COUNCIL NOTES

Dog problems were the major
topic of discussion at the April
81 meeting of the Palmer City
Council. Attending the meeting
as visitor was Mrs. Ola Den
nison who reported her child had
been bitten by a dog, while play
ing on the Central School
grounds. Although she reported
the incident to the city police
department, no action against the
dog, who appeared to be unlicen-
sed, was taken, she stated. Coun-
Gil members pointed out that
they have been making an effort
to get a caretaker and a dog
pound, and referred to present
ordinances whereby dogs must be
controlled.
Following a lengthy discussion
the motion was made that if
suitable ordinance, already pas
sed, can not be found, the City
Attorney be instructed to draw
up an ordinance, or an amend
ment to an existing ordinance, for
the control of dogs within the
city limits.
To cope with the present situa-
ton, it was agreed to accept an
offer of Virgil Meehan's to care
for dogs picked up as strays for
a period of five days, during
which an attempt will be made to
ASCERTAIN ownership, If not claim
ed within the flve-day period,
the dogs are to be destroyed. The
five-day holding period is in ac-
cerdance with Territorial law. It
was pointed out that dogs, even
though licensed, may not become
a nuisance and that persons own
ing dogs, even though licensed,
are required to keep them under
control. Violation of the city or
dinances is misdemeanor and a
fine of not more than $500 may
be imposed for a first offenSe,
the fine and/or 80 days sentences,
may be imposed for second Of
tense.
A letter of thanks from Co. c,
180th Engineer Battalion Of Pal
mer, for the use of the Fire hall
basement for training sessions
was received. The Reserve unit
had used the basement following
the fire in the Legion building II
November. They now have NOV
ed to their new center ii the
Theatre building.

sprayer, at two cents on the dol
lar, was authorized.
A report from the health COM
mittee, which is part of the City

spections of eating places IN the
City brought several violations
to light. The Council went on rec
ord, and a letter will be sent to

visions of the City Health 0rdin-
ance. Food and liquor dispensary

A FISH STORY
Mrs. Canning Learns
Art Through Letters

her chow foolish it was not to
paint the things I know best"
So she began doing animal
studies. Her art idol. she re-
veals, is Morris Graves. who
paints mystical animals"
such as Wounded Gulls."
Since her introduction to the
Gyotaku. fish I'LL much of her
life.
Thirty Pounds Worth
This summer she went on a
fish expedition to the Bahamas
and collected as many speci-
mems as she could. ION the trip
back. l had 30 pounds Of ex-
cess baggage" she says-"all
fish,"
She was Is pounds lighter
on the return trip however.
She explains. Il can't eat fish
when I'm working with them,
and in the Bahamas that's the
main dish.
When at home. Mrs. Canning
usually works on Gyotakus in
the morning. II can't do sci
entlfic drawing in the morn
ing. it requires too much CO.
ordination. so / save it for the
afternoon" she says. The fish,
printing takes her back and
forth from her studio to her
kitchen, where she does the
mounting on my wonderful
Formica tops"
How does the household
react? Well the dogs keep to
the background, but the cats
five of them seem to enjoy it
all but the formaldehyde.
II had a terrible time when /
used fresh fish," the artist re-
calls. THE cats loved to go
and sit on the prints"
A Certain Nostalgia
Her husband. John, is in
complete sympathy with her
work. I'VE met in an icthy-
ology class and he has a
certain nostalgia for fish" Mr..
Canning is an economist.
Mrs. Canning, a naturally
vivaciouS talker, becomes quite
enthusiastic when telling of
the growing popularity of the
Gyotaku in this country. A
number of the Japanese prints
were first shown publicly in
America earlier this year. at
her instigation. Now more and
more people write to her for
information about them.
She is an honorary member
of the Gyotaku No Kai
Friends of the Fish Print, a
Japanese group headed by her
friend Mr.. Hiyama. and is the
only Westerner who has the
benefit of this society. She still
gets her paper and water
paints from Japan-a country
which she fervently hopes to
visit some day.
