fact that they were rounded up
from scattered camps, they gave
the general impression of hu-

privilege simply because time
hangs heavily on prisoners
hands. One sergeant said he was
disciplined for getting into a

BUYING AUTO TAGS

Auto license plates must be Sc
cured before the end of January to
avoid payment of penalties, &C,
cording to Lynn Farley, county as
SCISSOR, who in urging motorists to
get their license plates as soon as
possible, said: There will be the
usual rush at the last minute. If
you want to avoid the rush and
make sure you get your plates be-
fore the penalty date, come after
them now"
Those applying for new plates
should present their 1941 plates at
the Justice of the Peace office, as
the state is gathering them up FOR
conversion to defense use, Mr.. Ear
ly said.
The 1912 certificates of registra-
tion are numbered, and all num-
bers must be accounted for. Should
one be lost the owner is required
to pay a fee of so cents for new
certificate. The certificate of title
must be presented when new plates
are bought.
In many cases in years past the
legislature has been in session in
late January, and when this has
been the case, emergency bills
have been passed extending the
legal time limit for purchase OF
plates. Not so this year. Mr.. Ear
ley said. The assessors office
will have no alternative to levying
penalties on those auto owners who
come in for their plates after the
