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.

March 16th, 1967 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.

Hospital Whitby Volunteer Group No. 1 to the Ontario Hos- pital, Whitby, are again asking for pub- liv help in order to bring some happiness to the ladies of the cottages they visit every Wednesday. One lovely elderly lady at the hospital really enjoys doing crotchet work, but be- 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 thread available, a donation of this kind would help immensely to help this lady keep her mind off her lone- liness.

The volunteers are still needing over- shoes and other ar- ticles of clothing -- especially in the larg- er sizes. There is also a need for under gar- ments. When the volunteers organize games for the patients it is nice for them to be able to provide little prizes to the winners. Pieces of jewelry serve a use- ful purpose here, and any that you can spare would help. If you can help with the supply of any of these articles it would be very much appre- ciated.

Revise Regulations For Charitable Deductions Canadian charit"le organizations which wish to continue issu- ing receipts for tax deductions must register, be approved and receive a registration number from the Taxation Division. Financial records which can be verified by the Taxation Division must be kept. Revenue Minister E.J.Benson estimates that upwards of 40,000 organizations would apply for registration with the newly creat- ed "Registrat - a STOVES • WASHERS • DRYERS • SMALL APPLIANCES a] 181 1339 IIARWO OD AVF.M-IF %rRTH, AJAX 942-3321 large or small - we repair them all Examiner of Charit- able Organizations." The Taxation Divi- sion also outlined rules to oe followed by employers who make pay - roll deductions to charitable organ- izations. In future employers will have to set up funds in separ- ate "employees' charity trusts", register the trust with the Taxation Division and include their re- gistration numoers on all T4 slips issued to employees. The new regulations do not apply to receipts issued for donations made up to Dec. 31st 1966. Duplicate receipts must je kept. In making application, each organization must submit a copy of its charter, letters patent, constitution and by - laws, or, it these do not exist, a list of the aims and objectives. Service clubs, fraternal lodges and similar groups are not, in law, charitable organiza- tions. However, if these organizations have specific charit- able projects and the funds are kept separ- ate from other club funds they might qual- ify and be registered as charitable trusts. All 29 of the Divis- ion's District Offices will release within a week, copies of the "Application for Re- gistration" form, the "Return of Informa- tion" form and apam- phlet containing both an information bulle- tin and the official In- come Tax Regulations WHY NOT HAVE A PIZZA TO -NIGHT?

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.

March 161h. 1967 Teiport 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. 4 a- -11- Atli "W clue around ;- . his neck ana the ERJ.. on his tail :...tae's the • ' world 'first "'` Siamese secret agent !

(This study was described at length in last week's issue of this paper). 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". NDP Organize In Ontario South An organizational meeting was held at the Rubberworkers Hall in Whitby on Sat., March 11th. The New Democratic Party organizer for Whitby, Larre Deschenes, spoke on the necessity of forming an area group in Whitby. Those appointed to the committee who will be helping to set up the area group were; Adrian Goverde, Har- ry Baxter, Vic Perro- ni, Tony Doleweerd, Felix Rae, and the chairman Charles Love. A work session will be held on Sat., March 18th., at ten a.m. The organizer will be in- structing the members on the type of canvass to be conducted in the Pickering Council In Brief Building In Contest The Architects of the new Pickering Town- ship Muncipal Building (Craig, Zeidler & Strong) have advised that the municipal building was chosen as one of the 100finalists in the Centennial Awards Competition for the Massey Medals for Architecture. n L. 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. 1 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 for expenses for the Reeve; Deputy Reeve and Councillors will receive $18. per day for Council and Com- mittee meetings, and 100 per mile for mile- age travelled on town - ship business. Reim- bursement will also be made for telephone calls relating to town- ship business. u Official Plan To Remain Etobicoke have peti- tioned that the Official Plan is a millstone around their neck and that it be abandoned forthwith. Pickering Township Council feel that the Official Plan in necessary for a basis of long term planning and will reply that they feel it should remain. town.

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.

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.

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.

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. Frenchman s Bay Yacht Club, Breezy Drive, 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 club now has an actively growing Power Squad- from early May into November, you can say there ron and has programmes which include Regular is action at Frenchman's Bay. From cwr view - Racing Schedules, Regattas, Cruising Races, point Centennial will be our best year yet, 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 the city for a comfortable ride on a "GO" train, having from stations sui t: as thL:. :ti rich %%ill be at 'Rouge Bill". The establishment of the first proper commuter service on the frin,-es of 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).
