STICKERs MUST COME OFF
State Police Will Watch Automo-
bile Windshields and Windows

Acting under orders of Superin-
tendent c. @. Reynolds, officers of
the State Highway Police have be-
gun drive against stickers on the
Windshields and windows of auto
mobiles. The superintendent told
the police to first issue warning
and to compel those with the
stickers on their cars to remove
them and to arrest them if they
failed to do so. At the Penny Hill
station the police found a man who
was giving out sticker advertise
ments and furnished him with an
outfit of old safety razor blades
with which they compelled him TO
remove the stickers from the
windshields and windows of the
cars which he had decorated. A
number of drivers were also COM
PEELED to remove the stickers.
About forty cars which passed the
State Road station were stopped
and the drivers compelled to re
move the stickers. An exact count
was not kept but Superintendent
Reynolds said there were fully
that many. Not all of the stick
ers removed were advertisements.
Some were emblems of an automo-
bile association which were placed
on the rear windows of cars. As
these are also aaginst the law hey
were removed Superintendent
Reynolds said the police would
continue active as using the stick
ers is positively against the law
because it obscures vision.
