The long Holiday season, and particularly this year, when the Town Fathers have pro- claimed Monday and Tuesday, December 26th and 27th Public Holidays, makes it virtually im- possible to publish a newspaper. The next issue of the Star, published on December 22nd will be the last of the year, and the content will as in previous years be related to the Holiday Season. Anyne who wishes to public cize . or tween Christmas and New Year should have in mind that the last chance will be in the Dee. 22nd issue. Licence "Plates Moving Slowly Only 125 Sold Since iii 'per mits licence plates went on sale Dec- ember 1st, th demand for same has been: very light, Mr. Gordon Reesor, local issuer informed the Star on Tuesday morning. At that time only 125 plates of a possible 3,000 to 4,000 had been sold. */The purchasers will notice a change in the plates this year. They have been especially de- signed to mark the observance of Canada's Centennial. The lettering is white on a blue background with "19 Ontario 67" on the top, and "18 Con- federation 67" on the bottom of the plate. Licence numbers will. be separated by a crown instead of a dot as in previous years.

The only new member: of the next zouacil is Philip Orde, who has lived in Port Perry all his life, is a busi- nessman and respected citizen, should have no trouble filling the fifth position on Council. Reeve J. J. Gibson and deputy-reeve Bruce Beare were both acclaimed. Mi. Gibson is starting his 10th year as reeve of Port Perry, and Mr. Beare his first. Mr. Beare, however should be well qualified for the position, with a back ground of 5 years as councillor. Robt. Kenny, who topped. the polls and Irving Boyd, deputy-reeve for the past term, both with several years of experience are the fourth and fifth .members, and should help make a well balanced council. The three defeated candidates in the running should have no regrets. Two of the candidates Joseph*M7Frans- sen and Ken P. Murray made a first attempt and Orton Michie a second, but considering they were up against seasoned veterans, with several years of municipal ex- perience, the result was quite encouraging.

At the time the picure was taken. 30 patients were in the hospital, and this is. the absolute maximum the hospital can care for, Lack of space is also evident in the administrative section of the hospital. This can clearly be seen from the second picture at the top of the page. No mat- ter how efficient the staff may lack of workirg space will always be a detriment, whether it is a hospital any other type of business establishment.
