NOT THE LOWEST Tenders For Machinery Accepted At Pickering BROUGHAM -- Sealed ten, ders were opened at a Pickering Township Council meeting this week for the purchase of a road grader and a dump truck. In both cases the lowest tender not accepted. The lowest tender for the ler was that of Dominion ad and Machinery Sales Com- pany Limited for $16,377 for a Champion. This included the trade-in value for the Town- ship's 12-year-old grader of some $10,000. Fraser Smith, a representa- tive of the company, advised that since the Township had purchased a Champion grader in 1959, some 200 modifications had been put in the machine, and it had been vastly im- proved. Township Engineer P. Pouls- gon checked the specification of the four tenders for the grader, and announced to Council that they were met in each case, He recommended the acceptance of the second lowest tender, that of L. M. Mfg. Co., for an Adams grader at $17,367.86 (trade-in value for old machine, approxi- mately $12,000, included). Councillors discussed the per- formance of the most recent Champion grader with the en- gineer, purchased in 1959 and having found it costly to main- tain, finally voted on the Adams machine. Although the vote was not recorded, it was mot unani- mous. "The lowest price is "aot always the best buy," said Councillor Hubert Wank, "yet we have a policy of tendering for the lowest bid, The engineer is quoting on the basis of ex- perience.' DELIVERY UNCERTAIN In like manner, the lowest bid Council Delays Naming Trustee BROUGHAM -- A bylaw to appoint a member for the Pick- ering District High School Board was tabled at this week's Town- ahip Council meeting because of indecision among the council- lors. Councillor Newman submitted a motion that George T. Todd, a member for many years, and whose term was. expiring, be re- appointed. Mr. Newman extolled the virtues and experience of the former reeve, and while councillors unanimously agreed on his ability, the motion was lost. Councillor John Campbell sug- gested that Mrs. R. Brown, of West Rouge, was a likely can- TOPS Club Member Loses 30 Pounds WHITBY (Staff) -- Whitby Whittlers TOPS Club held its Christmas meeting with an at- tendance of 14 members and one new member.

Christmas Cards Sent To Shut-ins WHITBY (Staff) -- The Women's Christian Temperance Union held its Christmas meet- ing in St. Mark's United Church Hall with the president, Mrs. Harold Quantrill opening the meeting with a brief Christmas message. Mrs. J. E. Whitehurst read a devotional message en- titled "The Word Became Flesh". Mrs. Gordon Glenny read an article entitled 'Stop Killing Yourself'.

For the remainder of the meeting members addressed cards to shut-ins and a social 9 was spent over a cup of didate. Her husband sits on the Area 2 Board. They are both in- terested in education and have children attending school. "I think it would be a good idea to have a woman on the board," said Mr. Campbell. "T cannot help but feel it is time for a change," commented Reeve Laycox. "I cannot see anything too wrong in making a change, and in having @ woman on the board." "T agree change is good, but I vote against it," said Council- lor Hubert Wank, "I think that previous experience does lend weight." The deputy reeve remarked on the faithfulness of Mr. Todd, and the time he spent on his duties, yet said: "IT would like to see more women on boards and commit- tees. They look at things in more of a 'Scotch' attitude than men. The women will look at a situation from all angles, and in a broader view with regard to money. And who knows more about the needs of children than women?" 2 A resolution was proposed by Mr. Campbell that Mrs.. Brown sit on the Board, but it, too, was lost. , A decision will be made at the next meeting. Reeve Laycox announced that the Metro Conservation Author- ity had discontinued contacting the tenant of flood lands, but that the tenant, if he wishes to Authority, and every effort will be made to purchase it. "Now the authority is acquir- ing land people really want to get rid of," said the reeve. "There has been a delay in pur- chasing all the flood land which they are anxious to obtain be- cause the money has been run- ning short." Mr. Laycox said that he was eager to see the low lying flood lands in Pickering Township purchased by the authority as soon as possible. Although it has been decreed that there would be no council meeting in Christmas week, a meeting will be held Dec. 21 to discuss two matters only: the 72 objections to the rural area zoning bylaw, and to make some recommendations for amend- ments; and to make a decision on the site for the proposed new municipal building.

"We have laid down once and for all that we now have one fire area," said Councillor Don- ald Waring, chairr.an of the fire committee. 'There will be like fire area services every- where." Each fire department will set up its owm budget. i BIG MESSES A new bylaw was passed to regulate galvage yards, and the sale of second-handgoods. Li- cence fees will be $20.
