SOCCER 1980
During the latter part of 1979, raucous noises
were heard from the vicinity of the Cassiar School
gymnasium. Time - between 2 and 4 o’clock
Sunday afternoon; the reason - that game of intri-
cate passing, delicate touches, superb control, the
' best in teamwork and honest endeavor - the game
invented in England in the 1850’s and taken on
by the rest of the world - the name of the game
ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL
OR
: SOCCER |

_In 1979 the winter carnival soccer tournament
was a great success with nine teams entered. All
the signs are that 1980 is going to be even more
successful with three and four teams turning up
for practice; but there is still room for more so
come on out and join in the fun at the school
gym between 2 and 4 o’clock Sunday afternoon.

All this action will culminate in one tournament
in Whitehorse and the possibility of another one
in Penticton. Yes, soccer has arrived in Cassiar
and all you need is a pair of runners. For further
information contact Roy Clements at 778-7313.

: LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
The Editor, |
Cassiar Courier,
Cassiar, B.C. Z

Dear Sir:

It seems that once again we are to be faced with
the annual arguments between the people who
like to get out into:the country on their snow
_ machines and those who prefer cross-country ski-
ing. ;
On the weekend between Christmas and New
Year and on New Year’s Day itself, several skiers
worked to open up and sét a trail between 4. mile
and the Stewart road. The trail was finally com-
plete about mid-day on New Year’s Day, and
completely ruined by snowmobiles within 1%
hours — before the first skiers could get a run on
eats

There is a lot of room in this country for all kinds ©
- of recreation without intefering with one another.

Please snowmobilers, you can travel where skiers.

can’t; respect their trails.

I have heard nothing but complaining about the

- number of dogs that the present dog catcher is

catching. Remember that he is hired to do a job,
which is a thankless job and I would like to
point out the following section of the Domestic
Animal Protection Act: |

Running at large — where it is not under control
by being :

1) on the property of its owner or of an-
other person who has the care and con- -
trol of the dog; or

11) in direct and continuous charge ofa per-
son who is competent to control it; or

111) securely confined within an enclosure; or

1V) securely fastened so that it is unable to
roam.
5 (1) ‘Where a peace officer, or any other

person or class of persons authorized by
the commissioner for the purposes of
this section, finds a dog running in a
pack, he may kill the dog.

PACK — means two or more dogs that
are running at large.

At this time I am considering using the above

. section, and shooting any pack of dogs.
