They were killed by dogs. Mr. Pollard says he heard a yip when he awoke early Monday, and went out to investigate. He found a num ber of his sheep lying bloodied in a field. A little later two German shepherds ran across the field toward the remaining sheep} so M r. Polfard went and got a gun. He shot and killed one^of thefdbg?. This is“the third time in the three years that M r. Pollard has been raising sheep that something like this has happened. This time, Mr. Pollard says, the dead sheep represent an investment of about $1,500. Mr. Pollard, a soft- spoken man, is not bitter about what happened to his sheep. He does hope that dog owners read this story and get a n idea as to what a dog can do if it is left to run free at night. He hopes that people who have dogs, w ill remember that there is a law against leavingdogaout at night, There is a law because it Is aknOwnfact that dogs will gang up and injure farm animals if they are al lowed to do so. M r. Pollard is shown here with a few of his remaining sheep. He has 40 left, some of which sustained minor injuries. ‘ ‘ T here is n ’t much money in raising sheep anyway,” Pollard says, \B u t it’s the dogs that really lick the operation.\ ' 'People just don’t take care of their dogs,\ he Lamented, gazing' at the dead German shepherd that 3ay in aheap with his oym dead animals Mpn- dily afternoon.

It is estimated that over 9,000 miles of .additional busing is required, each year , to shuttle students to and fromlSforth Argyle. Each student loses from 30-45 minutes of daily instructional time to reach his or her destination. If voter approval is given and a reasonable sales price can be ob tained, the board pro poses to use the revenues, together, with revenues from the sale of the W arre n s b u r g occupa tional center, to add space at Dix avenue, so that all occupational training can be provided ait one loca tion. The North Argyle build ing consists of 18,000 square feet o f floor apace. It ia located on route 40 in North Argyle on 23 acres of land.
