Arlington Happenings and Community Notes
Local church services at Wesleyan Methodist were conducted by Rev. Perry King and his wife while they visit Arlington parents. Attendees from Arlington include the Wickers and several families as the Kings may depart soon for missionary work but are delayed by war papers. Community events feature a Sunday school class supper hosted by Mrs. Elmer McMichael and a wedding invitation from Allentown for Isabelle Dagler and Russell Laudenslager. The Home Helpers club met at Conaway's Camp with a noon pitch-in and a TB and Christmas Seal planning segment plus 4-H health talk and Achievement Day plans.

Hoosier Motorists Bid Break On Plate Date Change
Hoosier motorists have long sought to shift the registration plate date, but Assembly members have denied it. Todd Stoops notes many states already advance plate dates and Pennsylvania will in 1940. Pennsylvania law also tightens tire safety, substitutes fog lamps for headlights in rain, enforces a 35 mph limit in fog, requires speedometer certificates for speeding arrests, and raises the view distance to 500 feet.
