Extension of licenses aids at holiday in PennsylvanIa
Harrisburg December 1 The Pennsylvania Motor Federation urged motorists to file operator license renewals early to align with the extension of license plates to April 1 1939 and a January 31 renewal deadline. Federation president John A Rupp noted the three month free use of 1939 plates and savings for motorists while easing pre holiday renewals and mail volume. The measure, part of 1939 legislation, allows plates legal until March 31 while guiding renewals to January 31 and simplifying Christmas holiday logistics.
