In praise of that ever faithful crossing guard
The Talk of the Town
Through sun or rain
Cold or Snow
He watches the children
Go to and fro
What a relief it must be for parents to
know there is a crossing guard there at the
corner to help their children go across the
busy highway when they are going to or
coming home from school.
Four times a day he leaves whatever he
is busy doing to be at the corner of
Havelock and Campbell Streets when it is
time for classes to start or finish.
So to Albert Lennips, we say thanks for
your faithfulness and concern for the
future generation.
Sympathy is extended to Gertrude Led-
dy and family in the passing of her
brother, John O'Connor.

Dear Editor;
Re: The proposed by-law forbidding the
discharge of firearms in Ashfield
Township.
It seems people have become upset with
the irresponsible actions of certain hunters
during November's deer season. For ex-
ample, some hunters are ignoring clearly
marked no trespassing signs and/or fail-
ing to obtain permission to hunt from the
property owners. There have also been in-
stances of the unsafe firing of weapons; for
instance, shooting across a public road.
As we understand it, the proposed area
to be regulated is part of the lake range in
Ashfield Township. Yet, the problems
stated above are not isolated to this one
area.
If this by-law should come into effect it
would mean that absolutely no-one would
'be able to discharge a firearm for any
reason. I am afraid I do not find this very
realistic for several reasons.
1. Are farmers' suppose to allow their
crops and fields to be ruined by deer,
groundhogs and other rodents?
2. Are farmers to allow a rabid animal to
infect their livestock?
3. Why should people who enjoy practis-
ing their marksmanship on Targets or by
skeet shooting be prevented from doing
so?
4. There is every possibility that should
this by-law be enacted that it would
necessitate the hiring of a by-law officer.
The end result is higher municipal taxes
for everyone.
I sympathize with the problems created
by those hunters who have not acted
responsibly. But, I see no reason why
everyone else should suffer for it. There
are laws that deal with trespassing as well
as the proper use of firearms. However,
there is nothing the authorities can do if
the) are not contacted at the time of an in-
cident or if they are not contacted at all.
If the purpose of this by-law is to prevent
the dangerous and inconsiderate actions of
a certain few hunters then it, is pointless. If
people will not contact the authorities
regarding the hreaking of the existing
laws; why would they for a by-law
contravention

The Trinity 441 Club held their first 'En-
counter the Outdoors' meeting last Friday,
March 25. The meeting was begun when
Suzanne Andrew introduced the new
members of the club.
The officers were elected at this
meeting. Shauna Andrew was elected
president while Vanessa Alton was voted
vice-president. The job of secretary will be
rotating.
Shauna opened the business portion of
the meeting by asking everyone to repeat
the 4-H pledge. Next, the group learned
why it is important to learn about the out-
doors, fire building and even campfire
snacks.
The next meeting of the group will be
held Friday, April 1.
