We like the smart new sign on the Lake Shore Koad, "Lake Temiskaming, Elevation 587'", the work of the Town Foreman and his men. It took five phone calls to track down the elevation and it was Mr. Tyson who directed the foreman to the benchmark on the dock and then the calculation was simple. You will see new signs too on the Pump House anda shiny "ew aluminum paint job is being done on the roof. Moving south, you'll notice that the Rotarians have planted sturdy, young birches around the Park and two more benches have made their appearance, work of the Town- men The Town Shop itself has a new air with the surrounding area graded and a healthy row of spruce trees fronting the building. Further still, you'll find the spanking fleet of boats on the Lake have a new landing dock, the combined effort of John Renaud, George Weston, Real and Tom Forget, Roy Pearson, John Bell and N. Morissette. And it's all adding up to a lot to improve the town--this effort on the part of many to doa little here and there COMMENDABLE ACTION Three weeks ago the local po- lice were called upon to investi- gate a complaint regarding an alleged indecent exposure, said to have been made in the pre- sence of two young Haileybury girls, After two weeks' investigation the offender was apprehended and subsequently convicted of the offense. The police learned that the two girls had been subjected to this exhibition entirely against their wills and because of the cir- cumstances were unable to leave the scene of the offense untl the man was willing to allow them to leave. Fortunately the man had not molested the girls be- yond the indecent exposure they were forced to witness, The parents of these two girls acted wisely and commendably when they notified the police of this. occurrence immediately they Ackroyd and Son PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS New Liskeard : Ontario Phones 442 and 442-B C.

The girls were able to provide an excellent description of the offender, which information later led to the arrest of the man. However, much to the shame of our local citizens, these pa- rents now have reason to regret having mentioned the matter to the police. due to the fact that someone has seen fit to let his or her vicious tongue wag without check, until any number of ru- mours have been circulated lo- cally, in which the integrity of the two girls has been questioned. The circulation of just such nasty rumours as those above- mentioned is one of the reasons why parents of our young people hesitate to even ~mention like occurrences to their police depart- ments. In this case the rumours are without any basis in fact. These two girls, who, through no fault of their own have been in- volved in a very distasteful inci- dent are absolutelyabove reproach They have done nothing wrong and are compleely innocent in this matter. Actually, they have, at great expense to themselves, ren- dered an unselfish service to this community. The Haileybury police therefore, to commend these girls whose able assistance in the apprehension of the offender has been invaluable, and the par- ents, whose interest in the wel- fare of other children has trans- cended their natural inclinations to protect their children at any cost. 7 By way of warning we add that if it is possible to learn who has been responsible for the pro- pagation of these rumours, ap- propriate action will be forth- coming. wish, Constable R. Berry THE LETTER BOX ---To The Editor: In seeking space in your valu- able paper to express a few of my thoughts on the current Dog Daze, I feel that only the combin- ed efforts of Gilbert and Sulli- van, and Stephen Leacock could do justice to the situation. Un- fortunately, they have all depart- ed to more salubrious spheres, despite the fact that, Haileybury is supposed to bea summer resort. I must at the outset affirm "T really like dogs" even while I have had considerable provocation in the past to dislike them whole- heartedly. That I have heard rumours that our own dog was causing some children to be afraid of him, both distressed and alarmed my hus- band and myself. That we also took steps to correct the faults of an exuberant young dog, must admitted. That we did not wholly succeed in such a_ short time was not entirely our fault. When a stranger to me _ tele- phoned and offered to put a bullet in my dog, free gratis or get him off -his property, I quite naturally did not accept his offer. The be reason for such doggie wander- ings lay in the fact that he had control and training. The actions of a dog reflect its upbringing. his own dog tied up outside, while Control comes through training. uot far off chickens were running around. And everyone knows dogs will be dogs. I do, however, feel that the local constabulary should warn the man not to use firearms too freely within the town limits, evenif his weapon should be the registered variety. On Thursday, the 27th of May when I| picked up the. Summons for our dog running loose, I had no personal reaction except that, surely, if this By-law which has been in abeyance for so long and has been so badly administered in the past means anything, then we ought to have had fair warn- ing, and try as | would, I could not find any publication of the By-law. Later, the same even- ing, when I learned from . my small daughter that she had also been involved in helping a play- mate identify a dog to the police, I definitely was indignant, espe- cially so when I later learned that the usual processes of the law used in our own case, did not at that time overtake the owner. To practise discrimination of any kind lowers the moral fibre of a community as well as of the in- dividual ,thus providing rich and fertile soil for communism and the gestapo-like methods of Hit- lerism. As a community we have exper- ienced enough of the devious thinking and furtive-like prac- tices of some members of Council past and present. To the present Council I say, get out of the Daze you wallow in, be it Doggie or otherwise, and appreciate the dignity and obligation of being a member of Council. But--above all inform: yourselves. The following is a quotation from the poems of James Russell Lowell-- He's true to God who's true to man, wherever wrong is done. To the humblest and the weak- est 'neath the all-beholding sun. That wrong is done us; and they are slaves most base Whose love of right is for them- selves and not for all the race. Christine Lecky --To the Editor: , It would appear that dog own ers are about to ask that the by- law in respect to dog control be rescinded. May I offer-a. few thoughts on the matter. One of our inherent rights is to live free lives provided that our actions do not trespass upon the rights of our neighbors. Un- happily, human nature being what it is, it is necessary to protect these rights of person and prop- erty by certain laws enacted in the interests of the majority. Good citizenship. requires that we respect and obey the law: part of our taxes ,pay for this protection. ' Any person is allowed to own a dog or other animal permitted by law. But ownership obligates How many dogs are properly trained? Except in self-defense one cannot destroy or maim another person's dog without being liable for damages or incurring the odium of public opinion. Thus the dog and its owner are, in effect, protected by law. Council, within_ its authority, can restrain nuisances. >1nce dogs, owned by a minority, are becoming a nuisance to property owners, in the majority, control is required. It is not a que stion of a dog being tied up to restrict its liberty. It is one of control and making dog owners accept re- sponsibility. Lets be reasonable on that point. On second thoughts, perhaps the simplest solution would be to require that all property be fenc- ed intokeep the dogs out--inci- dentally that wouldkeep the dogs in!! S: J.

To train a dog requires know- ledge and patience and the only alternative to training it oneself is to send it to a professional trainer which costs more money than most people an afford, buta properly trained dog is something to love and cherish and the grandest pet anybody could pos- sibly have. The dog that roams wild and uncontrolled and tears through somebpdy's beloved garden -- usually with a pack of youngsters at its heels--isa public pest and something drastic should be done about it. A law, even though it is onlya local by-law will be observed and maintained by every decent and orderly citizen and until laws are respected there will be no peace for any one of us. British laws are wise laws and made with a purpose. i.e. for the good of us all, such as--one must not trespass or damage wilfully a better than neighbor's property--or disturb the peace, and, if parents them- selves would teach their children that courtesy and respect is much impudence--what a lovely world this would be to live in.
