The Animal Alliance has in the past two years saved from the Newcastle Pound someanimals that were destined for research, by adopting them and keeping them until good homes could be found. Despite the efforts, several hundred pound animais have been sold. to Ontario research faciities.. Bryan Kozman, in a letter addressed to.the Town Council points out that "in Great Britain, where the use of live animals to train health care professionals has been prohibited by law since 1893, medical training faciities do not turn out lower quality doctors or veterinarians than we do in Ontario." He adds, "when Animal Alliance visited a Toronto research facility, we saw a dog taken from the Oshawa Pound which had been used in an experiment for more than nine years. The behaviour of the dog was similar to other animnals we have seen who have been kept i confinement for long periods of time." The Animal Alliance and- Durham Animal Adoption have collected the naines of more than two thousand Newcastle residents who believe that the sale of pets front the Bowmanville Pound for now de adlocked at two. Numerous chances were had l'y both but each goaiie turned aside ail that came their way., The opposition had the only power play of the period when Jeff Mercier took a tripping penaity.

On Monday, however, Council stated that the holding times for the animais have been lengthened in an attempt to frnd homes for al animais that corne into the shelter. To date, no animais have been sold for research purposes from the Town of Newcastle Pound this year. Elementary teachers disagree Elementary teachers with the Durhamn Board of Education have turned aside an offer recommended by a mediator and apparently was expected to be approved by the board. 1The teachers found a 0.5% increase on salaries and benefits inadequate, wanted reduction in teacher/student ratio where the mediator called for no change. The teachers also ruled out sharing in the cost of offering a, once-a-year personal day leave for teachers. ýe ce e BDook Rçev iew from Crystal Pages FOR THE GOOD 0F THE STATE by Anthony Price - Totally engaging! is one descriptive phrase for this book. So much se that it was necessar to focus my attention, at ail points throughout, no rapid reading here, no mïnd wandering off onto other things. The British Department of intelligence Research and Developinent in its continuai gaine of one-upmnanship, net only against foreign enemies but also against other departmnents in the internaIs of Uic spy gaine, works largely on its ewn. An aberrant and independent set of thinkers here, not easily controlleci, thinking themselves above the common stream, and down right bloody capable of what they set their mincis te. Chapter 1 in its dîfficuit labyrinthine design lets you know that Uic story, full of Russians and, Pales andi Americans thrown in for good measure, is very-up-tG7-date in its concentration upon the policy shifts necessitateci by the Gorbachev years. A mind-bending job being a spy. Almost impossible te imagine thc type of brain equal te Uic task. 1, for one, amn just now rushmng off te finci another of these impossible intrigues. Ail Price's nevels reflect his interest in history and archaeology, this book being no exception. 1Grafton Books - Recycleci
