YY Yy yyy garbage pick-up days. ' We have all seen littered garbage by loose dogs. I, for one, love to go for walks, but get terrif- ied when loose dogs come up to me growling, thinking they are pro- tecting their own pro- perty. I have also seen loose dogs fighting when children are around. Heaven knows what would happen if the children were to inter- vene. However, this is no excuse to kill or maime a dog, its not the dog's fault. How about us dog owners having a little more consideration for our dogs and other people also our reliable garbage collector by keeping our dogs fenced in and leashed when walking. We owe this much to our faithful friends. Yours truly, The owner of a dog that is fenced in. Disarmament? Dear Sir: Regarding the Oper- ation Dismantle meet- ing your paper covered February 28 in Port Perry: Drivers beware of kids Dear Sir: Spring is coming. (Remember where you read about it). This means many young people will be getting out their. bic- ycle, clean it, grease it, adjust brakes and gears and hit the road. (Their muscles complaining). This means some de- ranged motorist will likely take the opportun- ity to try to cut them off at an intersection or the prime of life. Some kind soul will slow down while pass- ing, allowing them to hit potholes, bumps and sewer gratings they would normally have missed. Another with their best interests at heart will throw things to get their attention also drive up behind them and honk the horn to startle them. Still another, parked, will wait until they reach them then open the door. Still drivers will cut them off, try to squeeze them into the curb, stop right in front of them, do anything to test the limits of brakes, reflexes, patience and temper. Motorists, please be careful. Many cyclists will be out there soon and they will be very vulnerable. You should treat all cycists exactly as you would any other vehicle with respect and witli attention to the laws of the road. But if you just keep your dis- tance, they will settle for that. Think - Motorists - no open season on cyclists. Roy Walker Smith Port Perry, Ontario I wonder if the 25 well- intentioned people in attendance gave any thought to ensuring that the Soviets also disarm? If not first, then at least at the same time. I too fear a global nuclear disaster, but all evidence shows that this is more likely should the democratic countries of the world disarm leav- ing all nuclear power in the hands of a country like Russia, whose national policy is armed aggression and eventual world dominance. The shooting out of the sky is an unarmed passenger Korean jetliner by Soviet fighter-pilots should provoke a second, hard look at the issue by even the most ardent "anti-nuke" person. I found it ironic that this disarmament meet- ing was held at the United Church. The United Church was the only church out of seven in Port Perry I Associates win awards Morley Bruce, Presi- dent of RE/MAX Scugog Realty Ltd., in Port Perry, is proud to an- nounce the winner of the outstanding sales achievement award in 1983.

The choices, 'yes', "no", "doesn't matter" were offered. Of 68 partici- pants, the results were: Yes -59; No-0; Doesn't Matter -9. The ones to whom it didn't matter were from Toronto, Ottawa, Britain, Oshawa and Unionville. This is enough in- centive for me to stay open Thursday and Fri- day nights for many years lo gome.
