Urges John Kruger
Appearing before
Council on Monday
evening, 1%1r. John
Kruger of West Rouge
compared the Cor-
poration of the I uwn-
ship of Pickering to a
business and suggest-
ed that business -pro-
cedure could be used
as a guiae.
In business three
things are considerea,
(a) Estimated ex-
penses for the coming
year, or budget -- for
which the Township
must impose a tax.
(b) Oversee the per-
formance of the ser-
vices orexpenditurcof
these monies that have
been received. (c)
Proviae a balance
sheet giving a state-
ment of revenue and
expenditure.
Mr. Kruger suggest-
ed to the Cownship of
Pickering that they
might take a lead and
provide a complete
disclosure with re-
spect to expenditures
during the year. "Give
the business facts to
the ratepayers" he
said.
fie gave an example
by way of a newspaper
clipping from a Sum-
merside. PA- -A. paper
which he said in his
judgment was one of
the finest statements
he had seen put for-
ward by a murtcipali-
ty. He went on to ex-
plain that the dis-
closure was so clear
that the ratepayers
would not need to have
any financial o3ck
ground to understand a
statement such as this.
Mr. Kruger said that
by emulating a disclo-
sure such as this t1w
Council woulu bedoing
an excellent public re-
lations job with the
ratepayers. By dis
clusing the reasons fur

Taxes And Their Collection
Representatives from
Pickering Township
met with the Depart-
ment of Municipal
Affairs on March 7th
to discuss problems
facing Pickering
Township. Tax collec-
tion was criticesed as
being an area in which
the Township had tend-
ed to lag. It was es-
timated that uncollect-
ed taxes in 1965 cost
the Municipality
$28,000 in bank inter-
est alone. The provin-
cial average for col-
lection in 1965 was 9T%
whereas Pickering
Township's figure was
81y,,. The Department
pointed out that as
taxes increase our
collections under the
present system wiil
diminish and they ex-
pressed their opinion
that many taxpayers
are using the Munici-
pal Treasury as a
bank.
A solution to the
problem was suggest-
ed by hiring a Tax Col-
lector. Further, that if
any installment of
taxes falls overdue
then the whole amount
or balance becomes
due and payable. They
suggested that consid-
eration should also be
given to abolishing the
1j; discount, although
it was agreed that this
did provide an incen-
tive for early payment.

A Bylaw was passed
at Monday night's
Council meeting pro-
viding for collection
of taxes for 1967, in
which a clause states
that if there is any de-
fault in payment then
any subsequent in-
stallment or install-
ment shall forthwith
become payable.
Deputy Reeve Mc-
Pherson and Councill-
or Soang took excep-
tion to this clause, but
it passed on a 4-3 vote.

Volunteer Group No.

bring some happiness
to the ladies of the

One lovely elderly
lady at the hospital
really enjoys doing

cause of the expense
of the thread it isn't
very often she is able
to pursue her hobby.
If there is anyone with
some spare crotchet

Ham For Easter
Baked ham is as much a part of the Easter
festivities as spring bonnets and flowers. And,
there's no trick to preparing this beautiful ham
for Easter dinner, since it has been fully cooked
for you and needs only heating and glazing.
Use a whole or half tenderized, boneless fully
cupped ham, 1 cup apricot or peach preserves,
1/4 cup liquid honey, 1 tbsp. lime or lemon juice,
1/2 tsp. grated lime or lemon rind, 8 whole
cloves. Preheat oven to 325 degrees, and bake
ham for about 10 minutes per pound for whole
ham and 15 minutes per pound for a half ham.
Prepare the glaze by combining preserves,
honey juice & rind, and whole cloves. Bring
to a boil and set aside until needed. Thirty
minutes before ham is done increase oven tem-
perature to 375 and brush ham with glaze.
Serve any left over glaze with ham.
The Easter Egg pear salad requires 8 small
canned pear halves, syrup from the pears, red,
yell3w, green and blue food colors, 1 8 oz. pkg.
soft cream cheese and a tablespoon salad
dressing and 1 tbsp. finely chopped nuts. Drain
pears and divide syrup into 4 small bowls,
tinting each a different color. Place 2 pear
halves in each bowl and add water as needed
to cover pears. Let stand until tinted the desired
shade. Drain pears on paper towel.
Blend cream cheese & salad dressing, add
nuts to 1/2 the mixture and use to fill cavities,
and spread over top surfaces. Top each with
a pear half of the same color. Put remaining
cream cheese into pastry tube with small
rose or leaf tio. Decorate pears Easter -egg
fashion as shown in picture. Makes 4 salads.

