e Something to Say
by Susan White
Pity the poor city does
PINOCCHIO MEETS THE BLUE FAIRY—
Pinocchio's troubles begin when h'e is changed from
a puppet into a real live boy. Shown here in the
production at Seaforth Public School are, from I., -
Steve Henderson, a school kid, Neil Mitchell, Brian
McGavin'i Glpetto; Keith McClure, Pinocchio; Chtryl
Schenck took photos at two league
banquets. last weekend and
though we haven't been notified
yet,• we know. -there are more
coming up.
Thisyear the Expositor is
publishing a special bowling
section of the paper, later this
spring when all the awards
banquets are over. We're holding
each league's photos till then.
We'd like to include a photo of
your league's winners, so please
let us know a week- ahead-Mien
and where your awards night is
and We'll arrange for a
photographer to be there.
ff you're in charge of your
league's banquet, just call the
Expositor 'office at 527-0240 to
arrange for a photographer.
That'll insure that your league is
represented in the special
bowling edition.
missing.But ' transplanting a
country dog who has space,
freedom and his own house to ,
protect to a city apartment is
asking for disaster.
Our next weekend in the city
isn't going to include Tuk. And
probably you've gathered from
the foregoing taht if that's the
case, there won't likely be
another visit to the city for some
time. Talk about letting yoor pet
rule your life, The thing is that
were not willing to make him
miserable so that we can get
away.
Maybe if we put in a pool in the
backyard we'll' be able to attract
snore willing dog sitters?

season when local bowlers are
honored for their skills at awards

A number of projects to
improve Seaforth's water Supply
and distribution system were
proposed by PUC manager ,Tom
Phillips at • the commission's
regular meeting April 13, The
improvements include enlarging
mains along several- streets and .
moving a number of fire hydrants
back from the curb to lessen the
possibility of dalfiage to them
from vehicle traffic.
The Commission approved Mr.
Phillips' request to relocate and
install shut off valves on hydrants
at the corners of East William and
Franklin streettS, Janie; and Ann
Streets, Gouinlock and Victoria
Streets, Church and Centre
Streets and another on Chalk
Street.
In addition-, new 6" mains will
be installed on James Street from
Ann to Adam, on. Mill Street from
Brantford ,to Railway, on Huron
Street froth Main 'to-JArvis, arid
on Coleman - - Street from
Gouinlock to Godet:ich street
The Commissioners reserved
untiha later meeting a decision on
whether a new motor should be
purchased for the Layne Pump.
The question of bringing the
Brantford Street well into
operation and of drilling test wells.
at the PUC's Welsh Street
prc perty was also put aside for
consideration at a later meeting.
In other waterworks matters,
the commissioners asked Mr.
Phillips to seek estimates from
several companies on repairs to
Seaforth's water tower,
A motion was passed at the
meeting authorizing Mr.' Phillips
to invest money from the
waterworks current account in
short term deposits when the
balance in the account exceeds
$10,000.

Mr. Phillips "said it might not be
possible to complete all of the
proposed work this year, but felt
the imProvements shOuld be
started immediately. The'. PUC''
voted to allow the work to begin.
Mr. Phillips reported that
technicians , from International
Water Supply Limited carrying
out a test pumping on the' Layne
well at the • PUC's Chalk Street
sub-station, had found the well -
could produce 435 gallons per
minute at a peak motor capacity
of 34 amps. While th is amperage
is over the motor's' ratet1 capacity,
Mr. Phillips said if new „heat
devices were installed on the
motor, the well could pump
between 300 and 350 gallons per.
minute.

This is a column written in
sympathy. The sympathy ' is .
directed at dogs' who live in cities.
: My dog tried it for three days
over the Easter weekend and it
almost killed him.
We went to 'Kitchener to visit
my' sister, the dog, my husband .
and I. Becau se he doesn't see us
• all week, the cig, called Tuk,
(short for Tuktoy aktuk, which
means place where the deer
meet, according to Don Harron)
claims a lot of our attention on
weekends.
We feel heartless leaving him
at home.' As our many exifriendi
who've been visited by us,
trailing him; -will tell. you,
Besides we couldn't bribe
anyone to dog sit. He shakes so,
hard whenever he goes to the vetsi.-
that leaving him there for -the
weekend would have meant he'd.
shiver and shake himself away to
nothing by the time he was
retrieved on Sunday.
And my sister wanted to see
him, or thought she did.
At -first everything -was okay.
He seemed to look on the, walk up
four flights of stairs and a patrol
around her two bedroom
apartment as a novel experience.
But the thrill wore off.
Dogs don't like apartments.
Dogs have a sense of territory
taht is offended by apartments.
Hovv do you 'ex'plain to a dog
who'd get praised at home if he
growled when he heard someone
in 'the house at 3 a.m. that
whoever is out .in the apartment
corridor at that hour has every
right to be there, that he or she
lives there? That footsteps on the
apartment stairs don't necessarily
mean taht someone is coining to
see you and should be announced
with series of a barks.
You cant just turn off that
carefully nurtured watchdog
instinct when you spend a
weekend in an apartment. -
Tu -k tired of the visit, the city
and all- of us. A two bedroom
apartment on the fourth floor just
doesn't appeal to a dOg the way a
house with a porch, a deck' and an
acre of places to look for rabbits
and,•groundhogs does.
At home he goes in and out as
often as he can persuade one of us
to do• door duty. But nobody in
that Kitchener, apartment would
hun go up and down and in
and- out -on his own. Busy city
streets down there, we tried to
tell hint
My sister'4s place has a balcony
but he couldn't see over the wall
around it and he didn't like
staying out there alone. She
didn't have any walls that were
cool enough for a dog to back up
against. At home he has lots of
drafty, Cool corners to choose
from if he has to stay inside.
Anyway, ,aft er half a day in the
apartment Tuk started to look like
a cornered animal in a zoo.
Things didn't improve much
when we went out. How. does a
dog urd,,to open fields adjust to
postage stamp size lawns and
parks& And it's hard for a dog to
walk down a city street:-There are
so many strange smells and
germs and garbage heaps to stop
and smell that he doesn't make
any progress at all. ' To say
nothing of the exotic city diseases
he could pi& up...at home he's
pretty well developed immunity
to the local germs.
- He had to be on a leash all the
time, which is hard for a dog used
to running as fast as he possibly
can to take 'hard cement
sidewalks must have hurt a'sore
leg which lie sprained a couple of
week's before.
We would have left Tuk in the
_apartment for part-df the time
while we ',wandered around
Kitchener but we -had a sneaking
suspicion that he'd figure he was
permanently 'abandoned and howl
and moan and bother everyone
else in the building.
That meant he logged a lot of
driving as well as walking time
and though he tried gamely, to
keep up with us he looked a little
greena round the gills, bored with
it all and , dreaming of getting
back to one of his hideouts in his
own back yard.
By Saturday night he was
limping on a leg that we thought
had healed before we left home
and list less.
We went home a little earlier
on Sunday than we had originally
planned, mostly because the dog
was so unusually mopey, and
miserable.
It wasn't all catering to the dog
though. We're not city people any
more than he's a city dog and all.
three of us were pretty glad to be
able to sit outside on our own soil
Sunday afternoon.-
The wh ole experience gave us
a good deal of sympathy for dogs
who live in the city all the time.
Arid maybe, by extension, for
people who live -in 'the city all the
time.
City dogs, and maybe • city
people, are pretty happy because
they don't know what they're
