See story for details. Repair shop re-zoning rejected by councillors A re-zoning application for an auto repair shop on Highway 7A - west of Nestleton was turned down by Township council at the meeting November 3. The application was submitted by Harry Schillings, who now operates a business for repair of farm machinery and equipment. He was seeking the zoning change to allow him to repair private motor vehicles as well. Council was told that the appli- cant is getting requests from the farm community for work and ser- vice on their private vehicles, and & CARPET A sale not to be missed!

Jacobs Winter is now at our doorstep and the snow is right around the corner. But does this have any effect on P.P.H.S.? Of course not! The school rages even stronger with activity. On to sports... The senior girls basketball team and the junior girls basketball team played a double header last week against Donevan High School. The juniors won with a score of 55 to 32. The seniors also slaughtered their competition. Fundraising started on Wednes- day, Nov. 5. This year, fundraising is selling teddy bears and other assorted stuffed animals. They will make excellent Christmas gifts so buy some in support of your school. The grade 13 students are in the process of getting their first taste of post high school education by atten- ding tours of their chosen Universities. With Remembrance Day this Tuesday, the Legion is sponsoring a writing contest. All entries had to be in Monday, Nov. 10. The subjects were, "Why I should remember Canada's War Dead," '"'What is Canada's role in peacekeeping to- day?' "Our heritage - relate Canada's servicemen and women to it" and "The poppy - what do I know about it." May we all remember the efforts and sacrifices made to keep our beautiful country what it is today. Air band sign ups began this Mon- day. This year's performances pro- mise to be unforgettable. - Citrus sales were wrapped up last week. They were a fantastic success. Different organizations also met this past week. Some of these are L.S.C.F., the float club and the Curl- ing Club. A reminder there was an At-Home meeting this past Monday. The At-Home committee (Leisa James, Karri Townsend) are work- ing hard to make this year's At- Home a most outstanding occasion. Commencement, which was held last Friday, was a momentous suc- cess.

But Barry has no intention of chang- ing the name. "The name Eleanor's has been around so long it's almost like a Barry said. "People know and accept it, and [ don't want to change it." He has made a few cosmetic changes to the store, but nothing drastic. The big change, he says, is the increased amount of silk flowers now in stock. Basically, though, Barry will con-, tinue Eleanor's tradition of beautiful arrangements for special occasions like weddings, funerals, anniver- saries, school proms -- anything that flowers are needed for. "I'll do anything, almost," Barry says. Barry comes to the flower business with a wealth of experience and education. From working in various garden centres as a teenager, he has added a hor- ticulture diploma from the Ontario Agricultural College in Guelph, cer- tificate from the Toronto School of Floral Design, and valuable ex- perience from floral shops in Ux- bridge and Markham. He says he enjoyed working in other areas but he has always nourished a hope of running his own establishment right here in downtown Port Perry. "I've always wanted to open in Port Perry. I just like the small town atmosphere better," he says. "You get to know your clientele and what to expect from them. Also, you know what they like." Kiddies car seats must be anchored The Honourable John C. Crosbie, Minister of Transport, recently an- nounced that vehicle manufacturers will be required to provide rear tether anchorages for child car seats, effective in January 1989. "This regulation,'"' said Mr. Crosbie, 'addresses the public's concern about the difficulties of in- stalling a tether anchorage in a car. It's one of the public's main con- cerns about proper use of car seat restraints.' Transport Canada surveys have confirmed that an unanchored tether strap is the major cause of improper child car seat installation. The presence of a visible and con- ~ venient anchorage will ensure that the public will use the tether strap, which holds a child car seat securely in place. Manufacturers will have the op- tion of installing the anchorage hardware, providing it with the vehicle or making it available to the customer. The anchorage can be a plain hole, a threaded hole, or a combination hardware anchorage. Some vehicle manufacturers already offer anchorages as stan- dard equipment on their cars. Transport Canada is publishing a brochure that lists new cars sold with tether anchorages. Brochures may be requested by writing to Road Safety and Motor Vehicle Regulation, Transport Canada, Ot- tawa, Ont. K1A ONS, or by phoning 613-998-1979.
