Dear Editor: I wish that th-e owner of a large brown dog coiuld feel the anger and sentiment itlh>a,t is be ing felt in dur house today. All winter we tolerate roaming dogs and being dog-lovers our selves; most of the time we don’t mind. ’ But surely come • “tie-up time” dog owners should give us a break. This morning our oldest pet rabbit fell bailt to the'dog I’ve mentioned. I wonder if my 'two year old will be safe to play in our back yard as she likes dogs and might think a dog friendly, -only-to be'attacked. It does not seem fair to me that people should continue to let dogs roam only to give others trouble. ’ Surely if y-pu own and love a dog you should take of it as your own, and not leave it to get into garbage, planted gar dens, sand boxes, and to tor ment other dogs which have been tied. All these things 'have either been my experience or that of friend's. Sorry to .sound off, but I guess it’s everyone’s privilege at some time. MRS. INA FISHER. Clinton, Ontario, May 19, 1966. /—.

Broadfoot were pleased to see them in Bruce field church attending anniver sary service. who atrophied some years, ago. The kids themselves, de*- ■ pending On home backgiound, their own personalities, and their talent, pr lack -of it, look on school as & jail, or a ball, Some think pf it rather , like having a ball in a. jail. School boards beef about the cost of everything, and ■ the administration beefs about the shortage of .every thing and the teachers beef ' about the paper. jungle and the, custodians beef about the salaries and the hours and . the teachers and the admin istration and the. school board. ‘ You might think, from, all this nagging, that there are some slight imperfections in our high schools. And you might be right. But it’s not as bad as it sounds. What I can't understand is that I haven’t been approach- ,ed for a diefinition of the ■ perfect high school. It’s1 prob ably just an oversight, and because I’m not a pushy type. But who. is better qualified? I’ve been to high school my self, I work in the blasted factory every day, and I have a daughter who comes home' every day and moans, “Do I ever, hate school!” Well, here goes. Don’t panic, now. The changes would be slight and inex pensive. I think we’d all en joy life more, students,, par ents and teachers. First of all, let’s cut out the muttered, mumbled moaming prayer, I believe in prayer and practise it quite often (usually when I’m in a jam). But it’s almost sacri lege in the way (it’s delivered. The R.C.’s whizz through* it and leave out the last part. The Jews and atheists^ are silent. The teacher winds up leading three or' four dogged Protestants who aren’t al ways sure of the words. . Next, out goes The Queen. While I am a royalist, and have the utmost respect for ■ Queen Elizabeth, I see no reason 30-odd . teen-agers •should be submitted, -every morning to a pompous and bad piece of music, the words • of which have no more re lation to their yzorl'd than does the horse and buggy. How would you like to go to the factory, or the office, and stand at attention while a tape-recorded band blares out one of these awful tunes, before1 you get down to serb ous business, like waiting for the coffee break? ■ In place of these, I would suggest a warm-up period. We’re all pretty dang doggy first thing in the morning. The class cut-up would be master of ceremonies. Witty sayings, 'announcements, brief weather report. Some Beatles ■and Bob Dylan and the Rolling Stones. 'An original poem or song from the stu dents. If a girl has Go-Go ■ boots, let her demonstrate a new dance. Probably on the teacher’s desk. By this time everybody is friendly, warmed-up. The real learning atmosphere has been created.' But unfortunately, I have Tun out of space.
