PAGE 16 TERRACE BAY NEWS SEPTEMBER 20, 1972 RESTRICTIONS RELAXED ON "OWN CHOICE" LICENCE PLATES Ontario motorists will now have a wider choice in selecting their "Own Choice" of licence plates with the relazation of the previously announced res- trictions on the use of the letters "G", "I", and av. Last month, the Ministry of Transportation and Communications announced that within certain limitations and for a fee of $25 above the normal registration fees, motorists would be able to request licence plates for passenger cars and station wagons displaying three letters and three numbers of their own choice. In response to public request, the Ministry of Transportation and Communications will now allow the letter "G" to be used in any position of the alpha section of the Own Choice plates, and the letters "I" and "Q" in either the first or second position. These letters were originally prohibited to elim- inate confusion with the letter "I" and the numeral one, the letter "G" with the letter "C" and the letter "Q" with a zero. The Special Plate office has received over 5,000 requests for the Own Choice plates, with most motorists requesting their initials, but one motorist who is obviously going to try harder re- quested a plate with the marking TWO-222. To increase the probability of receiving the licence of your own choice, applications should be sent in before October 1, 1972. : Own Choice plates can be reserved by writing the Special Plate Office, Ministry of Transportation and Communications, Ferguson Block, Queen's Park, Toronto 182, Ontario.
