One consolation, huntmfi:uuu:hnkemnhn't only what you kill that counts. It‘s the beauty of a fall day.

Some of the other hunters tell us that there are far more ducks around this part of the country than there were last year, so you may still supply that duck for the Sunday dinner. Many of the local drivers are getâ€" ting just a little tired of the hurdle race alon? Kini St. No doubt a great deal of the fault lies with the paving com%any. but there are other things to blame. Probably if we all live long enough and don‘t crash our cars into one of the many barriers, they will get the road completed, and it will make a worth while difference. JHS. ‘The decision to hold rugby games in Waterloo Park is greeted with mixed feelings by Waterloo resiâ€" dents. Those living a considerable distance from the park think it is a good idea; but those whose resiâ€" dence is close to the park, rememâ€" ber that they had to put up with the terrific racket from the ball g):mes all summer, and they wish that they would take their rugby games out in the country someâ€" where. . . and the further away the Waterloo residents evidently are going to sit back and let five of the council members, railroad them into accepting parking meters, whether they like it or not. . The five men are of course the four members of the council, plus Mayor Hilliard, who voted to have these meters installed in Waterloo. One of these men even made the statement that the storekeepers did not owect to the idea of the meâ€" ters. We wonder which storekeeper he got that from. â€" The probabilities are, that even those council members who voted for the meters, did not know why, except. . . Kitchener had them. The storekeepers and other taxâ€" payers were not asked whether they wanted them in Kitchener either, or there wouldn‘t have been any meters. _ â€" â€" _ lt would almost seem that the dumb taxpaKer hasn‘t anything to say about what he is willing to pay or do. That part of his existence is left to the intelligent (?) handling of the police and some council members. Feed dealers in this area are beâ€" ginning to feel the pinch from the present grain shortaf‘e. Our inforâ€" mant told us today that the reason there is practically no grain comâ€" ing in to this area is because the Western farmers are holding their wheat back in the hope that the ceiling will be lifted in the next few days. _ However, if the ceiling was to be lifted on wheat while the present meat strike is on, it would mean a heyâ€"day for the small meat packing concerns who are still working, for it is felt that if the ceiling comes off feed grains, then it will also come off meat at the same time. Our informant pointed out that the Canadian Government is as usual assuming its middle of the fence position and will not say whether the ceiling is to be reâ€" moved.or not. In the meantime loâ€" cal farmers and breeders are going tomnnhortofteedgainsand there will be none available. If this does take place there is little doubt but that it will result in large quanâ€" tities of meat being “dumpeg" on the consumer market with the reâ€" sult that the E‘rice of meat generâ€" ally will decline. _ _ e You sportsmen who rose to greet Concentrates which are mixed with the g'ain to make feeds are still available in fair quantities and local farmers who are fortunate enough to have been able to store any quantity of feed grain are adâ€" vised to get in touch with their feed suppliers in order to find the best way of mixing, in order to make his grain supp{y last as long as possible.

LARGE CROWD ATTENDS FUNERAL OF WILLIAM UFFELMAN A large crowd attended funeral services held Monday for William Uffelman, 58, of 68 John Street.

His wife the former Minnie Hagen, aied in 1938. He was prominent in municipal affairs, hav‘zloobeen mayor and reeve of Wa , as well as @lderâ€" man for four years. At the time of his death he was assessment comâ€" missioner and tax collector. _ _ Commerce President Mr. Uffelman w president of the Board of , member of the Waterloo Young Men‘s Club, a life member of Grand Lodge A.F. and A.M. 151, a member of Kitchâ€" ener Charu'_r 117, and a pastor preâ€" ceptor of Valiette Preceptory No 64 of the Mocha Tem%e. of Germaâ€" nia Lod&e ILO.O.F., Waterloo. He was on the executive of the Waterâ€" loo Musical Society, a former memâ€" ber of the Boy Scouts Association. After graduating from the Kâ€"W Collegiate he began his career as a Says Free Enterprise Still Flourishing QUEBEC.â€"Instead of the Comâ€" munistâ€"desired _ tailspin _ toward which our economy is currently supposed to be headed, North Ameâ€" rican Free Enterprise continues to flourish under the incentive of the profit motive, Earl O. Shreve, preâ€" sident of the United States Chamâ€" ber of Commerce, said Tuesday in an address prepared for delivery at the 18th annual meeting of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce. "It is to be expected, that Euroâ€" pean collectivist leaders will conâ€" tinue to denounce our economic system, remarking that it may do very well for backward Americans yet would be impracticable in the Europe of today," said Shreve. "But it is incomprehensible that peopleâ€"even educated and apparâ€" ently informed peopleâ€"on this side of the world should echo those asâ€" sertions. These are people who cannot be ignorant of what collecâ€" tivist economy means to all except the dictatorial few at the top." it "Authoritarian dictatorships," said Shreve, "by their very characâ€" ter, are distinguished for specious propaganda, cruel concentration camps, hippodromed demonstraâ€" tions and public buildin&s plasterâ€" ed with fanciful portraits of the collectionist leaders in heroic proâ€" portions. But these same dictatorâ€" ship countries continue in scant supply of such accommodations as automobiles, bathtubs and refrigerâ€" ators." "Capitalist North America has kept on raising wages and living conditions and breaking down class barriers," Shreve said. "In fact, the North American Free Enterprise system has continued to operate with _ everâ€"increasing â€" efficiency. Actually we are solving our own social and economic problems while at the same time showing an examâ€" ple to the other peoples of the world." Discussing international trade, the United States Chamber of Commerce president said business men the world over were "becomâ€" ing more and more aware" of tha need for trade expansion. ‘"We have come to realize that business creative energies, peculiar to the North American private enâ€" terprise system, hold out the greatâ€" est hope of retrieving the rest of mankind." We must look forward to a forâ€" eign trade based on reciprocal and mutual benefits to ourselves and our customers. We must visualize the time when balanced trade again will become a realityâ€"not on* a countryâ€"toâ€"country basis, but mulâ€" :::-literally between all trading naâ€" jons." Means suggested by Shreve to ovgrcome the world shortage of U.S. doliars were: Increased foreign travel by United States citizens; importation and storing of strateâ€" gic and other essential materials, more effective merchandising by foreign sellers; United States stuâ€" dies to increase imports of foreign products; loose:::gs of customs reâ€" gulations and tariffs. Ontario Has 88 Highway Fatalities In September TORONTO.â€"Traffic accidents in | Ontario cost 88 lives last month, the worst September since 1940, when 92 were killed on provincial streets and highways. The nineâ€"month toâ€" tal this year was 486, as compared to 453 for the same period in 1946. But the increase in traffic deaths was not proportionate to the inâ€" crease in motor vehicles, new driâ€" vers and other conditions contribuâ€" ting to accident hazards. . .

Seven provinces also had urged the union to conciliate. In his reply, Mr. Bracken stated: "Substance of what I said two days ago in Brandon where local packâ€" inghouse workers had not then gone one strike was as follows: The packinghouse workers‘ dispute unâ€" der our constitution was a grovinâ€" cial responsibility; the strike was unconstitutional in most provinces: that the majority of provincial preâ€" miers had taken right attiudes toâ€" ward it; that there was some justiâ€" fication for the packinghouse workâ€" ers wanting an increase in pay in view of the rising cost of living. _ Three Cars Involved In Accident at Baden "The strike has already cost emâ€" ployees more than $1,500,000 in lost wages." _ _0 _ _ _ â€" "I note that you agree with this in view of the offer you have alâ€" ready made of a fiveâ€"cent per hour increase in wages."
