NEW
nge
Residents of Hertford are ad
vised they should check carefully
their license renewal cards, issued
by the State Department of Mo
tor Vehicles for 1959 car tags, and
see that the address listed cor
responds with new addresses as
signed by the Town of Hertford
last summer.
According to instructions issued
with the renewal cards, motorists
must notify the Motor Vehicles
Department of any change in ad
dress.i ,Cardsv listing old address
es,' the instructions state,' should
be changed to show present house
numbers. ? V ,
Motorists are advised to read
the " instructions booklet and to
comply with the instructions in
order not to delay securement of
their tags.
Another change in the proced
ure of purchasing the tags for
1959 is the rule that no longer
requires the motorist to secure an
insurance certificate FS-1, for re
newal of registration by owner.
However, on the back of the re
newal card is a space for insur
ance declaration which must be
signed by the car owner prior
to purchase of the tags. -.
The new car license plates are
on sale now in .various offices
over the state and at the Depart
ment of Motor Vehicles in Ra
leigh. As was ,the case last year,
motorists will pay a dollar extra
for plates costing ten dollars1 or
more, this extra dollar going for
the continuation of driver educa
tion in the state.
Hertford, caf owners are also
advised that1 the' Town -of HA-t-ford,
taes,ij! whichi must; be ;put
chased and displayed by all resi
dents of the town, are now on
sale at the Town Clerk's office.

Outlook For '59
AppearsBright
Tlie year 1909 is predicted to
be a better year. Prices of
things people buy will rise by
not more than one or two per
cent during the year. This is
the report by R. M. Thompson
and Mrs. I'aige Underwood of
the Extension Service Office.
During the recent recession
people were somewhat cautious
about buying and reluctant to
go further into debt. However,
they have continued to spend
freely for soft goods foods,
gasoline and tilings used up, and
for services rent, transporta
tion, medical care and recrea
tion. Factors influencing the family
situation are family size, more
married women entering thr
labor force and changes in fam
ily spending patterns.
Food consumers will pay
about the same or lower prices
in 1959. There will be an in
crease in supplies of pork, poul
try, fats and oils, peanuts, ap
ples and potatoes. There will
be about the same supplies of
beef and dairy products. Small
er supplies and higher prices
are expected for citrus.
