Car Plates, Highway
Patrol Warns Owners
Reminders from the Alaska
Highway Patrol to vehicle owners
this week pertained to the regis
tration of vehicles and the dis
play of license plates.
All persons are required to reg
ister, vehicles in use on roads in
the Territory and all license plates
must be clearly displayed, they
said. Plates may not be concealed
in any way by any additional tags,
plates or the like and violators
will be prosecuted, the patrol an
nounced.
Suggesting that plates be
securely attached to the vehicles,
officials pointed out that the 1953
plates may be used again next
year with only a small year-plate
issued, to be attached to the 1953
plate.
The vehicle registration (or
plate license) must be in the ve
hicle at all times. Motorist who are
stopped and can not produce the
registration will have to find some
other means of getting to their
destinantion, they said. All ve
hicles not carrying the registra
tion will be impounded.
“This is for the protection of
the owner ’’ they said. “If the j
registration is carried in one mem
ber of the family’s pocket, there is
no proof for any other member
who may be using the vehicle.”
The title should not be kept in
the car but in some safe place
with other important papers, they
emphasized.
Are you vowing not to leave
your Christmas shopping until the
day before? Now's the time to
start. How many bridal and baby
showers do you attend each year?
Why not take advantage of this
sale to pamper your budget and
be prepared too. We don’t en
courage smugness in our custom
ers, but there’s a lot of satisfac
tion in knowing you need not
rush out and buy a gift for that
new baby because you have sev
eral cute gifts stored away for
just this moment. Several engage
ments have been announced re
centy and more will be in the
next few months. Keep these girls
in mind, too, because a lingerie
shower is almost always a part of
the plans of friends of the bride
,(and what could be nicer?)—And
there are always birthdays. And
don’t forget that sweet girl grad
uate.
While you’re making your bud
get plans for gifts for the coming
year . . . and letting us help you,
we hope — we would appreciate
your help in our plans for the
coming year. We were pressed for
more complete information about
each one of you last month. So
next time you stop in, ask to fill
out a card of information about
yourself if we forget to ask you.
We need it all thru the year. We
will be much better able to help
your family and friends on An
niversaries, Birthdays and Christ
mas.

A dripping faucet not only is
annoying, but it is expensive
too. The amount of water that
is wasted in this way is amaz
ing. Also it is one of those
things that costs little to re
pair if repaired in lime, but if
neglected may be expensive.
Don't put it off . .. Call Mac's
