I = by John B. McClelland "We'll be watching you rascals." With those words, spoken in a good natured way, Law- rence Malcolm ended his last council meeting as mayor of 'Scugog Township on Monday night. The '"'rascals" he was re- ferring to of course, are the members of the present cou- neil who retained their seats, and the three new council lors, Jerry Jackman, John Williams and John Wolters, x Who were in the chambers for the final meeting and who will be officially sworn in at the inaugural session Dec- ember 4. The agenda for the final meeting Monday evening was light, and the Township business was -concluded - shortly after 9:00 p.m. The last official function of the council, the usual by-law to confirm the evening's pro- ceeding was read by Mayor Malcolm into the record. And the record will also show that the confirming by-law was moved and seconded by Neil McLaughlin and Vern Asselstine, . both of whom were attending their last meeting as members of Scugog council. Ater adjournment, there were no long speeches; simply hand-shakes all ar- ound, words of congratula- tions and good wishes among the seven men who had sat together as a council for the past two years. Earlier in the evening, the council unanimously agreed on a resolution by Reg Rose 3 COMPTON CABLE T.V.

As a gesture of app- reciation to the man who was the first mayor of the new Scugog Township, one copy of the picture will be given to Mayor Malcolm and a second will hang in the municipal offices. Along with a lot of memor- ies of the last five years as head of Scugog Township, Mayor Malcolm will be tak- ing one thing with him when he leaves office: the gavel. The gavel is his own per- sonal property, presented to him five years ago by the employees of the old Cart- wright Township, when he was elected mayor of the new Scugog Township. Last council meeting ends ear Mayor-elect Jerry Taylor will either have go get him- self a new gavel, or use a rather old and tarnished one that has been around the council chambers since 1956. ROUTINE The meeting Monday night was rather subdued, spent mostly on routine business such as a new lease agree- ment between the municip- ality and Kinsmen and Scouts for the use of the Scout Hall. The matter of tile drain inspections was discussed, the monthly canine report was received and filed (as usual) and council agreed to reduce the average lot size requirements from 1.75 acres to one acre for a planned subdivision in Utica by Jacobsen Construction.

November 27, 1978 -- 31 Some items on the agenda such as official plan amend- ments were put over for consideration by the incom- ing council, and councillors seemed anxious for the meeting to officially end. When it did, however, they sat around the table for nearly half an hour, sipping coffee and talking. 3 Plans have been made for the inaugural meeting on December 4, and a special invitation has heen extended ly and quietly to the public to attend. The new Mayor and council will be sworn in, and light re- freshments will be served. It gets underway at 1:30 PM. For Lawrence Malcolm, Monday night's meeting ended 11 consecutive years as an elected representative, and as he himself said at the conclusion of the meeting, "my wife can hardly believe that I no longer have council table to put my feet under." Some tips on Xmas toy buys The following are some general suggestions, from the Canadian Toy Testing Council's publication "Good Toys", 1978 Edition, for selecting toys to suit specific age groups: The Infant (1-6 months) Toys which appeal to the senses of sight, touch, sound, taste and smell are impor- tant during infancy. A mobile will attract the baby's eye and encourage focusing, but should be mounted out of reach. Teethers and rattles are suitable and often come in various shapes and designs which are interesting to the infant. These should not be small enough to be put into the mouth. Soft, stuffed toys and animals are good for this age child and should be washable. The Creeper (7-15 months) At this age, children are mobile and are developing better muscle control. Simple wheel toys, large balls and stacking blocks assist in motor development. The Toddler (1-2 years) Toddlers have developed greater co-ordination of their hands and feet, and are beginning to walk. Push-pull toys, especially those which produce a sound, are enjoy- able. There should be a large knob on the end of shaft-type handles, to avoid injury in case of a fall. Toddlers' toys should have all of the safety aspects -mentioned for infants' toys. Simple puzzles, large inter- locking beads and sturdy riding toys will be of interest to toddlers. The Pre-schooler years) By age two, the child is becoming more active. They can begin to play on tri- cycles, climbing equipment (2-3 and swings. Pre-schoolers enjoy imaginative play such as dress-up and playing "house" with toy dishes, tables and chairs. More challenging puzzle games, modelling clay and colouring books will appeal to the older pre-school child. Youngster (3-6 years) At this age, play can become more creative and intricate. Children can be given smaller toys without concern for them being swallowed. Goreski cottager decision Justice Dennis O'Leary ruled this week that the build-up of land by Philip Goreski and Goreski Sum- mer Resort Ltd. caused drainage problems for the six complainants and result- ed in some damage to their land and the loss of several trees on each property. He awarded the cottagers a total of $5,575 for damages caused by the drainage pro- blems as well as a sum of $1,900 to be used for the installation of a drainage system across Goreski's land. The matter of court costs has not yet been decided. The compainants had asked damages of $450,000 plus costs. Mr. Justice Dennis O'Leary, in handing down his judge- ment, said: "I find that the plaintiffs use and enjoyment of their property has not been interfered with in any material or substantial way by the complaints . . . save the interference of drainage of water from their land."
