With the coming of February lo

At one time on Saturday when the
office of Mr, Grant was filled with a
long line in waiting a truck driver
from the north presented himself
with a bag of coppers and those in
line had visions of a long wait while
the coppers were being counted out.
The driver explained that he had
been unprepared for the emergency
when traffic officer Wm, Robinson
had insisted on “1935 plates before
leaving town.” An -obliging friend
came to the rescue and counted the
coins which totalled four hundred.
‘The impatient crowd breathed a isigh
of relief. Mr. Grant has received
his second supply of commercial
plates and he lias almost exhausted
the supply of “BJ” markers and the
next lot which he now has in stock7
will be “BN” starting lat 200,
