Wire tapping, a most contro- versial subject, was discussed at length in the Legislature last week. According to Attorney General Arthur Wishart, wire tapping, (the act of listening to and recording telephone con- versations) is essential to law enforcement agencies. His state- ment in the House followed criticism of wire tapping prac- tices in the daily papers. The Attorney General stated that wire tapping. “becomes absolutely essential if we are to effectively deal with the or-' ganized criminal who could con- stitute such a threat to our society." He advocated that wire tapping be expressly pro- hibited by a national law, sub- ject to the provision that it be available to law enforcement agencies under authorization of the court. Minister of Financial and Commercial Affairs Leslie Rowntree forecast increased ex- penditures of $640,000 for his department.

Township Reeve Gordon Cook said the dog-trouble was confined ¢o an area west of Schomberg. "I figure that a dog got her too. She must have been lying there for at least a week. You couldn’t tell how she had died.“ Mr. Leonard said he had recognized the dogs and talk- ed to the owners. One of the owners destroyed his dog, the other didn’t. Mr. Leonard has had no difficulty since then. “Shortly after I noticed the cows had their ears chewed to pieces. The dogs usually take after the smaller ones so I‘ve moved them in closer to home."

Prospects of this happening in the immediate future are slight which puts the new super highway construction some years in the future also. This is the word from the De- partment of Highways officials. Queen’s Park planning of 404 north of Steeles Avenue is now in progress and the depart- ment itself would like to start construction “within a couple of years." But the job is dependent Highways Minister George Gomme told the Legislature last April 4 that his department was anxious to go forward with 404 as soon as possible. It’s not possible to schedule 404‘s construction north of Steeles until the agreement is reached. The province would contrib- ute fifty percent of the cost of extending the parkway. York County Council has been urging a speedup of work on 404 and at a recent special session Whitchurch Deputy- reeve Lawrence Hennessey re- quested that a definite starting date he announced. The resolution pointed out that the area is losing industrial expansion possibilities because of the uncertainty of dates of the big new thoroughfare. The route runs eést of Rich- mond Hill, Aurora and New- market but west of the Don Mills Road. Mr. Cook said that the owners of the dogs had been identified in some cases and that the township was con- sulting its solicitors as to damage action.

What Mr. Scherpenzeel ob- served were three German Shepherd dogs who scattered when they saw him. Mr. Scherpenzeel’s 14 year old son, Bart, said that the dogs bothered their sheep on three occasions. A total of seven sheep were killed and another eight injured. “The Liberal" is always pleased to publish items of interest regarding people and events in the Oak Ridges - Lake Wilcox and King City districts.