Meeting with Department of Municipal affairs and
To Representatives Councial esentatives of Pickering Held March 7 1967
P 9
Reeve Laycox opened the meeting by explaining
that many of our problems were of an internal
nature and were due in part to the fact that
the administration of the To vnship prior to
the erection of the New Muiicipal Building
was scattered. He further explained that with
the consolidation of the administration many o;
these internal problemiF where now a thing of
the past.
The Reeve stated that the Township was fin-
ancially stable but that the Tw-3nship was ex-
periencing difficulties in methods of financing
in view of the lack of borrowing power as
determined by the On-ario Municipal Board.
He asked that as Councillor Williams (who
Is Chairman of Finance) was one of the in-
stigators of this meeting that the act as spokes-
man for the Municipality. Councillor Williams
read from a prepared brief which described
some of the frustrations the Municipality had
experienced during the past few years. He
indicated that the -estimated Mill Rate in School
Area 2 for the year 1957 would be 115 mills,
that this Mill Rase was still climising and
that under normal circumstances we w--)uld
be p--rm'tted to borrow an additional one mil-
lion dollars. He explained that as the capital
forcast now sto.)d our regiirem-ent for 1967
w-3uld be in area of six million duilars.
Councillor Williams explained that this six
m'Ilion dollars was in the m?in a requirement
for Capital Costs in Edication. He went on
to explain the fact that we as a fringe m_-,ni-
cipality are being pressed by Industrial and
Residential Developers to expand our services
in order that they may locate in the Munici-
pality. H= explained that the attitude towards
residential development was and should be some
what different than that towards industrial
development. At this point one of the Officials
of the Department interjected and suggested that
possibly the Tomnship should abandoi further
consideration of residential development ever
if the imposts derived am punted to $750.00 ar
$1.000.00 per lot.
Mr. Williams explained the biL-Agro,ind details
Of the servicing problems we had encountered
with C.G E. and the remaining problem with
Routes Motors. He went on to explain the need
for the expansion o: Water Services in the
Municipality and also explained the situation the
I'ownship was left in because of the Ontario
Municipal Boards refusal to expand the water
area.
The officials of the Department at this point
suggested strongly that in any development
whether it be residential or industrial that the
official plan be consulted and if deemed ab-
solutely essential amended prior to any agree-
ments being reached. They did however appear
sympathetic to the Township in respect to the
Routes Motors situation. They appeared to agree
that we cannot afford to turn industry away
providing the industry is prepared to pay for
services.
Councillor Williams indicated that there was
a need for expert advice in natters pertaining
to h inanze, Administration, Planning and Indus-
trial and Residential Lkvclopmcnt. H-eexplained
that we as a fringe m-_nicipality were somewhat
puzzled by the lack of action b} the Gotrermmnt
in resp. ct to f-'ringe Municipalities and tht Gold-
,:mburg Rei? -)rt w'.iich recom_nded assistance.
The answers and recom; ndations of the Ua-
partmeat of Mu-iicipal Affairs w,.re as follows
and do not appear as the verbatum •_omments
made but rather in capsule and summary form.
TAX COLLECTION
This subject is and always has been an area
