evening was almbst perfect. And yet there just didn't seem to be that

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

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

same time every child should be
taught to respect the rightsand
feelings of other people (as well
as other dogs) and that he and

not its sole and unrestricted
occupants.
Last winter I was present as a
visitor at a Connell meeting
