Watch That Safety Sticker; Orange Out If the safety Inspection sticker on the windshield of your car is still casting an orange glow, you have a deadline approaching. After midnight, December 31, none of the orange stickers will be valid. If you drive an unin spected vehicle after that date you will be subject to a $50,00 fine or more. According to Roger Parker, assistant director of the License and Safety Inspection Division of the Department . of Motor Vehicles, motorists with expir ing stickers should have their vehicles inspected now to avoid a possible last minute rush during the week following Christmas. Parker says the orange stick ers are very conspicuous "and we are still seeing large number of them on the streets and high ways. If everyone waits until the last week of the month to have their cars and other vehicles Inspected, the inspection sta tions are going to be swamped and a tot of people are going to be inconvenienced." ' State law provided for a fine of up to $50,00, phis court costs, for persons driving after their inspection stickers have ex pired, The cost of the Inspec tion Is $1.50 and, according to Parker, the average cost of repairs Is less than $1.00. The 19C8-69 inspection stick er is green and will be valid on some cars through December of next year. The 1969-70 stickers, which will be issued beginning January L, 1969, will be red.

Good Time To Thin Pine Stands Lewis StalUngs, Perquimans County Ranger with the North Carolina Forest Service reports that now is a good time to thin crowded pine stands. With most farm activity at a slower pace landowners should turn to im proving thsir woodlands. Thinning a crowded pine stand will accelerate the growth of the better quality trees that are left. Also, a thinning permits you to realize some income from trees that eventually would die and be wasted in the natural thinning process. Vigorous trees with ample growing space are less susceptible to attacks by Insects and disease. Crowded trees be come weak, and their growth rate Is slow. When thinning young stand the suppressed, diseased, crooked, and deformed trees should be cup for pulpwood to make room for the better quality, faster growing trees. In older stands the mature and crowded trees should be removed for sawtim- ber. Sometimes both sawtlmber and pulpwood should be thinned from a stand. The trees to be harvested should be carefully selected and marked with paint before the cutting starts. An estimate of the volume to be cut, can be made at the time of marking. A forester Is available from the North Carolina Forest Ser vice to select, mark and esti mate the trees that should be cut. If you have a thick pine stand, call County Ranger Lewis Stal Ungs at Hertford 426-5551 or 426-5291 and he will arrange for a forester to examine your woodlands with you.
