and have them prepared for approv-
al. In previous campaigns It has
been observed that owners prefer TO
walt until the opening Of the cam
paign to have their vehicles prop
erly equipped. Many, instead OF hav-
ing faults corrected before offering
vehicles for inspection, drove to the
inspection lane and had the state
employees examine their equipment,
the time thus consumed at the sta
tion was completely wasted. In COM
muuities, where the lanes were set
up for but few days, il has been
noticed that garages and service sta
tions have had more work TO do than
they could possibly finish thorough
ly In the limited length Of time Of
the safety lanes stay. A visit to the
repairman before having your car
inspected should be an easy remedy
for such a situation.
The safety lane Oficials also call
ed attention Of motorists to the i'm
portance Of cleaning their engine
numbers before coming 10 the lanes
Inspection Of the engine numbers is
new feature. Considerable delay
was caused at times at the stations
during the past week due to the fact
that the numbers could not be read
because Of the accumulation Of dirt
and grease.
In respect to the repairing or re-
placing Of defective equipment, II
should be distinctly understood that
the sponsors of the campaign are
not in the least interested in who
repairs the vehicles or who furnishes
the replacement parts. Owners are
at liberty to choose any garage for
service or IL able to do the work |

An anticipated pleasure to
MilfOrdians will be that Of the
showing Of a thirteen-year-old
motion picture Of the town and
some Of its residents. The pie
ture was taken at the time of
the first organization of the
local Chamber Of Commerce,
and in the intervening years
many changes have taken place.
In a conversation with Mayor
Evans, some Of the changes
spoken Of were the two banks
and the general local scene.
The film will be shown on Au-
gust LIST and End, and it will be
Of interest to all. A number of
the then older folks are no long
er here, while some Of the then
younger folks have grown up to
take their places. Thanks will
surely be expressed to Mayor
Evans for the preservation and
the revival Of this old film.
