EDIGHOFFERS (Wingham) Limited THE FRIENDLY STORE Phone 357-2320 IF YOU BUY, SELL TRADE, HIRE OR RENT The Hon. Irwin Haskett, Minister of Transport, warns that if Ontario motorists do not get their licence plates soon the last-minute line-ups will be more acute than usual, "Only 30.6 per cent of the plates and permits have been isued so far, compared with 35.2 per cent a year ago, toe Minister said, The local office, located at the home of Donald McKay, 295 Leopold Street, reports that 576 plates had been issued by Thursday night of last week, 57 less than during the same period in 1965. Plates for about 2,200 vehicles will be issued from this office by deadline time, February 28, which means that only 26.13 per cent had been sold here by last Thurs' day. The average number of plates issued yearly in Wingham is about 3,000. The local office is open from 9 a.m. to 12 and 1 p.m, to 5 o'clock six days a week. The Department of Trans- Toboggan Party BELGRAVE-The pupils and teacher of S. S. No. 5 Morris, and some of the parents, enjoy- ed a toboggan party on Friday. They tobogganed on the hills on the farm of Clarence Yuill and then went to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Procter where they had a sing-song and a soc- ial time. The mothers and the teach- er provided lunch of sandwiches, tarts, coffee and chocolate. There were about 33 present. Dist. Gunnar Visits Lions Club It was announced at Tuesday night's Lions Club meeting that the annual meeting of the On- tario Society for Crippled Child- ren will be held in Toronto on Wednesday, February 23. Lions who wish to go should contact the secretary no later than Sat- urday, February 12. Deputy-District Governor Tom MacMillan of Exeter paid his official visit to the club. Two representatives of the National Film Board, Bill Nem- tin and Larry Mitchell, were guests. Mr. Nemtin spoke on the activities of the National Film Board, currently on a tour of this area to promote the use of films and assist organiza- tions in securing films for their activities. A film "Gone Cur- ling" was shown, The next meeting will be the club's public speaking con- test. The contest is open to students from grades 9 to 13, inclusive, (ages 13 to 20). W. R. HAMILTON OPTOMETRIST Josephine Street WINGHAM FOR APPOINTMENT Phone 357-1361 port has announced that there will be no extension on the Feb- ruary 28 deadline. Motorists would be wise to get their plates before the last few days of February, especially those from the rural area, for a last- minute snowstorm could prove very inconvenient. Bell Telephone Predicts Higher Phone Rates Telephone rates in Wingham may be increased within the next two years, K. R. Wither- den, Bell Canada manager for this area, announced last week. The Bell Canada manager explained that all telephone exchanges are classified into established rate groups, depend• ing on the number of telephones that can be reached without long distance charges. Twice each year Bell Canada is re- quired to report to the Board of Transport Commissioners for Canada (which regulates rates for all Bell-served communi- ties) those exchanges whose to- tal telephones have outgrown the limits of their respective groups. "Our present forecast indi- cates that Wingham will out- grow its present rate group in 1967," Mr. Witherden said, Should Bell Canada's pre- diction come true, new rates for Wingham would likely be placed in effect late in 1967. Mr. Witherden pointed out, however, that if Wingham re- groups through its own normal growth, the number of tele- phones permitted in its new group would be considerably larger. Shortly after, toll-free calling to Lucknow could be provided without further in- crease in cost. CGIT Meeting BELGRAVE- The C. G. I. T. met last Wednesday in the church school rooms.
