The Law Cov ering Use of the Board Numbers Matter of Pasteboard Anto Numbers a Temporary Accomodation to Car Purchaser Pasteboard license numbers are issued by a dealer for a specific pur pose. This purpose is to give the pur chaser time in which to secure his license plates from the county trea surer and use the automobile in the meantime. The law requires that when a dealer issues a pasteboard number to the purchaser, he shall perforate the month and day of the month, and shall write the name of pur chaser, the date of sale and sign the firms name by someone in authority upon the card before the card is given to the purchaser. This card, properly attached to the vehicle, is good for ten days, but during the ten days the purchaser must carry his bill of sale, showing his owner ship. Uuon the sale of an auto or truck, the dealer is required to immediate ly, notify the county treasurer giv ing the name of the party to whom the vehicle was sold and the date of the sale. The law specifically forbids the dealer using the pasteboard num ber for any other purpose or issu ing a second pair of numbers to the same person for the same vehicle, and provides a penalty of $50 to $100 for first offense of the mis-use of pasteboard numbers and not less than $100 for second offense and revocation of the dealers license. This law is being abused by some of the automobile dealers of the state. Ways of abuse are, failing to immediately notify the county trea surer of the sale; post dating the bill of sale and issuing a second pair of numbers in order to make the ten days reach into a cheaper classification of registration; using pasteboard numbers on demonstra tion cars. Some dealers 1 allow their sales men to use pasteboard numbers on their service cars. This is specifi cally forbidden by the law.

The club was urged by the County Agents to do there part in 4H work and they pledged themselves to do their best in furthering this great community work.
