canine control officer has tossed the council a hot potato that members are finding hard to handle she is asking for a policy on stray dogs kept in the pound for the required period and never claimed should they be destroyed by a qualified veterinarian as is the practice at present she asks or should they be released through a branch of the dept of agriculture for medical research the decision in our opinion is obvious release the animals for research pur poses the council however is hesitant to come to such a conclusion they of all things want the people to make the decision for them they will entertain advice pro or con from the general public naturally on an issue such as this emotions take priority over common sense every dog and catlover in the country will denounce a scheme that would place a pet dead or not in such a precarious plight never a thought of course for the human suffering that might be alleviated or human lives saved through experimentation of this kind no medical cures just happen by chance any council that continually allows itself to be swayed by public opinion minorities at that is not doing its job the time to face the electorate is at an election who will bell the cat the town of whitchurch stouffviile admittedly it is a rather cumbersome title particularly when a no 8 envelope is only 6v2 inches wide councillor merlyn baker sees it this way too he has recommended a change to whitchurch to stouffviile perhaps to switchville as one reader suggested mr baker doesnt say this is where our concern lies who will say councillor baker has suggested that the choice be placed before the electorate in the form of a referendum in other words let the people decide nothing in our opinion could do more permanent damage to the united effort of the two municipalities than an issue such as this from the very beginning when regional government was first discussed and the link between whitchurch and stouffviile was considered the fear of division was a distinct possibility that division did not occur in fact through the creation of disecting ward boun daries integration of boards and com mittees and other interlocking programs the weld between the two is stronger now than ever so let the town of whitchurch stouffviile stay unless council not the people wishes to come up with something entirely new pool sign not convincing this pool is heated reads a sign in bold redblock letters however stouffviile bathers would be wise not to take the assurance too seriously if they do depending on the day they could be in for a frigid surprise regardless of what the sign says the water is cold ice cold at times creating considerable discomfort par ticularly to children taking lessons during earlymorning hours many parents have voiced complaint we can recall when equipment for the purpose of heating the pool was installed by the lions club at considerable ex pense and whether psychological or not it did seem to help but not any more there are those who say that kids today are soft that they should be thankful to have a pool at their disposal and not be concerned if the water is hot or cold this however is not the point we say that if the stouffviile pool is in fact heated then heat it if not then remove the sign water water the stouffviile memorial park with all its uptodate facilities still lacks a fountain service where athletes and particularly children can obtain a refreshing drink of water lets hope the community centre board can scrape together sufficient funds to install such a unit during the current summer season the contract could also include repairs to the cross- stream foot bridge before someone breaks a leg 1 a vanishing trade jedtor 3ail dear sir i most strongly protest the action of the york regional police in banning the sale of the current issue of playboy magazine in york county this is a gross in fringement on my right as an adult to read whatever material wish to read staff inspector wally harkness insists the magazine has not been banned nor have storekeepers been forced to with draw the magazine from their display racks he says storekeepers are free to sell the magazine if they wish however if they do they face prosecution in a telephone conversation with me insp harknessrefused to reveal how many complaints he had received about the current issue of playboy but did admit he had received only one complaint from stouffviile the complaints ap parently were about a number of photographs in issue which insp harkness saidwere obscene and unduly exploited sex

10 percent of the magazines content however the content of the magazine is of secondary importance what is important is that a small number of people who were offended by the magazine have decided that other residents of york county will not be able to judge the magazine for themselves this despite the fact the magazine has hot been judged obscene in a court of law in 1966 when stouffviile residents were about to vote on the opening of liquor and beer outlets in the village i wrote and distributed a pamphlet advocating the opening of the outlets the pamphlet stated in part that if a minority could dictate where we could or could not purchase alcohol the minority would soon dictate what we could or could not read the minority was defeated then lets hope the minority will be defeated now roger varley pine street stouffviile dear editor for the past several summers i have worked indoors this year however i decided to obtain outside employment i therefore registered with

like to express my heartfelt thanks through your newspaper for all the cards and phone calls which i received after a recent accident it is difficult to express my deep ap preciation for the friendly concern that so many of your readers have expressed it means a great deal to me 40m4in jffimjnp playboy issue a real bust by jim thomas i was on vacation last week when news of the current playboy ban first hit the street as a matter of fact i learned of the magazines exile while scanning the pages of tuesday mornings globe naturally then the mass confiscation caught me completely by surprise totally unprepared for as feared york regions finest had already swept the town clean of every copy but i tried stopping at every store hoping that by chance one just one might have accidentally slid out of sight thus eluding the long arm of the law but no the seizure was thorough on each occasion i came away feeling as bare as the envisioned blonde in the centre spread and undoubtedly a good deal more embarrassed yes embarrased for im not a paid up subscriber or even a regular buyer of this obviously popular girlie book and it takes a good deal of nerve for me anyway to secretly squint through the pages while its still on the shelf let alone ask for a copy over the counter at the 1001 variety in the stouffviile plaza for example the clerk was a cute little thing about sixteen the con versation as i recall it went something like this me say pausepause you wouldnt happen to have a leftover copy of pausepause of the current issue of pausepause you know that pause- pause that magazine they pause- pause they call playboy she taking two steps back like i was about to grab her with both hands no we dont at least not any more im sorry i was the one to be sorry sorry i had asked however i attained some satisfaction from knowing that the blush on her face was only a reflection from my own next stop aikens pharmacy main street this time i didnt have to ask i could see at a glance the vacant space where the books had once been on to houstons drugs same result the police they were here this mor ning explained tony with a dont-ask- mewhy shrug of his shoulders by this time my curiosity had taken command there was no turning back i was not alone others with the same intended pur chase in mind were similarly affected stupid stupid stupid muttered one wouldbe customer theyve made it a collectors item thats what theyve done a collectors item agreed another disgustedly my search continued on to uxbridge no luck to claremont sold out down to pickering all gone over to ajax sold out there too i retraced my trail home but all was not lost a kindly soul name withheld took pity on my plight on return to work thursday i found a copy in living color large as life boldly exposed on top of my desk but dont stampede it was only on loan and besides its a bust sincerely molly newman rr1 ashburn a handprinted identification notice on an outside washroom in the goodwood community park reads men and womens lib and on the same subject now that the fall and winter issues of eatons catalogues are out a spring and summer copy would come in mighty handy at the same location j dear sir in regard to your article concerning the proposed canadian tire store and the consequent meeting of july 17 to consider opposition i wish to express my ad miration for the public spirited attitude of mr graydon card of cards dominion hardware considering that his business will be very much affected by the proposed store he had the marvelous grace to question the esthetic value of the proposed building no doubt for the benefit of the community at large i think the whole thing is hysterical harry dykstra stouffviile
