TT oe _ _ MEMBER OF CANADIAN WEEKLY NEWSPAPER ASSOCIATION " Notes and Social Misfits A Winnipeg magistrate that the socially unfit be made sterile. After a careful study of some families on the relief rolls who periodically appeared in his court for all kinds of misdemeanours, he concluded that they were unfit to have children.

Reeve Dowswell during the regular monthly meeting of Township Council told councillors that wolves have be- come a menace in the township and are destroying quite a large number of sheep. One farmer who has had a serious loss. of sheep, phoned him asking what the council could do about the situation, Majority of councillors agreed that they had heard of several incidents where sheep had been killed by wolves rather than dogs. : After some discussion it was de- cided that the township pay a $16.00 bounty in addition to_the $35.00 now being paid by Ontario County when it was proven they were destroyed within the township.

"If a li- 'cense is obtained for two of the rooms, and one is dry, there are bound to be incidents, "Mr. Dand said.

HAVE TAX ARREAR WORRIES How to get taxes out of certain ob- stinate taxpayers was one of the prob- lems the East Whitby Township Coun- cil discussed last week. George Farncomb, the township clerk, said in some instances he does not get any response at all after send- ing out registered letters. == ~ "What can I do?" he wondered. Reeve Neil Smith told him that it is his duty to send out notices to the taxpayers;--but -if there is no action -after that he -should report to the council. Further steps could then be taken, he said. It was suggested to send the bailiff after the derelicts, "There is no bailiff here. Our bail- iff had a heart attack," Mr. Farncomb said, However, Reeve Smith pointed out nobody can refuse to pay taxes. They can only appeal in the court of re- vision regarding their assessment, Manchester Misg Loretta Sonley, Whitby, visit- ed her brother Mr. Clifford Sonley and Mrs. Sonley- over- the week-end.

The contract with the United States for uranium was to be delivered in five years. Late in 1956 activity started, The government paved '18 miles of road into the Lake, or rather Lakes, 178 of them. Eleven mines built shafts, streets were paved, some before the houses were bujlt., beautiful big High and Public. Schools, Stores privately owned opened up, Churches were built, an_immense Hospital fully equipped, Homes were built mostly under N.H.A. At the peak of activity thére were 30,000 inhabitants, by 1959 things be- gan to slip a little, no orders for uranium in guch vast quantities, Now 600 homes are vacant, only four of the mines operatng, and Dennison which operates two are likely to close down almost anytime. A lot of busi- ness places are closed, stores are hav- ing sales, They say there is no house worth less than $10,000, but so far no sale for them. One idea is that Sen- ior Citizens could rent them for $45. he among them, A guard at the gate to one mine said there had been 1100 men em- ployed there, now there were four, He also said the place was done if they could find nothing more to do with uranium than "blow the top off the world." Scientists are working on a way to use uranium to prevent steel from rusting, but thése experiments take at least five years, | a - r be ---- ra ~ Township Liquor BROUGHAM-- Reeve J. Sherman Scott. again made the decision that a liquor plebiscite be held in the Town- I ship of Pickering by breaking a tie | vote which asked that Council recon- sider its decision on the holding of a plebiscite on the sale of alcoholic bey- erages in the Township at a Council meeting on Friday night. As a result the motion was lost, This action followed an appeal by Mrs. Hugh Miller, Mrs. Howard Mal- cobm, and Mrs. Howard Paxton, rep- [resenting the Brougham Women's In- istituts and United Church Women, | that Council not institute such a vote. Mrs. H, Miller, spokesman, based the deligation's objection on a peti- tion signed by 306 women protesting i the sale of liquor in the Township j when the matter was brought up | some few years ago. "It is unfavourable publicity to this Council to turn down the plea of some 305 women," said Mrs. Miller. She contended that it was a dan- gerous precedent to take such action on the suggestion of only one tax- payer. Such a vote, she said, would cost a great deal of money, nnd prob- ably mean an extra five mills for the | Potiee force. {She argued that liquor outlets were usually placed in Shopping Centres, and the Townships had none of any consequence. She maintained that a considerable increase in population would" be- required before there were suitable locations, and if there were, that it woud be a service principally for non-residents, "Where do you get the figure of five mills 7" asked the Reeve. "It was estimated some time ago," said Mrs. Miller, and Councillor Mil- ton Mowbray said that he believed it; was on the assumption that the Police Area was extended to include the north part of the Township. "In the democratic system under which we' operate," said the Reeve, "the majority of taxpayers have the right to decide the way we shall live. If the ladies are opposed to it they can take a strong stand, for their side-is- weighted. To decide the ques- tion, an overwhelming majority is re- quested --60 per cent to 40 per cent." He went on to say that he bhe- lieved that only one request to have a liquor vote had very little to do with it, that there had been other previous requests, that collecting the signatures of 26 per cent of the pop- ulation in favor of a vote on a _petition-was-almost prohibitive, ---- "It seems to me that if the maj- ority want it, they should have it, and if the majority does not want it, they should not have it," said the Reeve. "Why," he said to the delegation, "do you object to the people having an opportunity to vote?" "Phe principal of cost, thing," said Mrs. Miller. "We hold elections for other pur- poses," said the Reeve, "There must be other reasons." Mrs. Malcolm spoke; *'Because it will make Pickering Township a less desirable place for many people. The vote will receive much publicity." "That will not hurt the Township". said the Reeve, adding that from one point of view it does not look good, hut by the action the Council took, it does not say the Township is go- ing wet, Deputy Reeve Mrs. Jean Mac Pher- son upheld the delegation, stating that by putting the question to the people who want liquor, it was mak- ing it easier for them, "If we give them the task of get- ting a 26 per cent petition, IT think that probably we might be able to discourage them to a certain extent." "I oppose the motion, and will op- pose it to the last," declared the Deputy Reeve, "I am not in favor of spendiiig taxpayers' money on the vote and I go along with the dele- gation that it is making Pickering Township a less desirable place to for one Delegation Protests Pickering mean.

