50% VOTE IN WEST ROUGE A MESSAGE FROM THE REVE
West Rouge made its voice felt
in the recent municipal election as
more than half of those eligible to
vote took the trouble to do so, as
against a 17% turn -out last year.
The "get -out -the -vote" campaign led
by the Kiwanis Club, the excellent
election meeting sponsored by the
Community Assn., and the publication
of our Bulletin shortly before the
election all helped to stimulate
public interest. Congratulations to
Cliff Laycox of Friendship Ave. for
his success on his first attempt:
We'll be watching breathlessly for
those street signs by the end of
Jan: These are the election results:
Reeve - Sherman Scott (a.ccl.)
Dep . Reeve - R . Hawthorne 13 7
J . Macpherson 999
Councillor - Cliff Laycox 564
(Ward 5) - Miss V. Swan 200
West Rouge is also well represented
on the 1960 School Board for Area
#2. Of the five members these three
live in West Rouge: Fred Hunt, Ted
Ryan, and Ed Harley. High School
Board members are appointed by Coun-
cil. We have been represented by
Don Macpherson whose term has just
expired. His re -appointment was re-
cently blocked in a "down with West
Rouge re-
cently at Council, but we are
hopeful that the new Council, will
see fit to re -appoint him.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
This space was reserved for your
letter, dear reader, but it seems
to have been lost in the Christmas
rush. We can only conclude that no
one in West Rouge has any complaints
until the tax bills come out
an�yway�.

This year of 196o should be an
eventful and busy year in Pickering
Township.
Some steps were taken in 1959
which will begin to make their
impact felt on the Township during
1960.
It would seem apparent that
the development around Frenchman's
Bay will become an actual fact this
year. The developers are picking
up their options on the land and
engineers and surveyors are on the
land and on the location. By early
spring, there should be a great
deal of activity in the area. This
will mean the immediate start of
not only the development itself but
an immediate start on the sewage
system and the water plant.
The Ontario Water Resources
Commission has approved of the loc-
ation of the sewage plant in the
West Rouge and, providing that the
Ontario Municipal Board approves
and that financing can be arranged,
this project should get under way
this year. The availability of
sewer" will also make it feasible
for some further development in
West Rouge and it would appear
that the Rougedale Subdivision
between East Ave. and the Pick-
ering -Scarborough line will go
ahead.
IS YOUR NUMBER UP?
Many homes in West Rouge are
still without house numbers, and
some arg still marked with the or-
iginal `lot number', adding to the
confusion. Let's give the delive ry
men and visitors a. break and get our
numbers up. If you aren't sure what
your number is you can find it on
your assessment notice, or phone the

At 11:30 every Saturday morning
eighty -odd boys and girls bowl as
seriously -- and often as well - as
their more sophisticated parents.
From the first ball to the
season's end they run their own
show. They make out the score
sheets, collect money, mark score.
They ask for help only when they
need it badly. This maturity shows
in their bowling scores.
During the fall of 1959 the
following boys and girls bowled
over 200 flat (no handicap): Craig
Hilborn, Pauline LLoyd, Wanda Lord,
Len Hart, Francis Faker, Teresa
Wright, Glen Hart, Bob Brown, Bev.
Smith, Steve Jones, Mary Adams,
Paul Sloan, arbara canton, Mary
'Edwards, Bill Rycroft, Ron Toye,
Don Carter, Murray Toye, John Scott,
Brian Ka.skiw, Bruce Craig, Mike
Henderson, Allen Fraser, Jim Lennox.
Of si-ecial note are games by Bob
Brown (356) & Teresa Wright (275).
Ken Tanghe bowled 8 games over 200.
We certainly have no cause for
concern about the bowling future
of Canadians.
We also have no reason to
question the natural sportsmanship
bred into these young adults.

The West Rouge Co!n unity Bowling
League, in hill swing with 16 mixed:
teams, held a very successful Turk;
Roll -off in December. Eight
turkeys and eight chickens were won
by 16 high -scoring (with handicap)
bowlers -- half were vromen.
Bowling in this league has
become a. very popular pastime for
the men and women of West Rouge
and has gone e long wpv towards
helping to cement us into a
closely -knit com.unity.
The four top teems of the first
series are S. 'duck, H. Wardell,
C. Ballagh, and D. Kaskiw (Cartains
They will go into the Class "A"
playoffs against the top 4 teams at
the end of the season.
In addition to receiving a
banquet at the end of the year
there are many trophies given for
various accomplishments. One of
the most treasured is the Ford
Sawden Trophy given for the most
improved bowler of the year.

promise o-l' developing into top
calibre hockey players.
Had the civic minded gentlemen,
such as Cliff Brandt, Ernie Head,
Cliff Ballagh and Cliff Laycox,
to name a few, had they not organ-
ized this Association, the talent
that these boys possess would have
lain dormant.
Of course the prime purpose of
the Assn. is not to seek out and
develop super -stars -- but rather
to give the children of the commun-
ity something to do. If, however,
by doing so, the boys become
rroficient at the came of hockey,
then all the better. As a matter
of fact, the executive of the
Association has been keeping a
record of every boy's clay to date.
The leas'ue hopes to affiliate with
the C.A.H.A. next year and keeping
records is a prerequisite.
The men have ke t the safety of
the boys up-ermost in their .Minds.
One of them is in charge of the
dressing room each night and he
checks each boy to make sure his
skates and equipment are on
correctly and to make sure he is
warmly dressed.
A Partin; Thou_ht: The new coun-
cillor for Ward 5, Cliff Laycox,
has some interesting and exciting
ideas on recreation facilities in
Pickering Township. If you are
interested, contact him.
