Once again the Wingham District

dogs were seen pulling down a young
fawn adjacent to the Ilay swamp
---area.-The 1kill was just - inside the-
fenceline along 1 lighway tt:l at conces-
sion 6-7 of Hay 'Township.
Complaints have come in from
Morris. Howick and East and West
Wawanosh Townships in Huron Coun-
ty, Culross and Carrick Townships in
Bruce County as well as Fullarton
Township in Perth County where dogs
did drag down and kill a deer last
week. More recently a deer was pull-
ed down and killed on the Maitland
River near Wingham.
Deep snow by itself is hard for deer
to_maneuver in, but whore crust -is -
added to that snow the problem gets
worse as some dogs will stay up on the
crust while the deer, especially when
they are running, will cut through the
crust and use up their energy quick-

better known native sons was silenc-
ed on Thursday %Oil h.lhe death of ('y
Strange.

Township �n June 22. 1914. the son of
John and Millie Strange.
For the past 17 years. Strange co -
hosted the ('lie "Fresh Air" radio
show with Bill McNeil. and the hyo
drew a vast audience of listeners from
across Ontario. Quebec an the nor-
thetn U.S.
Their show aired Saturday and Sun-

Strange ..�,,uccumhed to cancer on
Thursday afternoon and was buried
in Toronto on Monday. Ile wds
predeceased by his wife. Irma. Ile is
survived by two children. Michael

"Dad really enjoyed people."
Michael Strange said from Toronto in
an interview on Friday and explain-
ed that he had a great love for this
area.
When he was 12 years old, Cy mov-
ed with his family to Exeter, where
he joined a group of four young men
who sang and played banjo- and
guitar. Cy was soon singing on radio
station CFPL in London. by the mid
1930s, he was touring Ontario and the
border states as a vocalist with the
Jack Kennedy Orchestra.
Cy's singing career led to his first
townshi
ly, allowing the dogs to move in for
the kill.
And kill is generally all the dogs will
do. The majority of the dogs involv-
ed are not hungry. They just rip up
the carcass and leave it to look for
another victim.
When the family dog shows up at
home after his daily or nightly killing
spree ----many- dog—owner
realize what their dog has been up to
or when advised by a Conservation
Officer as to what their dog had done,
refuse to believe it.
Under the Game and Fish Act it is
an offence to allow your dog to run at
large during the closed season for
deer. Please keep your dogs under
control especially during the winter
and spring where the deer are very
vulnerable.
Conservation Officers and Police
Officers are authorizedunder the
Game and Fish Act, to destroy any
dog found running deer. Enforcement
Officers only resort to this in problem
areas or where the dogs cannot be
caught and identified. - -
If you observe dogs chasing deer,
please contact the Ministry of Natural
Resources. Do not shoot at the dogs.
Only enforcement personnel are
authorized to do so. There are a
number of hunters in the field during
the winter hunting fox, coyotes and
rabbits with hounds. Sometimes these
hounds will chase a deer. The hunters
do not want this and will reprimand
their dogs when they catch them.
Please keep your dogs under con-
trol and call the Ministry to handle
any dog -deer problems,

announcing job with Northern Broad-
casting at CKGB Timmins. In an in
terview with Bill McNeil on CBC
Radio's Voice of the Pioneer last fall,
Cy reminisced about his Timmins ex-
perience: "1 literally—had_ to do '•
everything there. including sweeping
the floor. i wrote commercials and I
learned how to type. I worked in the
record library, looked after the news
machines, read newscasts, played at
being a disc jockey and answered the
phone ... it was exciting to work that
way because you had all the latitude
in the world and you could do prac-
tically anything you wanted."
4n--1943;-edteraryeal''S'Stnpn'Vir'of
CKWS in Kingston, Cy became a staff
announcer aT CFRB in Toronto.
Among the broadcasting personalities
that he worked with during that
period were Jack Dennett, Gordon
Sinclair. and Kate Aitken. Cy 'had
fond memories of working with Jack
Dennett and the practical jokes' that
they played on each other. A favourite
trick of Cy's was to leave the studio
just as Dennett prepared to read the
11:00 p.m. news and flick off the
lights. Dennett, not to be outdone,
would pull the same trick when Cy
was reading commercial spots.
After leaving CFRB, Cy spent two
years working for BBC Radio, Televi-
sion, and the British movie -industry
in London, England. Ile.returned to
Canada as a freelance announcer and
radio/TV producer. By 1961, Cy had.
purchased Dominion Broadcasting, a
broadcast production company.
Cy once said of Fresh Mr: "Wars,
upheavals, disasters and scandals
belong to Monday to Friday. Saturday
and Sunday belong to us on Fresh Air.
We've made countless thousands of
friends who write to us as family and
share our joys and sorrows."
in addition to his work on Fresh Air,
Cy narrated many episodes of CRC
TV's The Nature Of Things, and was
co -host of From Now On, CBLT TVs
series for the older adult.
During last fall's Voice Of The
Pioneer interview, Cy observed: "If
'work' is really the word that some
say it is, then I've never 'worked' a
day in my life. I've enjoyed every day
of My more than 50 years."
