But in this case the petrol having to disagree with., a very happened to be in one of the town's fire trucks, which just happened nice and popular person- like to be parked behind the police station. Councillor Stan Profit told Mrs: Martha Ratfiburn, but I his ,fellow councillors that people have walked in the front .door of cannot go along with the the fire hall .and syphoned gas out of the tire trucks. He also said he sentiments expressed in her was at a meeting t'other night and some fellow walked in the fire recent column concerning dogs. hall an& used one of the electrical outlets. "Had a shave did he?" It may appear that I am stuck quipped couneillor Frank Walkom. It Iooks.like locks are going to be on the,subject and very possibly 'installed on the gas,caps of our fire trucks. Meanwhile, a.5 councillor , 4M, since to me the matter Stan added, suppose the higgest giggle of all is that it's right resents a principle 1 think -is. arrd-verrimportant • cruisers! tanks are intact. We think. the question of give-and-take * * * . of any civilized community. ***And does it come as any surprise to anyone that reeve Pap! e Carroll was seeking the NDP nomination at that group's meeting, Within thframework Sof which was held last night in Clinton?.

All you have to do is drive a fire truck up and down and. let the siren go. A fire call Monday morning at 96 Elgin Street made us realize just, how easily a scene of a tire could become so congested that firefighting cOuld be hampered to a degree of perhaps 'even life-and.death. Fortunately the incident Mondaymorning wasalmost negligible. But someday these people who insist on followingfire department vehicles to the scene are going to get their. money's - worth when it comes to sightseeing. The homeowner whose call the department is answering won't be so lucky. * * * ***Sunda we ventured over to watch the regular weekly band concert and the result was a hot -cold -feling. Weather-wise the evening was almbst perfect. And yet there just didn't seem to be that many people there. We would have to guesstimat-aibend 300 were, there all told what with those in cars, around the grounds and even across the street. Surely, we can do better than, that. The concert in question - the 3M Pipe Band from London - wasn't the best we've seen and heard. The MC apologized for the groupsaying„ they had marched seven- miles outto -,.Lambeth- and seven miles back t�* London the previous day_ and the group did provide entertainment free of charge so we aren't looking a gift horse in the mouth but it zwadiffictilts-toArunderstand".*Ity,:only,' three --'Or Sour -nunibrs,rere played p 4 anns And it is aso-difficult lounderstand-why-a------- town the $izeof Godprich can't provide a better' turnout at -events of this nature. - Basically, all the programs lined up by the local Laketown Band are top-noch talented musical groups. This corning Sunday will see the Norwich Musical' Society Band, with our own Laketown Band in concert the following week. And then,' July 11, the -well-known Paris Citizens' Band will present two concerts- one at 2 p.m. and the other at 7 p.m. bo try and get out— if only to see VvhatyOu have been missing. unrestricted "freedom". For this we have to give up some of the things we 'Mightersonally feel inclined to do, if these things conflict with the benefit of the community in general. In other words, we must exercise our rights and freedoms in such a • manner which does not 4duce or destroy the rights of others. In my opinion, any comparison with a zoo does mt hold; as a zoo is usually for Wild antmts, whereas our dogs are domesticated creatures Who need our care andproection for survival. Besdes, it has never been suggested that logs .be ttept in cages, just under control, I think it is a misplaced sentimentalityto, presume that a d�acan be happy onlyitizeir. run unrestricted all over town. I know many People who keep their dogs tinder loving control and 1invite anyone to show how thesedogs are -less, happy and healthy. Of course, these people are prepared to spend a little time on their pets. The thing about "a child and ,a dog" is ' true to a certain extent. Yes, ev:,:s child should ) possihty have a tg, but.at the same time every child should be taught to respect the rightsand feelings of other people (as well as other dogs) and that he and hi $ dog are part of a community, not its sole and unrestricted occupants. Last winter I was present as a visitor at a Connell meeting where • .11, father displayed the badly torn scarf his small son had been wearing around his neck when attacked by a dog apparently running through the neighbourhood: Portunately, . there had been sonebody near, enough to rescue the child from' the dog before really drasfic :11,givirveyeadatte:idOltePTimPfattret!" pleaded with the Council to make sure our strets' and neighbourhoods are safe •from dogs. 1 am on that fathees side,' Keeping dogs under control Rams, neither dogs nor chldren, it simply provides the protection to which we are entitled.
