? Largest and Rewsloot t ks 1 amount of replacement necessary; in empioy$ Ple: and there is always a certain turnover in men. In the last few months there have been three or four new men added mmmmmuum it up to the that was original force left. Why? Is it because the men are not paid enough to live properly, or is it a case of them becoming tired of the cut and dried routine of a police men any longer than they are s$ay men any longe ing on in Waterloo, and that someâ€" thing should be found and rectified. Most citizens felt that when the Committee to a Police Commission, The Commission is composed of some of our leading citizens. How about them applying their intelliâ€" gence to this problem? JH.S. Removal of the price ceiling on force would be at an end, but they cars was probably the biggest and most stupid blunder that“&e Canâ€" adian Government ever made. We have been told that conditions here in the Twin City are not nearly as bad as in places like Toronto, but if car dealers and people selling cars are any worse in Toronto than they are in Kitchener and Waterâ€" loo, we don‘t know how they manâ€" age it. _ â€" 20 _ _ One nbrightâ€"eied boy told us the other day that he has been able, in the last few months, to buy and sell no less than four new cars, at a measly profit of $500 each. Eviâ€" dently he knows most of the car dealers fairly well and despite the fact that he could never be classiâ€" fied as an "essential" driver, they sold him cars. In fact, it would seem in Waterloo or Kitchener, one sure way NOT to get a car, is to be classified as an essential user. _ Another chap that we know real well, told us yesterday, with a great deal of handâ€"rubbing, that he had sold his 1937 Plymouth only the day before for $900 cash. He paid around $400 for it a couple of years ago and before he sold the car he removed the radio and heater, on which he expects to realize a furâ€" ther profit. _ h y Actually of course it is not the seller of the car that is altogether at fault. It‘s those stupid individâ€" uals who for the first and probably the last time in their lives, have money in the bank, and are either unable to buy what they want, or have so much faith in the future that they believe there will always be some there. If people would not offer such high prices, owners of cars and car dealers would not even dream of asking the prices for cars that they are today, and it‘s a cinch that those who are dealing in them are not going to voluntarily reduce their prices until such time as the dumb clucks with the money, stop their spending spree. Talking to local farmers we are given a mixed impression of gloom and optimism. A few of the lucky ones whose farm land is on high ground, have now finished their seeding and gre looking forward to at least a fiormal crop. Some of them even predict a bumper crop because of the amount of moisture in 4ne ground, and claim that if they can only get some warm weaâ€" ther within the next week or so, that almost all of their cm]i)s should do better than they would if the spring had been dry. However most of the farmers are definitely pessimistic, and we were told by some that they had not even been able to do their spring plowing, let alone any plantâ€" If this condition exists to any great extent, and we are led to beâ€" lieve that it does, then the farmers are going to suffer this year, but they will not suffer alone, for the city dwellers depend on the farmer {or their food stuff, and if the crops are short on the farms, the city dweller will also feel the pinch in less fresh food and higher prices. Recent rainfall has only added to the farmers‘ plight, and while seriâ€" ous conditions do not include the whole country, they do include enough to make the present outâ€" look fairly inm We have heard of prayers being We have heard of prayers being offered for rain to save the crops, but this is one time that a lack of rain would be welcomed. J.HS. Just as big a nuisance as the moâ€" torcycles without a muffler, are those dog owners who chain their pets outside and let them bark all night long. There is absolutely no excuse for this disturbance, and those people who have this kind of a nuisance should be summoned into police court and instructed eiâ€" ther to train the dog not to bark at all hours, or to get rid of the dog. There never was and never will be a dog that cannot be trained to do as he is told, and the chronic barkâ€" er is probably one of the easiest to train, provided, of course, that the indlvklunl owning the dog has more intelligence than the dog has. We are told that this is a necessary Even worse than the person who lets their dog bark at night, are those who arise bright and early those who arise bright and ear Sunday morning, take their wflx C outside and put him on his chain, and then go blithely back to bed, while the dog busies himself at keeping the whole neighborhood mmuumtemmnh to which every one is en on Sunday morning. 1 there isn‘t a law against this kind of disturbâ€" ance . . . then it‘s time there was uirement in the training of any when a force cannot keep to have a 1HsS. three of the * commmentnnndemmetemmernn: So have 1 Members of the Kâ€"W Kinsmen fiu ** ekum,rbfi- , that he is to wonâ€" og| at the Waterioo has resulted what the attraction is, that is, ,‘;."g:h-ln-ddh-bthehbd»mmmmunum ,:,-, It was illv"fi' noum-v- fox cubs "::Mquml *-flw:duuuhmum it of Wa;| Mathers | and Heinbuch. |and forthwith resoived to excavate perpetual |tmat about 1,000 had attended SiX|the den. . __,___|performances in three days, MADY| Revairing to the tool shed for a at the Waterioo Arena has resulted in a fingneial loss to the club of apâ€" _ It was divulged in of the ns â€"xâ€" and Heinbuch, that about 7,000 had attended six mhfiudmnu o(tbun-:ho:‘l.’clhfidlnn. reâ€" cei were e =:nb-t themselves were at a T hegt 3 in sheue was mpormd ronage as cireus was to have been the best to show here Finds No Racial Toronto Diningâ€"Room Bayard Rustin, visiting field work secretary of the United States Felâ€" lowship of Reconciliation, tried to discover in his lunch hour last Satâ€" urday if any racial discrimination existed in Toronto. Mr. Rustin, accompanied by sevâ€" eral members from the Race Relaâ€" tions Institute which has been holding a conference in Toronto over the weekâ€"end, had his lunch in the main diningâ€"room of one of Toronto‘s prominent hotels The members were divided into three groups and were placed strategicâ€" ally about the diningâ€"room. One of the women in the group, who had been well briefed beforeâ€" hand, asked a waiter on leaving the diningâ€"room: "Is it your custom in this hotel to serve Negroes?" The waiter, looking in the direction of Mr. Rustin, replied: "Oh, but he is a Hindu." Commenting on the experiment following lunch, Mr. Rustin said: "I was delighted with both the food and the service." ‘TORONTO.â€"It was reported on Monday that there will be an imâ€" portant announcement from the Ontario Department of Welfare this See Possible Boost In Old Age Pension "I‘ll have something big for you later in the week," an official of the department told newspaperâ€" men.

