IHe wauid also know that Milton young ladies whti tiance are fully as mcidest as ihose who don't anti that bis remarks about lhem were uncalleti for. to say the least. There have been no such parties in Milton since Mr. Ctoiley preacheti bis sermon, but the Lenlen season. not the sermon accounts for that. Mr. Cooley also denounceti bock' ey anti basebail as games, wbîch causeti tbe players lu frequeni hotels anti il may be inferreti ta drink there. He iv not a patrtin of titese games anti it seemv tites not ktiow that no basebail tir hockey manager bas any use for tiritikers anti that ail gooti managers insisi on lem- perance among their players. Two hockey r matches now ativertiseti, are tti be playeti in Milton. If the visiting players put up ai a hotel insteati of eating ai a ban sbop anti if members tif the local team go tti the hotel ta meel tbemn, it iv possible thai ail will manage ta keep sober, as a matier tif gooti training. if for tit other reason. Tbtiugh titis i iv true, a sermon ta hockey players tit the subject tif clean, fair play anti against the brutaiity ta wbicb some trams are atidicteti mighl do gooti but as far as Milton iv con- cernet only as a warning. Mr. Cooley's remarks about the amusements tif thte young people tif Miltoni were, tif course, intendeti for ibeir gotit. TMe trouble was that he ktiew as uitile about thase amuse- ments having nolbing ta tit witb tbem. Many ministers tof the gospel, insteati tif keeping aloof from sncb amusements, take part in tbem. or ai least mingle witb the young people wbile the later are engageti in tbemn wiib gooti resuits.

The Terry Fox Fountiation iv raising more than just money for witb 89 cents tif every dollar raîseti going dicecily ta cancer research. This is dionc by baving a very smaii staff anti no butiget for fancy marketing campaîgns or media coverage.

Melissa JanJevlch and Christina Godbolt, co-ordinators Milton Te"r Fox Ffun In responsible hands, 257l-foot dog leashes safe Dear Editor: The Champion's recetit article mentioning my cors- ing back ta council about retractable leashes bas causeti quite a stir. Ficst off, let me state that 1 would neyer vuggevi a tiog shoulin't be on a short ieash whrn arounti other people or animais. Howevrr, baving a 25-foot retractable ieasb at full extension docsn't pose a risk ta anytine wben nobody iv arounti. Furthermore, a 25-foot leash affords betier scope for trainiing a tiog, anti gives it mare exercise. Unftirtnnately we bave no plans for a leasb-frrr park in Milton, even thougb there arr butidretis across the conntry that operate beautifully. Our comunities are affordig us vmaller anti vmal- er lots these days, necessitatinig exercise on a leash off onr'v prtiperty. Responsible pet owners recognize this anti always bave theic tiogs on a short leasb wben arounti others. Acrosi Canada there are very few communuties that actually speil ont wbat an acceptable leasb lengvb is in ibrir bylaws, oniy stating Ihat the tiog must be untier the cantrol tif the owner at ail limes. Simpiy baving a tiog on a seven-foot leasb tiocsn't carry witb it automatic control. lt'v the persan 10 wbomn the leasb iv atiacheti that either bas ctintrol, or docsn't. My veterinarian agees by vaying, "A tiog shouiti be on a ieasb, anti untier contrai." A leasb tif any iengtit tiocînt auttimaticitily mean contrai. Wbat we nerd iv betier contrai over irresponsibir pet owners. Iti neyer rivk anybody's life or security unnecessar- ily, yet i believe il ta be unfair ta bave ta keep sncb a tigbt rein on any animal ai ail limes when nobotiy iv artinit. I believe every respansibir tiog owner woulti agree witb me, anti there are hutidretis tif thousantis tif people ont ibere using reiractable leashes. This iv where l'm coming from an the issue tif the irasit law. Jan Mowbray, Ward 3 councillor Lack of support for football team truly disappointing Dear Editor: Recently our Milton Marauders football tram retumnet from Edmonton as national champions. Ibis was a tremendous acctim- pivbmetit for ibis gronp of young men. Hawever, I'm embarrassedti l report that the Town tif Milton titi- nIt contribule 10 the tram's travel- ling expenses. Unfortunateiy, as a resuit. not ail tif the Marauders were able to make the trip.
