Car Licenses
For l943
To Be Decals


Arizona's S metal automobile license
plates will give way to the war and
in their place motorists will receive
a "decal' sticker when purchasing
1943 licenses, which will go on sale
Jan. 4.
Cost of the new licenses, under
the lieu tax system, will be the same
for cars registered in the city and
county, whereas, under the old
method in which the cost was based
on different tax rates, those in the
city cost considerably more. The
actual cost of the license is uniform
for all cars, $3.50, and to this is
added the amount of tax which is
based upon the assessed value of
the car.
A "decal'' sticker is actually a
transfer which becomes more or less
permanent when attached to the
windshield. It is urged that motor
lists take the stickers to service sta
tions for attachment as they are
easily spoiled in the process and the
average person is likely to find that
he is not adept at the task. Incl
dentally, if one is spoiled, replace
ment will cost an additional 81.
The new licenses, which will be
on sale throughout the entire month
OF January, are small replica of a
metal plate. They have yellow
background and black numerals,
with "Grand Canyon State and
"Arizona" superimposed in white
They have six numerals, and the
letter which indicates the county
has been eliminated. However, the
old license plates must remain on
the car. The dead line for use OF
1942 plates is Jan. 81.
In purchasing licenses, motorists
must present their Arizona titles
and 1912 registration cards. If the
car is registered in another county
for 1912 and the registration caro-
has been lost Zee of so cents viii
have to be sent to the assessor oi
that county for new card before
the 1943 license can be issued.

their ride to battle.
The work is based on folk songs
which are utilized IN broad way.
It permits of many strong effects
that call upon the elastic and deeply
varied tonal coloring of the en-
semble and also discloses some fine
solo voices. Mr.. Jarof has special
gift for choosing the type Of voice
best suited to express the music
and although several of them may
be of the same kind, their quality
will be quite different. 1t is a pity
that these soloists are not allowed
to acknowledge the applause which
is theirs by right of their fine per-
formance. -.--
The remainder OF the program
held many interesting numbers but
on the whole the old zest was miss
ing. The two expert dancers who
appeared before each intermission
and performed to a singing ac-
compartment aroused the greatest
enthusiasm with their skill. Their
high leaps, swift turns and agility
in the squatting Russian dance were
accomplished with the utmost grace
and lightness. Encores by the sings
ers prolonged the program which
was preceded by a beautiful and
moving presentation of the national
anthem. The concert was the first
of the Sunday series sponsored by
Dorothy Hodgkin Dorsey.
