AYFIELD - After a number of com-
plaints from citizens concerning loose dogs
in the village, council is prepared to take ac-
tion against these rambling rovers.
Councillor Helen Owen, while giving her
councillor's report at the March 3 meeting,
said she has received numerous complaints
from citizens about dogs running loose in the
village and creating a nuisance.
Clerk Pat -Graham said the procedure he
follows for complaints is to send notice of
the bylaw concerning dogs to the owner of
the'dog. The bylaw states loose dogs will be
picked up and transported to the South
Huron Veterinary Clinic in Zurich. The
owner is then responsible for paying the fee
for the release of the dog from the clinic. If
the dog is not picked tip within a short period
of time, it will be prat down.
• Currently, said Mr. Graham, road
superintendent Rick Penhale is in charge of
picking up any loose or stray dogs he finds in
the village.
Mr. Penhale, however, says he has yet
been unable to pick up any dogs. On one at-
tempt to catch a dog, he was bitten. He has a
steel cage to place the dogs, but doesn't
have -any apparatus to capture the dpgs.
"I'm not sure what I need to catch them,"
said Mr. Penhale. .
In assessing the situation, Reeve Johnston
said the village may be forced to hire a part-
time dog catcher as Mr. Penhale, as the
road superintendent, shouldn't be expected
to catch dogs.
"Rick has built a cage, but he hasn't been
able to catch them, and to be honest it isn't
his job to drive the streets after dogs," said
Reeve Johnston,
Councillor Jim Quick suggested council
step up their efforts to catch strays. "If we
took two or three dogs down there (to the
veterinary clinic) we would put the word out
that we mean business."
Council said all complaints should first go
to Clerk Graham- who will notify Mr.
Penhale as to the location of the dog. Mr.
Penhale will report back to council at their
next meeting on March 17 with any recom-
mendations regarding the catching of dogs.
"If you can catch them, catch therm; if you
can't we'll have to consider advertising for a
part-time dog catcher," said Reeve
Johnston.

introductory remarks said that it was the
21st birthday of the society and welcomed
all but two of the previous presidents who
were present.
The speaker, introduced by Doug Chubb,
was Al Wakelin, Planning Superintendent of
the Bruce Heavy Water Plant. To start with,
Mr. Wakelin said, he welcomed any oppor-
tunity of talking to people and explaining
nuclear power, clearing up misconceptions,
showing what was being done and identify-
'Mg the peaceful uses of nuclear energy.
Samples of substances frequently referred
to were handed round for examination - a
small phial of heavy water, a fragment of
uranium and a fuel bundle.
Nuclear energy, said Mr. Wakelin, was
older than mankind - the sun, - and nuclear
reactors were estimated to have commenc-
ed about two million years ago. Today's
discoveries had evolved from man's natural
instinct to learn about the world in which he
lived.
Bringing his audience up to date, Mr.
Wakelin explained that Rutherford's split-
ting of the atom in the 1920's brought about
. the realization that the process released
energy which could be harnessed. Subse-
quent research covered a good deal of
ground in a short time so that by 1944 a com-
plete reactor had been produced by the Na-
tional Research Laboratories. 1945 saw the
end result, a milestone in nuclear history,
ZEEP, and the end of thewar meant that
time could now be devoted to the exploration
of peaceful usage.
Both the Federal and Ontario govern-
ments appreciated this potential source of
energy and two small re -actors were built,
in fact the one built in 1947, Chalk River, is
still working today. By the 60s and 70s

United Church News
In the 1980s, Mr. Wakelin said, nuclear
energy had not proved as cheap as first an-
ticipated but nevertheless half of the elec-
tricity in the province was derived from this
source. Twenty five percent of the world's
supply of uranium came from Ontario - and
another important factor was the A reminder for the members of the UCW
