the privilege'of driving
*n North Carolina only as long
s you drive safely and obey the
ules and regulations. When you
come unsafe or break the driv
|og laws of the state then your
Privilege may be taken away or
Upended.”
To be eligible for a driver’s li
ense in North Carolina you
ust be at least 16 years old. Ap
plication for a license for a per
il under 1# years of age must
if countersigned by a parent,
suardian or employee. You may
PPly for a license at one of the
department of Motor Vehicle ex
animation stations.
The two types of driver’s license
obtainable are operator and chaf
feur. Chauffeur’s licenses must
be renewed on July 1 of each year
and a person must be 18 years of
age to procure one and must be
21 years old to drive a public
passenger-carrying vehicle. Fee
for both operator’s and chauffeur’s
license is $2.00 for the original and
.50 for a duplicate. The opera
tor’s license is effective for four
years. *
A person who drives a road
roller or road machinery, a farm
tractor or farm machinery if it is
only being moved from one job to
another does not need a license
of any kind. It is possible to ob
tain an instruction permit from an
examiner, which is good for 30
days, but you must be accom
panied by a licensed driver sitting
in the Seat beside you while you
are learning to drive. This per
mit may be extended more than a
month if necessary.
Driver’s licenses must be car
ried always while driving and you
must show your, license to any
law enforcement official who asks
to see it, also to any person in
volved in an accident with you if
he requests to see the license.
Restricted licenses can be is
i sued to those persons needing spe
cial equipment to drive. To keep
your license up to date, any
change of name or address should
be sent to the Department of
Motor Vehicles.
Out-of-state drivers may use
their home state license for a pe
riod of not more than 90 days in
North Carolina providing the
motor vehicles is duly registered
in the home state. You must first
be licensed in this state before
accepting chauffeur’s job in North
Carolina. . _. . ,

Feed Price
Reduction
Not Expected
All- hope for cheap livestock and
poultry feeds-in the ensuing year,
has -vanished, according to As-*
siMartt State Agtictilture Commis
sioner D. S. CJonrane.
Feed will be -^otnewhat hard to
get” and prices will be high, he
reported.
North Carolina farmers must
have more and better pastures and
must produce more hay, corn and
small grains if this is to become
a livestock state, Coltrane said.
Pointing out that North Caro
lina now imports about three
fourths of the feed concentrates
used in, this state, he declared:
“Our farmers cannot buy so
touch feed for livestock and ,poul
try and compete with their farm
er friends in the middle west who
are producing their own feed.”
Producers of beef, r ork, milk,
poultry and eggs are anfronted,
Coltrane said, “with tto now all
too-familiar task of trying to
make profits with high-priced
feed. The situation may force
rather heavy liquidation of live
stock -and poultry,, which may in
turn cause even higher prices for
these products later,
“Our farmers should buy feed
only as needed. A late fall would
improve the outlook.
“Farmers should save all the
hay they can and sow a big
small-grain crop this year.
“Milk producers will suffer
from the! squeeze of high feed
prices an# consumer resistance to
higher milk prices.”
In discussing the livestock
feed outlook for 1947-48, Coltrane
said: “If we were not a feed def
icit state* we would be all right
because our local feed production
looks very good.” From the na
tional viewpoint, he reported, it
appeared the country will have
about 10 per cent less feed per.
animal feeding unit than it had
last year.

new budget which in its tenta-%,
tive state set the .county tax rat'e
at 85 cents on the 4100, valuation.
Although the county tax rate
under the hew proposed blidget
has Been cut three cents -m the
$100 valuation, most taxpayers in
the county will pay more taxes
next year because of the increases
made in the properly valuations.
Biggest kick on the increased
valuations has come from the
Chapel Hill area where the larg
est percentage of increases in val
uations occurred.
For the past couple of weeks j
the * commissioners have been j
meeting in Chapel Hill and in
specting the property where the
owners asked for a re-appraisal.
More than 100 owners appeared^
before ^the commissioners in the
initial meeting in Chapel Hill and
■raised questions over the valua
tion placed on their pieces of
property, homes and business
buildings.
However, many complaints
were received from farmers over
the county and the commission
ers have inspected the property
and made recommendations for
either decreasing the amount of
valuation oc leaving it at the value
set by the board of assessors.
The board of assessors, cofn
-posed of- Roland- McClaroroch, Zeb
C. Burton and Sterling H. Hunt,
spent several months looking
over the property in the county
and making estimations on its
value. Cards were distributed to
all property owners on wnicn
they registered the different as- i
pects of their property and these
plus the inspection formed the
basis for the valuation.

Weed Crop
Still Shows
Improvement
Improvement in North Caro
lina’s tobacco crop during the
past three weeks was reported by
the federal-state crop reporting
service in the State Department
of Agriculture, which said all gen
eral crops are making good prog
ress after receiving considerable
rainfall recently.
The crop was described as
“fair” to “good,” with harvesting
already started in the Border and
Eastern belts. Some farmers have
primed their tobacco two and
three times in these belts, the
report stated.
Crop - weather correspondents
described the corn crop as “good”
to “excellent,” with an excellent
color and unusually large growth.
If present prospects continue
i throughout the season, all pre
vious production records will be
broken, the report said.
Farm labor remains scarce and|
expensive, and there are some
complaints of inefficiency among
the labor that can be hired, the
reported to be the size of guinea
farm labor is needed as tobacco
barning gets into full swing.
During the week ending July
19, light hailstorms were re
ported over the north-central
section of the state from Ran
dolph county to Waj/ne county
and northward to Virginia. Hail
storms also were reported in
Cleveland and Columbus coun
ties, with the storms particularly
severe in the Fallston section of
Cleveland, where hailstones were
eauinS jo azis am aq o; pa^jodau
eggs. Cotton suffered severely in
Clveland county, and there was
severe damage to tobacco in the
Mount Olive section and in Cun
