An End To Rivalry?
"Your worship, there were three
mations• passed at the inaugural meeting
Monday nightand we were wondering if
they were..legal as they were signed before
° the men.were sworn in."
With those. words by Reeve Harry
Worsell a near perfect session of council
I-ast. Thursday was thrown out of the
window..
The evening had been going along
nicely with business handled in a brisk
and efficient - almost friendly - manner
when' the minor bombshell was dropped.
It was unfortunate 4Aat it had to be,
because it served.::.n• , ; ful service and
only added more fuel to the otherwise
smouldering• feud"" -'between factions cin
council.
Reeve Worsell las been one of the
more moderate members of council in the
•
past and -the question was put with his
usual aplom. He may have had the best
intentions in the" world; perhaps the
legality of the -motions needed to be
questioned. But the time to have done .it
• was at the `inaugural meetin•9•,.
On the question, •Mayor Mills stated
the motions were not acted on until after
the swearing in ceremony was completed,
and the matter ended there.
If that is indeed the end of the matter
apd the, end- of the rivalry that has been
apparent on this, new council; if the
meeting last Thursday can .now be taken
as a guide as to what might be expected in
the future, then we have a very fine
council indeed.
The members acted in the rma,iner in
which any citizen is entitled to have them
act. Let's hope it continues that way.
A Word On Dogs
Councillor Frank Walkori' will have
his work cut out for him in the next few
weeks • attempting to make rhyme or
reason out' of .the town's 'existing -Dog
eentrol Bylaw.
He was handed . the task, as chairman
.of- -the town's special committee, at the
last meeting of council.
He has atr•'leastone strike against him
before he gets going because he feels dogs
should be allowed to' run loose during the
winter months. ,
Councillor Walkom feels dogs can do
no harm then- because there are no
-,gardens or plants that can be spoiled.'That.
,.may be true, but there are other areas in
which they can become a nuisance and at.
times, downright.,dangerous.
As a case in point,: During the early
part of this winter a near, epidemic of.
rabiesswept the county and several
°persons°were subjected to the very ainfui'
series of rabies shots after "they were
bitten by domestic pets - cats and dogs.
In, a few of these cases the.,..person's own.
pet As held responsible, but in a great
many other cases the bites received were
front animals running free which were' not,
'caught.
A five year old child in London was
bitten on the hand by a dog which .ran -
off. She had to " undergo .{the' shots, not
because the dog was rabid, but .because
it might have ,been. . If the ,dog *had been
tied, it would have been an easy task to •
establish whether or not the dog was
affected and the child might have been'
spared the ordeal., •
On the other side, pets would, also be'
protected from possible contact with
rabid animalsand their lives saved by
being tied.
'4\ ws434\
. " As far as nuisance, goes, 'jerhaps we
could take. the example of my own dog,
Rex, a fu,ll., grown German Shepherd dog
who has been making a nuisance of
himself , by barking.- The problem, has
become acute enough- that I now must
find a new home for him,,preferably in
the codntry. What does he bark at? Dogs,
of course. Dogs running loose.
These dogs don't-Wie to suffer for
'the mischief they cause, neither must
their' owners.. But we abide by the law and
keep the dog tied and now we must lose a
pet we have had for three years.
'We have ' also been subjected to
telephone calls and abuse from persons
who haven't the decency to give their
names. And it all started through dogs"
being allowed to run lbose.
There are, of course, other objections
to letting dogs loo* at any time and not
the least -Of the is -the safety of children:
They have en bitten by' -stray dogg„
knocked uneer cars by them and even, as
happened in New York State just before
Christmas, killed by them.
Dogs are, without 'a doubt, man's best
friends. One of the greatest things for a
small boy is' to, own '•a dog., A dog is an
_asset to any home, provided it is treated..
right, and letting a dog forage for itself in
the local garbage calls is, hardly giving it
the right treatment.
We don't envy Councillor Walkom his
task in 'clearing up the problems in the
present dog bylaw. We do .hope he will
give considerable'. thought to ALL the
problems of dog control before he' brings.
his recommendations - to the councir
chambers. .

DON'T LET BIG- CORPORATION 'PROFITS" FOOL YOU
In practically every labot demand for higher wages these days
is the statement: "You can sthdld'the. price revel steady by paying
our wage increase out of profits". Let's see.
For a company to stay alive and so provide jobs`fdr all, it must
keep its equipment modern. To •do -that, the company must earn
TWO 'TIMES as much profit" as before the war. Here's why - First,
out of the profits made: taxes can now take 52.8 percent. Out of the
less than half that's left, the company pays .for new machinery it