in which the Tawnship has tended to lag. It
was estimated that the unc.-)llected taxes in 1965
cost the Niulicipality $25,000 in bank interest
alone. The provincial average for collection
in 1965 was 90/;, Pickering Townships fig -are
was K? ,,. It was pointed out by the Department
that as the taxes increase our collections under
the present system will dim_nish. It was also
stated and is a fact that we are never out of
the banks pocket and we are paying the price
for this. It was the opinion o: the Department
that many taxpayers are using the Municipal
Treasury as a bank and the following recomen-
dations w, --re made. That consideration be
given to the employm,:n_ of a Tax Registration.
That if the first or any installment of taxes
falls overdue than the whole amount or balance
becomes due and payable. That consideration
could also be given to abolishing the discount
altogether, although it was agreed that this did
provide an incentive for early payment.
RESERVE FUND •
That the Municipal Council establish a w,-)rk-
ing reserve fund the amount of which should
eventually eliminate the need for bank borrowing
and panic transactions and that any surplus
from the General Fund be applied to the reserve
fund.
•
RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT
That the Municipal Council ensure that where
residential development is agreed to that the
imposts and conditions are such that the deve-
lopmcnt would be self sustaining and not become
a financial burden to the Municipality.
OFFICIAL PLAN
That the Official Plan be reviewed and if
required amended providing such amendment
doss no: open up areas which would present
difficulty in servicing or other Mt_nicipal costs.
0
EXISTING PLANS OF SUBDIVISION
That any plan of subdivision presently register-
ed but undeveloped be declared to be not plans
of subdivision. This can be done only if the
plans were registered 8 years or more ago
(subject to confirmation). It was the opinion
of the Department that many of the existing old
plans of subdivision are inadaquete for todays
requirements.
0
EIXJCATION
The Departments Officials did not wish to
discuss the particular aspect o: municipal af-
fairs as it is directly under the jurisdiction
of the Department of Education
SEW':R & WATER SERVICES
The subject was discussed at some length
and the need to provide these services to in-
dustrial land was emphasized by the Town-
ships representatives. The Department agreet
that this was a matter of concern particularly
in respect to Industrial Lands.
F__1
L__J
MILL RATE FOR INDUSTRIAL EXPANSION
The department was of the opinion that this
suggestion deserved some further consideration
as it was obvious to them that in this particular
area the Township was unable to keep pace
with developments.
CAPITAL FORCIASTS
It was suggested by the Deputy Minister that
Mr. Grant assist in the preparation of the
Capitol Forcast for presentation to the Ontario
Municipal Board. This was the only way the
Department could assist in this problem.
OTH.--R ASSISTANCE'
The Deputy Minister concluded the meeting
by offering to the Municipality the services
(in a consultative capacity) of any of the De-
partments staff. He also agreed to refer all
items discussed for cinsideration by the Min-
ister of Municipal Affairs. It was mutually
agreed that the meeting and frank discussions
which had taken place had served a useful
purpose.
The Deputy Minister and his staff were thanked
by the representatives of the Township for the
time, the recomendations and the offer off assis-
tance they had given.
The meeting adjourned at approximately
5.15 p.m.

