"1 would very much like," said Councillor - elect Ross Deakin, '"'to have the same Council as in 1961. We would accomplish a great deal -- as _ we have in the past."

He hoped that the retir- ing members would be able to serve in some capacity during the next term. Councillor-elect Milton Mow- bray expressed his disappoint- ment that he would not be work- ing with all the members of 1961 Council. He said that al- though they had not always agreed, when they had dis- agreed, "'we have done so over a very good reason -- no strong personal feeling, but a point of what the proper thing should be done." mr Deakin related that no disagreements had been taken cutside the Council Chambers. in his parting address Coun- cillo: Clifford Laycox commend- ed Reeve Scott, Clerk L. T. Johnston, and congratulated the press for its coverage of the meetings during the year. His interest, he said, still lies with municipal government.

Deputy Reeve Edgar James James said that he would miss the association of members of Counci! -- with the Planning Board, Parks Board, Conserva- tiur Authority, and other inter- esting associations. "With this year's Council there has probably been the best fellowship of any Council I have worked with," said Mr. James, who said that he had no alter- native but to retire from public office because of poor health. He said chat he would always like to serve in the community, but 'not as I did last year." "Ye last couple of years have meant a lot to me," said Coun- cillu: Harry Boyes.

MISS ELSA STORY Councillor Ross Deakin asked that the 1962 Pickering Town- ship Council pass a bylaw or resolution that in the absence of the Bylaw Enforcement Officer, the Pickering Township Police be authorized to enforce all matters. Councillor Deakin made the recommendation at the last meeting of 1961 on Dec. 28 Said Councillor Mowbray: "As far as bylaw enforcement is concerned there are certain bylaws which are not appropri- ate for police." This matter stemmed from a ludicrous situation in which a found herself in the basement staring up the stairs at a big dog which had invaded her kitchen. She was too frightened to ascend. Her household found the Bylaw Enforcement Officer was on vacation, and the Dog Catcher not available at the moment. They contacted police, who refused to assist. Eventually the family took the intruder to the dog pound, but felt that this should be the duty of the police, since they were paying taxes for police protection. "T don't think we could get the police. mixed up in dog -- the Reeve remark-) ed. Councillor .

Reville, QC, of Brant- ford. The Union Agreement covers employees of the Pickering Township Road 5 gedaan and Works Department. The grievance concerned aa job postings in the Works De- partment, for which four em- ployees of the road department, Earl Pilkey, William Davis, George McKenzie, and Archie Rainville, considered their ap- plications should. be considered in preference since they were higher pay rated jobs. The Judge found Article 15 of the agreement which dwelt on seniority, difficult to interpret, but concluded that the agree- ment definitely had the intent of including two separate de- partments, with seniority bene- \fits according to occupations. He stated that the Corpora- tion had set up two separate and district departments, both as to location, function, and classification of employees. "In effect," His Honor inter- preted, "The Corporation has established two separate heir- atchies, the classification of whose employees are not inter- changeable,"" the National| The Union argued that unit- |wide seniority shall prevail in) eco matter of promotion and transfers, but the Board felt |that it must adopt the argu- ment of Mr. H._ Elliott, Town- ship Solicitor, that these words are merely descriptive and in themselves confer no seniority rights on members of the bar- gaining unit, ADDED ATTRACTION Love 'em and Leave 'em Laftin' in Bagdé LEO GoRCEY - HUNTZ HALL ~™ BOWERY Boys 'taey to Bagdad" ss "TheLadylsASquare'& 'Jet Storm' ie be cei on fi ADDED COMEDY HIT § FEATURE TIMES! 1:50 " 345 : et - 7:45 -- Lest Show 9:20 ADULT | ENTERTAINMENT You Can WIN...
