Nobody hero knows what proce­

stamp Issued by the federal gov­
ernment when the car license is
paid, is lpst.
Tw o stories are told
locally,
said to be true. One however
m ight have come from another
section o f the country and con­
cerns the predicament o f the o f­
ficers who were asked w hat to do
when the baby got the stamp from
the car and ate it. The other is
about a m oto rist who had stuck
his federal stamp on the w ind­
shield along w ith his tem porary
car license sticker. He went to a
sm all service station and got a
real job on washing his windows.
When he had driven about ten
miles he noticed th a t both the
tem porary license sticke r and fed­
eral car stamp had disappeared.
Probably where the m istake oc­
curred was th a t the service sta­
tion operator noticed lie had new
tags and considered the license
s ticke r obsolete. He evidently
figured the car stamp was no good
either.