Pickering Twp. Softball Association
The annual meeting of the Association was
held in the Brougham Hall on Tues., March
7th.
The officers for the year 1967 are as follows:
President - Mr. Bob Robinson - Frenchmans
Beach; Vice -President - Mr. G. Goversall -
Royal Canadian Legion; Secretary - Nora Liv-
ingstone - Pickering Beach; Registrar - Mr.
Don Rowe - Squires Beach.
Members at large at the present are Mr.
Dan Rooney of Bay Ridges and Mrs. Bett
Calladine of Green River with two more to
be appointed. On taking the chair Mr. Robinson
expressed dissapointment at the poor turnout
of supporters for an election meeting.
He stipulated that he would expect full co-
operation this year from the Softball Leagues
in the association who at this time were not
concerned enough , in a majority of cases
to send representation to the election. In this
they indicated that they were satisfied with all
decisions made by the Association Executive.
The proposed amendments to the constitution
were as follows: Number one, defeated; Numbers
2,3,5,6 passed; Number 4, passed with the last
sentence "should the protests be upheld, the $10
shall be refunded.
These were the amendments listed on the Jan.
11th. notice.
Due to non-support at the regular annual
meeting it was decided to change Article 7 (a)
of the constitution to read "The Annual Meet-
ing of the Association will be held at the des-
cretion of the Executive Copies of the amend-
ments will be mailed out as soon as possible
and should be attached to all copies of the
Constitution.
Due to the additional work involved for out
Secretary we are looking for a duplicating
machine. We are not too fussy so if you knoa
of one that is available and not too expensive,
but works then please call Mrs. Nora Living-
stone at 942-0987, she will really appreciate
it.
A message to all Managers, Coaches, Players
and parents. Let's all work together and have
a very good year in all communities and if
there is anything that I can do to help in any
way no matter how small it may seem, do
not hesitate to call 839-4110.
Ward Attacks Sugar -Daddy Ways
Alban Ward, Liberal
Candidate for Ontario
South, chided the Ro-
bart's Government for
what he called "sugar -
daddy" electioneer-
ing.
Speaking to an organ-
izational meeting for
South Fickering he
said "who does the
Provincial Govern-
ment think they are
kidding? They bring
down a sterile budget
which unloads the tax
raising problem on to
the municipalities.
Then they resurrect
little nest eggs of
money salted away
from previous budgets
and proceed to go about
the Province like an
Easter bunny, doing
some of the things they
neglected to do for the
last five years."
"That's our money.
What is provided for us
in services with that
m :)ney is ours by right,
not, as the Tories
make it appear, some-
thing they do for us out
of the goodness of their
hearts. "
To illustrate his point
Mr. Ward continued by
saying, "If Ajax and
vicinity get a licence
bureau we should get
it because we deserve
it, not because the
government decided to
do us a favour".
"The government at
Queen's Park is set
up as our servant, not
our benefactor. politi-
cians who try to buy
us with our own money
are becoming increas-
ingly repugnant to the
electorate".
Outlining Liberal
Tlicy Mr. Ward said,
is designed to place
Individual well - being
above and beyond the
mercy of the market
place.
Turning to education,
he sighted many in-
equities in the present
system and referred to
the annual teacher hir-
ing time as an "auction
sale". This is a direct
result of the lethargy
of the Robart's Gov-
ernment. It is time for
assertion of principles
and ideals, not politi-
cal expediency".

