Bennett has misread’ the -
climate. of. opinion, ‘in’ ‘the ©

yet.” —

“The premier doesn’t need
‘a mandate from the people
at this time,” Winter con-

_ tinved’‘He already has the
authority and the majority to

pass his programs through
the legislature.”’

“If the premier had waited
until they. were passed, he
would have gained the
respect of many voters. As
things now stand, he has

diluted his programs into

campaign promises. This is a

- weak strategy.”

Winter; who worked for
Bill Bennett in the 1973

Shelter Superintendent,
Richard Green, Tuesday
morning,- for outstandi

over the last six months.

Secretary-Manager of the
Shelter, Jack Homes, said
this year the shelter has had
the highest claim rate of
animals turned in.

“The number of animals
destroyed at the shelter has

declined every year for the —

last three years,” he said,

and also, “the number of.

complaints of animals
running loose has decreased
every year for the last three
years.”
