Show The DESERET SAMPLER, Fri., May 6, 1971 Editorial Whats the answer? What are the options? What can lie done, and what good will it do? These are questions to which there must be an answer, but what is it? SEVERAL WEEKS AGO an appeal was made to the p and their yards for spring, residents of Dugway to clean-u- p to get rid of trash or materials that were never used, and to improve the lawns. The command cooperated by having special trash pick-u- p days and the housing division provided personnel to load dirt and made arrangements for military vehicles to lie used by residents to haul dirt. Though the weather was uncooperative, the two Saturdays designated for hauling top soil, many Dugway residents stiil took advantage of the opportunity and many loads of dirt were loaded. Though there is still room for improvement and the cooperation of some occupants of family housing is still needed, the command is encouraged with the results. A majority of residents have been busy the past few weeks, weather permitting, improving their yards. They have been raking lawns, planting flowers, getting rid of trash, trimming trees and bushes and seeding new grass, and the result is commendable. A major problem now exists. It is the lack HOWEVER of cooperation or responsibility on the part of "smart-ale- c teenagers and to some degree younger children. The younger children can to a great extent lie excused for riding bicycles across lawns or dropping papers in yards as they can be forgetful -but what excuse is there for the teenager who delilierately walks across newly seeded lawns, throws used soft drink cans or other trash from automobiles, or as one resident has stated I have a path worn across my lawn where students take a short cut to high fix-u- school. Now what recourse does the resident who has tried to improve his yard have against this infringement of his right to have a nice looking lawn and yard? Would talking to these teenagers do any good? Would askthem to respect the property of others have any lasting efing fect on their behavior? Would telling them that their parents, in all probability, would not want the same thing happening to their yards mean anything? Would building a fence help, but how can the entire yard le fenced in? Would calling for military assistance be of any value? There must be an answer, but again, what is it? Family pets creating problems for residents The old adage that dog is liest friend has once lieen tossed the air in again up comments. . . especially by citizens of Dugway. During the past six months, the Provost Marshal's Office has reported that eight people have been bitten by uncontrolled dogs the streets and play- ground areas of the Proving Ground. THE PROBLEM of uncontrolled dogs is liecoming a menacing issue and we need everyones help in eliminating the situation, says Cpt. Roliert Tait, Chief of the Provost Marshal Branch. People fail to realize that a normally gentle and behaved dog easily liecomes vicious when he joins a pack of animals roaming throughout the housing areas. When this happens, bowser suddenly liecomes everyones enemy as he jumps, yips and snaps at innocent children and adults. The majority of Dugway's pet owners are fairly conscientious alxiut controlling their animals, with only a few people causing the problems. Owners are reminded that repetitive warnings alxiut wandering pets may result in removal from the installation. One such owner has already lieen asked to remove his dog from the post because of recurring failures to control it. The menace of rabies is per- hups the most dangerous threat that the wandering animals ex- lubit AH pet owners are remind- ed that it is their responsibility to keep the necessary vaccina-man- s tions and shots for their animals Everyone should co-foperate to prevent the night-th- e mare of innocent individuals receiving twelve painful rabies shots in the abdomen from ever materializing," adds Cpt. Tait. There is a definite lack of tern on the part of many pet owners as to the possible results of leaving their pets unattended out of doors. RESIDENTS are reminded of the rules governing the pets on the installation. They include: All dogs are required to have licenses and tags and must lie registered with the Veterinarian Inspection Point by all incoming pet owners. Licenses are not transferable from one dog to another or from one owner to another, and the license tag must lie attached to Contract Signing the dog and the certificates retained by the owner.
