J. H.S. It has been intimated that curâ€" tesy among the drivers in Waterioo and Kitchener is becoming a thing of the past. The lad in a hurry, who must stop his car and immeâ€" diately open the door regardless on cars coming from ‘behind, and the other one that pulls out into a string of traffic with that "to Hâ€" with you Joe" attitude, are becomâ€" ing all to prevalent We often wonder if people always have to learn the hard way about these things, because learn they will the first time the oncoming car has poor brakes. He said the Coliseum and adjoinâ€" ing buildings of the Canadian Naâ€" tional Exhibition in Toronto probâ€" ably would provide the most suitâ€" able facilities for the proposed fair. It was believed that this proposal would be given consideration durâ€" ing negotiations to take place in the near future between the CNE and the Canadian Government Exâ€" Hibition Commission. OTTAWA.â€"Trade Minister Macâ€" Kinnon announced that plans are being prepared for an international trade fair to be held in Canada, probably in the summer of 1948. While the Government and Canâ€" adian exporters previously had participated in international trade fairs in other countries, this would} be the first occasion on which such | a fair would be held in Canada, he | said. +A It was explained by Mr. MacKinâ€" non that the "purpose of the fair would be to provide an easily acâ€" cessible meeting place for buyers end sellers from all parts of the world." It would not be an exhibiâ€" tion open to the general public. J.

It has been suggested that some of the members take over this job. Those that think they would like to take on some of this kind of work, should have jobs that they can sit down at most of the day. They should also be well upholstered. Pere (Crow Shooter) Barber of the Onward Manufacturâ€" ing in Kitchener. we understand, was one of the first yoluteers. However the committee members that are responsible for the eggs took one look and decided that Ferc certainly didn‘t have enough meat on his bones to help any with pheasant eggs. Might work on| crows. Mr. MacKinnon felt that plans: would be sufficiently advanced by | Oct. 15 to permit invitations to be cespatched to manufacturers and producers within the British Comâ€" monwealth and in foreign countries with which Canada enjoys comâ€" mereial relations. | Preparations are now being made to include detarls concerning rental conditions and other regulations with the invitations.

Resiâ€" dents on the corners of Charles and Alexandra Streets in Waterloo, have renamed it the "I hope" corâ€" ner. There is good and ample reaâ€" son for this renaming for there is hardly a minute of the day that the scream of breaks and tires does not startle the residents of this disâ€" trict. The "I hope" part simply means that when the fool drivers that take this intersection at their usual speed of 50 or 60 m.p.h.; finâ€" t ally make connections with each‘ «ther, the residents "hope" that the damage will be confined to the driâ€"| vers, and that none of the cars inli volved will end up in one of the | living rooms. There is just one f thing more for those drivers to think of . . . if they ever hurt a child on that corner they better get ; out fast.

A little fine won‘t be half as perâ€" manent as the death of some small child who couldn‘t get out of the way of a car travelling at 60 m.p.h. to something that is more in keer- ing with the street itself. Possibly « contest for the rena!hllll:: in which the public could indulge would arouse enough interest to cut dow the speeding and the accidents. It‘s nearly time that something was done about so many using Erb Street as a speedway.

In view of this task of locating the missing persons has become twice as difficult as it ordinarily would be. The addresses in one or two inâ€" stances given have been those of buildings torn down some years ago. The success of Europeans in conâ€" tacting the relatives of whom they are in search is vital to them since they have not been able to contact members of their families since beâ€" fore the war. Because of this factor Red Cross officials are asking Twin City resiâ€" dents to coâ€"operate all they can to trace the missing persons who are listed at present. The inquiries in the majority of the cases have been sent from Europeans who have been routed from their homes during the war and have lost recent addresses of relatives who migrated to this country. Most of the addresses given to the Red Cross by the persons making inquiries were those given by reâ€" latives when they first made their home in this country.. â€" Prince Edward Island, seven; Noâ€" va Scotia, three; New Brunswick, 12; Quebec,‘ 180 (Montreal 152, Three Rivers 17, Shawinigan Falls 10, Quebec City one); Ontario 72 (including Windsor 20, Toronto 16, Ottawa five, Sarnia four); Manitoâ€" ba 10; Saskatchewan five; Alberta 20.
