monitoring stations. The company has said if
operations are resumed without the precipitator, up to
40 tons of pollutants could enter the atmosphere daily.

The company has estimated it could take until

Herald Staff Writer
While RCMP in Terrace continue to
investigate the shooting of Hazel and
Gordon Hamilton’s two purebred
Samoyeds last week, Dr. Louis
Elorza, area veterenarian, says that
dogs with gunshot wounds are a
common sight in his office.
“We get lots of dogs in here with
gunshot wounds," Elorza said Friday.
“It’s been slightly worse lately, but
there are always dogs getting shot.”
Elorza said there are several areas
that are noticeably worse than other.
for dog shooting.

“We see quite a few dogs from
Thornhill, North Kalum Lake Drive
and Woodland Park,” he said. ‘We do
get some from the Graham Street-
Braun’s Island area, but usually those
are dead on arrival at the office.”

Elorza said that the shooting of dogs
in the Terrace-Kitimat area is a year-
round event, with no season worse
than any other.

“It happens all the time, un-
fortunately.” Elorza said he had seen
a dog last week that had been shot
with a high-calibre rifle. “The dog’s
leg had been blown apart, and it had
extensive bone and muscle damage.”

*A lot of the dogs that come in have
to put down,” Elorza said.

He also said that quite a few dogs
come in that have been poisoned, but
usually most types of poisoning are
unintentional.

“Itused to be that we would get a lat
of dogs that had been poisoned with
strychnine, but now that strychnine is
a restricted substance, that is quile a
bit less frequent,’ Elorza said.

“Wharfarin poisoning is unin-
tentional,” he said. ‘People leave rat

bait out, and right away their pets are
in it and get sick.”

Food poisoning is common as well,
he said.

“People bring their pets in and say
‘my dog’s been poisoned,’ and usually
I tell them that it has been their own
garbage that has done it.”

Spoiled food gives dogs food
poisoning just like it would humans,
and if the dogs get into the garbage
they stand a good chance of getting
sick, Elorza said. .

Elorza also pointed out a problem
which has sprung up in the last few
weeks, as it always does at this time
of year--distemper. -

“We've had to destroy several pets
over the last two or three weeks
because of distemper,’’ Elorza said.
“Fall and Spring are the times of year
that it usually breaks out, and this
year has been no different.

“Distemper is an aerosol-type
virus," he said. “It travels by air, and
so if there is an outbreak in Stewart
and the wind shifts, we get an out-
break around here as well.”

He said that distemper is a disease
that affects the entire body, the
central] nervous system, the brain and
the spine. Vomiting and diarrhea are
symptoms, as are convulsions and
pneumonia.

“If the eonvulsions don’t kill the
animal then the pneumonia will,”
Elorza said.

The death rate from the disease is
quite high, according to the vet.

Meanwhile, Sgt. Jack Broomfield of
the Terrace detachment of the RCMP
says that the investigation into the
killing of the Hamilton's two valuable
purebreds is continuing.

The dogs were found last week shot
in the head, according to Gordon
Hamilton.

UN will debate

Iranian crisis

UNITED NATIONS (AP)
—~ The UN Security Council
was called into session to
debate the U.S.-Iranian
crisis in response to 4a
request from Secretary-
General Kurt Waldheim con-
tending that it is the moat
serious threat to peace since
the 1962 Cuban missile crisis.

The United States, which
for almost two weeks
blocked an Iranian request
for the debate, agreed
because it believes the
debate beginning today will
result in a strong resolution

Grey Cup game
had its moments

By MIKE RUTSEY
MONTREAL (CP) —
Every big game has ite
moment; its one big play,
usually controversial, that
will be rehashed and argued
over time and time again.
The 1979 Grey Cup was no
exception.

At the centre of al con-
troversial play in the! 1978
Grey Cup is field judge
Maury Mulhern.

Mulhern was criticized by
same of the Alouette players
and most of the Montreal
fans when he called a clip-
ping penalty against Gerry
Dattilio during a punt return
with about two minutes left
in the game.

The signifigance of that
penalty became magnified
when Keith Baker ran down
the sideline, racing 85 yards
to score what he thought was
a touchdown and giving the
Alouettes a chance to Lie the
game with a successful two-
polnt convert.

The penalty wiped out the
