And especially if his pet dog was in the midst of the fray? "Even if it never comes to n fight they have become a serious hazard for the motorist, rushing out onto the road in a mob that has caused many a driver to stop his car. Something must be done, before an accident has taken place, Until a better solution is offered 'we suggest that owners of female dogs in par- ticular keep them tied ®r penned at home. Now before it is too late." Boy Scouts Ask Assistance The Scout Hall at the present time serves one Scout pack, three Cub packs, one Guide group and .one Brownie pack.
