also enjoy our walk past the Egmondville
golf course. One of these days we will drop
in for a coffee.
We have all become good friends,
laughing with some and almost in tears for
one who lost her pet dog who was so dear.
Isn't this what life is all about? Not worring
about buying the necessities (like false
teeth:) or whatever, but being glad we are
here instead of in a cement vault, when we
will, no longer be able to spread cheer. After
all we have little time to feel hate - only,
love.
The Pacemakers will be going on a short
holiday in the fall and there will be a few
who want to see us go, especially the ones
who we wake up easily with our chatter.

Staff .
• from page 1
"He (Mr, Hanley) doesn't make the
decisions. The board has asked him to
Clarify some things on occasion - which
may make them assume he's running
things. But. that's not the way it is,t1 he
said.
The staff also felt there was a lack of
positive reinforcement by the board,.
although the health unit staff "has a
reputation among our peers for programs
Which are innovative and progressive",
the brief stated.
Mr. McBurney says the staff, perhaps,
feel -the board doesn't get involved in the
day-to-day operations. But, because of
time constraints, viewing of the operations
of the health unit is not possible.
Also, Mr. McBurney says staff com-
plaint may have something to do with
salary negotiations earried out by the
board.
"It goes back to money. Some may have
thought they didn't get the money they
should have during negotiations," he said.
Pets
• .from page l
the fining of those who ignore the new
Compulsory Rabies Vaccination Program
in the county which came into effect on
March 2 of this year.
Mr. Stirling suggested that perhaps
those hired by the municipalities to sell
dog tags could also cheek vaccination
papers. • •
Exeter Reeve 13i11 M ckle asked that the
new $50 fine be publicised in the
newspapers' to tell the public that if th'e
animal is not vac'cinate'd they will subject
to a fine.
"The county could use this (publicity) as
a warning. This would guard against com-
ing down on people about vaccinations and
them not knowing anything about it,"'he
said.
Tuckersinith Reeve Robert Bell said he
also had doubts about the policing of th'e
fine. however, he said it is up to everyone
in the county to snake sure that their pets
are vaccinated
From One of the Pacemakers
by Betty McLean
What a lovely spring we are having and'it
has even. been more pleasant this year
We because' e have all shared it together.
• The harsh east winds have even heard our
'laughter but were strong enough to make
some of us turn back at the first mile and•a
quarter. We have had -to use our umbrellas a
few times, once when it felt like rain and
then turned into a blizzard. But, through it
all we laughed and joked, taking time to en-
joy 'the scenery, the .first birds - "specially
' all the geese and the ground hogs watching
us from their homes near the river. Even
the cows gave us the odd moo, likely
wondering about these laughing earth
people. •
It's all been great. If you haven't tried it

crease of over 8 per cent). On average, the
largest farms were found in Saskatchewan
(1,038 acres per farm). while the smallest
farms were found in Newfoundland (139
acres per farm).
