We started off by reporting that L. Harry Inkpen bad been choser by the Whitby Chamber 0f Commerce as the recipient of, the Peter Perry Award for 1984. The chamber cited Ink- pen for bis 30 years of service to the Town of Whitby. Not only was he a member of Whitby Town Council during the early 1960's but he also served a. term as president of the Branch 112 of the Royal Canacian Legion.

A member 0f the Masonic Ledge, he rose to the rank of District Deputy Grand Master. He 18 also a lay leader of Ail Saints' Anglican Church. Whitby Durham Board 0f Education Trustee John Buchanan also created quite a stir when he suggested that the board refuse to approve any new sub- division agreements in Whitby. Buchanan put forward the measure because the Ontario Ministry 0f Education wasn't providing any additional funds for the building of new schools. The trustee said tbat new ., subdivisions shouldn't be approved because the board could not bouse any new students in Witby scbools. His proposai dies a few weeks later after loud and angry protests were heard flot only from other board members but from local and regional officiais as weil who bad made growtb olie of their top priorities for the year. Scott Fenneil also an- nounced that he would be seeking renomination as tbe Progressive Conser- vative party's candidate in Riding 0f Ontario for the tben anticipated federal election.

Whitby council's ad- ministrative committee also got it.s first look at tbe newly research municipal bousing statement wbicb called for the construction of 305 assisted bousing unuts between 1984 and 1987. The statement also cailed on tbe town to establisb its own non- profit municipal bousing corporation if not enougb private sec- tor support could be found for tbe development of geared- to income- and sub- sidized housing. During February, Coun. Ross Batten proposed that the town enact an exotic animal control bylaw that would probibit tbe lkeeping of mnales, ferrets and larger cats in Whitby homes. Bat- ten said that many of the people who keep these animaIs do not know bow to care for them properly and many of tbem die horrible deatbs.
