P. Bickell, Regist­ rar of Motor Vehicles, Department of Highways. Department officials recalled the warning of Premier Hepburn last February in his Budget address that the Government would refuse to grant extension of time for the securing of 1941 plates. At that time he said that henceforth licenses and permits were good for the calendar year only. Mr. Bickell in his announcement said “strong representations had been made to the department by intending purchasers of new motor vehicles, particularly new motor trucks, many of which were required immediately for use in the transportation of war materials and in connection with war­ time projects. In addition, it was pointed out that the new models of both cars and trucks were now on the market and immediate delivery would be made of such new equipment if the 1941 plates were released.” DOMINION STORES’ 21st ANNIVERSARY St. ham, was the scene of a pretty Octob­ er wedding at high noon on Tuesday, October 15th, when Cora Mae Phair, only daughter of Mr. Wm, Phair and the late Mrs. Phair, of Wingham, be­ came the bride of Mr. Donald Alex­ ander Robertson, of Mindemoya, son of Mrs. Janet Robertson and the late William Robertson, of Bluevale.
