ments, - refinancing, - living ex

Car Inspection
Law Begins Nov. 1
i If you are one of the nearly
tone million Georgia automokbile
sand truck owners who has not
vet obtained a windshield safety:
'sticker, you'd better get yours
Iright away. Reason: Oct. 31 is the
;deadline for complying with
!Georgia's new motor vehicle in

j “And the deadline absolutely
{WILL NOT be extended,” deeclar
ed Col. H. Lowell Conner, director
jof the State Department of Pub-~
[lic Safety. “Special orders have
(been issued from our headquar
,|ters to all members of the Stafe
i Patrol to begin enforcing the law
iNov. 1.2
I This means, Col. Conner ex
'tplaitned, that after midnight Oct.
',31 State Troopers will stop ve
hicles bearing Georgia license:
jtags that do not have official state
isafety stickers displayed on the
| windshield. They will be treated
{like any other traffic law violator
{—put under arrest.
J “Georgians have had nine
Imonths in which to get their ve
'hicles inspected and approved,
(yet nearly one million of them
.are still putting it off,” the di
|rector observed. “Now time is fast
{running out.
| “However, i f they hurry they
can get it done before the dead
iline. In many instances, if doesn’t
| take any longer or cost any more:
| than getting a tank filled up with
Egas. There are 2,000 state approv

“Operating credit has made it
possible for many low-income:
farm families to become success--
ful operators,” Mr. Howell said.
“In addition, many young families
have been able to become soundly
established farmers who could not:
obtain: sufficient ‘' credit.” FHA
does not compete with creditors
but fills a credit gap where onky
FHA will meet the needs. Whemn
borrowers progress to a point of
economic stability they are re
quired to seéecure credit from pri
vate credit sources. ‘
In addition to credit, FHA has:
trained personnel to assist in farm
management and reorganization
so as to make better use of the re
]sources of the farm family.
