A F y pa- \t are child- stones of ts Thursday, December 14, 1939, PENNSYLVANIA MOTOR. ISTS WILL NOT BE IN- CONVENIENCED IN DEC. Pennsylvania motorists this year can look forward to a Christmas and New Year season free from the in- convenience of renewing motor ve- hicle registrations, the Pennsylvania Motor Federation—AAA, states, Under legislation sponsored by the Federa- tion and enacted by the 1939 General Assembly, present license plates will be legal until midnight next March 31st. Coincident with the three months’ extension of registrations, the Feder- ation reminded, however, operators’ licenses must be renewed before the end of next month. The current (1939- 1940) drivers’ cards expire at mid- night on January 31st, one month be-| fore previous years. This change has been made to retain a two-month in- terval between the of Motor Vehicles which handles more fthan 400000 applications fin; 'the course of issuing both kinds of licen- ses. The revised license years constitute “one of the most progressive steps| Pennsylvania has take nto aid motor- ists,” John A. Rupp, president of the Federation, said. He continued: “Starting this year Pennsylvania's motorists no longer are compelled to buy new license plates at a time when they would much prefer to spend their | money in the care free observance of | the Christmas-New Year season. The huge volume of registration mail is taken from the pre-Christmas period when the post offices are over taxed and there is a greater chance of deliv- ery delays. As a result of the new law motorists will have free access to the ears during January, February and March, without the necessity of buy- ing new tags until approximately tha time when the normal spring motor- ing season starts. “Then, too, it distributes among all motor vehicle owners a 1939 Christ- mas present worth several millions of dollars—three months of free driving on current license plates. Although the latter is a one-time saving, there will be year after year savings for all owners who purchase part-year reg- istrations, the old system of half year AND MEMBERS OF THE MERTENS BAKERY, of registration and | operators’ renewal deadlines and thus | relieve pressure on the State Bureau | tees for five months registrations and quarter year fees for two month reg- istrations being abolished. “For the convenience of all motor- ists, the following schedule is in- cluded to show waen licenses must be renewed and part-year registrations | become available: “Current (1939-40) operators’ licens- es are valid until midnight January | 31; | “New (1940-41) cards must be car-| ried on an dafter February 1; “Current (1939) motor vehicle reg- istrations are being issued from now until midnight next March 31, at one- quarter of the annual fee; “1940-41 registrations must be used on and after next April 1 and will be sold at the full year fee until Septem- | ber 30; | “From October 1 to December 31. the 1940-41 registrations will cost one half the annual fee; and | “From January 1, 1941, to March 31, 1941, the 1940-41 registrations will be sold at one-forth the annual fee.” BOTH PARTIES PAID OUT PLENTY DURING RECENT CO.

Art Suppiles Think of Children, Not Only Yourself, When Buying Toys Don’t buy the toy just because it pleases your fancy. Keep the child in mind, too. Miniature dogs with wagging tails are fascinating to parents but they won't keep the child happy very long. Miss Elisa- beth Irwin, who is principal of New York’s Little Red School House, says large blocks, toul chests or hand-manipuiated derricks make much better gifts.

Choose toys which help children like over saw horses. Roller skates, sleds, bicycles and other athletic toys are also good. 3. Find toys that don’t break eas- ily. If you buy tools, be sure the hammer head won't fly off. Inex- pensive miniature automobiles may break down after a few trips around the parlor floor. 4. Buy games of skill, chance. Select games counting and building. not of Santa’s Gifts Censored In S. Africa This Year They’ve cramped Santa Claus’ style this Christmas in South Africa. Little Jannie may ask for a toy pistol and little Piet may want a box of lead soldiers. But they won’t get them. Toy soldiers, guns and tanks and pistols are now banned by the Union. The reason: A recent outbreak of violence by young criminals frightened the legislature into barring any toy resembling a weapon, particularly a revolver. Water pistols are barred, and even the little percussion cap pis- tols are taboo.

Actually, deep tickling can gener- ally be resisted by keeping the mus- cles rigid and contracted. The response to tickling is a true reflex. It is carried by the nerves to the spine to a portion of the brain known gs the “thalamus” which translates the sensation into a response of lau- ghter, ‘crying or other reaction. ' The other kind of tickling, surface tickling,” may be caused by a touch et a A LE TN | as “light as a feather.” The sensation often lasts after the feather or other productive activity has been stopped. This after sensation can be reliev- | ed by vigorous rubbing or scratch- | ing of the involved part. | A second person may tickle one | with a straw about the nose and the | sensation lasts quite a while. Captain Ignace Heradas was cap- tured by Ayapica Indians of Vene- zuela in 1512 stripped and staked to an ant hill The brave captain died ,but history does not say whether it was from fricht, exhaustion, starvation, sume stroke or. being tickled to death by the huge jungle ants, HK wasn't funny!
