=â€"â€" _ THE WATERLOO CHRONICLE Last Wednesday afternoon when the garbage was being loaded on one of the trucks, it reared up on its rear wheels and remained that way for over two hours, despite all efforts of the crew to make it act normally. ooiee keeps up the boys on the trucks will have to be supplied with ridâ€" ing boots and a set of spurs. JHS. We are almost tired of hearing about it ourseives; but when are the residents of Kitchener and Waâ€" terloo going to stop griping mbout the rotten roads in their communiâ€" ies and do something about them. It‘s a sure and certain fact that the l:":JC or the clounclls will do noth until there is enough presâ€" sure bought to bear. There are orâ€" Some of our local nimrods seem inclined to doubt Chap‘s ability to run as fast as the deer, probably forgetting that all insurance men are used to making running starts. between a garbage truck and a bronco, but one of the Waterloo garbage trucks seemed to think there was a relationship. _ Finally help came from Dietâ€" rich‘s garage and the P.U.C. and the truck was once more placed back on its four wheels and the load distributed so it would stay finally got a deer this year, and a nice one too. Chap explains the fact that the deer was such a nice cne by telling us ‘that the deer was out in the open, and that he finally ran the critter down and made sure that he was good and fat beâ€" fore he shot him." It has been intimated that there are more than a few residents of Waterloo and Kitchener who would consider it a privilege to drop a rope around these smart alec driâ€" vers and give them a run behind their own street cars, or who would willingly trade places with the moâ€" tormen and let them try and catch i street car. On week days the schedule that these soâ€"called street cars adhere to is mostly one of hope and waitâ€" ing. On Sunday‘s it is all waiting, as they seem to wander aimlessly between Waterioo and Kitchener, and then back again. Just try to obtain a ride on one, especially if you are not right at the corner when it gets there, and you will suddenly discover that the motorâ€" man is on a rigid schedule that must ‘be followed to the last seeâ€" ond. One example came to our attenâ€" tion from an incident last Sunday, when a young mother with three small children ran with all their might to catch a street car so that they might go to church. The moâ€" torman had stopped to allow other passengers to get on, and then watching the striving mother and youngsters for a haif minute or more, he, indifferently closed the door and pulled away. _ â€" Taking into consideration that there are at least three well deâ€" fined and obvious hazards to the school children on the east side of the road, and there are no obvious means of them getting hurt on the west side, why go to all the trouâ€" Lle and extra expense of building the sidewalk on the side of the road where all the hazards are? Someone needs to sit down and co a little thinking.

It was admitted by the P.U.C. manageâ€" ment that it might be possible, however, that arrival would be deâ€" layed until next Monday or Tuesâ€" day. The first piece of equipment is being thoroughly checked before being put on the flat car for Kitchâ€" ener and it will take about three days for it to reach the city from Fort William. First Trolley Bus To Arrive in City In a Few Days About thirty men are employed on the project at present. Many are from out of town, some coming from Galt and Guelph areas. About twenty more men are needed imâ€" mediately, Mr. McCurdy said. A number of the rubber strikers had been on construction work until that dispute was settled. While the contract calls for the 50 houses to be comrleted in seven months, it is unlikely that the job will be finished by that time. Superintendent S. C. McCurdy of the W. H. Yates Construction Co. Ltd., reported that framework of two units, representing eight houses in the Housing Enterprises project on Dearborn St., Waterloo, are well under way. Work on the scheme is progressâ€" ing slowly due to the acute shortâ€" age of laborers and carpenters. uoo e o n P en td The foundations for three units have been poured while seven units have been excavated. Five units remain to be excavated. Progress On Waterloo Homes Is Very Slow "As every family has reason to know, many things have been difâ€" ficult to obtain and many popular bands ‘of merchandise have been missing from dealers‘ shelves for a long time," the Association said. "This nationâ€"wide survey should ‘provide accurate information on condition and will be of great assistance to manufacturers and distributors in correcting these shortages in the months to come. _ Newspaper carriers will distriâ€" )bnte questionnaires to representaâ€" tive homes in Kitchener and Watâ€" erloo, and in each other Canadian city that has a daily newspaper. The carriers, acting on behal})e of the paper, will collect the comâ€" pleted forms and return them to the ne\::ls}‘)aper. The association says it es about 30 minutes to answer the questions, which are mostly of the "yes" or "no" type. made available to the Government and to manufacturers and distriâ€" butors.

Miss®Halliwell stated further that if sufficient evidence is procured in a case where an animal is inâ€" jured by B.B. shot, children using the guns will be brought to Juveâ€" nile Court. An appeal to parents to cease providing children with such guns is made by the Humane Society official. Due to the shortage of ammuniâ€" tion a lull was experienced during the war when no B.B. shots could be obtained. _ When a complaint was received last month that several cats had ‘been injured by B.B. gun shots, the Humane Society issued a warning against the shooting of animals. The complaint marked the first in a number of years. It is illegal for air rifles to be used by juveniles, it was again emphaâ€" sized by Miss Halliwell, who stated that the prewar practice of seizing such guns by the humane insgector will have to be resumed if the inâ€" juring of animals is continued.
