Welcome to Mr. Gordon Flewell of Port Perry, Mr. Harris Coleran of Uxbridge and Mr. Charles Peacock of Oshawa, We hope you will be happy here with us. This week the staff had their monthly meeting. Even though it was a nasty Thurs- day, a goodly number turned out. Five of the staff are going to attend a course in occupational therapy for a week at Whitby Psychiatrie Hospital. We are hoping to start a volunteer group to help the residents with arts and crafts. If anyone is in- terested in this type of hobby please let us know. Some of the residents were busy making Valentine Dec- orations for the walls. On Friday night the Rev. Rose from Port Perry and Blackstock Anglican Church, came and gave us a very Werner's Service Center RR. $4/PORT PERRY /905-7162 Like mileage: around 27 mpg Velkswagen craftsmanship And dependability So when you get a 41] you get a big ar without getting any big car problems Because remember. even though it says 411 on the back, VW4iIl it still says @ on the front Then Joy Panabaker play- ed "The Blue Danube Waltz" very ably on the piano.

After the concert we were presented with a nice linen handkerchief each and a de- licious snake of various kinds of homemade cookies includ- ing Valentine cookies, tea & orange juice. We sure appreciated Mrs. Lague and the girls sharing their evening with us. "No Generation Gap" here. Thank- you 3rd Company Girl Guid- es. Mr. Fred DeNure payed us a welcome visit last week. It was certainly great seeing him and getting good reports about his wife too. He looks real well. Mrs. Kennedy went to her home on Monday for the afternoon. Glad to see Annie Stevens is much improved this week. We wish to thank all the conscientious staff for com- ing to look after us in all this bad weather. Mrs. Bak- er, one of the cooks in the kitchen came by Skidoo on Sunday about 14 miles. That's real spirit. Many of the staff were here for 2 days un- able to get home. It certain- ly comforting to us to know that they are interested enough in us to make this effort. Thought for the week: "Giving pleasure to others redoubles your own". ea BF oa Fe i e i i F : i 7 28k H 5 sf rfil} i t => g = ° = "93 ~ Lane, and ordinary little sto- ries with happy endings." We agree with Mrs. Ber- rill and have enjoyed reading a couple of her "samples," the first to be published in this week's Star. It is headed "Of Facts and Fantasy" and will be followed by other stories from her hand. We beliéve you will en- joy Mrs. Berrill's warm hearted and interesting short stories. Sale Up The issuer expects to sell approximately 3,500 by the deadline February 27 and an additional 500 during the balance of 1971. "The sale of licences has been very encouraging this year," Mr. Reesor told the Star, "if we only get more moderate weather, | believe we are going to see a much brisker sale in the next few days." Deadline for driving with 1970 plates is midnight, Sat- urday, February 27... . a day earlier than last year. Driving with 1970 plates will be illegal on Sunday, February 28. The 1971 plates for pass- enger cars, station wagons and motorcycles have been on sale at all issuing offices through- out Ontario since December 1, 1970, During the first nine mon- ths of 1970, more than 6,000 motorists were convicted of driving without current year plates affixed to their vehi- cles. The majority of these offences occurred shortly aft- er last year's February 28th deadline for new plates. The penalty, on conviction, is a fine of not less than $20 and not more than $100, KEN P.
