council chambers the discussion in public on monday night that occurred between a ratepayer and the council of tha township of pickering concerning welfare administration issues within the

resounded with such verbal violence the reeve never one to be pushed into finalized decisions dis played we felt some illtimed toler ance in this matter and allowed the speaker to return a second volley of bitter beefs after the council had elected to end the argument the reeve may have broad shoul ders to withstand personal insults but what about the employee whose very mental capacities were ques tioned not once but several times the welfare administrator was not in attendance to defend his honour but will read all the dirty details when he picks up his paper later this week this is the worst but only part of the story such questionable con duct by a single solitary citizen tends to lower the dignity of the council office positions that are wor thy of respect the speaker was out of order in fact his entire subject matter was out of order we could not help but agree with councillor hubert wank who suggested that tha charges be redirected to the mem bers in the privacy of a committee and not aired in public no doubt ninetynine per cent of the electorate would appreciate the reeves desire to give every ratepayer a fair hearing there are always a few however who would take

that repre sentatives from his office had conducted interviews with 32 out of it persons on dole in the township and had found that in general the receipts were adequate he pointed out that certain aspects of allow ances and benefits could be questioned but suggested that these were matters of indivi dual judgment and policy that should be handled strictly from a local level out of the 32 cases reviewed 7 were questioned by the prov incial office and brought to the attention of the pickering wei fare administrator for recon sideration the majority of allowances did reach the maxi mum

some controversy it was quite impossible however to substantiate any allegations due to lack of evidence the writer continued the deputy minister suggest ed that due to the population figures in the township and the number oi pulcntial welfare cases in he municipality the council would be wise to con sider the addition of one full- time employee for the staff he noted that such a person could be used at least on a parttime basis during the year the council would be in the best position to assess this need he said we could as a conclusion to these eomrrc mention our favourable impressions on vari ous points which were noted such as prompt treatment of applications and close attention given to problematic situa tions he concluded throughout the entire letter there was only one point of direct criticism and that in volved the keeping of an up-to- date filing system on each re lief recipient it may be said that the oluye would be well adivsed to use the basic forms provided for the
