The image is too blurry to accurately transcribe the text. It appears to be a black-and-white photograph of a room with several people sitting around tables, engaged in various activities. The focus is on the individuals, but the details are not clear due to the low resolution and potential noise.

IT'S State’s License Plate Stickers for 1957 to Reflect Light California’s new “glow-in-the-dark” stickers for the 1957 vehicle registration renewal will be issued to the vast majority of the State’s 7,000,000 motorists between January 2 and February 4, 1957, according to Paul Mason, Director of Motor Vehicles. Packaged by the Department of Corrections at Folsom, they are now in stock at 115 DMV permanent offices, 100 selected metropolitan banks (which may issue them only to holders of 1957 punched card fee statements), additional temporary DMV stations manned by travel crews, and the authorized auto clubs and associations. The stickers—which “glow” By reflecting the lights of oncoming cars—are to be applied to the flat yellow portion of the rear license plate between the word “California” and the raised black area which reads “56.” Mason reported. Here’s how the reflectorized stickers are applied: 1. Clean well the flat yellow portion of the rear plate between “California” and “56.” (It is not necessary to remove the plate.) Be sure the area in dry before applying the sticker. 2. Carefully remove the paper backing on the rear of the sticker by bending the sticker at the scored point where the paper backing is cut. Then peel the backing toward the sides. Read the instructions on the backing before removing. 3. Apply the sticker by pressing it firmly into place. A tough adhesive bonds the sticker to the plate. Motor vehicle department officials declare that the new reflective stickers will be less subject to theft or fraudulent transfer than the hook-on metal tabs formerly used. They will also permit enforcement officers to check validity of registrations more effectively at night. The new stickers are 1½ by 1½ inches in size. They have a red background with black letters and numerals. William V.
