The contract of service was retroactive to January 1, 1990 and runs to December 31, 1990. A third by-law was passed authorizing the acquisition of lands from Frank Kling Limited and the estate of Frank Kling, at a cost of $35,000. And a fourth by-law amended a by-law which authorized the creation and designation of parking spaces on highways and/or municipal and/or private property for cars with special permits.

Independence • from page 2 country with a Canadian citizen as the head of state of Canada. 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 Rabies A last by-law was passed to deem registered plans not be registered. 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?

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.
