The d is classed as a "death trap" which may come tumbling down at any time. The building, located near the town's sewage disposal plant, was formerly used as a pump- house, the dog control officer stated. He could not hazard a guess as to its age. 'I could take the building apart brick by brick with my hands," Mr, Chase stated, 'and it wouldn't be too difficult," The establishment has deter. jorated to such an extent dogs are often forced to share quar. ters with huge rats infesting the area, 'The rats come from the sewage treatment plant," Chase stated, "Often they are and crawl into the iiding to die." CAGES TOO SMALL Another bad point of the build: ing is the lack of proper hous- ing. The dogs picked up by the officer are kept in 12 cones, four feet long and two feet wide, The officer suggested the pound could be enlarged to hold 16 cages with dimensions in- creased to four feet by four feet. "The dogs. should also have a runway to exercise in," he said. Under even normal condi- tions the officer holds dogs 72 hours either to be picked up by their owners or to be de- stroyed, "There just isn't suffi- cient space to keep the animals any longer," he said, "After 72 hours, cooped up in the small cage the dogs can hardly be controlled not to mention releas- ing them to their owners. There should be individual runways at least 20 feet long where the dogs could run in the fresh air," he said. 'If runways were avail- BRICKS ARE FALLING OUT ple.

They had fellows like Gien Lotton, who won the most valu- able player in Sr. lacrosse this season, in their line up. They had the goalie, Pat Baker, who for the fourth season. in-a-row won "the goalie with the best goals against average." They also had a lot of unsung heroes, Jerry Burrows, who did such a masterful job of checking the big name Pete players, Ken Lot- ton, the Vipond brothers, Don Craggs, the scrappy Oshawa product, who seems to thrive on the tough going, Elmer Tran, by Lasco Steelers Jr. B team fired home three goals, for his best night since joining the Sr. A_ranks.
