Most Vehicle Owners Show
They Understand New Law
Raleigh ? The first two weeks'
experience under North Carolina's
ndw automobile liability insurance
law indicate that car owners gen
erally understand it. Motor Vehi
cles Department officials said this
week.
Another indication is that many
are not ready to buy both their
license plate and the liability in
surance they must have in order
(tor get their tags.
Officials estimate there are still
some 200,000 uninsured owners,
although the deadline for new tags
comes February 15.
'Jn other words, the sale of 1958
plates is proceeding smoothly but
slowly when compared to lost year,
according to Miss Foy Ingram, di
rector of the agency's registration
division.
During the fifst two weeks there
was some indication that the auto
mobile owning public is more fa
miliar with the liability insurance
' law than with the other new law
which requires an additional pay
ment of $1 on each license plate,
the proceeds to be used for the
driver education of teen-agers in
high school.
During the first week of the tag
sale, 162 of the thousands of appli
cations received by mail were re
turned for the lack of an 'TS 1"
certificate of insurance. But dur
ing the same period 497 mailed
applications were returned unfilled
because car owners had not in
cluded the extra dollar for educa
tion.
Officials reminded those who
have not bought new tags yet they
may obtain them over the counter
at branch offices or by writing di
rect to Raleigh. They also empha
sized the importance of having, in
either case, an FS-1 for each li
cense tag ordered, 1958 registra
tion card, and an extra dollar for
plates formerly costing $10 or
more.
By Feb. 15, all autos and trucks
must be re-licensed, or kept off
the streets and highways.

Unique Outer Bank* of North
Carolina Add to State Charm
By F. C. SALISBURY
Nowhere along the Atlantic coast
can there be found such long
stretches of outer banks, ns those
in Carteret County Core Banks on
the eastern side of the county ex
tends ffem the village of Ports
mouth to Cape Lookout, a distance
of 50 miles Bogue Banks facing
the south, is 25 miles in length!
from Bogue Inlet to Boaufort In-1
let, formerly known as Old Top'
sail.
Shackleford Banks, extending
some 8 miles, was an arm of Core
Banks until separated by the Bar
den Inlet. When this strip of sand
and dunes was granted to John
Shuckleford in 1714, it took the
name of its owner.
Firft to sight the Banks along
the Carolina coast is said to have
been Giovanni da Verro/ano, a
Florentine explorer and privateer,
sailing under the flag of France
It was the year 1524, long before
the "Lost Colony" reached the
shores of Carolina, that Verrazano j
made hii first land fall on the ]
coast near the mouth of the Cape
Fear Kiver. Unable to find a har
bor to suit him, he turned north
ward, finding the coast "to trend
toward the east.'*
Writing his impressions of the
land, he said: "The shore is all
covered with small sand and so
ascendeth upward for the space
of 15 foote, rising in forme of little
hills about 50 paces broad And
sayling forward, we found certain
small rivers and arms of the sea.
lhat fall dowa by certain creekes. i
washing the shore on both sides!
as the coast lycth."
And beyond this we saw the
open country rising in height above,
the snndie shoare with many fair
fields and plaines, full of mightie
great woods, some very thieke and
some thinne, replenished with
divers sorts of tjpes, as pleasant
and delect abb* fp behqfci, as is pos
sible to imagine "
Then Verrazano goes on to de
scribe the Indians and the rvtep
tion given jome of his sai)01? yho
went ashore.
