White holiday and warmer is city forecast
A white but warm Christmas is forecast for Indianapolis by U S Weather Bureau meteorologist J H Armington. Clouds, light snow flurries, and local Indiana snowstorms are expected with temperatures not dipping below 20 degrees tonight and rising Wednesday. Road conditions remain poor in northern Indiana and drifted highways require caution as maintenance crews work to clear passes. Dodge car dealers, hosted by J C Scanlan, learned plans for the year and were invited to a Detroit convention January 3 and 4 with attendees from several Indiana towns.
