Whitby ip Council, spite good intentions of its three entive members, , failed to wind up its mu- nicipal administration without a verbal battle. Mr. Down, in his capacity as roads committee chairman was ving "a misleading slant" to road report. He said he had intended when he left home after dinner Fri- day, to refrain from becoming involved in any argument, but he felt he could not agree with the manner in which Mr. Down's report was presented. Mr. Down, in giving the road report told council it would be approximately $2,000 over its budgeted amount for township roads department spending at the end of this year. He said the $2,000 will be in addition to $1,800 which was transferred to the roads depart- ment earlier this year. Councillor Dryden suggested the reeve should make it clear council will be almost $4,000 overspent on its road budget this year -- after revenues not -- budgeted for have been de- He said he had hoped, be- cause this is the Christmas sea- son and because Friday was the! last day the council would sit as a council, it would not have to end the year "by going through a haggle again". "I hoped that in the closing minutes of our year's work, we would not have to go through all this again," Mr. Down said. He continued, still in his own defence, that he has been criti- cised over the township acquir- ing a development road, from Ontario County Council, of eight to nine miles in the township. But, he maintained; he felt the township was fortunate in getting a county development road, paid for in its entirety, by; the highways department, ex- cept for the land acquisition. That road, he says, goes by Mr. Dryden's property and will be one of the top roads in the county and he will be one of the "Mr. Reeve, you also neglect- biggest land owners on that ed to say in your report that construction projects in the F e e I " never thought I would be criticied for going to the de- partment of highways, for put- the pressure on county penal é oot this road for the township, And most of all, I never thought I would be sub- ject to criticism for "being a gentleman among gentlemen," Mr. Down said. "In regard to Way street," Mr. Down continued, I have also been criticised over that street, but the county road board offered to repair it com- pletely -- which would be a saving to the township." "I have only one more com- ment to make," Mr. Down said, "and that is when Mr. Dryden came in as a member of coun cil, a special purposes commit- tee was set up and if he spent half the time on that special purposes committee as he has been spending on criticising the roads committee -- (he didn't finish). "But", the retiring reeve said, "as far as I'm concerned, the fight is over. I'm going to shake hands all around when I leave here today and this fight- ing in council is past history now as far as I'm concerned." When Mr. Down left the coun- cil meeting Friday afternoon, he closed the door on 24 year's service as a municipal politician. He was defeated in his bid for re-election by former township deputy-reeve John Goodwin. Mr. Dryden will return to the 1963 council as its deputy-reeve, having defeated Mrs. Lovelock in her bid for re-election. township have not been com- pleted -- work that was budget-| ed for at the beginning of the year," Mr. Dryden said.

Not only judges passed their' opinions on the windows, but the general public was invited to vote for their choice of the three best windows for a $25 first prize. Ballots were supplied at many of the downtown business es- tablishments and in order to win, the voter's choice of the three best windows in town had to coincide with the decision of the judges. Ruth Bowring, Whitby VON nurse captured the $25 first prize in the judging contest. Second prize, $15, was won by Theresa Murphy, 126 Byron street north and Times Carrier Douglas Ford, 136 Pine street, took the third place $10 prize. Because more than two per- sons had the second and third place windows correct on their ballots, the winnefs' names were drawn from a hat. Roads Department Official Resigns Whitby Township Council, Friday, accepted with regret, the resignation of C. S. Thomp- son, roads department bookkeep- er for the past 20 years. Mr. Thompson's resignation will become effective Jan. 31. Deputy - reeve, Mrs. Myrtle Progress By JOHN MATTERS CALGARY (CP) -- The first step toward exploiting the tan- talizing Athabasca oil sands, and the discovery of more oil- saturated sand in the Arctic is- lands, make 1962 a year of sig- nificance to Canada's petroleum industry. The Alberta government, act- ing on a recommendation of sts oil and conservation board, gave approval in the fall to a $125,000,000 scheme by Great Canadian Oil Sands Ltd. to ex- 136 Building Permits Issued In Township Development of the lakeshore area in recent years has result- ed in increased assessment and building permits for local mu- nicipalities. This trend shown a downward turn in the Township of Whitby in the past year. In 1961 a total of 109 permits were issued amounting to $997, 000. This year more permits, 136, were issued to builders but only for $750,000, Of these permits 40 were for residential building, four were earmarked commercial and 91 for garage building and renova- tions, The remaining permit was for a church building. These figures were released at the Whitby Township council meeting held in Brooklin Fri- day, the last meeting of the 1962 session. Alberta Oil Sand Helped tract oi] from the Athabasca sands, Premier E. C. Manning aid the region, 280 miles northeast of Edmonton, is estimated to contain 300 to 500 billion bar- rels of oil, a substantial amount of it extractable. The Athabasca sands are be- lieved to hold the largest known reserves of oil in the world, po- tentially enough to supply Can- ada's needs for 800 years. But it wasn't until Dr. Karl A. Clark, professor of mining at the University of Alberta, per- fected a water flotation process separating the oil from the sand - a became prac- cal. CLOSE TO WATER And this same process may be essential to the exploitation of much of the petroleum re- sources in the far north. Marie Bay on the northwest corner of Melville Island, 1,450 miles north of Edmonton, is the site of oil sands located by J C. has|Sproule and Associaces of Cal- gary, geologists acting for sev- eral companies. The Arctic sands ar2 a long way from the development stage and one preliminary es- timate by E. J. Baltrussitis, exploration manager for Dome Petroleum Ltd., is that they contain 25,000,000 to 100,000,000 barrels, considerably less than the Athabasca sands. Bu they take on added im- portance because of their prox- imity to tidewater, which means relatively inexpensive transport to world markets, perhaps by nuclear submarine tankers. The timetable for Great Ca- nadian's Athabasca program calls for ty to be ar- ranged by next Sept. 30, c struction to start by Jan. 1, 1964, and production to begin by Sept. 30, 1966, The company plans a 290- mile pipeline to connect with the Interprovincial Pipe' Line Co. system. But Premier Mann- ing has, in effect, assured the owners of conventional wells that the Athabasca development = interfere with their mar- es, would have a production capa- city of 35,000. barrels -a day, about five per cent of curren: national production. OUTPUT ON TARGET There was a sharp increase in oil production in the three westernmost provinces this year and the daily national production hit an estimated 739,000 barrels compared with 643,134 in 1961.

Mrs. Lovelock said after much criticism of the roads depart- ment, during an argument with Councillor John Dryden that Mr. Thompson would be as "well off out of it". She said he did a good job.