An organizational
meeting was held at

Frank T. Ross
& Sons
Frank T. Ross & Sons
(1962) Limited, one of
Pickering Township's
new industries of last
year, have objected to
being charged for sew-
ers and water on what
was described to them
at the time of negotiat-
ing for the land as
"serviced industrial
land". They will ap-
peal the decision of the
Court of Revision with
reference to the as-
sessment. Ina letter to
Pickering Township,
Frank T. Ross ex-
plained that they were
assured all services
were on the land and
at no time were they
notified of additional
charges for servicing.
Commenting on the
letter, Reeve Laycox
stated that "someone
was pretty naive to
think they could buy
land at the price they
paid for the land and
expect to get ser-
vices". The land was
sold for $4,500 per
acre.

Remuneration
A bylaw was passed
setting out remunera-
tion for the Reeve, De-
puty Reeve and Coun-
cillors. Effective Jan-
uary 1, 1967 remun-
eration will be $3,500
per annum plus $1,200

Reeve; Deputy Reeve
and Councillors will
receive $18. per day

mittee meetings, and

Feed Your Lawn Right Now
March is a very im-
portant time to ferti-
lize your lawns. The
melting snow and com-
ing rains will drain
the fertilizer down to
the roots where nour-
ishment is needed.
When the ground
warms up you will have
a lush green lawn.
It is important to
broom rake your lawn
as soon as the snow
has gone, to remove
the debris that has ac-
cumulated during the
winter. This will also
gently lift the grass
so that it will not be
smothered and air and
rain will be able to get
to the roots.
A light rolling will be
beneficial as soon as
the soil is firm, it will
flatten the turf, the
freezing and thawing
has heaved. You will
find these spots when
you use your lawn
mower ending with
bare spots where the
blades have evened it
for you.
As stated last week
it is ideal to apply
fertilizer oa top of the
snow. If you are unable
to do this job your-
self, the local nurs-
eries will do it for
you at a nominal
charge to the end of
the month. After that
they are too busy with
landscaping. All nur-
series have spreaders
that are either loaned
or rented for a small
rental charge.
A fertilizer higher in
nitrogen is ideal at
this time of the
year. A formula of 10-
6-4 is excellent now.
When the ground has
warmed up a formula
of 20-5-5 is ideal.
You should not stop
with just one feeding.
An application every
two months is best. It
is very essential to
spread fertilizer in
June before the heat
of the summer. As
you know it is hard to
keep your grass from
turning brown in the
heat spells, but a good
fertilizing in early
June and lots of wa-
ter will help. The same
goes for a fall fer-
tilizing! This will help
your grass winter
over.
If you find bare spots
in the lawn when you
rake it, take a hard
toothed rake and give
the soil a good
scratching to loosen
the soil. Apply the best
grass seed available
and a little peat moss
when you fertilize. Al-
though you may think
the pice of the grass
seed is expensive read
the directions and you
will find it will cover
a larger area then the
cheaper brands.
Around the 24th of
May you can top dress
your lawn with about
an inch or two of peat
moss. This will work
Its way down in the
soil and will help to
retain the moisture so
that your lawn does
not dry out as fast.
It may not look very
pretty for a week or
two but the end re-
sults are rewarding.
Organize Frenchman's
Home 8 School
The Organizational Meeting of the Frenchman's
Bay Home and School Association was held on

Kiwanis
rBar Bargains• MC=839.3812
Hews
Once again it is that
time of yearwhen
your local Kiwanis
Club starts asking for
your support of it's
various fund raising
projects. We thought
that it might be the ap-
propriate time, with
the kind co-operation
of this paper to give
you a little history of
the club. An outline of
some of the projects
where these funds go,
plus some of its hopes
& intentions for the fu-
ture.
Kiwanis started in
Canada 51 years ago
in Hamilton (down-
town, Toronto cele-
brated its 50th anni-
versary Wed. Mar 8,
1967) The Bay Ridges
club started four years
ago sponsored by the
long time established
Dunbarton Club. The
meeting place for the
first 3 years was the
United Church on
Liverpool Rd. then a
short stay at the Tee-
pee Restaurant to our
present meeting place
at the Annandale Golf
Club every Wed, at
7:00 p.m.
With a firm founda-
tion of long time
Kiwanians from the
Dunbarton Club, plus
an enthusastic group of
new residents a char-
ter was obtained in
what is now district
10 which Includes such
clubs as Dunbarton,
Oshawa, Whitby, Pe-
terboro and Bowman-
ville.
The boundaries set at
that time for the Club
include Frenchman
Bay West Shore & Bay
Ridges areas.
Kiwanis is unden-
ominational. Its Motto
"We Build". Its aim -
to help build a better
community, with youth
being a community's
greatest asset. We na-
turally lean most
heavily their way.
It is our hope that
through this column in
the next few weeks, we
may help answer the
question of why join
service clubs, and also
get to why they expend
so much effort in try-
ing to make our com-
munity a better place
to live in.

Will Knock On Every
Door Says Pilkey
Mr. Cliff Pilkey, can-
didate for the New
Democratic Party for
Oshawa Riding, stated
last week that he be-
lieves some of the
major local issues in
the forthcoming pro-
vincial election will be
automobile insurance,
relief from municipal
taxation, housing in the
city of Oshawa, and the
Auto Free Trade Pact.
He expressed these
views at a pre-election
organizational meet-
ing held at the region-
al office of the New De-
mocratic Party in
Oshawa.
Although some of
these issues are gen-
eraly considered the
Federal Government's
responsibility. `!r.
Pilkey feels the Pro-
vincial Government
should be involved.
The candidate stated
his intentions of
knocking on every dour
in the city of Oshawa
to discuss these is-
sues.

