4 Tht Canadian State=Mn, owinanvffle, Jtme 14,.1987 EDUTORIAL COMMENT He Who Maligns My Dog! ~Tàlier no doubt about it, most Of us art peculiar in many ways, espe- cially about such things as our own children, our dogs, cats, canaries, and go on. Last week wat a prime exampie; we published an editarjai suggesting that man~r people weren't living up to the town à by-law on do g contrai and hecausé they weren't t he neighbors lwere runnîng irita problemns while cut- ting the lawn and stepping in the Wrongplaces. Thte response was wonderful. Calsa came by phone and an the street people etpped to talk about their problems. borne were dog awners who weren't too sympathetic with the point of view xpressed. Others thought we didn't go ar enough in condemning the beasts that wreck their gardens. One lady Iblamed the influx of rabbits on tht fact that there were so few dogs lbase a,'ound town, the lang-eared anes were ý-jc!ming in and feeling comparativeiy M 'e. Another was certain the neighbors were burning garbage just ta spite them for havîng a dog. "Why don't you go after cats?" carne from another source. '«They do more darnage than dogs." Even the Dog Contrai Officer paid us a visit and brought us up-to-date on recent amendmnents ta the Dog Contrai By-law. Apparently, now any neigh- bar who is being pestered by a neigh- bor's dog can ]av a complaint and have that neighbar brought into court. Also, we understand that dogs must now be on a leash when they are taken for a waik. Otherwise, they could be con- sidered not under contrai. 1 Somnehow, we doubt if either tht dog lovers or the garden loyers ame goi.ng ta win this argument. There wil always be friction between them be-1 cause Pach has a different point ofi view and, in mast cases. thev are ir-1 reconcilable. To the dog owner, the pet is aImait a member of the family to be pampered and only discipiined when deemed necessary. Should anything happen ta the dag, great wailîng takes place. A dog is, after ail, man's best friend with many rescues ta its credit, a protector of praperty . . . tha t's the owner's praperty, not the neighbor's. How could anybody find fault with an animal that snuggles its nase against yaur sleeve, begging for attention and lave? The garden lover's thoughts art much the same but pointed in quite a different direction. Those littie buds, nourished fram early spring. have f in- ally burst inta bloom, presenting a gar- geaus mass of color almost beyond des- cription. Then, that big-faoted pooch from next doar knocks them ail over the lawn.. "I cauld wring his neck" And there yau have it, the neyer ending battît for which there is no easy compromise, no United Nations Cease Fire, only trouble that builds and builds until now and then it blows hîgh and wide in one of those stormy sessions that split neighborhoods wide open. .Maybe bath sides in this struggle will have a better understanding than most of us af the frustrations that brought on the war between the Arabs and the Israeli. After aIl, there is a sim- ilarity of sorts. Hlowever, until same- one cornes up with a solution to the problem, we may well expect the irri- tations to continue on both sides until tither the dog passes on and isn't re- placed or the neighbor decides to grow flowers inside the house and lets the garden grow into a massive wPed patch . . . and there are quite a few of them around tan that are alrnost as big a nuisance to the neighbors as the dogs are to other folk. Always prob- lems. That's life! The United Nations Proves Its Worth During the past fcw days and rflghts, the viewing public bas been sitting at the ringside of one of the ,world's major encouniters. Whiie tht Israeli forces have been f'ghting against tht Uniited Arab Republic, the great and small powers at tht United Nations have been fighting a diplomatie battît in the Security Council in an attempt ta bring the war ta a haIt. Af ter many hours of sitting. talking and consulta- tion they have achievcd their goal... ,or rather the first step, a cease fire. T'his, in itseif, is a tremendous accomp- lishment that would not have been pos- eible had it nat been for thîs much mis- understood arganization. The United Nations is an imperfect grnuping of nations as inefficient as vny political organization. Many people have been disgusted while watching and hearing the debates in tht Security Council. Ceascless talking, bickering an tht highest level, the phonyncss of it aji as thev calied each other "distin- gÉuished" representatives from such and such, while it was abviaus they deep dawn wauld like ta eaul their adver- *aries many other names nat se com- piimentary. This procedure ta keep the .debates on as high a level of dignity as possible is hard for the average per- san with no experience in poli tics ta undcrstand. But, it has ta be that way; otherwise the arguments wouid end in fret-for-ails and tht 'distinguishcd' rep- resentatives would be carted away in paddy wagons, and charged with assault and battcry. In the end, we have ta admit that lhe Security Council was tht only force capable of