Each of the three candidates feels equally sure FIVE MAY RUN By PETER 00MEN of The Times Staff PICKERING -- As many as five persons may enter a wide- open race for the position of reeve in Pickering Township With the municipal election less than three months away, most possible candidates are still reluctant to take a firm stand. However, a Times' sur- vey indicates a lively battle for the positions of reeve, deputy reeve and five ward council- lors. Reeve Clifford Laycox said he is doubtful at this time whether he will run for the top spot which he has held for the past four years. ss Mr. Laycox said develop: ments in the next week would decide whether he will contest the position of reeve. Mr. Lay- cox, in addition to two terms as reeve, served as councillor for two years. pears to be Deputy Reeve Mrs. Jean McPherson. "It is time for me to step up or gracefully bow out," said Mrs. McPher- son. Mrs. McPherson has served on the township council for 11 years including seven years as deputy reeve. Former township Reeve Sher- man Scott may also be in the race for the position of reeve. Mr. Scott said he has not yet decided definitely to run but if he did it would be for the posi- tion of reeve. "I will wait to see what {issues develop and if they're interesting I'll probably run," said Mr. Scott, who previously served as township reeve for six years. John Williams, Ward 3 coun: cillor for the past two years, said he might run for the posi- tion of reeve. Mr. Williams . said council had not accomplished nearly A strong possible contend for the position of reeve ap- during the past two years and said policy should be " untae WILLIAM NEWMAN + « « Conservative ALBAN WARD i eo « Liberal i.e gt a FOR REEVE'S POST IN TOWNSHIP adhered to. He charged council with continually breaking its own bylaws. Another possible contender for the position of ,reeve is West Rouge ratepayer president John Kruger. Mr. Kruger said he had not yet decided to run for any position and that he was in no position to decide while he remains president of the rate- payer group. DEPUTY REEVE The position of deputy reeve for the next two years could be left vacant if Mrs. McPherson decides to step up. So far the only contender for the number two spot appears to be Ward 5 councillor Ronald Chatten. Mr. Chatten has been on council for twa years and said although he has not yet decid- ed definitely to run it will be for deputy reeve when he does. Here again Mr. Kruger is &@ possible contender, WARD 1 The redistributed Ward 1 ly- ranean ct Dog D l Oshawa Car '{ng north of Highway 401, west of the Brock Road, could see lots of action in the election. "I see no reason not to run," said veteran councillor Harvey Spang, who has represented the old Ward 1 for the past nine years. Mr. Sprang's solid sup- port is indicated by the fact that he has contested only three elections, winning by ac- clamation the rest of the time. Norman Waller, present coun- cillor for Ward 4, says he will definitely run for councillor in the enlarged Ward 1 in which distribution has placed him. A third possible contender for Ward 1 is professional town planner Victor Rudik, Now a member of the township com- mittee of adjustment Mr. Rudik said he was a "possible candi- date" but had not yet made up his mind. WARD -2 If there is to be an acclama- tion in any township ward it eto geenaneeteae siete sables| WHITBY / AJAX PERSONALS Kenneth Cunliffe, the presi-|ihg ideas to help make this Duplicate }event successful, One of the committee members, Mrs. Mar- | dent of the Whitby | Bridge Club, reminds members could most likely be in the new Ward 2 located east of Brock Road and east of the Pickering Village and Ajax boundaries, Coun. Donald Beer, now rep- resenting Ward 2, said if he runs it will be as a councillor in the enlarged ward, At the present time no one appears to bé running against Mr. Beer. WARD 3 The race for council in the township's most populous ward could. be a one-man affair. Bay Ridges Ratepayers Asso- ciation President Donald. Kitch- en could be the only contender if, present councillor John Wil- liams runs for a higher posi- tion. Mr. Kitchen who has headed the ratepayers for the past 18 months said there was a good possibility that he might run for a council seat. WARD 4 There are no definite candi- dates in Ward 4 since redistri- bution will move its present S councillor Norman Waller into Ward 1. At the present time the only possible contender for council is the president of the West Shore Ratepayers Asso- ciation, A. C, King. WARD 5 No names have come forward from the township's most west- erly 'ward including the West Rouge subdivision. At present, Coun. Chatten represents the ward and if he decides to run for the position of deputy reeve the position would be open to a new face, Here again Mr. Kruger could decide to run for the new council. Traditionally the » two-year township elections have been held on the first Saturday tn December with nominations on the last Friday of November, This year the dates would be Nov, 24 and Dec. 2 but.there is a possibility that council may decide to hold the election on the first Monday of December, Reg BOWMANVILLE The recreation (Staff) istrations Set For Bowmanville | department's THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursday, September 7, 1967 5 Club held a committee meeting attend the weekend celebrations including an informal fellow- ship from 3 p.m. until banquet time Sept. 30.

MUSHROOMING "We're going to win', says Thomas Edwards, the New De- mocratic Party Candidate. "It's a new riding, and I've noticed considerable dissatisfaction with the present government. "The Liberals', said Mr. Ed- wards, "have not really taken hold in the riding, whereas our party strength is mushrooming. He said the people's 'dissatisfac- tion' is due mainly to what he calls 'no realistic solutions" proposed by the Smith Report on Taxation, and high mill rate increases.
