Letter Dogs: well spoken and about time Dear Editor: In response to J. Smith's letter (in the Jan. 12th edition of this paper) regarding dogs and their owners: Well spoken and about time someone said these things. I have in my posses- sion a dog which I got from the Animal Control Officer in Terrace Bay on Jan. 8th. He was due to be destroyed that day and, while I can't pro- vide him with a perma- nent home, I felt sorry Young fisherman writer; at the time the Molson Fish Derby was underway, and we had just missed the Rossport Derby! Dear Sir: I thought this picture might be of some inter- est to your fishermen subscribers on the north shore (while they sit and watch the snow pile up.) This 20 Ib. "Rainbow trout" was caught at the Slate Islands July 13, 1982 by seven year old Jamie Woodruft of Prince George B.C. while on holidays visit- ing his grandparents - the Hieberts and the Woodrufts who reside in eS Terrace Bay. The fish was caught on a five of Diamonds fishing lure in about thirty feet of water. This fish could quite -- If your famil could use another expert driver, possibly be a trophy for its species in Ontario. Yours truly, J'R' Woodruft P.S.

To this end, I've spent al- most $50 and with no luck so far. This brings us to an- other tragedy. © Thou- sands of dogs in Canada are destroyed each year because they are allow- ed to run free, are picked up by an Animal Control Officer and never claimed. The dog mentioned above had a home once. He must have as he is house- broken. He's a small black and white male mixed breed and I'm certain the people who trained him live in Ter- race Bay. The thought of having him destroyed is most upsetting yet no one seems willing to provide him with a home. Still another tragedy is that a lot of unwanted puppies are born due to indiscriminate breeding. This is also the respon- sibility of pet owners as the animals are merely responding to their bio- logical imprinting which commands them to per- petuate the species. When people really love animals, they have them neutered and keep them restrained for the benefit of everyone, in- cluding the animals themselves. And to the people who once provid- ed the above mentioned animal with a home - I still have YOUR dog! Linda Pattison Schreiber All should be school taxed To the Editor: A few weeks ago I cut a clipping out of your paper with the heading - "School Board Moves To Annex Whitesand Lake and Selim." That is a very smart move and should have been done long ago. Why shouldn't these people whether Cana- dians or Americans not pay school taxes? These properties should be ab- sorbed into the board's school system. Why ob- ject? I wonder how many people ever stop to think about all the property owners who pay school taxes. There are many couples who never had any children but they pay school taxes. What about the senior citi- zens -- their families are raised and long gone on their way but the seniors still pay school taxes. There are the single property owners who pay school taxes. Whether one lives on Lakeshores or in off the highway or have cabins in the bush, whether a Canadian or American, all should be _ school taxed. Why should the rest of us pay taxes while these people are tax free? There is a school bus to pick up and return the children each school day. I -under- Branch 109 Schreiber SWEETHEART BONSPIEL.

Just what it will mean to the rest of us if the Selim and Sand Lake properties are an- ' nexed, is something that we should be made aware of. I was told that someone was in our vil- lage calling at the homes looking for opinions of this move -- if so no one called on me and I am rarely absent from my home: Thank you.