(It is estimated that the cost of the plebiscite will cost $6,000). "For years there has been a desire on the part of the people to have a vote taken. L think the fact remains that the people have a right to decide, and to change the situation, it has to be very strongly in the affirm- ative. It seems to me rather ridiculous to take up a petition among 20,000 people just to get a question on the ballot." Councillor Harvey Spang spoke against the plebiscite, not, he said, because he was opposed to the people having a chance to have a vote, but he failed to see that it is going to make the municipality any better off. Reeve Scott implied that it would make little difference, as there were liquor outlets in adjacent munieipal- ities, "There is no particular scaveity of liquor in Pickering Township," he said, "That is the point," said Mrs. Mil- ler. "We feel the supply is adaquate. Councillor Milt. Mowbray explained that this Council was not for or against the sale of alcoholic bever- ages, but only passed a motion to have a vote. "I can see that people are entitled to have a vote," he said. "I feel some interest needs to be shown in having a vote apart from people who hope to get licenses for outlets, It looks very much as if the Township is embarking on a course which involves a certain amount of expense, simply by giving people an opportunity to get outlets. I question the spending of the money. Councillors Wank, Greening, and Deakin spoke on behalf of a pleh- iscite heing conducted, Mr. Wank saying: i "Some people are taking a differ- ent outlook of what liquor outlets do any degree of degradation. This will only he straightened out by a pleb- iscite." _-- "This is not a case of any one par- ing liquor, In our democracy, it is a way of finding out what the people want. If the people do not want it, they just have to say so." Mr. Deakin brought out the point that in this municipality a great many shoppers were leaving the shopping districts strictly because they cannot immediate area, He said that it had been proven in Ajax that business in- creased, not only in liquor stores, but in all other stores, threefold. The motion to reconsider their for- mer motion that a liquor plebiscite be held was lost, with Reeve Scott, Councillors Deakin, Greening, and Wank voting "against it, and Deputy Reeve McPherson and Councillors Mowbray and Spang, voting in favor. --00---- Larry Ferguson Paces Brooklin Over Athletics Larry Ferguson scored five goals and added three assists to pace Brook- lin Hillerests to a 16-8 victory over St. Catharines Athletics at Brooklin Saturday in an Ontario Lacrosse As- sociation senior game.
