One of these goes into effect on April 1st and could be costly to the Star unless we adhere to the regulation. From that day on, the Star will have to pay 8 cents postage on all copies more than three months in arrears. As the subscribers well real- ize, the Star has been lenient and co-operative, and many have been given longer time to pay for the subscription than the new regulations now permits. Hundreds of subscribers at the moment are several months in arrears, and unless they are paid up before April 1st, the cost to the Star could become considerable. Please check your label, and make payment before April 1st in order to avoid removal of your name on the mailing list.

Maternity Hours 3 to 8 p.m. April 1st Deadline According to a letter from the Port Perry Fire Depart- ment read in Council at the last regular meeting, Reach, be without fire protection as of April 1. Only the purchase of a new tank truck by the two town- ships can avoid the protective service to be discontinued. The Fire Department apparently has no intention of going back on their demand, but insists that a 1,600 gallon truck be purchased, and specifications be laid down by the fire department. This" highly important issue was discussed between ing on Friday night, and again it was agreed and decided that the purchase of a ne truck was not necessary. Reach, Scugog Without Fire Protection When the Star asked Scugog Township reeve, Cecil Fralick what the outcome of the meeting was, he said, "it is wrong to say we are against purchasing a tank truck.' "We just don't believe it is neces- sary to go to the great exp- ense of buying a brand new truck. It's the feeling of the council members that a good used, serviceable truck would be sufficient for the intended purpose," Mr. Fralick said. "We are well aware of the importance of good fire prot- ection, and the disasters that could occur without it. For this reason another meeting with members from both townships and Port Perry councils will be held on Thurs] day, March 20, (tonight), to further discuss the question, and make attempt to reach a solution agreeable to all parts concerned," the reeve conc- luded. The Star directed the same question to Reach Township reeve, Ed (Sam) Oyler, who generally expressed the same opinion as the Scugog reeve. Replying to the question regarding the possibility of no fire protection as of April 1, Mr. Oyler did not believe the firemen would take such a drastic step before'a sol- ution was found to settle this vital question. The Firemen held a meet- ing 'Monday night to \{urther discuss the jssue, and abgord- ing to Fire Chief Halgey, Mahaffy, the firemen un imously agreed to stick to t April 1 date as far as leav- ing the townships without fire protection.
