Oman St. -tmmst I!” was the cause of some heated debate at the Council meeting on Monday night. The apartment in question has been condemned by the Medical Heatth Officer, Dr. P. A, Voelker. " uni1t for human habitation and tenants have been given notice that they have one month to find an- other place of residence. Dr. Voelker said, "that the build- ing was not erected as an Hlg1i ment house in the Brst place. t there was no ventilation in the building, and toilet facilities were pitifully inadequate. Also the whole building was infested with bedbugs, and as the building was in such bad shape, it was radial - ly impossible to get rid o them." Mr. Hanley, one of the occupants of an apartment in the building, appeared at council meeting, and protested the eviction notice, point- ing out that if tigJeOple in the building were evi at this time. they could not ttnd another place to live. Most ot the nimmds in this m are saying their own private Mt era for warm weather ind no so that local and district stream will get back to mwhm as: normal. At the pregent time may Bshermen claim that it is harder to find the steam in their plant flooded condition, than it is to ttnd the trout. However, Dr. Voelker pointed out, that while there had been an eviction notice posted on the buil- ding, and the tenants were expect- ed to move in one month, they could not be forced to move until such time as they were able to get other quarters. If the town did force them to move, they could then come on the town to provide them with some kind of shelter, provided they were unable to ob- tain any by themselves. "This is the ttrst of several build- ings that will eventually he con- demned as unm for human habita- tion," Dr. Voelker stated. "There has, in Waterloo, been no real Health Department functioning for some time, but it is working very well now, and a lot of the places in Waterloo where people are holed up like so many animals are going to be closed to human" oeeupaner" The only thing that has deterred us from closing these places before is the fact that housing is practically impossible to obtain for the people to be evicted." Waterloo. now has a full-time sanitation inspector and we are determined to bring health standards here to a high level." Valium]! As an example of the good work being done by the present health department, the Medical Offjeer stated that a person could now go into any restaurant in Waterloo and newer have to worry about the cleanliness of the food that was served to him. This wag. not the case before the Health Department started to function he said. “as. For elm 'ee" . people in Wa- terloo will fail to agree with the Medical Health Officer. Dr. P. A. Vtselher, that there are many places in Waterloo that should be cleaned up or closed entirely to hu- man habitation. Some of these planes even "smell" bad when you pass them in the summer time and the doors are open. What are we goirggjp (lo about this conglition? It definitely does exist, and in a place the size of Waterloo there should be no such thing as a build- ing in such condition as can't be in- habitated safely and cleanly by hu- mans. We are to be a new city . . . someone had better get some new ideas regarding this situation. Alderman Huck m VIII! to spend some money improving the Lexington dump. How about the one at the back of the Park? Very few people are, affected by the Lexington dump, but a mat many suffer as a result of the town rt fusing to recognize the necessity of cleaning up this pest hole at the hack of the park. _ _ -- If you want to do something Mr. Hauck that the people of Waterloo will really thank you for. clean up the park dump. Everyone know: by now that it is only the refund of the council to face acts that has prevented this stinking mess from being cleaned up long ago. 13.8. I.

Since War. terloo was on a lower ground level. it had been necessary to build the Waterloo presume tower in Kitch- ener, ornate the K-W Hospital. To do is it was to use Kitchener mains and for Lt rea- son Waterloo supplied mm water to Ktchener. However, continued Mayor Hilliard, if Waterloo was to layherownmainatothetower, she could cut out this amply to Kitchener and Kitchener would be able to feed this district from the Glasgow street well. 7 wu that too much water was .0- ing down the drain " mt waste.

The clerk was instructed to as): the Department of Planning and Development to ascertain what further procedure must be taken up from a town planning commission ‘in New Hamburg. Some time ago Labbat's Limited of London sent a man to pump out wells which had been polluted by Mod waters. It was learned that such a pumping outttt could be pur- ‘chased for $100.00. It was decided ‘to make the purchase tor future ‘use, ghose wanting it to pay for the (service. The comfort station proposed by the Board of Trade and Service Club again came up for discussion. It was the opinion of the council that this will take much consider- ation before the project can be de- ended on. The clerk was instructed to have a new parking try-law pre- pared to present at the next regu- lar meeting.

Mother’s Day should be abolished because it has become commercial- ized but the same can be said about Thanksgiving, Christmas, St. Va- lemine's Day, em, and yet these age-old festivals continue to ttou- rish. Mother's Day strengthens children's attection by creating ha- bits of appreciation which often last a life-time.

To many the sentimental occasion pf Mother'spay. keeps _the_m tom What more glorious possession than the realization of a true Chris- tion mother or the memory of a true Christian mother for we would not forget those who have passed on to their reward. One can recall the words of such as Thomas Carilsle who said: "No great man ever had a fool for a mother". On Mother's Day one cannot help but pause in thought over those homes ham which e are!“ of our land ‘and our nation have sprung. in so doing we can remember many mo- them who traeritked themselves for their children in order that the lat- ter might be wisely nurtured and My trained to take their place in the world. For many generations John Wesley has received praise and admiration for his great Chris- tian work and rightly so, but it was hi mother, Susannah Wesley. who 'inspired and encouraged him in his great work. Martin Luther was re- sponsible for the Protestant Re, formation but on that day when the independence of the church was proclaimed he told how much he owed to his mother. Such also was the mother of David Livingston. who, by her own sincere Christian faith, so encouraged and inspired him that he consecrated his lite to his Master's service among the mar tives in the dark continent of At- rica. It is tare that Abraham Lin, coln was responsible for the eman- cipation of the claw trattie in the United States, but it was a great Mother's teaching and inspiration that buoyed him on.
