—t | , Ottawa lad collects - old licence plates _ OTTAWA (CP)-—-The Harold Bermans live in an apartment with a conversation-piece entrance hall. Mounting-boards on one of its walls hold copies of every On- tario licence plate ever issued— from a 1906 solid rubber plate to the newest 1962 metal alloy. Also on display racks are plates from each of the 50 states of the United States. They're all part of the 600- plate collection owned by the Bermans’ 17-year-old son Jef- frey, one of 15 Canadian mem- bers of the Automobile Licence Plate Collectors Association, a U.S, ~- based organization with members in several European and Asian countries. ; Jeffrey, a Grade 12 technical school student who moved here recently with his family from Downsview in Metropolitan To- ronto, started his collection in 1957, “T was walking through a va- cant lot when I came across 4 1956 licence plate,’ he said. “I decided to see how many more I could collect. enthusiastic about their son’s hobby. — Jeffrey gets most of his plates as gifts and by trading with other collectors. He also writes for sample plates to motor ve- hicle registration offices in Can- ada, the United States and Eur- ope. A windfall came just before he moved from Downsview. “A man asked me if I needed any Ontario plates. He said he saved all of them, from the first one ever issued.” And he had. As well as the rubber plate, in use from 1906 to 1910, there was a bright bluc 1911 plate made of solid proce- lain.

LAKE—Our son Hugh, Josie and the four child- ren caught the Sunday morning ferry and drove down to Ootsa Lake to visit the Durbans for the day. Fortunately Bill had a call to deliver a boatload of groceries and gas to Alan Black- well’s Fishing Carp on the Big Eutsuk, so he asked Hugh and young Richard to go along for the trip. They travelled a hun- dred miles altogether in Bill’s cabin boat, up Ootsa Lake, down Whitesail River and into Whitesail Lake. They walked across the portage. At the Forks the lake is eight miles wide and. it was really rough with waves breaking over the cabin and it was impossible to see shore part of the time. te he & We were to have a fine big new dock for boats and planes here at fhe Landing this year, but owing to the austerity pro- gram we will have to wait for a while. rk b& + We had Dr. Ron and Betty Waddell. Frank and baby Bill staying on the ranch camp grounds for two nights this week. With them were Mr. and Mrs. Fred Roach of North Vancou- ver. Mrs. Roach and Mrs. Wad- dell are sisters. Young Frank has stayed with us twice be- fore but we had not met four and a half months old Bill be- fore. He was obviously enjoying his first camping trip. When in the store one morning Dr. A. Gray of Prince George called in at the store and was surprised to meet his friend Ron Waddell who had dinner with him in Prince Rupert only a short while ago. i a We have had several heavy rains recently but fortunately all were during the night. Al- though the weather isn’t as nice as we would like, it has been pleasant on the whole and the fishing has been good. re We had Mr. and Mrs. W. Ellk- ins, Janet and Peter staying in the Ferry Cottage for two nights. Young Peter managed to slip off the raft and fall into the water fully clothed. which happens quite often to the youngsters. but fortunately this happened just before the family was leav- ing for home in Prince Rupert. | tied He fe Our watchdog, Niggecr, is get- ting quite old and we need an- other younger dog to take her place some day.
