Illegal dumping of cat
litter on Hannah Line
sickens writer
To the Editor,
While a letter about
such weighty subjects,
as our health • care
system or conflict res-
olution in the Middle
East might be more
au courant, this, letter
is about a mere tri-
fling irritant of a per-
sonal nature: the.
dumping of cat litter.
This letter is a plea
to the person who has
the sick, disgusting
and illegal habit of
dumping their cat lit-
ter on Hannah Line
road, please stop.
While deep down
inside me I'd really
rather like to say "dis-
pose of the cat,"
instead I'll restrain
myself and simply ask
this person to restrain
from the habit of dis-
posing the cat litter in
this manner.
Civic authorities
advise that the appro-
priate method of dis-
posal of cat litter. is in
the regular landfill
waste. If the cost of
waste bag tags is pro-
hibitive, please advise
and I'll help raise the
necessary funds to
purchase them.
Thanks for your con-
sideration.

Cats have servants,
not owners

No one owns a cat.
Dogs have owners but
cats have servants.

George Sproat of Tuckersmith

accident a few days ago. He was
unloading hay with a horse fork

the load to the floor, severely injur-
ing his back and shaking him up
generally.

Dolena Wilson, second daughter
of J.A. Wilson has been engaged as
teacher in school section No. 1,

cient teacher.

Rumor has it that at G.T. McKay
of Kippen has rented his farm to
James Berry who recently sold his
farm in Hibbert. Mr. McKay has
got a good tenant in Mr. Berry. Mr.
McKay is gaining such a wide rep-
utation in the cement business that
he finds it too much to properly
manage both his farm and his
other business, so he wisely holds
on to that out of which he thinks
he can make the most money.
