Phyllis Butler of the Clinton office ex- plained that motor vehicle owners will not be not using the new system of renewing their licences on their birthdays until later this year and in 1984.

(Rhea l-lanrelt<en Outlet The Bangko fl has hit By Rod Hilts If you've noticed a lot of people com- plaining about feeling rotten and rundown due to sore throats, stuffy noses and stomach flu, it's probably because the area has been affected by a minor strain of the :::angkok flu. According to. Huron County, Medic Officer Harry Cieslar there Ls nuepidemic. "We have no documentation to show that there is an actual epidemic," said Dr. Cieslar. However Dr. Brian Baker of the Clinton Public Hospital says the number of people affected by the bug is the highest in four or five years. "The type of flu going around is very nasty and seems to be affecting more younger people than older ones," said Dr. aker. g office cars, private use I: r fat trucks and vans will be $4 a month starting January 1, to your birthdate. Motorcycle stickers wd ; cost $2 a month and stickers for mopeds 50 cents a month. Mrs. Butler noted that the new system has involved a great deal of work and study, particularly with the change to the online computer system_ She said that this change could produce longer lineups and waits at the Clinton office, particularly where vehicle transactions are involved. Under the new system, all vehicle transactions are done on computer ter- minals. The Ministry of Transportation and Communications, (MTC) in the January 5 News -Record story said that this would help to keep their files up-to- date and eliminate backlog and February lineups. However Mrs. Butler estimates that the computer transaction will take longer to complete. She said that instead of filling out a small form, transactions could take up to 20 minutes of paperwork for each owner. To put it simply, head to the Clinton licencing bureau today. You have until February 28th to purchase your new stickers, and Mrs. Butler has warned that that day will be hectic at her office. Next year the system will be different. We're a Cut Above!
