strip with your stippling paint about
80 inches wide beginning in corner

couple of brushfuls Of your stippling

first until the area is completed.

Passenger car owners with books
above the basic "A" must have their
tires inspected every two months
Commercial vehicle tires must be
inspected every two months or every
1900 miles. whichever comes first.
OPA said official inspectors would

OPA said neither private pas

vehicles would be certified for con-
tlnued operation when tires needed
repairs or when mechanical faults
caused unnecessary tire wear.
The inspector will note the serial
