The Wingham Advance-Times, 1963-11-28, Page 20Page 2 -- Wingharn Advance-Trrnrs, Thursday, Nov. 28, 1963 Every Ontario driver will be getting these in the mail soon from -the Ontario Department of Transport—his personal application form for a new driver's licence, and a leaflet explaining how the new system will work. The driver's name is printed on the form, along with the date his particular licence will expire, the amount of his fee and other information. NEW SYSTEM HAS TAKEN TIME Application Cards Soon Ready If you have a driver's licen- ce, your name will soon be spelled out on a foot -long card by a high-speed printing ma- chine in Toronto. This card will be your personal applica- tion form for your next licence, and it will be the first step in Ontario's new system of three- year drivers' licences. Sometime between now and the end of January, you will get the card in the mail. You can obtain your new driver's licence by filling out the application, enclosing your money and eith— er taking it to your local issu- ing office or mailing it to the Ontario Department of Trans- port, Toronto. When will you get your ap- plication form? How long will your new licence be valid? How much will you have to pay? All these things depend on your birth -date. Transport Minister Irwin Haskett outlined the pro- cedure in a preview of how the new system will work. NEW SYSTEM If your birthday is in January, you can expect to receive your form very soon.

LOCATED EAST OF LUCKNOW ON HIGHWAY 86 Year's; if it is in the final months of the year, you'll get your form later in January. The application forms are being mailed in the chronological or- der of the drivers' birthdays. Your licence will be valid for more than one year. The expiry date will be printed on it. If your birthday is between the 1st and the 19th, the ex- piry date will be on your birth- day in 1965. If your birthday is from the 20th of the month onward, the expiry date will be on your birthday in 1966. THE COST "The annual licence fee re- mains the same, at $2, per year," Mr. Haskett said. "The amount will be calculated ac- cording to the length of time each licence is valid." For example: If yourbirth- date is June 12, your licence will be valid for about a• year and a half — all of 1964 and up until June 12, 1965 — and your fee will be $3.00. If your birth -date is November 22, your licence will be valid for all of 1964 and 1965 and up un- til November 22, 1966 — and your fee will be $5.80. Why aren't the licences be- ing sent out all at once? Simp- ly because there are two and a half million of them. Even with machines printing and mailing the cards at the rate of nearly one every second, and operating 24 hours a day, it will take two full months to get them out. To get ready for the simple operation of printing your card and mailing it to you the per- sonnel of the Department of Transport has been working full - tilt for nearly a year and a hall: At the same time they have been looking after such details as changes in address. And with so many drivers involved, this is no small chore — change -of - address forms have been receiv- ed eceiveed in a volume as heavy as 3,000 per day, THE REASON "Sheer volume made it es- sential to switch to a mechaniz- ed system of processing drivers' licences, " Mr. Haskett said. ' "Once the transition to the new system has been made, with licences being renewed on birth - dates all through the year, we will be processing applications for drivers' licences at the rate of about 80, 000 a month.This is much more efficient than handling all two and a half million licences in a two to three month period each year." "The three-year term of the licence will result in a measure of greater convenience for driv- ers, too. "The mechanized methods make it possible to keep more complete files, resulting in bet- ter control over suspended driv- ers, better facilities for re- search, and other improvements in the interests of the safety of all drivers in the province." Mr. Ilaskett said the first step in conversion was to make out punch -cards for every driv- er, and this began in December of last year. It was probably the biggest changeover to date in Canada, and at one time there were 65 key-punch oper- ators on the job. e'�►`�law .° 'i '' ' Aue 0:14 mcDonaid's • Adorn her at Christmas with the nicest new blouses, lingerie, sabre slims that ever went under a tree.
