Mrs. Virgil Deal
Given Surprise Picnic
On Her Birthday
On Thursday, August 22, Mrs.

Aluminum Pavilion, Lake Lavon.
Hosts were her husband and two
daughters, Mrs. R. B. Cameron
land Miss Bobbie Joe Deal of

Car Inspection Time
Lengthened; Sept. 1
To April 15, 1958
Inspection time has rolled
around again for more than four
million automobile and truck own-
ers in Texas.
The inspection period has been
lengthened this year under a pro
Vision of a state law setting Sep-
tember 1, 1957, until April 15,
1958, as the time in which all
vehicles must be checked for me-
chanical defects.
Col. Homer Garrison Jr., direc
tor of the Texas Department of
Public Safety, in announcing the
opening of the inspection period,
recommended that every owner
have his cars and trucks inspected
at the beginning of the period.
This, he said, will enable vehicle
owners to obtain inspection stick-
ers before the holidays and before
the last minute "log jam" at in-
spection stations.
Garrison said that more than
4,200 licensed inspection stations
in the state would have stickers
on hand by the starting date and
would be equipped to check ve-
hicles without delay.