Frenchman's Boy Yacht Club
by Ted Bowen
Thirty years ago a group of seven or eight
sailing enthusiasts decided to form a club for
racing `loth class dinghies, and from thatgroup
has grown an 80 plus member Club with a
potential of over 100 in 1967. -
As a property, there is a small but reason-
able Club House on 266 feet of frontage facing
the roadway which backs - courtesy of a lease
from flickering Township - directly on to the
water's edge on the west side of Frenchman's
Bay.
With adequate parking for over 100 cars, the
Club is actively developing the docks to provide
30 mooring slips and dry docking facilities
for about 50 dinghies in addition to the pre-
sently used swinging moorings.
1967 property improvements indicate a worth-
while Centennial contribution to the appearance
of the community.
Almost ideal as a dinghy yacht club because
Of the choice of the sheltered waters inside
Frenchman's Bay or the open waters of Lake
Ontario. Frenchman's Bay Yacht Club also offers
a lot to Fower and Sail Boats in the larger
classes as well, with sheltered moorings and
reasonable access :o Lake Ontario.
Located just outside the eastern boundary of.
Metropolitan roronto, the club can be reached
by residents of both Toronto and Oshawa within
reasonable driving times.
Governed by an Executive Board elected on
an annual basis who are responsible for the
day to day administration of Club affairs, the
Club also has the guidance of a Board of Direc-
tors made up of past Officers who think in terms
of 5 -year plans and beyond. Based on the ex-
perience gained by the hard knocks and visions
of past members and executives, and the leader-
ship technique of the two Boards that has been
adopted. Frenchman's Bay Yachr Club now looks
forward to a progressively improving future.
A very active Junior Sailing Club (owning 5
Pippin dinghies) supports and represents the
Club and sees do the training of up to twenty-
five 10 - 16 year children on a 5 day, 8 weeks
long sailing course, and includes evening train-
ing sessions for adults during the week. The
new facilities planned will greatly improve the
successful achievement of these aquatic sche-
dules.
Dances and parties, cornroasts and singsongs,
water sports days and general casual get-
togethers form part of the life of this gre-
garious club. The charter of the Club calls
for the promotion of Yachting in its broad-
est sense including social functions and. in
fact, the social part of the 1966 year, at a "Buy
the Boat" Spring Dance, raised in one evening,
enough funds to buy and operate the Clubs
Committee Boat - which, after waiting 29 years
for one - was appropriately named ' At Last."
It takes money to run a Yacht Club and French-
man's Bay Yacht Club is no exception. With
a budget of around $13,000 in 1967, the funds
come from membership dues of $45, initiation
fee $75 and voluntary subscription to a six
percent Property Improvement Fund. Mooring,
dry docking and slip fees as yet to be finalized.
help to balance the books.
New members are welcome and all sailors
are invited to look in on us. Applications for
membership can be obtained from the Secretary.

Fairport Beach P.O., Ontario, or ask any mem -
ber to pass the detsfls on to him.
With boating facilities and grounds improve-
ment foremost in mind in terms of physical
property - only these ore in the plans for the
coming 5 years. However, these plans are
flexible and if the opportunity presents itself
(i.e. money to do it) maybe a new Clubhouse
will also spring up.
On the water, only the enthusiasm of the mem-
bers limits the range of activities available.
Primarily a sailing club in its inception, the However with a sailing schedule which rens

Cruising and Day Sailing, but the future offers a lot more.
It won't be long now before some m:_)turists, at least, will be gtviog ur

Metro Toronto will no doubt accelerate the development of more residential building in the Bay
Ridges -West Rouge area, and beyond. Pickering Township is sitting right in the direction of
an expansion of home building. (Photo- Miriam Bays).
