Councillor Edwards strongly opposed the ward system, rec- ommended by the joint amalga- mation committee and _unani- mously accepted by Whitby Township Council at its last meeting. "TI think this resolution is pre- mature, I might almost say presumptuous or even imperti- nent. I have seen no evidence that the ward system results in good government. If councillors are honest in their concern for the people of this area we can provide equitable representa- tion. by general election," said Councillor Edwards. PLEBISCITE SUGGESTED Public. meetings should be held before any action was taken, and there should be a plebiscite to introduce it, he said. (The resolution provides the end of the third year). Councillor Edwards added that Oshawa had tried the ward system and failed miserably, and Ottawa was doing what it could to dump the system. Councillor Vernon MacCarl also spoke out against the ward for a plebiscite to be taken at| Mayor system, saying it did not do justice to the taxpayer. The remainder of council was in favor of the resolution. Said Councillor Hugh O'Connell: "The system has all the evils one can imagine and all the good one would hope to obtain. We went through every possible suggested idea to guarantee fair representation and there's no alternative I can see within the limits of the Municipal Act." SAFETY VALVE Deputy Reeve Robert Atters- ley said the divisions were as close to perfect as they could get, and the three-year period was a safety valve. What could be a bigger ward system than they had in county council he asked. ; After the motion approving a ward system with a vote after three years was passed . six votes to two, Councillor Ed- wards asked for a recorded yote and also said he could not ac- cept the judgment, and would try to persuade people the ward system was bad. Desmond Newman ;commented that this was one of perhaps 20 serious and difficult problems which both communi- ties would have to face. Council would be split on many of these points but out of it all would come, he hoped, a fair proposal for the people of the two munic- ipalities. Sloop To Represent Whitby In Race WHITBY (Staff) -- A racing sloop bearing a centennial flag will represent Whitby in the Southern Ocean Racing Confer- ence, an international event at St. Petersburg, Florida, town council was told Monday. This is thought to be a "first" for Whitby. Councillor Vernon MacCarl, Chairman of the Centennial Celebrations Committee, said the Dushka IV, a 37-foot sloop would participate in six races. It will be co-skippered in four of them by Whitby's Kurt Han- sen, builder and Ted Schoen- stedt, who left Feb. 2 with six other crew members. Before leaving Mr. Schoen- stedt was presented with two centennial flags, one to fly from the mast and the other to be pr d to the C dore of St. Petersburg Yacht Club, the home port. The committee also gave the skipper tie tacs to pre- sent to the skippers of other participating countries. Boats of a rather different type -- five canoes -- will be manned by 15 Boy Scout. Ven- turers who will travel by. land and water from Whitby to Expo '67 in July. The Scouts will wear buckskin uniforms and plan to follow the canal system. Mayor Desmond Newman of Whitby will send letters of All parish councils in the region were represented with approximately 100 members present at the regional Catholic Women's League meeting of Ontario County South Region held at St. Francis de Dales parish Pickering.

The regional spiritual direc- tor, Father W. L. Forgach, spoke of the good fortune of Canadians who have freedom of religion and speech. He urg- ed all members to set an exam- ple in virtue. In this way, they would help to make Canada a better place in which to live. Mrs. Frank Bolger of Toron- to, regional chairman, gave an music in the new liturgy of the greeting to the mayors of the various towns where the boys will camp overnight. Another centennial Scouting event will be a Totem Pole com- petition in early July. The idea is to produce totem poles of many sizes, some suitable for setting up in town parks. The celebrations committee also discussed the "Miss Cen- tennial'"' pageant proposed. The entrants will be 17 - 21 as of Jan. 1, single, and residents of Whitby. They will be judged on poise, personality, appearance and talent, and the winner will attend future centennial func- tions. This is being organized by the Kinsmen Club. The committee is seeking an estimate of the cost of the work of restoring the old Whitby lighthouse. Whitby merchants hope to get permission to place Canadian and centennial flags on all downtown street lights. A two- sided 'electrical centennial em- blem may be erected at the Four Corners. Centennial flags will be flown at all separate schools, the committee was told. A topic for the inter-collegiate history debate April 19 has been chosen -- "Resolved Canadian church.

