TILE HARRIS EXAMINER MONDAY FEBRUARY 36 1954 INNISF IL NOTES Not Dogs Dead Dogs By 55 From the Sunn South we must tell you about the wonder ful weather uhich has been coming our way day after day The temperature reaches into the 80s and rarely does it cloud up for morethan an hour The sun breaks through the windows about am and as much as one feels they would like to stay andrsleep longer the song birds and an occasional rooster hail the daylight and it just is impossible to sleep in We spent day at Daytona Beach yesterday and saw many Ontario cars parked on the Hands while thcir ouners basked in the sun and wavzs This is beach where motor traffic at ten miles per hour is permitted on the miles and miles of sand which end on the south atthc inlet where the Halifax river enters the sea some 25 miles down We drove down to this basin and found it was one of the popular fishing pl here one could enjoy surfvca hire boat for deepsen fishing The sands there extend at least two miles out into the ocean Mien the tide is low One could hardly believe that nothing but few miles of sand separated them from the crowds at Day tonn where hot dog stands and rental of scooters and other equipment kept the crowds en joylng themselves wlule down at the inlet feWiishermen and families gathered on the wide sands People like to be among people to have better time DOG CATCIIER HIRED We learn that Mr Ford was engaged as dog catdier for the township His duties were outlined in motion passed by Council at special meeting and covered in bylaw as Money collected is to be turned over to the township treasurer He must maintain the pound and destroy dogs alter impound ing them lorthe required time He will sell dog tagssuppiy his own transportation main tnin telephone keep records of all money collected and oi dogs destroyed Salary is to be $800 per your plus com mission of 15 per cent on the sale of dog tags The Councils motion does not give any definite instructions as to what method will be used to destroy dogs Weliope that it will be expected to meet with the approval of the Humane So ciety but this was not men tioned in the motion At the same special meeting council was concerned by tho lack of method of making coffee and the fact that it was some distance to restaurant Deputy Reeve Campbell was given instructions to obtain coffee percolator and used refrigerator so that coffee could be prepared in the new office building What we wonder is why refrigerator In some one going to stay there all the time The motion was presv ented by Councillors Todd and Sawyer Perhaps they feel they may have to staymyernight if the storms keep pilingln the roads We can understand Councillor Sawyers ranxiety living where he does and know ing the lane that leads to his home NO FILL NOW Cliff

fill at the park Council turned this down at this time Cliff was said to have his arm in sling and no one offered any explannA lion Did he fall or was he pushed Regarding the parts it IS noted that William Gibbins and William Richardson were added to committee to act as advisory consultants to the Countii Park Committee and make recommendations to the council Apparently they had not been consulted as to doing fill job at this time THORNTON ASK AREA DEFINED Thornton which wisha to take over an area to handle fire fighting for that portion of the township were back to council Tito area is now being handled by the brigades from Cooksiown and lnnisfil No mention is made of the equip ment Thornton are to use for this fire protection and we are unable to state that it is ac ceptable to the Underwriters Association Perhaps they are intending to purchase new fire truck as up to last year the oldtrudt used for years in Cookstowo was doing duty in Thornton SNOW STILL PROBLEM The Roads Department does not have much time to sit back and rest these days as accord ing to our information it blows and snows ngainas soon as out has been made through the drifts and the problem now is what to do with the snow It has been worse this last month than any on record and win tcr has become firing oven to those who have always said they enjdy it We are sorry for John Cow an and his crews who hardly ever get real nights sleep as someone is always getting stuck somewhere and wanting help to get home or away from home We have not heard that John has been host at the town ship shed to groups that could not get down the nth line as happened last winter We had hoped for visit from John and his wife down here if the snows did not get too bad but holi days now are out so long as the winter weather continues Towing services appear to be reaping harvest tbiswinter but apparently they also are wishing for good nights sleep We wonder how they get through when others fall In the Lakelands
