Mr._ Ryan made a few suggestions how best to keep your favorite pet comfortable. particularly those left outside all day. He recommends if the shelter is in an un- sheltered area, burlap or an old sack should, be hung from the door to cut down on any drafts. Any further questions regarding a suitable shelter‘ Mr. Ryan said he would be pleased to an- swer. In extreme cold temâ€" peratures. such as those last week, Mr. Ryan said even long haired dogs should not be left outside unless there is access to proper shelter. Mr. Ryan said calls are received at his office describing dogs left tied outside, all day without adequate shelter and with short chains while their owners are at work. Owners need not be too particular about drinking water for a dog outside all day â€" as long as there is snow. “Just because a dog has a fur coat doesn‘t mean he‘s immune to the cold," said Mr. Ryan. Be kind to your dog in sub-zero weather is the message from Jim Ryan, canine control officer for the Richmond Hill- Thomhill area. “Just because dogs have a fur coat. doesn't mean they’re immune to the cold," points out Jim Ryan, Canine Control Officer for Rich- mond Hill.

Not only can owners be traced immediately, but people who see a tag on a dog are more inclined to help because they know it can be traced and will not be a stray they will be stuck with. said Another point for licences is if the animal is injured clinics are not inclined to perform major surgery if there is no identification on the dog. “Dogs can be saved unnecessary suffering over long periods of time if they have a tag on,“ he A tag means Mr. Ryan or one of his officers can contact the owner im- mediately and arrange for care. iLottery could solve ‘ school woesâ€"director “I come to you with this wild scheme â€" why? Because we have to make it go. Ed (Ed Joyce. Superintendent of Business Administration) tells me the budget is going to be tight and there are many things this board would like to get done.” Because of numerous questions, one which expressly queried the board‘s legal right to run such a lottery, the matter was deferred to next month‘s committee meeting. The board‘s solicitor will be asked about the validity of the scheme. Explained Zupancic: Mr. Zupancic admitted the Chancery of the Arch- diocese of Toronto frowns on such activities, especially if they are run on a county~wide basis. But he feels that if all the details can be worked out. his plan might be ac ceptable if kept within the jurisdiction of one or two schools. Realizing that funds for capital purchases and capital projects are harder to get for his Catholic schools; Director of Education John Zupancic suggested running a lottery to raise money during last week‘s management committee meeting. RICHMOND HEIGHTS CENTRE (beside Klesge'sI RICHMOND HILL 0 883-5512 THE FURNITURE MAN The director has suggested the board be the guarantor, making it responsible for the full sum of the winnings That would necessitate a bank loan which would be paid off in staggered payments. since the first draw in March would be expected to raise only $8,000. The other touchy area is the extent of the board‘s responsibility for the private high school at According to provincial laws, there must be a guarantor for a line of credit equal to the amount of the total winnings. There are two major problems with the proposal. aside from the fact that gambling in Catholic schools would require permission from the Chancery. The lottery proceeds would help to complete track and field facilities (possibly combined with ball diamonds and tennis courts) for both Sacred Heart School in Newmarket and St. Robert's in Thornhill. The first year of ticket sales is projected to gross about $52,000. One thousand tickets were planned to be sold at $104 each. making the holder eligible for 52 draws or one for each week of the year. THE LIBERAL. Wednesday. January 10. 1979 â€" A-3 St. Robert‘s. Technically" it administers elemen- tary schools only and the Ministry of Education does not recognize the high school for provincial grants. Costs at St. Robert's Grades 11, 12 and eventually 13 are covered by private fees. So the question remains: how can the York Separate Board run a lottery that will benefit a school coming under the jurisdiction of the Roman Catholic Episcopal Corporation. “We do have some involvement as a re- presentative of the Arch- diocese to see that the school operates in the blac'k A . . said com- mittee chairman Jack McDermott. “We have a connection with the school, not a com- mitment. though as Catholics we are com- mitted to see all our kids get the best possible education." Richmond Hill Trustee Con Thompson said he took exception to the fact 3 Separate elementary school board should establish a line of its own credit for a private school. Mr. Zupancic said he had done all he could as director and a private citizen to get the project under way. At one time. he said. there was an interested group of parents from St: Robert‘s who would have jumped at the chance to get in- volved with this idea. If they want to re-kindle their interest, that‘s fine, but the board could not urge them to do so, he said The director went so far as to make an application to Wintario (the deadline was Dec. 31. 1978) which could match the monies raised by the lottery, to one-third the cost of the projects. He said he also has spoken to the parks and recreation directors of Newmarket and Markham. who have shown interest in a shared-use of facilities scheme. “I have to ask, and I don't like to use the word, if we are legally entitled to do something like this." said Markham Wigglesworth He added: “We have a solicitor. Why not get a legal opinion on some of the questions worrying us? I‘m especially con- cerned with the term ‘guarantor' and to what extent we. as individuals‘ could be liable if this project were to fall through . . o I think the whole thing is a little bit nebulous"
