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!

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.
