WHITBY And DISTRICT Whitby Bureau Office 111 Dundas St. West Manager: John Gault Tel. 668-3703 DEFIANCE OF ACT CLAIMED Ousted, Appointed, | All In Same Night BROOKLIN (Staff) -- Andrews vacated his Whitby Township ea One School Board, in absentia, and for only a few moments here last night. Mr. Andrews was appointed to the board in October, 1963. He served as trustee for two meetings on Noy. 13, and Dec. i. Two Brooklin ratepayers Tom Nicholson and Mrs. Jesse Deremo discovered that Mr. Andrews had never taken the Oath of Office. They consulted the Public School Act and decided that Mr. Andrews had no right to make decisions as a_ trustee. They reported their finding to School Inspector B, F. Wise- man, who in turn advised the board to decree Mr. Andrews' seat vacant, and to appoint an- other trustee. Technically, the communique stated, Mr. Andrews' inaction concerning the oath-taking was to be construed as a resigna- tion, Board Chairman Bill Mann- ing refused to take action in declaring the seat vacant, and in a new appointment: "Pass it on toa County Judge," he suggested. 'I don't think we should have to make the decision, Mr. Andrews took WHITBY BOWLING NEWS his seat in good faith at. our re- quest, and he is being made a victim of circumstance which might be detrimental to him." Trustee Hugh Ormiston sym- pathized, but pointed out that the inspector's letter had given the board power to appoint. Secretary Treasurer W. D. Thompson concurred: "It should be carried out." Mr. Manning insisted that the onus for the action be placed on Inspector Wiseman, '"'if any- thing happens," This was ulti- mately included in the motion. Mr. Ormiston moved the seat declared 'vacant, then nomi- nated Mr. Andrews to fill it. SAYS ACT IGNORED "This cannot be done," ob- jected Trustee Winnifred Mc- Kenzie, "We have had a School Board Election (Dec. 14) since Mr. Andrews' appointment, and the Act states that the vacancy must be filled by the unsuccess- ful candidate with the largest number of votes (John Wal- "The people didn't know they were voting for. three people in that election," Mr, Manning retorted. "It would be unfair to the people. We would not be expressing their will." "If we are going to comply with the Act (Public Schools Act) in some things," charged Mrs. McKenzie,, '"'we should comply with it in everything." She proposed an amendment to the motion, requesting that the appointment be made in accordance with the Act, The other members refused to second the motion of amend- ment. The original motion was car- ried by Messrs. Manning, Ormiston and Dr. Keith Mount- joy in a recorded vote and Mr. Andrews returned to the seat he had vacated earlier in the evening. He entered the meeting a short time later, following a phone call from Dr. Mountjoy informing him of the result of the vote. He took the oath lace), limmediately. Two employees of an Ajax salvage yard appeared in Whitby Magistrate's Court Tuesday, one charging that the other had ited him causi bodil ea LEGION SUNDAY NITERS The 'Hotshots took the meas- ure of the Demons this week 7-0. Doug Rowdon really came to life for the winners with a tre- mendous 851. Mitchell and Clare Rowden also aided the cause with 200 games. The Demons welcomed two new bowlers to their team this week with the addition of Wal- ter and Glenda Henderson. The Stinkers took five points from Amateurs. Ed Brush threw a 798 triple while his daughter Anita threw a 602, tossing the ladies high single to date at 287. 'Dick Rodd paced the losers with 675. "The How Comes stepped on 7-0 when Roy Val- fant Ted the attack with a 624. Roy Mustard tossed a 225 game fn for the losers. The Headpins whipped the short-handed WC's team 7-0 with Jean King leading the winners with a 597 triple. Char- ley Skelton was the lone bowler on hand for the losers and toss- ed a 235 game. Blake Walls bowled off early with a 268 effort. A pat on the back to Charley who took the headpins on alone. The 'Lemon League" this week is kind of anemic as two bowlers stand there all alone: Don Mclvor 86, and Don Brown 98 It looks like we've talked Helen Valliant right out of the harm. Victor Brown, Harwood aven- ue, Ajax pleaded not guilty to the charge that he assaulted plaintiff Leo Paul Paulin at his home Dec. 11. Paulin told the court he was employed as a laborer at the salvage yard in Ajax where Brown was employed as fore- man and that he boarded at Brown's house. He said that on the evening of Déc. 11 he had come downstairs in the Brown house after taking a-nap and "as I went to get my radio the next thing I knew I got a punch in the head and was knocked to the couch." He said several days before Dec, 11, he had told Brown he was going to move out and had come downstairs (to where Brown as watching television) to get his radio. "T was knocked onto the couch and was jumped on by Brown." He punched me and when I rolled onto the floor he proceed- ed to kick me in the back and chest. "I did not fight back as I have a crippled leg," PPaulin added. The plaintiff said he had missed four days from work after going to the hospital for treatment of his injuries. Brown stated the plaintiff had come downstairs with a heavy trunk and had fallen. "Then he accused my wife of stealing an extension cord from the radio." "Lemon League."

Magistrate Harry W.
