AUTO INSPECTION STATION MOVES HERE JANUARY 4 All owners of automobiles and trucks which already bear the Second Period blue and yellow Inspection Approval sticker are cautioned that although this sticker will be recognized as good until April 30, lUilyM Is extremely Important that theyliocurw the now black and orange l?*lrat Period 1041 sticker while ?H Inspection station Is In their county, because otherwise they will have to drive to another county for Inspection to avoid prosocutlou on May 1, 1941. In a statement regarding the application and enforcement of the vehicle Inspection law, A. W. Hohlen,'Director of tho Motor Vehicle Division of the State Highway Department, said that I ulthough most motorists understand that cars ami trucks which do not now display either the hirst Period 1941 or the Second Period 1940 sticker are now being stopped by the Statu Highway Patrol and their owners being prosecuted, there has been some misunderstanding about the status of vehicles which display the 1940 certificate. ''lu the case of a county which la served by a portable lane, If owners who have the 1940 sticker on their vehicles do not secure the First Period 1941 sticker before the station leaves the county In which they live, tlioy will be put to considerable trouble and inconvenience," Mr. Itohleu said. "On and after May 1, 1941 such delinquent owners will be liable to immediate prosecution ami in most cases no Inspection station will be set up within a convenient distance, Consequently, they will have to drive to a point several utiles away for inspection, or stop operating their, vehicles untilv the station returns. Therefore, it is urged that all vehicles, whether they have the Second Period 1940 atiekor or not. be put through inspection when the safety station is within convenient range." An inspection station is now located in Kershaw for tlie benefit of residents of that area. The inspection station will remain in Kershaw through Friday, January 3. However, attention is called to the fact that the station will be closed on December 23, 24, and 25, and again on January 1. On all other days the station will bo open from 8 a. m. to "> p. in., except on Saturdays, when the hours are from 8 to 1. On January 4 tho station will, move to Camden.
