country with a Canadian citizen as

Myron Baloney will probably go
down in history as the greatest
political disaster ever to befall
Canada. Many people have
complained about his adding eight
conservative senators to the senate
of Canada so that the GST bill can
receive approval and become law.
But what has really infuriated me is
that the head of the government of
Canada, think of him what you will,
has had to go cap in hand, tugging
at his forelock, bowing and scraping
no doubt, to ask the head of state of

A last by-law was passed to deem

JOINT PROJECT
Tuckersmith Township and the
Town of Seaforth will sign an
agreement which will allow four
Tuckersmith Township homes to
utilize the Seaforth sewer system.
The four homes, located on George
St. South, will be the only ones to
tap into the town service, and of-
ficials say, they will do so at no
cost to the town. No construction
will be required, and other homes
on the street are already hooked up
to the Tuckersmith system.
REINFORCE CONVICTION
Local garbage contractor Jerry
Nobel was before council again last
week to reinforce his conviction
that the Town of Seaforth should
have a recycling program, and that
he is just the person to handle it.
Mr. Nobel reminded council that
Seaforth was unique in its garbage
collection, in that customers pay for
their own service, and said it could
be unique in its recycling as well.
"I'm confused about what direc-
tion council is going, and all I'm
hoping to do is get the support of
council in general re: my proposal,"
he said.
"1 would like to emphasis though,
that council has alway been a sup-
porter of keeping business in town,
in the past. It makes good sense
regarding jobs, and cash flow. I just
hope council takes a serious look at
our proposal. I think we're the best
bet when it comes to recycling. We
can be the most reasonable, reliable,
and provide the best dollar value
for the recycling program. You can
belong to Bluewater without being
a part of the blue box system. We
have a unique situation in that a
local contractor is interested in
recycling. Not every town has that
option when they look into
recycling."
a foreign country for permission to
change governmental procedures in
Canada. Obviously Canada, sup-
posedly a self-governing country for
almost 125 years, is it fact nothing
more than a British colony.
I believe Canada and the
Canadian people deserve to be truly
politically independent with a
Canadian citizen as the head of
state of Canada, a person who
should be someone other than he
head of government and not com-
bined in one person as in the
president of the U.S.A. Canada
should be a member of the British
Commonwealth, La Francophonie,
the O.A.S., and many other or-
ganization. It's fine with me if the
Queen of England visits Canada
often, and I don't object to the
expense of these visits. Indeed, I
don't want her riding around in a
rusty Volkswagen beetle to dine on
soggy hamburgers at old
McDonald's. No sir, I want Canada
to treat visiting heads of state with
class and style, royally even. And I
want for Canada one of our own
citizens as our head of state. Is that
really asking too much for Canada
and the Canadian people?

high up in the hay loft, so
that it's impossible for the human
to find them and "get rid of them"
before they're too big to catch.
How inconsiderate!
The old way of thinking is that
having barn cats neutered is too
expensive, but when the alternative
is to kill liuer after liner of kittens,
some people just ignore the
problem as their cat population gets
way out of control.
Because I've often noticed happy -
looking healthy cats around our
local feed mill, i checked to see if
they could use any more mill cats.
No. They asked me if I knew
anyone who could give a home to
some kittens. it seems that one of
the men at the mill had found a
sealed cardboard box full of living
starving kittens by the railway track
a week before, and he had rescued
them.
I'm an animal lover. Dunng the
years when 1 was raising purebred
Cairn Terriers, i belonged d to the
Canadian Kennel Club and one of
the most endurahk things that i
learned from this membership was
their mouo, "Dogs deserve respon-
sibility". This is true for any type of
animal that we have chosen to own.
Nothing angers me more than
seeing a sad eyed dog past the
puppy stage, rooting through the
neighbourhoode and hanging
around hopefully waiting for an
errant master to appear or failing
that, adoption, as it grows thinner
and dirtier. The same goes for
pregnant cats and sealed boxes of
link kittens. If I ever witness such
a "drop off', I'll make a citizen's
arrest! People who abandon once -
loved pets are beneath comment.
The Huron County Health Unit is
sponsoring Anti -Rabies Clinics
throughout Huron County on Oct.
17th and Oct. 20th. This is probaly
to complement recent airplane drops
of anti -rabies bait for wildlife in the
county. There's a recognition here
that Huron County is perhaps the
most rabies picric region in Ontario.
At these clinics, for only $9. each,
you can mustier up all the barn cats
and their kittens, and march them
out for their annual fix.
The old way of thinking was that
these shots should be free, but this
is 1990, and nobody expects
something for nothing these days.
Has anyone tried yet to negotiate
group rates for great numbers?
You never know!
Anti -rabies inoculation is the law,
and I believe it's a good and sen-
sible law. By taking part in this
program you're protecting yourself
and your family as well as all
animals, whatever their value, on
your farm. And you're helping to
eradicate rabies - a very terrible
disease.
Perhaps you know some people in
your community who are older and
cannot get the cat populations in
their barns under control. Maybe
this would be a good opportunity to
lend a hand, sort of a "Have cat
cage, will travel" proposition. Talk
to them and encourage them to take
advantage of these clinics. Offer
them help in rounding up all the
wild ones and go with them to the
clinic. Sometimes you have to do
the right thing yourself, and then do
a little more to help others do their
part in getting a problem under
control.
