Sweetman of Sweetman Motors Ltd. will be the guests of Chrysler Corporation of Canada on a flight to London, England and Rome, Italy. ' They will take off in an Air Canada jet on Friday, May 17, destined for London England. From here a BEA jet will fly them to Rome. After sightseeing, and 2n- joying life in Rome with a number of other Chrysler re- presentatives, the Sweetmans will return to London for a three-day visit before coming back to Canada and Port Perry. Although this tour is an authorized dealer's privilege, Mr. Sweetman gives most of the credit to his salesman Jim "Heayn for making the trip possible. In the dealer zone of about 45 dealers which Sweetman Motors Ltd. belong, Jim Heayn proved to be the top salesman.

T0 BOOST "HOME SHOW" Star, Village Merchants Publish 2-Colour Edition Included in this week's is- sue of the Star is a "Home Show" edition advertising this first Port Perry event and a number of the Exhi- bitors taking part. An edition of this kind is nothing unusual, but for the first time in the history of this newspaper it is printed in two colours, black & red. In June 1967, the Star switched to a more advanced printing method which is normally referred to as off- set. The flexibility of this method has made it possible to introduce the two colour advertising and it is hoped that readers as well as ad- vertisers will enjoy the brighter look of the pages. In the meantime, manage- ment of the Arena and exhi- bitors are working hard to have everything in readiness for the opening at 6.30 p.m. on Thursday, May 16. 22 merchants and organi- zations in Port Perry are taking part in this show, and it is expected that this event will be as successful as the "Autorama Show" in October last year. Most of the merchants will have their own free draws every night, and refresh- ments can be had at the Arena booth. The "Home Show" will be open for three days, Thurs- day, Friday, Saturday, May 16, 17, 18. Cost Of Sewage Service $127.
