Lifetime licence plates at last

Motor vehicle plates good enough
to last a car’s lifetime will become a
reality in British Columbia in 1973.

A successful test, on a two-year
basis, of longer term plates has led to
the decision to follow the lead Britain
set in the motoring world many years

_ ago.

As a result this province is ex-
pected to be the first in Canada to issue
lifetime plates. Ontario, which has had
three-year plates, is moving up to a
five-year type, and may eventually

follow B.C.'s suit.

Because they have to last an
automotive’s lifetime, the new plates
will be heavier and contain a high
content of aluminum to resist rust.

The benefits in cost ‘and con-
venience will be considerable, as_
anyone can testify who has tried to
remove plates clamped to the car by
rusty nuts and bolts.

With years to practice it may even
become possible for every motorist to
memorize his licence numbers,
something that defies some very clever
people.

UNICEF Christmas cards mean much to many in need

BY NADINE ASANTE
There is a wise old Canadian
proverb dating back to 1971
which says, “He who still shops
for commercial Christmas
cards is a person of very small
soul.”

‘How anyone who is aware of
the hunger and misery in most
parts of the world can continue
to buy the tinselled, artificiality
of commercial Christmas cards
is almost beyond compre-
hension when ecards.

which help to relieve suffering -

are available.

The purchase of commercial
cards does no more than make
fleecier the inside of the already
well-lined pockets of card
manufacturers to whom the
spirit of Christmas is nothing
more than profit from card
sales.

Sure the commercial - cards
are pretly...somutimes a heck
of a lot prettier than the cards
designed by a mentally
retarded child from B.C., a
leper from India or a deformed
youngster from some African
village whose art werk is
depicted on the face of the cards
sponsored hy such
organizations as UNICEF.
(United Nations International
Children's Education
Foundation) or the B.C,
Association for the Menjally
Retarded.

But so is a full belly prettier
than hunger; a whole body
prettier than a small body
wracked with disease; and an
alert mind prettier than a
vacant stare.

The Terrace Library has an
assortment of 20 different,
UNICEF cards for sale ranging
in price from $1.50 to $2.50 for a
box of ten... The cards. are
attractive, . colorful, have
variety and embrace a simple
message which says what is
needed on a Christmas

card....Merry Christmas and -

Happy New Year.

The Library has sold
UNICEF cards for the past
three years and the response of
Terracites has been good to the
point of a complete sellout each
year.
