Unless the public-spirited citizens give generously to the Young Men’s Christmas Community Commit- tees which each year distribute thousands of gifts and sweets and hundreds of hampers and in many cases footwear and rubbers.

WATERWS SNOW CLEANING NEEDS Many citizens and visitors in Waterloo, who particularly at this season of the year are busily engaged doing their Christmas shopping, are asking why sidewalks are not kept clear of snow in the business section. In Kitchener and some other places municipalities in- sist that sidewalks in front of business places be cleared of snow to the cement walk. There have been days when the side- walk is covered with ice, mak- ing it dangerous to pedestrians. The snowfall thus far has been light but the chairman of the Board of Works should give employment to men and keep the sidewalks on King and other streets clean after every snowfall. The icy roads, par- ticularly at the intersections, should be sanded to avoid motor ar-id-Ga-a, and possible in- jury to pedestrians.

He was chosen Deputy Minister of Labor by Sir Wilfrid Laurier in 1900, was Hirst elected to parliament in North Waterloo in 1908, and today has a wealth of experienpe. gig friends in Ul- CAwn-v-avv- -_e-'" his home city, Kitchener, and Wterloo counuty, among whom he is held in high regard, ex- tend congratulations to Premier King on the cocasion of his birthday.
