The Wingham Advance-Times, 1964-01-30, Page 8Page 8 -- Wingham Advance -Times, Thursday, Jan. 30, 1964 Na Extension on Licence TORONTO --Hon. Irwin Has- kett, Ontario's Minister of Transport, stated in the Legis- lature Monday that the mailing of all 21 million application forms for the new Ontario dri- ver's licence, has now been completed. It is believed that this is the largest personal maile ing ever undertaken in Ontario. Working around the clock, De- partmental staffers sent out 00, 000 application forms adav for a period of almost eight weeks. Mr, Baskett emphasized in a mailing operation of this magnitude it is inevitable that some motorists for various rea- sons will not have received their forms. Drivers who have not received their applications are urged to go to their nearest licence issuing office immedi- ately and complete a special form, or write direct to the Ontario Department of Trans- port, Parliament Buildings, Tor- onto. Essential information re- quired includes the number of the 1;u33 driver's licence; whether it is an operator's or a chauffeur's licence; and the full name, address and birth- date. Motorists who have received their application forms should go to the nearest issuing office without delay so that a new licence may be issued, the Minister advised. For the new driver's licence which will be valid for periods of up to three years, it was stressed that the new type of application form _nust be used --either one received through the mail or the special form available through local issuing offices. Deadline for obtaining new drivers' licences is February 28 and it is the responsibility of the individual driver to get his licence by that date, Mr. Has- kett stated. Passenger car and motor- cycle licence plates for 1964 have been on sale since Decem- ber 2 but have been purchased by only about 30 per cent of Ontario's motorists, said Mr. Haskett. Although the expiry date is February 28 and no ex- tension will be granted, over a million Ontario automobiles are still carrying 1963 plates, the Minister remarked. He re- mindedmotorists that they e y should secure their '64 plates and their driver's licence as soon as possible to avoid the in- convenience of last minute line-ups. Last year's plates for trucks, buses and trailers expire March 31 and no extension is contem- plated. Yearly plates for 1'904 go on sale on March 2 and are valid until March 31, 1305. As the new system of quarterly licensing introduced last year has won popular acceptance among commercial operators and pritiate trailer owners, it will be continued this year and plates for the first quarter will be available on March 25. Engage Forbes on Permanent Basis By W. E. Elliott GODERICII—The Emergency Measures committee of 1903 recommended to county coun- cil that the co-ordinator, W. Stuart Forbes, he engaged on a permanent basis, with salary increased to $5, 000, effective Jan. 1, 1904. (He was employ- ed last July on a probationary basis for six months). Council approved the recommendation, The appointment is subject also to approval of Ontario FMO. Last year's chairman, Reeve Milton Oesch of Zurich, pre- sented the report. "Our future endeavour," Mr. Forbes told council, "is direct- ed to co-ordinating each municipality within the coun- ty into a functional emergency body, embracing all those who can he useful, and it is my pur- pose to have this plan in work- ing order as soon as circum- stances and budget permit. With your continued interest I believe we will he in position to cope with any emergency." Mr. Forbes announced that Volume 1, Survival Plan, Hur- on County, has been complete- ly printed and partly distribut- ed, "It is a condensed version, for each department," he ex- plained, "of two very large books I gave the chairman last year. It will enable those interested to find out what their responsibilities will be. These are based on Bylaw 55, passed in 1962. "Our meeting of the civil emergency planning group took place on the 9th, and I feel we are well on the way to produc- ing a working plan for safety. The mutual aid plan for fire is going on satisfactorily, but not as rapidly as expected, due to many factors that must be re- solved. "Brig. Clift, retired, has consented to be our military officer, and we are fortunate indeedin having a man ofhis g ability. He was offered the top post in the Emergency Measures Organization of Ontario, but declined for personal reasons, and of course that is our gain. "I have noticed in other counties the co-ordinator writes all the plans and submits them for approval, but I think the heads of planning should write their own plans, as con- ditions differ from township to township."

