Under the new schedule, 1978 registration fees for all privately- owned passenger cars and motorcycles in the northern half of the province have been reduced to $10. For vehicle registration pur- poses, "Northern Ontario" means that part of the province consisting of the territorial districts of Algoma, Cochrane, Kenora, Manitoulin, Parry Sound, Rainy River, Sudbury, Thunder Bay, Timiskaming, and the portion of the territorial district of Nipissing lying north and west of Algonquin Provincial Park, The Minister added that an amendment to the commercial motor vehicle fee schedule is also being prepared to allow northern Ontario residents to purchase their 1978 annual registration for vans and pickup trucks of 5,000 pounds or less for the same fee as passenger cars -- $10, providing the applicants sign a personal declaration that such vehicles are used primarily for recreational purposes and private transportation. Under the amendment, passenger car registration fees can also apply to all commercial motor vehicles anywhere in Ontario with a vehicle weight of Choose plant and weather Impulse buying sells many houseplants during the winter months, but this impulse may kill them, says R.A. Fleming, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food horticulturist. Mr. Fleming says rapid changes in temperature, freezing, a long wait at the supermarket, or even• the trip from the store to the car may chill or kill many types of tender houseplants. When buying a plant in the winter, Mr, Fleming says it is wise to choose the weather as carefully as you choose the plant. A mild day with little wind, sunny, if possible, is the best. Plants should be thoroughly wrapped before leaving the store and should be moved to the car very quickly. The car should be heated, and parked as close to the store as possible. When the plant is taken in- doors, unwrap it carefully and allow it to acclimatize in a cool, dimly lit room for a few hours'. "Then choose its location carefully, away from drafts, heat registers, and frosty windows." If you are on a lengthy shop- ping trip Mr. Fleming suggests you purchase the plant last or select a shop that will deliver it. 5,000 pounds or less. Again a personal declaration must accompany the application, "Switching their registration could also mean a saving for the owners of light-weight com- mercial vehicles in southern Ontario, depending on the number of cylinders," said Snow. The 1978 registration fee for mopeds and trailers remains unchanged at $5, as does the $10 fee for snowmobiles and historic vehicles. The fee is the same in northern and southern Ontario.
