Arlington County Observes Holiday in Virginia Style
Arlington County celebrated Christmas with dinners and a county wide event, including a Christmas tree at Lyon Park with Santa Claus, church services, jail visits, and community charity. Fire crews fought two blazes in homes linked to faulty flues, causing about $200 in damages. Motorists urged to obtain 1925 tags, with locals planning actions up to Governor Trinkle.