Welfare Minister Goodfellow is in favor of a pension of not less than 35 a month. The Ontario penâ€" sion at present is $28 a month, made up of $25 contributed threeâ€" quarters by the Dominion and oneâ€" quarter by the province plus a proâ€" vincial bonus of $3.

In effect, the announcement was an order to Canadian residents to turn in to t.he'u't!:’nks any amounts of U.S. money they hold in excess of $10.

The committee includes reâ€" presentatives throughout Canada who are seeking to "honor dadâ€" builder of our children‘s future". Sunday, June 15th To Be Father‘s Day _ Started three years before the first official Mother‘s Day, Father‘s Day was conceived in 1910 by Mrs. John‘ Bruce Dodd of Spokane, Washington. She felt the need of a special day to honor Father and "to call attention to Father‘s place in the home, the training of the chilâ€" dren, the safe guarding of the marâ€" riage tie, the protection of womanâ€" hood and childhood." Mrs. Dodd embodied her wishes in a letter to a Ministers‘ Alliance which received it favorably. From this humble beginning, the day of remembrance grew to national imâ€" portance, ¢aining impetus throughâ€" out the United States and Canada. It, soon became the custom to wear on Father‘s Day, a white rose for remembrance, and a red rose for living tribute. The Father‘s Day tribute on June 15 marks the first official celebration of the day in ‘Canada since before the war, durâ€" ‘ing which period, with so many men away in uniform, it was not widely marked. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ As chairman of the Father‘s Day Committee, Mr. Birrell himself tyâ€" glifies an average Canadian father. e is the father of two sons and a dteudzhter and has owned and operâ€" ated his own business since he was 23.
