Laws Tighten On
Driving Permits

A major change in the issuance
of drivers licenses to new motor
lists was announced today as the
Department of Highway Safety
moved into its fourth phase of
tightening driver license regula-
tionS.
Under ruling effective Tues
day, November. Is, 1855, all driver
license applicants in Franklin
County will be required to under
go vision check and written ex-
animation prior to being issued a
temporary permit, Director u. c.
Felty said.
The plan is being put into effect
only in Franklin County immedi-
ately in order to give the Driver
Licensing Section of the State
Highway Patrol an opportunity to
develop a smooth working proceed
ure. AS soon as the final procedure
is worked out it will become effec-
tive over the entire state, Director
Felty said.
Approximately 100000 persons
apply for temporary driving per-
mits in Ohio each year as a requir-
ed preliminary step to learning to
drive and then taking the final
test.When the new plan is put into
statewide operation all of these
persons will be affected by the new
regulation.

Club Hears Talk
On Norway Visit

The members of the Domestic
Science Club spent a most enjoy
able afternoon, Thursday Novem-
Der, 3rd., with Mrs. Josephine
Stalder as their hostess. The presi-
dent, Mrs. Jane Richards being alb
sent, the vice-president, Mrs. Stall
der, presided.
An interesting program was pre-
sented through the courtesy of
Mrs Pearl Hook.
Miss Beatrice Cleveland of Co
mmbus, former resident of Madi-
son County, presented Mrs. Jean
Ruff, who spoke on Norway. She
illustrated her talk with many
beautiful slides, picturing the
scenery, homes and occupations of
the Norwegians.
Mrs. Ruff is one of the Exchange
students sent from the United
States. During the year 1853, she
lived with three different families
in Norway. The students enter the
ZONES and live as one of the FAM
lily.
Mrs. Ruff said she found the peo-
Pile most hospitable and that she
felt the idea of exchanging stu
dents would be a great promotion
for peace.
She concluded her talk with this
thought:
Il was walking down the road
/ saw a man, and / was afraid
As l approached, I lost my fear;
AS came closer, / loved him,
For he was my brother.
