their two children it is harder to explain Of course cats are run over every day and other pets die in other ways hut this was murder Pie was shot Her breast and side torn away and her front legs broken by shot Perhaps she was the sport of some irresponsible young ster who could not find worthier game or perhaps an adult who certainly knew better Not only does she leave a sorrowing human family but Pie had two newborn kittens who may not survive her death This was done within sound of her home and her masters heard what was possibly the firing that killed her On Green Lane there arent many houses but we all have pets and now we must fear to let our cats out of the house Must we also fear for our children who could be hurt by- stray bullets which travel far beyond a missed target We will miss Pie and we hope her killer knows what he has done Mrs Paul Wilton 3 Newmarket Ontario Aurora Man Heads Jaycees NEWMARKET Bruce Mercer of the Aurora was elected president of District 8 at the
