thing one hears about this dread disease georgetown council has taken sensible precaut ions by extending legislation to make it an offence for dogs to run at large at any time council by taking this step is not trying to im pose harsh measures on dogs or their owners quite the contrary they are trying to help dumb animals by keeping them free of rabies and much more import ant shielding humans from being bitten by dogs who may have contacted the disease so it is that a dog owner who loves his animal weekly tours an idea those privileged to take a bus tour through the delrex development recently got a first hand glimpse of what is in store for the new georgetown area the magnitude of the proect can best be realized when one travels over what were farm fields last year and visions rpws of houses factories and commercial es tablishments schools and parks in place of fields and grain history is in the making in georgetown and it is hard for an old timer to picture the town as it will be in a decade or two we have been used to more gra dual change and the picture of a town double or triple buy easter seals to more than 10500 children in ontario afflicted by accident disease or from birth by crippling condi tions that usually mean despair and dependence on others march is the month of hope easter seals a fund raising activity of the society for crippled children are the means by which ontario people om in the talk of making life better for these young people and heading them towards a selfdepen dent happy future this year the several service clubs which share in the seal sale have an objective of 625- 000 georgetowners in the past have been familiar with easter sales through the milton rotary club which has canvassed georgetown in its annual cam paign now with the formation of a local rotary organi zation there is an even more local touch and the club and who is aware of the seriousness of rabies will cooperate by complying with the order and those who do not will leave themselves open to a fine plus the expense of claiming their dog from the pound if he is picked up temporarily arrangements with oakville humane society to provide pound service m georgetown have not been finalized but it is expected that the next few weeks will bring such a service the public has had ample warning through news items and advr tisements of the procedure to follow any trouble which might arise then will be strictly the fault of the dog owner the size can only be crystallized on such a bus tour we wonder if it wouldn t be worthwhile for the delrex company to plan a series of such tours later in the spring when the general public could have an op portunity to see what is planned most people today in present georgetown wilt be affected by the changes in one way or another and have a lively interest in what is going on in the annexed area the tour might be tied in with raising funds for such proects as swimming pool or hospital and might be conducted under auspices of a service club which could make a nominal charge for the tour has adopted this as its first maor fund project already citizens in town and district have recei ved their seals m the mail with a request to send don ations m an enclosed envelope the campaign wa launched with a dinner at which the famous gus ryder showed what is being done at lakeshore swimming club this is only one of many things on which eas ter 5eal money is spent the society operates summer camps for handicap ped children pays for operations which could other wise not be performed gives trade training courses
