I couldn't move, so I phoned the police." That is how Whitby dog con- trol officer, George Chase, de- scribed the situation when about 20 children of the Dove- dale and Dunlop Street area of Whitby decided to protest the picking up of loose dogs. Mr. Chase added, "One boy stuck his foot in front of the wheel of my car and dared me to run over it. He said if I did, his father would sue me." When Mr. Chase moved into the area, the children decided they should do something to protect the safety of their own dogs. Aided by Linda . Moyle, 15, and Beth George, 14, the younger children made up ea sign reading, "We love our dogs. Dog catcher go home." They paraded around the block and met Mr. Chase coming the other way. A policeman soon arrived at the scene and quickly settled the matter. He confiscated the children's sign, took down a few names, and ordered them to disband. When the policeman left, the children quickly made up an- other sign but took it no further than their front lawn. They claimed the parents in the area supported their action. One parent, whose son owned a dog, said, 'He can't take a joke. He had to phone the police'. Mr. Chase declined to say if he had picked up any dogs in the area. His comment was, "I'm only doing my job." A spokesman for Whitby Police said Mr. Chase "is one of the best dog catchers we have ever had."* But that isn't the way the children saw him.

Luigi Esposito, 489 Euclid Ave., To- ronto, was arrested by the OPP squad and will be charged with conspiracy shortly. Five of the six five dollar bills recovered are from the same series which has plagued Oshawa this summer. During the arrest of Esposito by the OPP Anti-Rackets Squad, police came into pos- session of a car containing an undisclosed sum of counterfeit money. Forthcoming A union that has fought since last September to maintain an organized shop and gain an initial union contract in a city automotive parts company has called it quits. A spokesman for Local 222, United Auto Workers union, said today the union has no in- tention of filing any objection over the results of a vote by employees of Oshawa Engi- neering and Welding Company Limited that favored decerti- fication. They voted 13 to 6 under the supervision of the Ontario Labor Relations Board. Results of the vote were re- leased by the OLRD last Wed- nesday, and the union had seven days, ending today, to lodge any objection. The union was certified March 14, 1966, as bargaining agent for plant workers, and called a_ strike last Sept. 7 over contract de- mands, The company has since been inactive on a production basis.