Oueen Approves New RCAF Badge Air Materiel Command Headquarters has announced that her Majesty the Queen has graciously approved the unit badge for the RCAF's 6 Repair Depot. The badge design is based upon the phoenix, a mythical bird which consumed itself on a funeral pyre and rose again with renewed youth and vigour to complete another life cycle. The golden phoenix rising from flames symbolizes the new life given to materiel at the repair depot and the ingots represent the basic materials used in the refurbishing processes. The motto may be translated as "Nothing is beyond our repair". Based at Trenton, Ont. since its formation in February, 1940, 6 Repair Depot is the RCAF's only unit where officers and airmen may gain experience in extensive repair and overhaul procedures. Over the years the depot's role has changed from that of a repair facility to that of a school teaching advanced in- dustrial processes and manage- ment techniques and producing valuable repair work as a by- product. The depot handles about five per cent of the RCAF's total repair and over- haul work. The rest goes to civilian industry. Kitchener Curlers Win Laundry Spiel Appointments to Hospital Boards By W. E. Elliott GODERICH--Council approv- ed pproveed appointment of five county representatives on hospital boards, All are the same as in 1963: Iohn Longstaff to Scott Memorial, Seafortt; John V. Fischer to Wingham Hospital; John Schaefer to Goderich Hos- pital; Beecher Menzies to Clin- ton Public Hospital, and Jack Delbridge to South Huron, Exe- te r. Reeve Glenn Fisher, Exeter, asked for the story on the his- tory of the County of Huron, undertaken by James Scott sev- eral years ago. "Nine chapters have been typed for the publishers," Clerk - treasurer John Berry reported, "and I hope to find out from Dr. Tatman (University of Western Ontario) how it is getting on." "There has been a lot of history since the original story was written," remarked Reeve Fisher. "We are going to have to have a second edition if we do not get out the original." Reeve Morgan Agnew, of Clinton, noting that it was dif- ficult to hear some of those who addressed council, enquir- ed about a public address sys- tem. "It was discussed a year or two ago, investigated and thought too expensive", recall- ed Mr. Berry, "but if it is the wish of council we can reopen the matter." Warden Jewell suggested that it would be an appropriate mat- ter for the property committee. If you don't want your child- ren tc hear what you're saying , pretend you're talking to them. Walter Bentley and his Kit- chener Granite Club foursome won the Western Foundry bon - spiel staged at the local curling rink last Wednesday, The an- nual event was highly success- ful and the winners walked off with the handsome Foundry trophy when they chalked up three wins and a plus of 12 to head the early draw. In the same draw Ron Adams of Wroxeter was in second place with two and ten followed by Norm Rintoul of Wingham with two and nine. Consolation went to Bob Hetherington of Wingliam. In the eleven o'clock draw Bill Vanstone of Brantford and his quartette came close to top honours when they took first place with three wins and a plus of eleven. Tammy Stev- enson of Chesley took second prize with two wins and a plus of eleven. In third spot was Jack Bateson of Wingham with two and eight. J. F. Haw- thorne of London won the con- solation.

"I say, officer!" he said, excitedly, "my car's just been stolen from here." "My word, sir„ that's fortu- nate for you!" the policeman replied stolidly. "Half an hour ago I was going to give you a ticket for parking on the wrong side of the road!" Plowmen's Assoc. Was Organized 40 Years Ago GODERICH—L. E. Cardiff, MP for Huron, and Simon Hal- lahan, Blyth, appeared at county council for the Huron Plowmen's Association, of which Mr, Cardiff is secretary. He estimated that a grant of $500 to cover expenses would be adequate. "We need at least $700 or $800 all the time if we intend to have a plowing match," he said, ",Expenses, prize money and everything add to about $000. The fact that we have been in operation 40 years .this year is evidence we have done very well. "As regards the international match (in 1966) the county has given us $500 as a loan the last two years. This has been altnolt all spent. I do not think we will need any more text year, because a lot of equipment for advertising will ee on hand." Commissions are not paid on arguments won, but on sales made.