bringing the war ta a haît. Without it, the fighting would have continued until one side capituiatcd campletely, or it might have gone on for many months until ail the parties concerned wvtrt draîned of manpower and resources. Tht United Nations brought the war ta a hait for a major victory for this international organization. We can oniy hope their efforts wiii naw bring about a lasting peace ta heal or at least cantain for many years, the festering sorts that have upset this area for many years. Possibly, having tasted the fruits of success in this field, they might naw take a run at Viet Nam ta set if some- thing can be donc out there ta bring that prolonged struggle ta an honorable conclusion. In a recent poli a majori ty 0: Canadians said that the persisten, threat ta world peace is their greatesi single concern. This la understàndable Our inaterial and social progress woulh be meaningless in a world at war. Ih this Report, therefore, I thought1 would talk about tht international sit. uation and Canada's efforts ta ease the tensions that keeps us on the brink af global nuclear disaster. No country on, earth is more dedi- cated ta tht cause of peace than Can- ada. Since tht end of World War Twc we have been amang the most active and effective supporters of the United Nations. Prime Minîster Pearson has been ont of its greatest champions. His actions an several accasians have been instrumental in the United Nations taking actions that have restored order in many trouble spots, any one of which. might have expanded into widespread and devastatirig miiitary action. Canada's foreign poiicy embraces rnany dîfferent activities. These include our deaiings wîth Great Britain and the Commonwealth; our participation in the defence of the fret world thraugh our. .nvolvement in such groups as NATO; our special relationship with the United States; aur activities an variaus inter- national bodies, such as tht contrai commission in Viet Nam, and many mlore. But in the very broad f ield of Iiplomacy nothing la more important han Canada's belief in, and support for, tht United Nations and, in particu- lar, for its peace keeping. It is obvious that tht United Nations ffera the only forum whert tht views Df disputing parties can be discussed nd resolved by the members of tht Porld community. Mr. Pearson bas fre- uently reaffirmed Canada's belief in re U.N. He has also often repeated c 0 t] f( qi t] Don't Try to Live Up to Your Clippings An article just came in ta tht office il-lset us thinking about a few things ail of us shouid remember ciearly if wc have reached shall we say 50 years ei age or maybe even a bit yaungcr. It was about tht father who had been quite an athiete in his day and bis son who was cager ta have "Dad" throw a few bails ta him . .. mainiy ta show his pals a great hurler in action. After ail, Dad had ail those clippings fromf a few years back that provcd beyond a doubt that he was ane of the greatest pitchers Podunk Centre had ever had in its midst. Tht story' isn't important but it re- called a couple of incidents. We remem- bered vividly flot so many years agQ, a softball game between tht Press Gai- lerv at Ottawa and tht Members of .Parliament. Big Train Lionel Conacher, ont of tht greatest athietes Canada has eveî' seen, was at bat. Htexvas ont of tht MPs from a Toronto riding and he clouted what should have been a double, but apparentlv couldn't forget those carlier ycars. Competitor that he was, he tried ta stretch it ta third, ignor- Ing pitas and signa for him ta boid up nt second. Ht made it but the effort was too much for his great heart and be died right there. We have neyer taken part in an aid timers game of anything but tiddiy-winks since and don't intend ta. Another time we recali a hockey garne between Rotarians and Lions members, shortly after tht new arena was built here. We playtd aur tradi- tional spot in goal that in years past had produced quite a few glowing sports reports in tht local paper. Our sons sat with their mother waitirig ta cheer those fantastic saves they knew would be caming shortly. Tht most exercise we had that night was picking tht puck out of tht net; aur timing was about 25 vears off. The sons sank iower and lower into their seats and vie haven't mentioned playing hockey since and neither have they. We ail came ta it sooner or later, we suppose, vihen vie have ta face tht fact that those sprightly days of long ago when vie played bail and hockey most of tht day and then wondered vihat ta do at night, are long gant. Better thev should be forgotten, or at least, no attempt shouid be made ta repeat such performances. It doesn't work. Just let thern read tht clippings again and leave it at that. It's safer in s0 many ways.

By this time, three provincial cruisers and tht local paddy-wagon werc parked in front of aur bouse and tht bouse next door. Caps swarmed about tht place next door, with 4jawn guns. Tht kîda enjoyed it tharoughly, chattering at tht police. Our ntighbor's phone rang madly, as people demanded ta know wbetber, tht Smileys were really in an it.
