/s# _ THE WATERLOO CHRONICTE "To cease butter rationing we would need an increase of %’mil- lion pounds of butter this year, or \givert some of our dairy products eing exported to the hungry naâ€" tions of Europe," Mr. Taylor stated, adding that the fArst alternative was impossible at the present and the second one was unacceptable. _ He spent more than three years covering Canada‘s forces overseas and returned only a few months ago. He had returned earlier for «a brief leave and had been urged to stay at home and let the "young fellows finish the job". However he insisted on going back for the finâ€" ish of the war. On his last holiday at home he said he was "very tired", but would only take a short holiday before he left to cover the Ford strike at Windsor. Last night as he left his typewriter in the Weekly office he commented that he was "tired out". Fred prided himself and was acâ€" knowledged by fellows in his craft, as a reporter, rather as an interpreâ€" ter or analyzer of events, and there is no doubt that the newspaper world has lost one of their best and most able reporters with his death. He was tireless in his quest for knowledge, and studied at nights to complete his education of Canaâ€" dian history and geography, and in 1916 applied for a job on the ediâ€" torial staff of the Daily Star. Withâ€" in 18 months he had proved his apâ€" titude for newswork and was sent io Oftawa as the Star‘s resident correspondent. In 1919 he was brought back to Toronto as a feaâ€" ture writer for the Star Weekly ond has been his major task since then, though he covered almost all major assignments for the daily. Prof. K. W. Taylor, foods coâ€"orâ€" dinator of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board said that indications are that butter rationing will conâ€" tinue indefinitely. The 56â€"yearâ€"old feature writer was one of the best known journalâ€" i<ts in Canada, and had covered most of the important news events in Canada during the last quarter century. His entire reportorial caâ€" reer since he entered newspaper work has been with the Star. Butter Rationing To Continue Fred was born in Ireland and when he first came to Canada, he went to work as a clerk in Eaton‘s basement. Although there is less butter beâ€" ing consumed now by Canadians now than there was beyore the war, as long as present conditions exist, butter rationing will have to reâ€" main in force, he said.

If we farmers are not welcome to have the shelter built close to the marâ€" ket building, that then simply means that we are not welecme in Waterlco. If we are welcome then this 1946 council must prove it by building the horse shelter at its present location and size as stated."
