Walls said that if he could have taken the same step to county government here he would have stayed in Goderich rather than leave for another county and another town or city. He liked living here and leaves with some reluctance.

Cal l 3 HOUR SERVICE REPAIRS AND ALTERATIONS 524-6231 I purchased a purebred Chihuahua in May -'76. I, as the owner, completed and sent the registration papers along with a cheque to the Canadian Kennel! Club in Toronto. This cheque was promptly cashed but to date have heard nothing, in spite of writing them. Would you be kind enough to see if you can get me some results as I do want to breed the dog. We wrote the Canadian Kennel Club and, since then our reader has received an acknowledgment from their registration division. Uraortunately however, it does little to ease her mind as it still leaves doubt as to whether the dog is actually a registered purebred or not.
