Wednesday for injuries re- ceived in a car accident two years ago. ' George Anthony Hickey, 15 Edward street, suffered multi- ple fractures to both legs in Oc- tober, 1962, when a car driven by Ronald Baker, 53, of Wych- wood avenue, Toronto, pinned him against the rear bumper of his auto. IN CAST TWO MONTHS Following the accident, T. V. Kelly of Oshawa, counsel for court, Hickey was in a cast in the Oshawa General Hospital for two months, and has since suf- fered pain and inconvenience from the injuries. A jeweller, Mr. Hickey lost considerable money both in his business, and in medical ex- penses, Mr. Kelly said. Out of pocket expenses were estimated at $5,143. Dr. R. A. Gill, 300 King street west, Oshawa, _ testified Mr, Hickey's fractures between the knee and ankles had weakened both legs and caused great dis- comfort. The left leg was s0 Agree To Omit Ajax from Address BROUGHAM -- The Post- master General of Canada has responded to a recent resolution of Pickering Township Council lr the name "Ajax"' on ckering Township mail by stating that letters addressed to street, number and place (i.e. Bay Ridges, Fairport, etc.) then 'South Pickering, Ontario" rather than 'Ajax, Ontario" will be acceptable to the Post Office. "There is no such place as South Pickering,' commented Councillor Don Waring, who was of the opinion that "Pickering" or "Pickering Township" should be the name used. "We have to compromise," said Councillor Hubert Wank. "I think the main objection is the idea that our mail will bear the name Ajax. Obviously if we call it Pickering we are going to confuse all the other areas." "T think the Postmaster has taken cognizance that this is a growing area," stated Council- lor John Campbell, "He has visualized that there is going to be a South Pickering Post Office eventually. I think he has taken a liberal attitude towards it." "But there is such a place as WHITBY PERSONALS The 4th Whitby Scouts are holding an "Open House" this coming Friday at St. Mark's United Church hall.

'By calling it South Pick- ering I feel it is starting a divi- sion of Pickering Township." "If designation of South Pick- ering is going to split the Town" ship," retorted Councillor Wank, "We're in a pretty shaky posi- tion. I think a delay of one day in mail is a serious thing. I think if the Post Office can de- liver in 24 hours, we should not postpone it." "J don't care if my address is Shangri-La," continued the Councillor, "I would like to keep the same address, and avoid de- lay and confusion." A resolution was passed that} "South Pickering" be the desig- nation 'on all mail to Bay Ridges, Fairport, and the other centres in the postal delivery service area. Mrs. McPherson and Mr. Waring opposed the resolution. Members Asked For Clothing WHITBY (Staff) -- Fourteen members and seven visitors at- tended the St. Mark's United Church Women Unit No. 4 meet- ing, held at the home of Mrs. R. G. Grobb. The leader, Mrs. R.:W. MacCarl, welcomed all present and thanked the host- ess for opening her home. It was reoprted visits were made.

'An ardent hunter and fisher- man, Mr. Hickey said, he could no longer go into rough coun- try because he didn't feel sure on his feet. Defense counsel Gerald L. Rooke argued Mr. Hickcy, while his injuries were serious, had made an excellent recov- ery and would continue to im- prove. The minor disability, he said, does not interfere with his business. He asked court to assess damages under $6,000. "We have here," Mr. Kelly concluded, "'the case of a man, aged 47, who cannot adjust to sudden disability the way a younger man could." West Rouge Water Supply Very Low BROUGHAM -- At a Pick- ering Township Council meeting this wetk, it was reported with alarm that the supply in the West Rouge water system at the moment, was limited to 48 hours. Reeve C. W, Laycox: stated that the township engineer had reported that one could walk out 50 feet into the lake with rub- ber boots and not get wet. Lake Ontario's level is reported to have dropped six feet, and if it drops another estimated three feet during the winter months, the situation could become ser- ious. indeed. The township engineer, P. Poulsson, offers a: solution by connecting the . West Rouge water system with the Bay Ridges system, but this would | Townships To Remain BROUGHAM --_ Pickering Township Clerk L. T. Johnston, who was instructed by council to learn, if possible, what was in store for municipauities un- der a rumored regional govern- ment, came up this week with information from a responsible official in the Department of Municipal Affairs whose name could not be disclosed. He predicted that regional government would not take place for a long time, but that there would be permissive leg- islation in 1965 for county gov- ernment. Mr. Johnston's infor- mant thinks that main township services will go to county grad- ually; health, assessment, wel- fare, planning, main roads, with tax notices from County with IBM equipment. Municipalities will ask to have services taken over. They will not be forced from the provin- cial level. When interrogaaed, the offi- cial related that if Pickering Township needed a new buiid- ing, build it, keeping in mind that the present departments will gradually go to the County. Townships will net disappear for many years.

He reeommended that japplication be made to Metro for.an emergency water supply. A resolution was passed that the engineer be instructed to take the necessary steps to find if he could get an emergency water supply from Metro To- ronto. "The situation is serious," said Councillor Hubert Wank. "We can no longer talk in terms of costs."
