Then it stays on our property. We think the world of our dog, that's why we want it home. I could go on, but it wouldn't help unless, something is done. I hope other people write the .paper or go to the council meetings and find out what we can do to solve this before a lot of greenery turns yellow, grass discolours, gardens and flowers are uprooted, and a lot of children's pets get killed. Remember I'm not blaming the dogs, it's the owner's fault, and it's their co-operation we need to clean up this situation. A Lucknow Resident, Alice Den Boer.

After having such lovely weather this past week and now, our thoughts sometimes turned to spring. Flowers and gardens are always a nice thought as we seemingly develop a spring fever. We look out at the still white ground,and think of grass and our green shrubs. Then we see foot prints of animals in the snow and start to wonder if our effort is going to be a fruitless one. Yes, I mean the dog situation. We wonder if we should fence in our gardens, put fencing around our flowers and shrubs. But ,then we realize all we will see eventually is fences, and more fences. Putting up signs saying Keep Off Grass doesn't help the dog any, as they can not read. So what to do? Well first off, I find we have no dog catcher on a full or part time basis. If we do not have enough money to solve this problem, maybe we will have to increase fees for owners to retrieve their pets. Charge $50.00 for a first time, increase it by that same amount every time thereafter. That way it would not need to be passed on to the taxpayers. Secondly, how far does the village allow us to go when a stray animal comes on our property. We're not allowed to shoot within town limits. Can we then get one of the store owners to bring in a large supply of stun guns? Stun the animal, take him past town limits, then shoot him. Should we chase him into the path of an unexpected car driver and cross 'our fingers. Can we put .a net over him and hit it over the head with an axe? Now you're probably thinking I don't own a dog, but I do. Our dog is usually in the house. The only times it goes out is when we take it for walks, or when nature THE LUCKNOW SENTINEL, LUCKNOW, ONTARIO 10% OFF RUBBER BOOTS Regular and Black Mono Children's - Ladies' - Men's EXPIRES FEBRUARY 19,1977 AT 6:00 P.M. &WWI 10% OFF LADIES, SHUGGIES and VESTS suavaiimmiliemmin Our Bargain Table Is Back In Action Bona 'Fide Savings — Have A Look!!!
