Prospects of standing in long lines or receiving traffic citations for operating vehicles not properly registered may face some citizens, said Elbert L. Peters, Jr., Commissioner of Motor Vehicles. “During the first two weeks of the registration renewal period this year, about 200,000 fewer license plates and stickers had been sold com pared to 1978,” Peters said, noting that “despite excellent coverage by the news media on the advantages of pur chasing early, approximately 36 percent fewer tags and stickers have been sold this year in this initial 14-day period.” Sales began January 2nd. “But there are indications that sales have picked up during the past two weeks,” he said. “We encourage vehicle owners to purchase their tags or stickers now while the lines are usually short.” 4 Peters said owners who have not received a 1979 renewal card should notify the motor vehicles division im mediately by phone at (919) 733-6505 between 8:30 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. A renewal card will be issued and mailed to the vehicle owner. Stickers or tags may be pur chased at branch offices or through the mail from the Division of Motor Vehicles, 1100 New Bern Avenue, Raleigh, N.C. 27097. Peters said the agency cannot guarantee delivery of tags or stickers ordered through the mail after February 1. “If owners receive their renewal card after February 1, they should make their pur chases at a nearby branch agency,” said Peters, noting that there are more than 100 County will be at the Agriculture Extension Office. Voting will be from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on March 6,1979. Those eligible to vote will be all North Carolina farmers who own or share in the ownership of the cows on dairy farms engaged in the produc tion of Grade A miik on a commercial basis. locations across the state. Owner who have not received renewal cards also may purchase 1979 tags or stickers with last year’s card. To save time, Peters suggested owners should line through any incorrect infor mation and print in corrected Northwestern Corp. I Financial Report I Northwestern Financial Corporation earned $11,202 million before securities transactions for the year en ded December 31, 1978, up from $9,353 million in 1977. Per share earnings for 1978 were $2.17 according to Ben T. Craig, chairman, an increase of 19.2 percent over 1977’s $1.82 per share.-Net income for 1978 was $11,210 million compared to $9,328 million in 1977. Craig attributed the record 1978 earnings to increased net interest income as a result of strong loan demand and wider net interest spreads than those experienced in. 1977. Craig said, “We are pleased with the 1978 performance and, despite some narrowing in spreads during the final quarter of 1978 caused by rapidly rising in terest rates, we are confident 1979 will be another good year for Northwestern.” Fourth quarter income before securities transactions for the corporation totaled $3,146 million in 1978, up from $2,785 million in the final three months of 1977. On a per share basis, fourth quarter earnings were $.61 for 1978 compared to $.54 in 1977, an increase of 13.0 percent. Fourth quarter net income totaled $3,146 million, up from $2,784 million in 1977. The corporation’s major subsidiary, The Northwestern Bank, earned $10,528 million before securities transactions in 1978 or 23.6 percent more than in the prior year. Fourth i quarter bank profits increased 11.1 percent to $2,753 million from the $2,478 million earned in 1977’s final quarter. v As of. December 31,1978, the corporation’s total loans (net of upearned income) were mARCH of Dimes . C tions for 942 yards, averaging 16.1 yards per catch, and was again WNC’s No. 1 receiver.

Holland reported today. Advance enrollment for Post No. 122 as of December 31, 1978, is 35, Commander - Holland announced. This is an increase of two over the num ber of Legionnaires who had signed up for 1978 as of December 31 last year, he ex plained. “This expansion of our membership ranks here in Yancey County is further assurance that we will have both the manpower and the financial resources as a solid base for our cominunity ser vice programs and ac tivities,” Commander Holland declared. The American Legion and Auxiliary's annual sponsoring of juniors from Mountain Heritage High School in June of each year to attend a week’s session of Boy’s State and Girl’s State activities is one of the most important programs of Post 122. Here our youth are thoroughly indoctrinated in the operation and importance of government. Key state of ficials participate and usually the groups are surprised by a visit by the Governor or Lieutenant Governor. Commander Holland credited the healthy growth of Post 122 to recognition by the nTMTTT"! piaza 111 | l j —| ■ | maaii sh. 9=30-B=oo ■ I KI I B ri Jna I OTJUy • POLYESTER COTTON PRINTS - SLEEPWEAR FLANNEL EE REO. *1.29 YD.
