Although evergreens may be i transplanted most anytime of the ' year due to the fact that they are dug with a ball of earth on their roots, the best time to set them is in the fall of the year ? -'Octo ber and November. The larger the ball of earth the better the root systfcm in most cases, so try to get as large a ball as possible, in transplanting. It is not necessury to remove the burlap wrapping from the ball of earth. Set the plant in the hole prepared for it anil then unfasten the burlap frt\m around the stem ? and fold it back. Then fill It with top soil and thoroughly water the newly set plant. The burlap will rot away in a short time. | Most plants should be set slightly deeper than they were in the nursery or where they were growing. Camellias and azaleas are exceptions to this rule. They must not be planted any deeper than they were before. Three of the seven principal mountain ranges in North Care Una bear Indian names: The Un akas, Nantahalas and Cowtees. The other four ranges are the Great Smokies, Blue Ridge, Great Craggies and Balsams. 6 ways bettei # Thoroughly Inspected # Reconditioned for Safety # Reconditioned for Performance # Reconditioned for Value % Honestly Described You best bay bears this tag!

New Safety Law | Goes Into Effect On January 1st RALEIGH ? The requirements for reporting traffic accidents will be completely changed from the present system beginning January 1, when North Carolina's new Safety Responsibility Law goes into effect, Motor Vehicles Commissioner Edward Scheldt announced today. . Motorists Involved in accidents wllf not only be required to make two reports instead of one, as at present, but thte method of report ing, the places where reports are to be filed, and the' amount of property damage involved will al so be substantially different. In order to correct any confu sion or misunderstanding, Com missionter Scheldt issued the fol lowing step- by-step explanation of how the new reporting system will work on and after January 1: v ? "The first thing to understand is that a reportable accident un4' der the new Motor Vehicle Safety Responsibility Law is onfe In which a person has be0n killed or even slightly injured, or the total apparent property damage is $100 or more. There are a num ber of important things that call for brief explanation right heile. "The first is that the amount ol property damage involved is in creased from $25, as at present, to $100. The second is that the word 'total' means all property damage combined, not just the damage to one car or other pro perty of one person. If one car, for Instance, sustains $35 dam age and another $80, In the eyes of the law the total damage is $115 and the accident most cer tainly is reportable. Motorists should also be care ful not to undfer - estimate the amount of property damage. Mo tor vehicle repairs are costly these days, and that should be taken Into consideration. In ad dition, damaged clothing, damage to fences or buildings, (broken oyeglassfes and many other things must be included in the calcula tions. If there Is any doubt about the amount of property damage, my advice is to make both reports and be safe. There are stern pen alties for wilful failure to report | or fraudulent reporting. "The next thing to remember is that the driver of every car involved in a reportable accident must file two reports, regardless of fault. Even if onto driver as sumes all blame and offers to take care of the damage through his insurance; or if a pedestrian who is slightly injured refuses medical examination and says forget the whole' thing, go right ahead and file both reports. The law says this must be done ? and, furthermore, people sometimes change their mind after thinking things over. ? "Now a word about the two accident reports, and here we find sevieral vital changes in the law. At present, motorists are requir ed to report only once and it need not be written. Beginning Janu ary 1 they must make two re ports, each to a different place, and onfc? of them must be written and on an official form. The time for filing is also changed. "Under the new law, the first report must be made immediately and by the quickest means of | communication. Thus, this one does not have to be written. It I the accident occured in a munici pality. the report must be made to the local police. If it occured outside of a municipality, it must be made to the State Highway Patrol, the sheriff, or any other j qualified rural police of the coun ty in which ft occurred. "The second report must be fil ed within 24 hours with, the State Department of Motor Vehicles. This one must be written and the I new official form must be used. A supply of these forms has been depositeu with all State ftighway Patrol stations, the Department of Motor Vehicles, all police de partments and all sheriffs offi- 1 ces. Aijy motorist can dbtain one | of these forms at any time with out cost. It would be help/ul to get one now, study it. and kefcp It or. hand in case of ill luck, "This report calls for answem to many questions. They must be answered accurately and adequ ately. The information sought is for the protection of the person making the report. quite as much as the rest of the people. Take the question about Insurance, for Instance. If they aren't' answered the Department will assume the car or drivter was uninsured and will proceed against him under the security provisions of the new law. Yet, if he had insurance, he was exempt from the remaining provisions of the new law after having filed his report. "Most certainly motorists who | do not understand the new sys tem will have difficulty if they learn abouf It for the first time In the midst of an accident. Those who do understand it, however, will find It both simple and pro tective. That is the reason this statement is being issued."
