STRAY DOGS
Sir, —About this time last year a number of dogs in the Louvain Street-McAlister Street area came to their ends by somewhat mysterious means. As far as I know, the perpetrator of this benefit never revealed himself, so his services to the local community remained unrecognised. It is a peculiar trait of the British chartcter that those with a sense of public service most highly developed so often prefer to remain anonymous. This is to their credit but in this case it is unfortunate, as it necessitates recourse to your columns to point out to the gentleman concerned that a further splendid opportunity exists in the same locality for the continuation of the good work started last year. The disappearance of severay dogs would be appreciated by those citizens in the locality who take a pride in their gardens and homes. The local benefactor can be assured that if he cares to act again this year, there will be very few who will wish to disturb its anonymity. Yours, etc., “STRYCHNINE.”
