Councillor Sumner Fights Alone Wants Ceiling 0n Police Sick Pay 4 THE LIBERAIJ, Richmond Hm, ll It was clause 10 of. the brief, dealing with accident and sick- ness. which caused Mr. Sumner’s outburst. It states: “An employee off duty as a result of an accident or occupa- tional illness incurred in the performance of his duties. shall be paid the difference between: compensation and full salary by the employer while off duty until such time as the employee is physically able to return to duty. It is agreed this clause remain in force This year. but effective December 31, 1963, it be deleted." Mr. Sumner believes there should be restric- tions stated in this clause. and urged that it be changed immediately. "This leaves council open to the biggest bill of its life," he laid. and intimated that the same clause had been bulldozed through council for the last two years. without change. “I will not agree to this clause under any circumstanc- es!" continued Mr. Sumner. “It is absolutely ridiculous to leave‘ ourselves wide open in this way!" "I've seen this council quibble over a couple of hundâ€" red dollars but here they com- mit themselves to thousands without turning a hair!" nu“““‘in‘n““‘: """T‘7 “““““ I :Thornhlll Cemetery Company!

Rumble agreed with Mr. Sumner that the clause was unwise, but said he felt it would have to be honor- ed this year. vu ..... a V... . Reeve Dean commented: "We should abide by a gentle- man’s agreement. Police should have been notified last Decem- ber if the agreement was to be terminated. In the recorded vote which was recorded by Clerk Harry Crisp, the yeas had it, and Mr. Sum- ner’s was the one voice of protest. “Could we ask the clerk to put a heavy mark on his calendar 45 days prior to December 1, so we aren't backed into another hole next year?” asked Mr. Sumner. “The clerk won't have to,"1 replied Councillor Charles Hoover, chairman of the fin- ance committee. “I have it marked in my book." And the police chairman. Mr. Hooper said he, too, would mark the date Clause 6. allowing police em- ployees three weeks’ annual va- cation with pay followlng ten years of continuous service, was another point of conten- tion. Some councillors felt that few employers allow employees three weeks' vacation with pay until 15 years of service. However. in this regard it was pointed out that other Mark- ham Township employees re- ceive three weeks’ vacation with pay after only five years service.

All About People It seems as if Thornhill must have been just about depopu- lated for most of last month. April is beginning to rival July as a holiday month. Among those sojourning in Florida, were Mr. and Mrs. Harold Clark and son Brian of 16 Brightbay Cres. The Clarks drove down and spent two weeks at Daytona Beach. For the past several years they have stayed at the Royal Arms Motel there which caters to family groups and which the Clarks recommend very highly. They all enjoyed the lovely beach at Daytona, although swimming in the heated pool was also much enjoyed. On their way home they‘ spent a day in New York City, touring it to give Brian a look at the docks, the U.N. building, Central Park, Broadway, and etc. Also at Daytona beach were Mr. and Mrs. Ken Hall of 63 Westwood Lane with daughters Janet and Diane and son Robbie, and the Halls and the Clarks spent a couple of even- ings together. The Halls hadi spent a week at Indian Rocks Beach, near St. Petersburg, but on the Gulf side. Here they found the water much warmer and enjoyed swimming in the ocean. They then went on to Vero Beach, and Daytona Beach where they also stayed at the Royal Arms motel. A note to summer holl- dayers: rates at this parâ€" ticular motel at Daytona Beach go up considerably during the summer months, as it is a popular summer resort also. Mr. and Mrs. S. Clare of 148 Arnold Avenue went on what could almost be a safari. With their four children, five year old twins, and eight and eleven years old, they spent last month touring Florida. stopping at St. Petersburg, Fort Lauderdale ‘and Daytona Beach among other places. They had a‘ wonderful holiday, did lots of‘ swimming, collected sea shells, ‘visited Marineland where they ‘went under a glass-bottomed 75 foot tank and saw sharks, porpoises, etc. from below, walked through orange groves, and saw an open-air bird show with trained cockatoos. Along with all this, they did a little school work with the two older children as they went along. A salary schedule is in effect, and other benefits include a five-day, 40-hour week; lieu days; uniform and equipment supplied, including $25 clothing al- lowance annually; 50% of health insurance paid by township: a sick leave cred- it system allowing a maxi- mum of 150 days; service and good conduct pay for eight years uninterrupted service (150 per day after 8 years; 30c after 13 years).

United Church News Thornhill Notes York Centre M P HC Deputy-Whip James E. Walker recently re- elected Liberal for York Centre became the first suburban member to be recognized by the Pearson government. Mr. Walker was given the post of‘ deputy-whip, assistant to Alexis Caron. the Liberal MP for Hull. Quebec. The position of whip is comparable to that of the ‘truant officer, it is his job to see that the members are in their places when a vote is called. Another function of the whip and his deputy is to bring any member who has been absent up to date on what has happened during his absence. In matters of importance, especially with a near even house, the position of whip and deputy whip are considered vital.
