Check '^les Say$ Motoi Clnb! The N.C. State Motor Club to day called on the 1967 General Assembly to strengthen ihe | state’s niotor vehicle inspection ^ law by including tires iin the ; inspected items. “Tn es are a vital part oi any i motor vehiele’s equipment,’’ de-| flared Thorrras B. Watkins, pres- j ident of tlie motor club and the I National Automobile Association* ■ “Unpopular as this idea may be i in some quarters, tires definitely should be included in the inspect ed itei r s. Satiety eonscious motor ists \yill agree that this omission leaves a great gap in our inspec-' tion program that should y be closed as quickly ^s possible. North Carolina’s inspection law presently covers brakes, lights, horn, steering .mechanism, windshield wipers and direction al slgrrals. M^or Velricles Com- rnlssloner A. Pitet:n says Godwin has predicted that the inspection law wHl be broadened. Watkins pointed out that his motor club recently conducted .a mail survey of the 21 states that have Inspection laws. The survey revealed that 15 now inchfde tires in their inspection programs, four do not, anrd the-iOiher two, although having no tire require ment, inspect tires under the law requiring that all vehicles be maintained in safe operating con dition , Most of these states reject | ! tires for exposed ply or cord, fab-j f ric breaks and cuts, bulges and’j I tires temporarily repaired with ! I blbwout patches and boots Five j I states have specific taread depth I requirer.|?nts of at least two- thirty-seconds of an inch.. “The experience of thfese states over a period of years has in dicated that tires n^tirt be In cluded in any well-rounded in spection program,’’ Watkins said The General Assembly shoul/d lose no tkr.e; in closing this gap In North Carolina’s Idw.” Jefferson Davjs .served in Con gress prior to the civil war.

Pontiac Motor Divisioi^- has merged all of today’s engmeer- ing kriuwledge with the practi cal limitations of the industry to make their 1967 models saf er, irroTe durable and more re- liabl-e than ever before. “Sini?e the first Poirtiae was introduced over forty years aio no consideration has ^Ver beeii more important to us than safe ty,’’ John Z DeLorean, a Gen eral Motors vice president and Pontiac general mlanager, said. In addition to the safety im- proventents already included as standard equipment, Pontiac has engineered many others intc their 1967 models as standard items and a number of accesso ries are safety orientated. Every 1967 Pontiac will have an energy-absorbing column and a dual braking system as stand ard equipment. In the event of a severe fra/tl end collision, the 1967 Poritia'- steering column will “collapse’’ or shorten at a controlled rate when the force of in-)| ftet is ap plied to it at either erid. . Special mountings oh the dasl and beneath the instrument pan el permit the ocl;umn <o absorb energy under force from an ac cident. This cushiohs fhe impact of the driver agalJi^ the steer ing wh^^el in severe accidents and also prevents the column front being forced to\^4rd the <friver.. The nrw br&king system will have dual cyRndei's, one control ling front brakes and the other the reatr braids Thus, front and rear brakes Will be ccjitrolled separately and independently. If any parrt of the brake system (fails to flunefioh, a warning light will appear on the instrument panri. DeLorean also noted the fol lowing other safety develop ments, all standAixl on Pontiac’s 1967 mtodels: Inside rear view non-glare tilt ing mirror. Free wheeling front door locks which prevent the accidental opting of the doors. When the lock buttons are depressed, the door haindles become inoperative preventing the inadvertent open ing of the doors. Free whaling rear door locks had previously been intr(xiuced by Pontiac.

MOORE No force helping the individual or the nation to grow is stronger than education. If a society is to prbgress, flourish or even survive, its people, rpust grow steadily in knowledge and understanding. As a basic force for progress, the American edu cation system deserves to be contihually assisted by the intelligerrf effort of all citizens, private and corporate. Southern Bell salutes our teachers, the transmif- ters of knowledge, who through their dedicatiem and guidance capitalize on young people’s desire t6 learn. These young people dre North Carolina's mosrt important asset. As they assume the responsi bilities of tomorrow’s leaders, their educational en- viroment will assure the strength of North Caro lina for generations fo come. Southern Bell recognizes its obligation to sharO its knowlMgO with youth. Through its three tele training comihunicatiOn programs, High School Sci ence PfX)grams, boOlclets, training films, technical films arid re0<!ri'dirigs, Southern Bel! stimulates an interest for learning, thinking and doing. t\ ■ • • m IN BOSTON ’fHBY TflWK THE TELEPHONE IS FOR tHE ^RDS!
