The Goderich Signal-Star, 1969-03-13, Page 5R�uhd and About With Martha Did you write your Provincial Member of parliament to register' a portest against a new piece of legislature which will allow 'dealerS' to buy and sell our 'pets and other animals should they fall into the hands of the Humane SocietY or other 'shelters'? If your pet is missing, that is usually the last place you would check. But if these new 'bills are 'passed, as I understand it, people can take the animals, sell them for research, etc, — and this way there will be plenty of live animals for their "use." - The Ontario Htimane Society has always tried to protect our animals and expose these people writ, have caused such terrible cruelty to them. If these 'DEALERS' are allowed to take aniinals from the - society's protective care and sell them, with no thought of what their fate will be — just what are we getting into if Bill§ 73 and 74 are allowed to piss legislation • without a thought or protest from anyone of us? .The worst of it will be that once these dealers gret .your ' animal in their "establishment", the government will be protecting THEM from • inspection by the Humane Society and they couldn't care les§ about "cruelty to animals.". It frightens me! about it over that cup of coffee is not going to do any good if you don't •get together anfi send a letter of protest. Think about it — NOW— and do something before it is too late. Another thing - that was brought to my attention was the about 28 x 36 inches made Op of little 4 -inch squares, which are ``' great therapy' for nervous fingers, 91 easily made by young people who want to KNIT — or they can be crocheted. In groups, the guides, brown owl, or an interested mother can see that they are assembled into small blankets. Blankets and clothing are alie badly needed in Korea and you can mark the box "KOREA" and send 'it •to the, same address as above. Quilts and blankets — with the advent of the electric blanket there are piles of quilts and blankets sitting in closets — when do,you thinli you will use them? People in Jordan and Korea and many other countries NEED them — and they will really be thankful for them. So why nat. part with some of them — for a good cause. always a touchy subject. In this country the rhajority have never known need or real hardship. I'll grant you most of them have had to work hard for everything they havftand so resent people suggestinethey help others, who are not as hard working — I not always luck -that gets you what you want. But there comes a time in the life of so many when they find they have many -"good" things stOred away. Do you think the young folk who. come after you will need these things? You haven't had need of them fori long time — do you think whoever you leave these things to will be a lot poorer terrible cOnditions little children isitlian you are? must live under in some parts of - Times and our way of life, the world. change very quicklY.

In -that country, the temperature goes from one extreme to the other — every day, terrific heat and freezing cold every night. These people huddle together , for warm th. 'AT.' They have no way of 'buying •these, things since most have no income — or very little, and prices—as in our country—are very high. Many of you have already started your "spring cleaning" and will thoughtlessly send 'hundreds of pieces of usuable clothing to our already overloaded—dump, when they are begging for these things. If you would just throw the usable clothing, etc., into a carton, then tie it up and send it to — UNITARIAN SERVICE COMMITTEE, 541 SUSSEX DRIVE, OTTAWA 2, you will. be repaid in many ways for your mail box attractive.
