by Nina Xustcnhcrg # Every year, more than i:i fi'n'iUion dogs and tats are destroyril in the tlAiied Slates becai^e th6V are not wanted anywhere by anyone ‘The Humane Society ot the United States (HSUS) urges readers to support Assembly Bill 1917; sponsored by Assemblyman Dean Gallo This legislation addresses the pot overpopulation problem on a broad-based scale byplacing the cost of spaying and neutering squarely where it belongs oh the owners of.unspayed and unneutered animals and those selling these animals for profit. • A1917 INCORPORATES THE SUPPORT of most veterinarians whose existing facilities will be used, thus allowing substantial savings .in building costs and overhead. Also, use of the veterinarians own facilities will enable pet owners to find assistance for neutering animals locally, thereby reducing their travel time and costs and encouraging their participation in the program A1917 will give the most immediate financial relief to people/w-ho. on fixed incomes, can least afford current spaying and neutering costs. HSl|S urges readers to write to their Assembly members in support of A1917. Nina Auslenberg is regional director of the Humane Society of the United States, headquartered in Bed minister.

Yes; quaint and curious war is? * You shoot a fellow down You'd treat if met where any bar is. Or help to half a-crown. —from "The Man Hr Killed" by Thomas Hardy, KnglUh port and novrllat.

“Ih the last fifty years, we human beings have slaughtered by our own hands coming on for one hundred million of our species. We all live under constant threat of our total annihilation. We seem to seek death and destruction as much as life and happiness. We are as driven to kill and be killed as we are to let live and live. Only by the most outrageous violation of ourself es have we achieved our capacity to live I* relative adjustment to a civilization apparently driven to its own destruction. Perhaps to a -limited extent we can undo what has been done to us and what we have done to ourselves. Perhaps men and women were born to love oh% another, simply and genuinely, rather than to this travesty that we call love. “If we can stop destroying ourselves we may stop destroying others. We have to begin by admitting and even accepting our violence, rather than blindly destroying ourselves with it. and therewith we have to realize that we are as deeply afraid to live and W love as we are to die." —from "Hie Politic* of Kiperiencr" by R.D. Idling. Scottish Psychoanalyst These for timely thoughts were submitted by Leslie Chrismer of Cape May.

BEACH REFLECTION by Viney Endicott

This tiny shell within my hand Was left by tides upon the sand. So fragile yet by courage manned r ' ' To travel from some distant shore Carried on the ocean's roar As shells for centuries before Have ebbed and flowed with every tide That shell collectors far and wide Might be aware deep down inside That mirpcles like these are here To show how God has made it clear His majesty is always near.