CN Officials Explain Proposed Line WHITBY (Staff) -- Two rep- resentatives of Canadian Na- tional Railways were closely questioned by town council Monday about their application to build an additional service track across Dunlop Drive, Whitby. The track will go from the vicinity of Victoria Street to what will be the new Oshawa yard. The purpose is to get the engines that are now switch- ing industry in this area off the main line and signal line por- tion of the track on to a service track so that the switching operations will not block the crossings, explained one of the spokesmen. The CNR signals depart- ment had presented town coun- cil with a second »plan asking approval of protection for the crossing, he said. Mayor Desmond Newman commented that when council got the original plan for a change of signal location there was no indication this had any- thing to do with the improve- ment of extension of new track facilities in Oshawa. In reply to questions by Councillor Tommy Edwards, the CNR spokesman said the railways would pay the cost of installing the track, but the municipality might have to pay half the maintenance. This de- pended on the Board of Trans- port Commissioners' decision. Under the new scheme only main line movements would re- strict Whitby's traf-|East, fic, and the installation would cut down on the time crossings were closed, said the spokes- man, who was told of the lengthy delay sometimes exper- ienced by cars at crossings. Council agreed that Town Engineer Walter Evans should meet CNR representatives to discuss their possible intention to construct part of the service track on Grand 'Trunk Street. WHITBY PERSONALS The executive of Whitby Gar- den Club met recently and were able to plan a very interesting program for the year. Some of the invited speakers are quite prominent and it is hoped mem- bers will make a special effort to come out to these meetings. Plans were also made for the annual "Rose Show and Tea" tentative date is June 28, after- noon and evening. The Toronto Garden Club Spring Show will be held Feb. 28 to March 3.

Thwaites. Mr. Thwaites presented his 1966 report of the town's wel- fare department at town coun- cil's meeting Monday. Al- though another service -- the Homemaker Service -- was in- stituted last year, the cost to the municipality was minimal, he observed. By a close follow-up of cases in Family Court, the town re- covered over $5,000, which helped to keep the cost of gen- eral welfare assistance within the budget estimated for 1966, said the administrator. The number of Whitby peo- ple on welfare fluctuated dur- ing the year, the highest fig- ure being 92 in March and September, dropping to 54 in June. GROSS COST The gross cost of the welfare department's work _ totalled $42,321 for the year, but the the town was only $15,097. Of this sum adminis- tration was the biggest single bill, at $6,564, followed by $5,573 for general welfare assistance, $1,222 for nurses (VON) serv- ices, 1,077 for non-shareble assistance, and $660 for the homemakers' service. General welfare assistance, of which the municipality bears administration charges, Whitby $5,573 during the year. Monthly costs ranged from $632 in August to $293 in May.

The peak month for these was December ($741) and the year's total $6,564. The cost of the town of serv- ices by the Whitby branch of the Victorian Order of Nurses ranged from $204 in January to $62 in December, and totalled $1,222 for the year. HOMEM "SERVICE "The homemaker service may be used to help keep a family together when the mother is ill or in hospital, and may be used for elderly, handicapped and convalescent people. This was provided by the Canadian Red Cross after an agreement with the town effective May, 1966, "This service has been wide- ly used and has proved a much needed addition to our commu- nity services," says Mr. Thwaites. The cost to the town was $660 of the total $1,763. There are no nursing homes in Whitby, but costs of nurs- ing home care for its residents charged back to the town came to $52.

NON-SHAREABLE COST Whitby's non-shareable wel- fare costs varied considerably from month to month -- $9.27 in January, and as much as $354.68 in September. The total for 1966 was $1,077. The town spent $697 on sup- plementary assistance to reci- pients of old age security and assistance, blind and disabled persons' allowances, widows'| and unmarried mothers' allow- | ances, etc. Mr. Thwaites thinks this type of assistance, which was up from 1965, should stay fairly constant because of the proposed increase in old age pensions in 1967. | 1967 CENTENNIAL SUGGESTIONS @ VIYELLA SHIRTS @ ARROW SHIRTS and SPORTS SHIRTS McGREGOR HOSE TERRY WILLIAMS -- SWEATERS CROYDON COATS FREEMAN'S FORMAL RENTALS From USS EEVE'S MEN'S SHOP 129 Brock St. S.
